    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Everywhere I go, men age 20-30 are fags or at best effeminate. There is nothing masculine about how they carry themselves, the clothes they wear, their voices, their mannerisms, their haircuts. It’s gross.

    Seabiscuit A really well-done feel-good movie. 10/10. Beautifully photographed, beautifully told and if you've got some good subwoofers, the sound of the horses' hooves as they race is tremendous.

    Have you looked into figuring out how to drain the place? Without seeing it, I would think someone with machine could build a crown down the middle of the range like you would do with a road, and then put gutters on both sides to carry away the water.

    We did this as kids in the first or second grade. Our teacher put the cream in a ball jar and we sat on the floor in a circle and took turns shaking the jar until it turned into butter. She spread it on saltines for us to eat.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    This is Idaho. Now it is legal to get a driver's license if you are a permanent resident of the state; that is, not a US citizen. That has been the case for years here. What is new is that you can now identify yourself as a citizen. Why is that? IDK, it just rubbed me the wrong way. There's a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Go to the DMV to renew my driver's license. The lady helping me, a sheriff's deputy, asks me if I want to designate on my new license that I am an American citizen. I asked her back, why would there be any question whether I was or not since to the best of my knowledge, only American citizens...

    I agree. It was fast, but it wasn't musical. As a violinist myself, I can tell you the hardest pieces to play are not always the fastest ones. Making music is more difficult than dazzling audiences with pyrotechnics. TL,DR start around the 8 min mark

    Online Backup

    My laptop is getting wonky. I'd like to back it up, preferably online so that when it fails to light, I can get a new one and download my stuff on to it. Anyone have any recommendations on whose services I should use? It's an HP running Windows.

    True Grit 10/10 I like westerns and this is a good 'un. Well acted, well written, well directed and photographed. Not overly dark, it has some lighter moments . I believe I will commence speaking as they did back then and will use no contractions in my speech

    What tickles your pickle

    My truck started to idle poorly. Every time the A/C compressor kicked in it would stumble almost to the point of dying. For 2 days, whenever I came to a stop I would shift into neutral, turn off the climate control and feather the gas pedal to keep it running. I'm thinking the worst because it...

    I was confused that the winning point was scored by the team hitting the ball 4 times. I thought 3 was the maximum allowed. A quick search and I learned that a block is not considered a hit. I learn so much coming here.

    I read ‘The Inferno’ in Italian in college. I was going to major in Chemistry, but I grew up with my grandmother who was fresh off the boat from Italy (so was my mom, for that matter) and so I grew up also speaking Italian. I figured I would take some Italian lit classes for some easy As. That...

    I would try a different saw. You've replaced the breakers, different circuits are affected and the only common denominator is the saw. It takes a pretty good meter to record instantaneous start-up draw. Most meters won't record that.
