Cooking and Dining
One year the church my family attended compiled a cook book of recipes from all the members. They mistakenly attributed my grandmother's submission to another woman, and her's to my grandmother. Every holiday after she had a glass of wine my dad would get her ranting about how Eloise stole her recip...

Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)
The Rangos Giant Cinema didn't have reserved seating. I'm expecting it to be a **** show. When are you going? We are Thursday for 7. I figured we'd go down around there and have an early dinner at about 3:30, then go over and get in line. Something on their site or their ticketing site said they wo...

NTP66's thread of IT
If anyone is ever considering building a home server to store family media, Plex, etc I can't recommend unRAID enough. I put my system together right around the 2016 Stanley Cup Finals and it was extremely easy to do. It was working great ever since until recently when it was randomly freezing/shutt...

Can’t really blame Google here. In unrelated news, I’m not a fan of the new Kodi experience in terms of add-ons. I’m using the No Limits Magic Firestick Lite build, and while the UI is nice, god damn is everything slow. I used to be able to get from the Kodi launch to watching a video in under a mi...

A toned down Disneyfied Deadpool would fail. Why would Disney do that? They release their R movies from their other studios. Not really anymore. They previously had Touchstone, Hollywood, and Miramax operating as full blown studios that would make PG13 and R rated films. Miramax was sold off and th...

Assuming I purchase a bluetooth adapter for this thing (I will, to work with my tablet) is there any chance I can buy a bluetooth speaker and assign it as the back right one? Or is that just asking way too much out of the technology? Thats not how that works. Your only option for "wirelessly" tryin...

i cant comment on that, but the 360 roller coaster video was pretty strange. you feel like you should be moving, but then when the train comes around a corner and youre still sitting on you couch without moving it feels strange. Disney filed something against Redbox today for selling the digital dow...

My new phone came with an offer for a free Google Daydream View VR headset. It is...interesting. Not much more than a novelty toy imo. I'm still waiting on the code to download a bunch of games for it. Video playback doesn't look all that great. The way it's all set up is neat (on Netflix's app it l...

I don't think it ever beeped - I can't recall it beeping.
This is a headless machine and I couldn't find it on my network at all. Thats what clued me into the problem.

It looks and sounds like a normal bootup - fans start whirling, lights come on, hard drives spin up. I wouldn't mind replacing it with something that consumes a touch less power. Rare Plex transcoding is really my only need for any CPU power. I have an AMD A10 in there simply because it was lying ar...

its kind of amazing how quiet everything is post avengers 4. for over 3 years now they've had this huge pipeline of films. now i assume any announcements will result in a spoiler. i remember being skeptical if the first avengers film would work, and i loved it. i hope the same is true here, consider...

praise that every frame a painting guy, he single handily is getting these movies to fix their music. the guy who did ragnorok referenced that video as a challenge to him, and now they've actually used their own theme in a trailer instead of something from Hi Finesse or another trailer music house.

should i try searing it before roasting, or after? i just bought a torch, could that help? All your steps are good. I'm so-so on torches, probably get better results using a griddle or cast iron thing. I'd suggest a light sear to start, cook via your preferred method, then a hard sear to finish. Ma...

that also probably violates some fine print somewhere in the EULA about use of copywritten/trade marked content

It's missing the two best Criterion films - Armageddon and The RockNope.
It's fantastic:

Criterion Collection is clutch for people who don't watch Disney movies.
