    House of the Dragon

    I didn't really spend any time inside the source material, and yes the hounds helmet is kind of done in a similar, yet slightly less gaudy/noticeable fashion to Daemon's. I totally forgot about the hound's helmet. He spent the majority of the series without it. Probably wasn't as invested...

    House of the Dragon

    Sorry, perhaps character development wasn't the right word, but I think GOT did a great job of letting you know exactly who the starks and Baratheons/Lanisters were in just a handful of scenes. Ned as the honorable but duty bound nobleman, Arya as the kind of tomboy, bran as kind of the kid...

    House of the Dragon

    Yes, obviously we are in a fantasy setting and so the previous established rules state that we can have dragons, and creatures, and gods etc., but I believe that so far, costuming wise, all of the armor has been fairly faithful to medieval technology. His helmet just doesn't fit aesthetically...

    House of the Dragon

    I think I need to go back and watch it again, but I just didn't get the same connection that I felt with GOT. I know it's only the first episode, but I definitely want to see more character development. I didn't really feel any connection with any of the characters. I also felt the production...

    Great movie soundtracks

    A LOT of good mentions in this thread. One I haven't seen mention of is City of Angels. Any sound track with Peter Gabriel has got to be a winner!

    Ames Water 'Forever Chemicals'?

    Science does what science does. It makes discoveries and attempts to explain the world around us. Science doesn't knowingly market and sell those discoveries, that would be corporations.

    Sleep study

    Figuring out how tight the mask needs to be, takes a bit of time. I think you will see that sometimes the fit might change from night to night. I would say about 90% of the time I don't have to change it, but items like facial hair, congestion, sleeping position(mine isn't always the same)...

    Sleep study

    OP here. I had forgotten about the thread until it popped back up. I did end up getting the study and found that I needed a CPAP machine. I am happy to report that it has drastically improved my sleep. At the time, I was falling asleep at my desk, and I can't say as this has happened since...

    Ballpark cost to put in a basement egress.

    Our home is a new construction(2017). I would be looking at something comparable to our other basement rooms(glass slider) probably something like 36". In a poured wall. Just a simple metal halfmoon type wall.

    Ballpark cost to put in a basement egress.

    I am going to be finishing a room in the basement, and want to install an egress window so it can legally be used as a bedroom. Has anyone recently had an egress installed(in the Ames area)? How much did it set you back? Any recommendations for quality work at a reasonable price? TIA

    Daytona 500

    Good to hear from this article that they are moving the drivers away fro the sides of the car. Aside from making it more difficult to ingress/egress, this should go a long way into making the cars safer.
