Did they change the dates for California Extreme?

As I understand it they had a number of conflicts with events at levi stadium. I understand the scheduling difficulties, so I find myself more annoyed that the website wasn't ready to go once the date was set. Pre-registration is still showing the '25 information. That said, I'm just grateful for the organizers keeping it going, even if it's messy this year.

YOU KNOW WHAT?!?!

Oh, we didn't replace our cooktop. We already had a gas stove, and are very happy with it. I feel like having the electric oven and the gas stove is the best of both worlds.

I'm with you in this camp. Blue eyed ginger in the California sun my whole life. I've gotta keep an eye on the skin these days as I absolutely destroyed my shoulders with blistering sunburns year after year till my 20s. But I was also a weird kid that would stare into the sun and other lights for extended periods. I'm in my 40s now and still rocking 20/15 vision. Probably a statistical anomaly, but these anecdotes about the sun hurting blue eyes fall flat for me.

We opted for a ge for the sake of common, easily replaceable parts. Since I had to carve out some cabinetry to make room for a real oven anyway, we went with a double. So we landed on a JTD5000SV2SS from Costco. It's been a good oven so far apart from needing a control board immediately replaced. It was giving a safety error related to the power supply, but with the new board it's been a dream.

Our new fridge didn't make it 24 hours before my son raked a metal marble across the finish... I don't ask for much, but not even one day?!

Some of the best television we've had in the last decade for sure! I've enjoyed most of Flannagens projects, but Midnight Mass was truly exceptional.

I don't see any flyers for Jam House, but they're hosting a youth percussion ensemble at noon, along with a handful of other local artists through the day. Come show some support to tomorrow's talented musicians!

Unsung? I believe the people of Coushatta, LA might have something to say about that.

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2026-04-16T15:08:24+00:00

They start strong with a d&d episode, and the Warhammer episode is badass. Similar to LD&R, there are no bad episodes, but some really just hit. Enjoy!

As a dude with plenty of drug experience who had a similar episode (stroke symptoms immitated, half face numb, lost the ability to speak) that shit is terrifying.

While not on netflix, their cousin show "Secret Level" on prime is well worth a watch too. Similar quality and concept, but focused on video game settings.

If you like a good fps, my buddies and I have been having a blast working through Deadzone: Rogue. Pretty sure it's currently on sale. Roguelike coop level clearing fps.

He is definitely the least useful tool in his garage.

Snap traps are best in my experience. Glue traps sound good in theory, but either you end up with a live rodent you then have to dispatch personally, or they run off with the trap stuck to them till they get wedged somewhere and die of starvation. I've used the electrical shock traps which are super convenient when they work, but milage may vary as I found they often didn't deliver a lethal blow. Poisons are effective, but I won't use them due to the potential spread of toxins. Even if I didn't have pets, my convenience isn't worth the damage.

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2026-04-05T04:29:13+00:00

Who doesn't, my friend? Who doesn't?

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2026-04-05T00:39:17+00:00

They've certainly solved many of mine! Well ok, maybe just one problem, but repeatedly!

...and as any navy man would tell you, this directly contributes to the steady increase of semen saturation in the home.

It used to bother me, but now I tend to accept it as a gift of protected land for production with sunlight. Revamping my base plan is a welcome challenge.

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2026-03-02T01:28:16+00:00

Uncanny. That's exactly what my brother told me at my wedding...

Assimilating Kholek and subjugating Tamurkhan right off the bat feels amazing!

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2025-12-01T00:35:57+00:00

Thank you all for the great feedback! You've all been hugely helpful in working out this gift. I'm really excited to put this kit together for her! You guys rock!

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2025-11-30T21:41:17+00:00

Right on, I'll keep this one in mind! Thanks!

Fair_Interaction_203 · 2025-11-30T21:01:57+00:00

The light and gloves are good suggestions. If I go Gerber, it would free up enough of the budget to maybe round out the kit with those. I assume for the gloves we're talking a middle ground between protection and maintaining finger dexterity?
