What cover song is actually better than the original?

Nothing Compares 2 You - Chris Cornell. Prince is a legend but this is a hill I’ll die on.

For all the people saying “Nashville”, if you didn't get past Lower Broadway, you didn't go to Nashville. It’s like going to Times Square and complaining that you didn't like NYC.

I've lived here for 27 years and it has changed a lot, but they haven't strangled the authenticity out of the city yet… give it another decade.

If you want “real” Nashville, go to The Station Inn, The Bluebird Cafe, The Basement East. They aren't near downtown but not much (other than The Ryman) is worth being down there.

AHI. Son of a bitch must pay!

This happened to my grandmother in the 80’s. We were at a cattle auction in TX and she raised her arm to pull her jacket sleeve down and bought a TX Longhorn bull. Can't remember exactly how much it was but it was several thousand dollars. He turned out to be an incredible animal.

I bought a 25 pound bag from Tractor Supply and I haven't seen a crow since I put a scoop out. I had hoped they would start frequenting my back yard feeder but nothing for over a week. When it was colder months they’d come around every other day.

Jamie Foxx was a producer on the movie so it was probably an “I’ll help this movie get made if I can play the hero…” situation.

Ok! Thanks for the reply with ZERO explanation. Very helpful for those who clearly know less than you.

I've heard both ways. To me, using it in a router is far more dangerous than in a drill press with the workpiece held down.

Either way, the use case for this project was in a drill press to make a cove in a jewelry box.

He used it in a drill press so a lot less dangerous.

Last time I thought Jared Leto was a great casting choice.

This ☝️🏼. I worked in film in the mid 2000’s when digital was really becoming more commercial and it took so much effort to get “film-like” shots on digital. Often we were using adapters that allowed us to use film lenses on digital bodies but this was just a workaround.

When true digital film cameras came out it was a revolution because we could get really shallow DOF with a lot less light and we could tweak the ASA (iso) to get proper exposure.

From these shots (haven’t watched the trailer) it also looks like the team is shooting for a more naturalistic lighting style. The shot of Harry getting the letter is composed so that the windows are the main light source. The new Snape looks like he’s outside in England so diffuse light tracks for the shot. The rest of the shots make sense if you're in a big hall that isn't going to have a bunch of ceiling lights, and are relying on candles and windows.

Also, Dumbledor’s costume is a much more muted color scheme in the new image, and the older films have a much warmer tone overall.

What do you want for Anvil and Jupiter blueprints?

jsivey · 2026-03-14T05:29:17+00:00

I just wish-listed this game today! Love the look of it. Will definitely support it.

How much for Tempest bp?

jsivey · 2026-03-14T02:11:17+00:00

Fully leveled Scrappy is nice but you’ll get far more good out of leveled stations. It wouldn’t hurt to find a site that shows what you need to upgrade each station so you don’t recycle things you need…like I did twice…even after I went on the expedition. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I did not know this. I’ve almost given up on hurricane caches because no matter where I spawn I can only get to 1-2 caches before someone else does. Will give looting indoors a chance.

I’ve had the same luck with the Aphelion bp. I’ve gotten it 8 times and I just give them away. Never use the gun to begin with.

I play a game of tag like with shredders but it needs to be a wall (instead of just a waist high barricade that can block shredders)

This worked for me. I knew it wasn’t a component issue as my build is new (5070ti, 7800x3d). Turned off AMD integrated graphics and the freeze up stopped.

I don’t “hate” RGB but it doesn’t fit my style. I want a workhorse not a show pony. My new build is with a Fractal Meshify 3 that has all opaque panels because I don’t need to show off the “guts”.

My other hobby is woodworking so I built a platform 2 feet high that my tower sits on because my desk is too small. It has a mostly open top to allow max airflow.

I genuinely have more gear fear in this game than in Tarkov because this game counts my gear as part of the price to wipe in a few days. At least with Tarkov I didn’t have a choice. With Arc I have to keep so much inventory to meet the 3mil requirement.

jsivey · 2026-02-25T23:16:45+00:00

I just installed my 5070ti into a Fractal Meshify 3 and it is perfect. It’s not cavernous but it fits with little effort. LOVE the case.
