A real prepper would practice jerking it dry.

Yeah, the only thing I take is for high blood pressure and it wouldn't be great to be without it but it wouldn't be life threatening in the short term at least. My step dad on the other hand, takes blood thinners because his heart is fucked and if he's off of them for more than a couple days...

Yeah and grocery stores aren't much better. It seems like a lot of food but for most of them they are set up for just in time delivery. What is on the shelves is all they have and without multiple semi-loads being delivered daily, they don't have food. Add to that the panic buying and/or...

Yeah I think the way I live is just an inherent advantage in this kind of situation. I'm 40 miles from the nearest town, 200 miles from the nearest city of over 100k and 500 miles from the nearest city of over a million. I have a relationship with everyone who lives within 20 miles of me. We...

"Relatively low" tax rates are way higher than loan interest rates. No one should really be taking out personal loans from either a bank or their 401k unless it's an extreme emergency. If you're a homeowner you should have like $20k (more or less depending on where you are and how much your...

On top of that you're repaying the loan with after tax dollars which will be taxed when you withdraw the money. You're basically trading pre-tax dollars for after tax dollars that will now be taxed a second time. Also, with some plans, you can't make any contributions while you have a loan out...

To me that chart says "You don't have most of this shit and you're going to be fucked like everyone else when society collapses".

What do gay gamers get into? Collecting action figures?

I think I'm confusing a 401k with an IRA. You do have to consider the opportunity cost of having your money out of the market for 5 years. In that way it could cost you quite high interest vs a bank loan.

Did you borrow from a Roth? My understanding is that if you take money out of a tax deferred account for more than 60 days you have to pay income taxes on it as well as paying a penalty?

Yeah, don't borrow money from your 401k unless you can put it back within 60 days. Most expensive loan you can take out.

Not to this level but once in a while the Little Caesar's here just puts a preposterous amount of toppings on the pizza. Like 2-3 times what you would expect. I have really considered trying to do a study to learn which employee does this and what their work schedule is. It's definitely not...

My grandma used to make it with salt and pepper and garlic with some Parmesan cheese grated over it before it's served. Good stuff and super simple. I'd probably add some red pepper flakes but she couldn't handle anything even slightly spicy.

This. My brother and his wife are constantly having problems because both their cats and dogs can open doors. I'm like "ever heard of round doorknobs?".

I've had more trouble with people throwing shit into my pickup bed than taking it out.

Al? Who's Al? Bundy? How's he going to take over he world?

Or just don't go to parties where murdering is going to happen. He's 36 years old now and rich. What's the upside of hanging around with that kind of people? Apparently he is that kind of people. EDIT: Just read the news story. Apparently he was firing to protect his diamond encrusted...

That's fucking aggressive pointing it right into the neighbor's yard. That dude is a total cuck for paying for a French drain for it. I'd just mix up a thin batch of hydraulic cement and dump it down the pipe.

I tried the Dave's Hot Chicken "reaper" chicken yesterday. They make you sign a waiver when you order. I got the combo with 1 tender and one slider. It was definitely hot for a chain restaurant. I like hot stuff and it made my eyes water and my nose run. Even caused some mild stomach...

I liked that he acknowledged that he doesn't have to make a living on his farm and talked about how hard it is to make money in agriculture. I think it helps people to understand why agriculture is subsidized like it is. If you want a cheap, reliable food supply it's better if the farmers...

Yeah, the tomatoes you get at the supermarket and especially at fast food restaurants are barely the same thing as a real tomato. When the tomatoes in the garden start to get ripe I go get about 5 lbs of thick cut bacon and a couple loaves of bread and go on an all BLT diet for a week.

I would argue that if you're focus group testing the plot of your story then you're not really writing anymore. At least not in an artistic way. You can't make art if you're that worried about what people think. Might as well hire a writer's room with one person of every race and LBGTQ+...

Good tomatoes make any sandwich better. My Mom makes sandwiches with peanut butter, tomato, and mayo when we have garden tomatoes. Sounds horrifying but I dare you to take a bite of one and say it doesn't taste good.

But it's cheaper to just buy a restaurant and force them to put a Monte Cristo on the menu than to go to Disneyland.

There's more than one way to fertilize your lawn...

I get a lot of use out of the dimmers in my TV room but in a shop I agree. Can't really imagine a scenario where you would want it darker in there.

Sounds like he probably should have been locked up years ago.

I don't care what kind of fixture, but get a lot of lights. My constant frustration is not having enough lights in my shop. I doubled what used to be there and I need to at least double it again to be able to see in there. My eyes have gotten worse in my 40's as most people's do and it's so...

Yeah, the more mature grass is the less palatable and nutritious it becomes. This is especially true of tall grasses that become lignified. I have pastures with native grasses and ones with introduced grasses that are taller but it's very deceptive because sometimes it looks like the...

The cattle ones about about $250 each and require an $18 a year subscription fee per animal. What's really revolutionary with the collars for grazing animals is that we've learned that the best way to graze is to graze a small area with a large number of animals and then move on quickly and...

Getting shocked often will stress them out but my understanding is that once they get trained they don't get shocked anymore. It makes noise and vibrates before it shocks them and they learn to react to that.

My experience with trees is that they will grow on their own where you don't want them but if you plant them intentionally then they will die immediately.

I think there are still a few movies that they haven't made a sequel for. They are 25+ years ago and all the actors are old or dead now but I think they can still put out a piece of shit sequel to get a few more dollars out of the retards.

Yeah I didn't hate any of the seasons but S1 is the only one I have or would rewatch.

Don't put chicken skin in it. Learned that the hard way.

The other thing is that they seemed to have no problem with the virtual fence collars which are a lot newer tech than tractor gps. I am in love with the idea of those collars and I'm seriously considering getting them for my cattle even though it would probably be an initial investment of well...

The GPS systems could be a little complicated for a boomer. My mom has plenty of experience driving tractors but I'd rather take a beating than try to teach her how to use the GPS. Once it's set up and working it's easy mode but making sure it understands the shape of the field and getting it...

Just take it to a tire shop. They know how to fix all sorts of leaks and it's not that expensive.

It happens. Living 10 miles down a gravel road I've had every type of flat tire imaginable, including that one.
