  1. more pleasant weather for me this week and I'm back to working 8 hours a day. I was working 5 hours a day and getting paid for 8 (with 3 hours "working" at home) but all good things must end.
  2. Went from Long Island to NC and other than the abysmal schools, it helped us be able to buy a house and live.
  3. Wow that uncanny valley keeps getting closer and closer, some of the specific characters (the girl in Snow in the Desert" and guy in "Life Hutch") and environments (the world in "The Drowned Giant") were almost perfect. Obviously the stylized stuff looked great too. The one that didn't seem so much like a valley but a chasm was "Pop Squad"
  4. I liked it, but I think some people are going to have a hard time not looking at it as a facsimile of "The Boys" or "Invincible". It's clearly going for it's own thing and I appreciate how a bunch of super heroes that have been alive since the 20's are going to be a little preachy and out of touch from the people of the 2000's .
  5. My memory is failing me. I know I watched it and liked it, but other than the standoff at the end I have no recollection what happened in that movie.
  6. My 8 year old 770 finally bit the dust and I'm looking online for a GTX1060, GTX 1650, or a RX 570 and the prices from reputable sources are astounding. At these prices I might as well just get a 3060. It would be a severe bottle neck but I will eventually be upgrading my i5 3570K, motherboard, and memory later. Any input on not spending $300-$400 on a card that should cost $200. Also need to get a recommendation on a newer wifi card, just realized that the one I've been using is going on 10+ years.
  7. Hasn't happened yet. And it's probably going to take another year for the whole process to be finalized. DSS has moved the case on to termination of parental rights, but our little girl's social worker is hopeful that with a long list of special needs (CP/visually impaired/prone to seizures/behind on all developmental metrics) and with bio-mom wanting her two older kids back and another on the way, she will be persuaded to sign voluntarily without needing the courts to make the decision.
  8. I have a black foster daughter, soon to be actual daughter. Does that count?
  9. Made in Abyss and Dororo are two on prime that are amazing. More recently I've been loving Jobless Reincarnation, Demon Slayer, and Jujutsu Kaisen and my favorite Miyazaki film is Howl's Moving Castle.
  10. aw and you just made me excited and nervous that this may have been a season 2 trailer drop, or info about it's cancelation.
  11. You think a kid playing catch with their dad can catch a heater to first base in a major league game?
  12. 24 hour update, had a rough night/morning with chills and full body aches, slept through most of it. Got to work late and still have a tension headache from the muscle soreness in my shoulder and neck. Also dealing with an upset stomach.
  13. Grew up Lutheran. Used to take solace in the idea that my religion has an afterlife and would quell any sinking feeling in my stomach whenever thinking about our own mortality (thanks 90's acne meds). Rarely missed church, only times were for family trips or sickness. When I went away to college I never really went to church any more. I would attend when I was home and not working, mostly to keep my parents happy. Then came the slow slide into non-religiousness that my family went through. My wife and I got married in my church (mostly due to her being a non-practicing catholic) and both of our daughters were baptized there as well. But that is where our involvement ended. We never even looked for a church when we moved to NC. My parents and sister relocated down here as well and after going to one place a few times, they gave up going as well. My brother came out as gay while in college and my younger daughter had a terminal genetic illness. I think those things soured my parents on organized religion. My wife would classify herself as "spiritual" (whatever that means). And I classify myself as apathetic, I don't care if there is or isn't deities. I no longer feel sick to my stomach when thinking about what happens when we die, and I'm fine with there being only eternal oblivion meeting us in our last sleep.
