@fringemagnet@sunny.gardenBeen rewatching the entire Netflix 'Daredevil' run for the first time in years, while trying (very unsuccessfully) to avoid 'Born Again' spoilers, and I'd almost forgotten how incredibly good it was. Even during the weak parts of S2 it remains great TV, the Frank Castle/Punisher storyline was fantastic and added significant depth to the characters. Overall one of the best things to ever come out of Marvel.

Probably one of the most amazing wildlife clips you’ll ever see, and it never grows old. The unbelievable Lyre Bird. Anyone who underestimates animals should check this out.
If you haven’t seen the clip, make sure you do, and stick with it until the end. It’s brilliant and well worth it!

If my insurance agent could see the shit I get up to in my home, I don't think he'd be quite so nice to me.
But hey! Project complete! We got the giant 36" Trinitron in the loft, and with only one new scratch and one smashed finger. Everything is still sort of pulled apart but you can get a general idea of the layout. His and hers PCs and TVs on either end, with the CRT and retro consoles in the center (less strain on the controller cables and makes split screen co-op easier).
Well... Not quite complete. I still have to reattach the tinted panels, rework all the power/AV cables, install all the consoles, disassemble and remove the hoist, put the couch back, and clean.
But this was the hard part!
