Dude, you should see the stuff that goes on on construction sites. You never fucking TOUCH a pop bottle that's laying on the ground, because there's a very good chance some drywaller or painter pissed or shit in it. It's fucking mind boggling what some of those animals will do. It's not uncommon...

Oh yeah, that side of things we'll simply have to let our lawyers worry about when the time comes. Not a fucking chance that either my brother or I can evaluate any of the fine print. We're more concerned with how the rough structure of the deal stacks up. We're with Denton's, not Saul, so I...

Watch Lebowski more often. Asshole. I'm like 30 pages behind. Catching up.

The presentation package we were given to review the project, financials and that kind of thing was drawn up with an institutional investor in mind (pension or hedge fund), they admitted as much when we met with them the other day. They've changed their strategy to pursue private investors...

Sounds like terrible people all the way around. Why do people insist on shitting where they eat?

Oh for sure. But I mean people who are single or married/living with a GF/BF that have 3,500 square foot houses overflowing with shit. It just boggles my mind. If I bought a house right now, the only parts of it that would be likely to have furniture in 5 years' time is my bedroom and whatever...

Bro and I have been kicking around the idea of investing in a high rise tower project with a developer that we've done a few projects for. Their institutional investor backed out, because everyone's terrified of Alberta's economy right now with the oil downturn. To make a long story short, the...

Pretty sure that any retail business is required to have a washroom. Depending on local building codes and the like, of course.

Same condo for 11 years now. And honestly, the thought of moving in to a house and filling it with shit I don't need or want vaguely terrifies me. The amount of time and money people spend on their homes is mind boggling to me. And it's not that I'm always out and about and hardly go home or...

Picked up that setup to replace a really, really old 5.1 Logitech setup. I'm really enjoying it so far. It's way the fuck too powerful for most of my PC usage, in all honesty. But I've found myself using that PC for playing music in my space more often now than taking the time to fire up the...

Seems like the markets so far are not anticipating a long outage, and have barely budged. It was only yesterday that the media and politicians took a tour of the town. Damage assessments are still being done. They figure that 85-90% of the town was not damaged. As of right now, the town is still...

Shut-in estimates are now 600-800k BPD:Oil prices jump as Fort McMurray wildfire slows down oilsands production - Calgary - CBC News

Oil prices may well take a jump here with the fire situation in Fort McMurray. Not sure how well known it is outside of Canada, but the area produces about 2 million barrels a day, and they've had to evacuate the entire fucking town. None of the facilities are threatened, but the mines...

The context is that Hendricks had gone hard in to the boards previous to that fight, and Polak had taken a penalty on the play. In reality he actually didn't do anything to Hendricks, he toe picked on his own. But Nurse probably didn't see a replay, and was operating under the assumption that...

Ah, gotcha. Gluing isn't as simple as people think it is on pressure systems. Making sure the pipe is clean, that you scuff up and deburr the pipe, use the proper glue and primer, etc etc. When we first started using a lot more glued pressure systems we initially had some problems as guys were...

Simplest/quickest solution might well be a fresh install of the OS.

I dunno, I find this "fight" kind of hilarious. I feel bad for Polak though. Poor guy I think was just calling for a change at his bench, but made the mistake of doing it within 5' of Nurse, who thought he was challenging him for a fight. Ass kicking commenced immediately. I think it was a...

One of the biggest things that people don't realize is how many calories they're drinking. Whether that be in coffee (milk/sugar), pop, beer/booze, or what have you. Even a single can of pop a day is 15-20 pounds a year, all else being equal. I'd ditch the cereal. Cereal is not "part of a...

The rest of the Yucatan's pretty fantastic though. If you're looking for a smaller, boutique all inclusive on the Riviera, the Azul Fives was really nice:Azul Fives Hotel Suites & Room Types - Official Site | Karisma Hotels Pretty decent options for food, service was good, etc etc. Was...

