Saw it today. I'm kind of a WW1 buff and I thought going in, a 99 minute film isn't going to work. I was wrong. That's why Peter Jackson gets the big bucks. It's not about the whole war. It's about the experience of a British infantry soldier and as he explains, that soldier could have been...

That's a pretty valuable pistol to be using as a hammer.

^This. Pretty normal.

^Thank you for rescuing that guy from those cruel little bowls they keep them in.

I've peed in a wetsuit.

I haven't looked in a while, but once upon a time they used to sell weighs to wrap around air line to help hold it down. I used to try to use objects like rocks or rocking sunken ships to hold airline. Suction cups work great for a while. Then invariably they get brittle and fail. They are my...

I had a hard disk fail a couple of years ago. It held the photos of a trip my family took to the British Isles for my daughter's HS graduation. There was a bunch of other stuff on it too, but those were really important and likely lost forever. I was especially bummed now because I got a new...

Did you take a finger census when he stopped?

Booby traps are a big enough deal around here that there was a story on the local radio station yesterday where the Chief of Police said please don't do it because you might be liable if someone gets hurt.

I think a chopsaw would be better for shelving or crown molding. Lots of cross cutting when doing those projects. That’s what chop saws do best.

I'll see that and raise you one.

Removing the texture is hard after it has been painted, which it most likely has. You can try applying more with a large 10" or greater knife in thin skim coats each one filling the valleys a little more each time. Stop when you get to a point you like. Use drywall mud (joint compound) and thin...

My plumbing is pex. But this is an issue with any kind of pipe material.

If the shower runs are not too long you might benefit by doing the sink(s). Hard to say. On the other hand, drywall is easy to repair. Cut your hole with an oscillating tool and the section will slip right back in. Just a little mud and paint and you're done. I also don't think going tankless...

I'm thinking it wouldn't work as well as it does on a trunk line system like in my house but it would work. You would be pumping hot water to the manifold and on to the fixture that had the valve. I don't think the individual long runs to other fixtures would benefit beyond having hot water in...

This is kind of a home improvement idea and a product review. The Master Bath is far away from the water heater in my house, so far that it takes almost 45 seconds to a minute to get hot water for a shower or a shave every morning. That's a lot of water going down the drain. So... I just...

I’ll admit our Nextdoor has ads for ADT or SimpliSafe on a rotation.

I'm ashamed to admit I didn't realize Bob Dole was still alive. That made me tear up a bit.

Mostly I'm paranoid. The house in ID is in a housing development in a fairly populated area. There is more crime here because there are more people here than in AZ, where I leave the door mostly unlocked when I'm there. I just want to make my house less attractive to assholes than my neighbors'...

This.

Just watched this again. Kind of a tradition for me and mine. Fuckin' John Candy never gets old.

Amazon deal of the Day Mr. Coffee Barrista 50% off. I know, not a lot of snob appeal, but it actually works really well.

The guy could play a lot of instruments well. RIP Roy.

She's 5' even. That cat's about the size of a small bobcat. He can walk up and casually look over the rim of a toilet.

Just a Domestic Short Hair. 17.8 lbs and not fat.

This is our new cat Percy. He was at the pound. He's a big fucker. I posted his pic in another thread so this is a cross post. I'll get a good pic of him when he settles in. We've only had him for about a month.

SimpliSafe does suggest different mounting positions for different size pets but I still don't trust them, the motion sensors, that is. Many moons ago I had an ADT system in a different house and the cats set it off a couple of times. I understand things have improved, but I'm installing a...

I'm evaluating a SimpliSafe system. The hardware seems first rate. The Ring system that I looked at compares with the older SimpliSafe Gen2 stuff. The newer SimpliSafe Gen3 seems pretty sophisticated. There are also all the different sensors like entry, motion, broken glass, water, fire, key fob...
