Re: Requesting assistance from you awesome folks

Thank you so much, guys! I'm waiting for my Medi-Cal card, which is the Cali insurance. I don't have a clue how much they will cover for medications, but they will apparently pay 100% of the treatments that I'll be going through. This is very good news, of course. I've also applied for the Cali EBT ...

Requesting assistance from you awesome folks

tldr: Todd has colorectal cancer, and no insurance thanks to living in stupid America, so has set up a small gofundme to help with the costs of medication: https://gofund.me/f0ed1983 Hi guys, well I'll get right to it. I was diagnosed on March 4th with a 10cm tumor in my rectum, which is what has be...

Re: S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2

I also love that they are making it co-op (albeit in a downstream patch). I have an urge to not play it single player on release, but get a group in the TGA Ghosts to play it through co-op start to finish, experience the whole thing as a group of stalkers. It makes perfect sense, all the other stal...

Re: Ukraine

Zelensky's speech to the US Congress is very compelling, the man knows how to make a point. The usual shithead suspects of the Republican party refusing to stand is unfortunately unsurprising. It happens that Gaetz is my district's congressional representative, here in MAGA-land of Northwest Florid...

Re: The Tastefully Tasteful Cooking Thread

Here's one from my old blog, which has over a dozen other recipes for baking, cooking, and cocktails:

Re: The Tastefully Tasteful Cooking Thread

Ian, here's one that's brilliant on the grill! Here we go with American measurements, but there's not much to consider honestly, it's just ratios anyway. If there's any questions about it, please ask! If I could make a video of this recipe of me making it, everything would be clear as bouillon. Stuf...

Re: The Tastefully Tasteful Cooking Thread

I may be the only resident vegetarian, not so sure but in any case I'll be happy to contribute. I love to cook, and especially to bake. I post lots of stuff on my IG account so I'll pull over images and add the actual recipes. Thanks, should be fun :)

Re: Twitter, the shitshow that keeps on delivering

I had some interesting encounters on Twitter, back in the day. It was an unexpected way of being able to interact directly with celebrities - it would catch me off-guard when I'd make a little comment on some celeb's tweet, and they'd actually reply directly to me. I had several fun conversations th...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Underworld & Underworld: Evolution Should more easily be titled Underworld Parts I & II. Except for a bit of myth-building and deception at the beginning of U:E, it's a story told in two movie releases. I honestly can't find any fault of consequence with these. I've watched them over half a dozen t...

Re: Ghost Recon: Breakpoint

Hey, when Todd's new rig lands (and he stays still long enough to set it up ;) ) you just know we are back off to Bolivia or the other place for more shooty silliness :) I was just thinking about Breakpoint the other day - yes, this is one game that I definitely want to revisit on a new PC, and in ...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) via Netflix This is a brutal movie to watch, putting this out there immediately. It doesn't pull any punches with regards to the realities of WWI trench warfare, hand to hand combat, blood & guts, and so on. The camera shots linger in such a way that it is freq...

Re: Good TV (aka, the TV series spamthread), the second series

Avenue 5 Set on a spaceship luxury liner with Hugh Laurie as the captain. I never knew this existed until yesterday and it's got 2 seasons. Not watched much but it seems to be pretty good so far, cringe comedy in space is probably the best description. Starship Titanic was an influenced maybe. Star...