Meh, doesn't cost you anything. Personally if I'm in a commission based store and get to the cashier with my stuff without having been helped by someone, if the cashier asks me who helped I'll just point at the nearest person so they get a cut. Makes no difference to me. Pushy salesmen, yeah...

I think it is absolutely a wonderful idea to inform your wife of what a broken down, trick ass ho she has become.

You glued CPVC and PVC together? Seriously? That shit ain't kosher bro. The only way to join two different types of plastic in a pressure system is through a threaded or flanged connection.

That's tough. I can understand people who have terminal cancer not wanting to go through a bunch of awful treatments just to get a few more weeks or months, and the conflict that can cause in a family. My best friend's father in law died of bile duct cancer last year, and when he initially said...

Crimp PEX, yes. Expansion PEX like Uponor/Wirsbo, nope. The ID of an Uponor fitting is pretty much the same as copper tube size ID. Sch40 (steel or PVC) would have the largest ID. Sch80, which most CPVC products are (with the exception of the Flowguard product I mentioned above, which was copper...

Maybe start with this latency checker thing:DPC Latency Checker I used it a few years ago when I was getting a lot of hitching and non-synced audio in cut scenes in a couple games. It didn't really help me diagnose what the problem was, but it did show me I had a problem. I resolved it by...

I vote that this gets moved to Screenshots and renamed "Rubik's Mom Joke Thread"

What's better or worse: drunk wedding stories, or Burger King shitting incidents?

It's not just weight. It's body rigidity as well. But yeah, I agree, someone looking for a convertible probably doesn't care about those things. So why buy an M4 in the first place? If you don't care about performance, they're not very good cars. They have worse rides because of the stiffer...

Which is about the dumbest thing ever. The whole idea behind the M series is that they're lighter, faster, and handle better. The exact opposite of what making a car a convertible does.

What were you expecting? Everyone to tell you that your sweet AMD shitbox was still worth $500? Computers devalue by probably 40-50% a year. Which means yours is worth somewhere around $50-100.

If you like or understand fancy stats, this graph shows how good McDavid has been:Skater Comparison -- war-on-ice.com Over the summer Stamkos made some headlines when he said that he thought McDavid was better than him, right now, when he was asked how good he is (they trained together). Some...

Every wedding needs a drunk jackass. Shit, that's pretty much all I remember from most of my friends' weddings, was who got the most shitfaced and made an ass out of themselves.

It was installed over the past 10 years yes, but up until a year or two ago, when the phone calls started. It's a widespread issue, trust me. Just do some googling around, you'll find a shitload of web pages and forum posts about it. The other issue with CPVC in large systems, anyways, is you...

I was in Portland in August, and yeah, it was actually pretty off putting as a tourist. Everything else about Portland was awesome, but the sheer number of fake poor white kids hanging around everywhere was obnoxious as all hell. Our guide on a beer tour went off about it at one point, said most...

21 Pilots has basically taken over my brain. I have no idea why, but I just can't get enough of Vessel and Blurryface.

I'm not here to give you shit or anything, but have you considered that maybe the reason you ended up in shitty relationships in the past is that you haven't figured out how to be happy on your own first? You shouldn't need someone else to be happy, and that's a huge amount of pressure to put on...

Dear Rangers: thank you for Cam Talbot. He's pretty swell.

We used to use a shit ton of CPVC (Flowguard Gold) on thousands of condo/apartment units for domestic water distribution, and more rarely in low temperature heating systems. Then we started getting a lot of reports of pipe/fittings sheering/cracking when any force was put on the pipe. For...

My bud and I rolled around in Oilers jerseys for shits and giggles. Made for a good conversation starter and made each other easier to spot if we got lost in the crowds. No one gave a shit. The majority of people there, from what I recall, were not in traditional dress.

I don't eat at burger/fries fast food joints much at all, and never really have even when I didn't have to give a fuck about what I eat (I'll do Subway, burrito/wrap places etc, donairs when drunk). But when I do, generally it doesn't cause me any issues. My digestive system is generally pretty...
