If I wanted a cheap gas grill I'd buy a used Weber.

Not to shit on your math, but beauty pageants aren't won by the most attractive person in the country, but the most attractive person who entered the beauty pageant. Since only a psychopath would put their daughter in a beauty pageant, you have to adjust for the percentage of people in Denmark...

Or you could just, not eat McDonald's. The only reason to ever eat there is convenience and price and the price part is pretty much gone even without the delivery fee. I live far enough away from McDonald's that no one would even consider delivering it to me, but it would never even occur to...

The high end phones are getting harder and harder to justify. I just got my mom a new phone because she lost her motorola that cost $249 new 5 years ago. It was having a few issues but still working fine. The new Motorola I got her has face ID, 4 cameras, etc and 2 day battery life and it...

They mention that in the video. The stores used to price their core menu items lower but then they could up sell people on ice cream or shakes that have a higher margin. With delivery there's none of that and the delivery companies won't let them charge lower prices for in-store customers than...

He's right. Nobody is forcing us to buy this shit. It does sound like the fast food places have priced themselves out of the market when the economy is down though.

I'm 6' 2" and had a threesome with Daidraco and that other dude's wife.

Wood fences are nice looking but yeah if you want it to last, steel is the way to go. I have a neighbor who built a set of drill stem corrals back in the 80's and every post just like it was when he built it. Wood corrals built then have probably been replaced 2-3 times by now or at least a...

I always shake my head when a man or a woman talks about their ex as if he or she is a purely evil demon or something. I'm like "so why did you choose to move a demon into your house for many years and have multiple children with them?" What does that say about you? However bad they are, you...

Wifi calling on TMobile is fantastic. I may finally get rid of my landline, or at least the long distance on it.

Criminy. $90M to play 1 year of football. I can see why some guys lose their edge after they get that big contract. I probably would too.

Zero superbowl winning quarterbacks in that list and only 3 that have even appeared in one.

My policy on window air conditioners is that you always buy the biggest one that will fit in the window.

Glad they got it done before training camp. I hope he makes the guys above him look overpriced.

Domesticated ducks don't leave. They just cruise around the yard and eat bugs. They like to have some water to stomp around in but be advised they will make whatever water you provide for them absolutely filthy so you want it to be something small enough to dump out and refill regularly. I've...

Everyone is an expert on everything they know nothing about. I remember when they were building a new intersection with roundabouts in town there was a dude who was a diesel mechanic who "knew" that the roundabout was going to cause tons of accidents and he was super butt hurt because he went...

My girlfriend used to drive a CR-V. It was an old one (2003 I think) but I'm 6' 2" which isn't inordinately tall in my mind and sitting in that car was absolute torture. I refused to drive it if there was any other option because my head touched the ceiling and it really wasn't easy to work...

My guy is just a 1-man operation but there's a month wait to get a car into him most of the time so he's not hurting for business. It would be more affordable for a bigger shop but it's still crazy to have software subscriptions and special tools for a dozen different car brands.

The special tools are not just for the engine and transmission. My mechanic tried to replace a front axle in my 2013 F-350 and got it all torn apart only to realize that he needed a special Ford tool that he didn't have so he had to put it all back together and I had to take it to the...

It's amazing that there's still any independent mechanics around. Every brand of car has all kinds of proprietary software, special tools, etc that you need to work on them and the software is all expensive subscriptions and you can't afford to subscribe to all of them and the tools are...

Yeah, don't make zero baggage your goal, that person doesn't exist and if they did, they probably wouldn't want to deal with you. You just have to find someone whose bullshit you can put up with and they can put up with yours.

Fix it. Even if you still want to get another car, you can increase the value of it by 4-6k by spending $3k or you can keep driving it knowing it has a brand new transmission and the engine will probably last at least another 100k if not 200k. It's almost never a smart idea to sell a car...

This guy made something sort of useful on his 3d printer.

I don't think anyone really knows why it works. It just does apparently.

As someone who had rotator cuff surgery 2.5 years ago, I can confirm that that's a hard one to come back from. I did PT twice a week for a year and even now I can't throw a ball very well although it continues to improve. I know that he would have better trainers and more time to train back...

When I was a kid, I always imagined that married couples completely understood each other. Like you could finish each other's sentences you knew what they would think about everything. It comes as a bit of a surprise to me that even after being with people day after day for years you can still...

Don't look for rationale. There's just a lot of people here that are so obsessed with their political hobby horses that the several hundred post per day politics thread and several other massive thread dedicated to the topic aren't enough for them so they feel the need to shit up every other...

Good Lord you guys are so fucking boring.

Don't apologize for this. This stuff is the best thing in the board. A welcome respite from the thousands of posts from the many blowhards saying the same thing about politics or video games over and over.

Some food for thought on the goat topic.

I think this stuff is so cool but I just can't find a use for it. When I was an engineer it was awesome for rapid prototypes for fit checks and such, but as a personal device the only use for it I see is people spending $3000 and many hours to make $7 worth of plastic toys.

A couple of them hang out here... https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/on-becoming-an-electrician.12272/

I don't know what the effect would be on your car but I don't think you can build a 200 lb trailer that would be legal. Home Depot usually has a full sized pickup truck that you can rent for like $20 an hour. You can rent something like that a hell of a lot of times for the price of even the...

Don't be ridiculous. Goats have more personality, but sheep are way better at sex.

The tests in the article were done on a grill, but not directly over the heat. I think it would be pretty difficult to roast a chicken evenly over direct heat. In any case, you can certainly get a lot more flavor on your chicken by putting herbs and spices directly on it than subjecting it to an...

You clearly didn't read the article. You're wrong. The beer doesn't get hot enough to actually evaporate, and even if it did, it doesn't go into the chicken. I'm sure your chickens turn out fine, but it's not because of the beer can. He measured everything and spells it out in the article...

Meathead has a whole manifesto on why beer can chicken is a terrible idea. https://amazingribs.com/bbq-techniques-and-science/beer-can-chicken/ Also soaking in the marinade for 24 hours does nothing.

And none of the people crying about the training scene in episode 1 seemed to notice that in episode 2 when she was in a real fight she got her ass kicked by a dude in 3 seconds without landing a single punch or even really resisting despite the fact that she had a gun.
