    How much below your door threshold is it? Do you step down to it? Might be possible to cover it with cement just a couple inches thick...Or perhaps get just enough sand on it to make a smooth surface and put patio stones?

    Mercy, is that ever ugly. Sorry. Yeah, I can see that would be hard to walk on. Jack hammer should do it. It won't be a simple task, but with a jackhammer a Saturday's good work would do it (provided you had a place to put it like a dumpster or something).

    Yeah, it'd turn into small pieces pretty quick I'm guessing. And while the drainage is nice, why keep a yard as it is if you end up never using it? Makes it dead space. But I'm curious what it looks like. Post a picture?

    One of the places at which I work uses thermostats by Emmerson that connect over a network called "Sensi." They've been amazingly reliable, and accessible from anywhere. I think I'm going with one of these, as they're only about $100. I don't know that the Nest has enough benefits to justify the...

    Yeah, the Behmor has a safety thing that switches it to cool mode with 4:30 left, and you have to push the right button to make it keep roasting. There is a way to shut that off, but I stay with my roasting beans every time because you have to do things by sound, so monitoring it makes it...

    I spent the money and got one of these: Amazon.com: Behmor 1600 Plus Customizable Drum Coffee Roaster: Kitchen & Dining I do about 3/4 of a pound at a time, and it's easy to manipulate and experiment with. It feels like a lot of money on the outset, but consider that I'm getting beans for $3...

    So, everyone wondered if Ottawa can overcome the inertia of the last game. They've obviously done that. Additionally, the major issues last game for Ottawa were flaccid neutral zone play, and the complete lack of the creation of offense destroyed them. In this game, Pitt can't get across the...

    This is absolutely true, and for Starbucks, it became a practice to over roast the beans in order to give it the robust flavour, even with inferior beans. I know this isn't a popular opinion, but I think Starbucks' coffee just tastes burned. I really don't like it. I don't roast to that limit...

    Not really. A good, dark roast brings out the oils and flavours. Beans and meat are not equivalents, and they don't react to roasting in the same way. You do alter the flavour, but by making it bolder while adding the darkness of the roast in to the flavour.

    Okay, good points. Frustrating the Pens Offensive starters isn't a bad plan, but it can't be at the expense of creating any offense of their own.

    These are true words. When they stop creating offense, they lose. Every. Fucking. Time. How is it that every spectator can see it, but the coaches and offensive line can't?

    Holy crap, who could not see that goal coming a mile away? Ottawa all of a sudden shifted into penalty kill mode, creating no offense. Malkin is a beast. Edit: they just posted, 14 minutes in to the third, Ottawa hasn't had a shot this period. What the hell happened?

    There is a new food truck in town. It's tied to a local farm. They grow pigs and cows, and this food truck serves their home made sausage, smoked beef tips, shredded pork, thin-sliced beef, and so forth. I'm trying desperately to work my way through their menu, but they don't have a regular...
