Dyersville Field Of Dreams Visit
7hills was mentioned above. They also have a restaurant in Dyersville. My wife and I went there recently and it's probably the best meal I've had in Dyersville now that the Country Junction is closed. -

Dyersville Field Of Dreams Visit
Textile Brewing in Dyersville is pretty good and has good pretzels and flatbreads if you need a food option. Depending on how much of scenic day of driving you are looking for, here are some additional options. There are a handful of wineries in the area, specifically Park Farm near Bankston... -

Residential Solar Panels
Illinois has this now. HOA's cannot prevent a roof mounted or ground mounted install. They also cannot regulate it in such a way that would cause more than a 10% reduction in output.- bstegs

Star Wars Expanded Universe Thread
I liked that Katie Sackhoff was in a scene with robots that looked strongly like cylons. Also the repeated "oh no, I don't have the info. you have to go over there to talk to that person" device was overused in this episode. Lizzo want good as an actress. And the sentencing of Christopher Lloyd... -

"Autograb" what? I didn't know that was a thing. That may be one of my most dreaded gameplay sequences ever. -

The Last of Us HBO series
This is definitely true. I've played the first game 3 times and the second game twice. It has meant some aspects of the show haven't captured my attention, but there are plenty of others where I've been stunned by how well they executed or incorporated a sequence. This was particularly true with... -

The Last of Us HBO series
It's actually pretty amazing how much they've minimized the interaction with the infected in the series. It's so much better than the walking dead's common plot device of "oh we're just out here walking around for reasons, oh ****, zombies are surrounding us, how could we have ever heard them" -

Standing Desk
I'll second the uplift. I bought one in 2020 on the recommendations of several coworkers. I have slowly added accessories over time. I have two poles clamped to the desk with 4 total monitors on them (49" ultra wide, 2 30", and 24"). Also not listed below is the PC hanger. Everything raises and... -

The Last of Us HBO series
A couple of thoughts. The sniper scene and zombie uprising were extremely well done. It just all seemed so much more visceral than the game. I found this sequence in the game to fun, but extremely annoying during the first part where you have to take down the sniper. I don't have the link... -

I have the flu
Sometimes you just have to grab a wastebasket and let fly from both ends. Had a nasty bout of food poisoning in 2009 that brought me to that place. Even worse was having a roommate in the same situation in a single bath apartment. Negotiating a rotation was tricky. -

Residential Solar Panels
I was quoted ~$30k for a 20k setup for my house in 2021 before inflation hit. That was the size they said I needed based on 9 months of electric bills.- bstegs

Is Fibromayalga Real?
I have encountered a lot of people who complain about headaches but have never actually had a migraine. I can't really take them seriously. Until you've seen flashing colors in the air and have no peripheral vision, don't talk to me about a headache. -

Is Fibromayalga Real?
She definitely has inflammation. But that seems to be an effect rather than a cause.
