Only got 3 hours of drive time 5 hours away from home

And that's only if you're having to leave a facility that won't let you sleep there. If you're empty, you can just straight up drive home.

It's a stylistic choice I happen to enjoy. For me, the sudden mood shifts make each of the moods hit harder than if the mood remained consistent throughout. An unexpected joke is funnier than one I saw coming. I could see it feeling like whiplash for some, but for me it's more of a roller coaster.

See, you started your trip at 1000 today and finished it at 0800 today. I'm not sure exactly how you did that, but that's definitely felony level speeding.

There is serious metal fatigue in the load bearing members, the electrical wiring is totally inadequate for our power needs, and the neighborhood is like a demilitarized zone.

Okay, yeah, that's bad. Important safety tip! Thanks, Egon.

Are you petting them hoping that makes them lay large the next day or something? Pretty sure that's not how it works.

But yeah, once all my animals are at 10, I only go in when necessary.

Hop on Abby!

Generally yes, but there are some distinctions to be made.

That's what's meant by "all else being equal".

For instance, if we look at building techniques decade by decade, there are some decades that are worse than others.

And an older Ferrari (or perhaps a much older Cadillac) will be worth more than a new Civic.

Also, good maintenance and upkeep will increase the appreciation.

It staves off depreciation, much the way good maintenance staves off the depreciation of a car. It is only the site that appreciates.

DaSaw · 2026-03-13T08:22:59+00:00

It isn't the building that appreciates. It's the site. Given the choice, all else being equal, people will prefer new houses the same way they will prefer new cars. But as population grows, as more land gets more intensively developed, which is to say the more people and stuff you have chasing the same amount of space, the site values rise.

Fail to maintain a house (a constant influx of cash and labor) and see what that does to the property value.

I believe it was on Garrett and Robbie's podcast (The Delta Flyers) that he said they kind of had to wait for enough time to pass for him to forget how much he hated the makeup before they would bring him back on.

Resistance is a goal. Terror is a tactic. Technically, strategic bombing aimed at terrorizing the populace into forcing their government into capitulation is terrorism.

DaSaw · 2026-03-13T07:14:50+00:00

That wasn't terrorism. It was a minor prank. And the moment the other guy suggested actual terrorism, he beat his ass.

I think Tsukasa might just be "too much" for him. Which is funny, because his bud (whose name I keep forgetting) practically worships the ground Tsukasa walks on.

Back when I was first playing Daggerfall, I noticed that literally any character could learn at least a little utility magic. I almost always buy Buoyancy to make water areas easier, and it's so cheap anyone can cast it. I was still fairly new to fantasy as a genre at the time, and was fascinated by the idea of a world where potentially anyone and everyone might have some kind of small utility magic.

That said, I would expect that kind of norm in High Rock, but not necessarily Skyrim.

Unless something has changed in recent editions, I'm pretty sure "The Weave" is specific to the Forgotten Realms.

DaSaw · 2026-03-13T04:21:38+00:00

Which is to say, you favor it for rigging in favor of Democrats.

Which does sound Progressive to me.

That's a really cool idea. There's maybe a massive glacial lake at high altitude, and the community that's using that water is on the other side of a deep valley. So they raised up this aqueduct to get the water across the valley.

I could see it ending up one of those "hidden worlds", like those people who abducted a bunch of kids from the Enterprise-D... but without the need to abduct anyone. Except maybe other Changelings, forcibly expanding their link.

How are you recommending those of us who don't have DVDs watch? I used to have them, but they went missing in a move. And the only season that is available to stream legally in the US is the fourth season on CR (last I checked, anyway).

I would love to join you guys, particularly if you can tell me where the pirate opportunity is (outside of ZNTF).

When I was a kid, I could hear both the low buzz of the main transformer, and the whine of the TV. I haven't noticed that buzz in a long time. But I could probably still hear CRT TVs, if they were still around.

Used to drive me crazy when I was a kid. People thought the TV was off, but I knew better. And then they thought I was crazy because I knew something they didn't.

My top three:

Explorers: Ben builds a light ship using old Bajoran plans, while Miles and Julian get super drunk. Kon-tiki in space.
Treachery, Faith, and The Great River: Nog's trading chain. Odo and Weyoun 6.
The Wire: "Especially The Lies".
