I am in small minority of people whom never liked Linus for his presentation style and YT personality, but apparently it was just a tip of the iceberg and actual issues are so much worse. After watching this and horrible reaction from LTT, I improre you - if you LTT fan and regularly watch his...

Most of us saw and liked the first movie; according to critics, the second one doesn't disappoint. The bad news is movie release schedule is cluster duck. Get a load of this: Source: https://deadline.com/2022/10/glass-onion-release-theaters-thanksgiving-week-netflix-1235137171/ I'm looking...

Stay safe, folks in Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina. This is the big bad one, for now, Category 4, with 155mph winds, it's just shy of Cat5. https://arstechnica.com/science/2022/09/as-a-meteorologist-hurricane-ian-is-the-nightmare-storm-i-worry-about-most/...

I purposely omit my personal opinion after watching it. Would like to hear your guys' opinions. It seems a fairly polarizing movie. You either love or hate it.

I would quickly describe it as Blade Runner meets Alita: Battle Angel, though the story and background events heavily skewed toward BR's story. It's not a masterpiece, but if you like Sci-Fi and these two stories in particular then by all means do try to watch it. 3 episodes out by now out of 13...

I haven't ridden much for bicycles for many many years (think at least 30) and with a brief ride or two about 7-8 years ago. I got my oldest (6yo REI Rev 16 bike) after he graduated from Costco bought a balance bike. My current issue is he's too fast and with the health issues I can't keep on...

So about a few months ago, my better half asked me to buy new kitchen barstools. After LOTS of searching various internet sites I found this chair to match our liking: Price seemed a bit high (I think originally it was either Wayfair or Etsy) and with Google reverse image search, I found the...

So my Subaru Outback 2018 3.6R Limited (original MSRP is was around 37k) lease - which was about 10k miles/year/42 months and $435 per month with 1st month at signing. I thought that was a pretty decent deal and I generally like the car for money. Things it has which I care about a lot: Easy to...

After years and years of shilling for this device on these forums, I finally took a plunge late last year and bought the NVidia Shield TV Pro model. I only started using it for a few days and my experience is limited so far, but I will share some of the older streamers and experience with Shield...
