    Ancient Civilizations

    Neanderthals being more primitive than Homo sapiens is another piece of scientific dogma that I am convinced is 100% bullshit. Has anyone seen Africans? Literally the most un-advanced people on the planet are the ones that are pure bred Homo sapiens. You know who has more Neanderthal DNA mixed...

    Health Problems

    If you're going to deep dive that then you need to look at anti-perspirants, not deodorants. I make sure to always buy simple deodorants that don't contain aluminum. I have no idea if it causes cancer but the less shit I put in or on my body the better.

    The Fishing Thread

    I have an Outback with the 180 pedal drive and everything has performed flawlessly after a year of pretty intense use. Can't really speak on the 360. What kind of issues are you reading about?

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Wouldnt be turning it into USD for the foreseeable future. Just wondering if, hypothetically, a player could remove some BTC and sit on it anonymously relatively simply. Also, if this player wanted to transfer that BTC to another site that may be a little more above board like, say, a poker...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    I looked at Fidelity, they don't accept actual crypto yet. I think the thing I still don't understand is what is the difference between cold storage and a wallet? Only dealing with BTC. No plans to mess with shit coins. Not that I would ever do such a thing, but am curious how other people...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Could I get some Cliffs Notes on pulling some money off of a poker/gambling website as Bitcoin? I want to avoid any exchanges for now and just keep it safe and secure for now.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Yep. I didn't change or update anything, got the three strikes shutdown, turned YT off for a few days, and came back with everything back to normal. No ads, no warnings. Using Waterfox/Adblock.

    Ancient Civilizations

    It's really not that hard to logic this out, I don't know why it's so hard for these guys. We can find old Indian arrowheads all over the place. Let's do the Hudson River for a hypothetical. So 10,000 years in the future every single microscopic trace of New York City will be completely wiped...

    Let's build some pools!

    We always do concrete/pavers first. Maybe they did it the other way around but I doubt. They would have done all the grading with road base and laid all the pipe for drainages before doing the pavers and turf. Get your pavers correct and just fill in the turf. If you do the Turf first you just...

    Let's build some pools!

    Just don't put crepe myrtles or live oaks around a pool. They drop so much damn trash. Magnolias also suck. All three of these are popular landscape selections in Texas. Good news is in Houston you can do more tropical stuff that won't drop anything.

    The "had to get his stomach pumped" rumor when I was a kid was always about Rod Stewart. Hilarious that the next generation picked it back up and ran with NKOTB.

    Depression

    Just going to work and then coming home to hang out, play video games, and work in the garden the past week has been great. Acting much more like my old self. Looking forward to stringing a few more of these weeks together, but there is a major bump in the road coming up. The wifey is going out...

    When we shot the gunite we had to strip the forms on the sides so we could shoot a ledge on the outside for the rock veneer. Stripping forms when you have a 6' wall of fresh gunite is something that doesn't happen very often. Pretty hair raising. If the wall were to collapse....big fucking oops...

    Been building a higher level difficulty one. It's on the side of a very steep hill on a lake shore. Pool is 32' long and had 6' of drop from one end to the other. Compounded by the fact the hill is solid rock so we had to use the hammer. Forms on the back side are 6' out of the ground.

    Have you seen those pre-fabbed fiberglass pool shells that are advertised and displayed all over our highways from one end of the state to the next? Forget the name, but there's one right off I-35 just south of the metroplex that I see everytime I drive south. These shipping container things...

    Depression

    That's great advice, I appreciate it. Now that it's been a few days I can start to feel the burning desire to take action wearing off. It's a pattern that I've repeated over the years. It's not like I'm thinking about drinking but I do start thinking I can just power through it on my own. But...

    The Fishing Thread

    I've caught a 30-40 lb gator gar on 20lb mono before and it was impossible to get him on onshore from all the thrashing. He eventually cut my line with his scales. What people don't realize until they actually handle one are that they are covered in fucking ginormous dinosaur scales that are...

    Depression

    My problem stems from the fact that I've always associated drinking with fun so no drinking=no fun. I do have lots of hobbies and I've always combined them with drinking - golf, fishing, working around the house, all stuff I enjoy doing but enjoy even more with a beer in my hand. its never been...

    Depression

    I'm really struggling with alcoholism. Fucked up really bad last night but somehow I'm alive and not sitting in jail. I deserve worse and the people in my life deserve better. I definitely need help but I don't know where to start.

    What do you love to do inside when the weather sucks?

    After a brutal, hot, dry as fuck 5 month summer we are finally getting some rain and I'm getting out in it. Love it. If not, then I'm jerking off, taking a nap, or playing Xbox. Really need to be installing some ceiling fans around the house and painting though. Meh

    Installed gutters on the house this summer. Still need to put rain barrels on the downspouts for watering the garden. Debating going DIY or just buying the ready made shits.

    People are still financing. It slowed down quite a bit after the initial shock but now that people are getting used to the higher interest rates and realize they aren't coming back down any time soon things are picking back up. We had a pretty brutal summer this year in n. Texas so that helped too.

    Correction: grey, white, and buff which is slightly more tan than the white. It goes well with all the Leuders we do. Also those bricks were done at the homeowners request to match the fireplace in their living room. Same brick, same mortar. Homeowner supplied his own appliances so that fridge...
