    I'm digging Enshrouded, too, but holy hell does it run like dogshit. Needs serious optimization work.

    This? Despite there being a picture of leg mounting, my gut says this type of fastener wouldn't be robust enough enough applied this way. Does your table have aprons? I'd just use a more traditional diagonal bracket along the lines of this:

    I imagine he'd prefer to maximize his chances of winning the fight. As it stands he can fight again in a few weeks so it's not like the payday is lost in perpetuity.

    My grandmother lost her family farm in the Depression and was borderline homeless for a while. She was comfortably wealthy late in life and still carefully saved and reused Christmas wrapping paper. Those scars are so deep I even have some of them.

    Yeah, my mom died at 53 clipping coupons so that she could take that three-month, five-star European tour when she retired. Get your financial situation straight so that you wouldn't regret anything with a random shitty ending.

    Was he? He had surgery right afterwards to remove a bone chip in his elbow, but that's an easy recovery.

    Volk was definitely had the momentum and was winning by the end, though he clearly lost under the 10-point system. (That 49-46 was bullshit, though.) Islam was all banged up and Volk was barely scratched. Under Pride rules he'd have won.

    Hyped for this. I think Volk can push things enough to beat him this time.

    They're pop-up chinese companies that just fold and rebrand if anyone complains about anything.

    I use a Wahl Peanut. My wife hates daily sandpaper stubble but my beard is pathetic so I keep it long enough to be softer but short enough not to look like I'm trying too hard - #1 on the face about every 5 days. It's a small form factor so it works fine for other areas.

    I've had two meniscus repairs and four menisectomies. Happy to answer any questions if you have them.

    That number seems high by a factor of 5, if not 10. I think you're thinking of the total number of illegal immigrants living here, not the annual flow. Re-ruralization of the population is not happening. There's insufficient infrastructure, housing stock, anyone to build the housing, or...

    Yeah, let's blow up a quarter of our national wealth. What could go wrong? I understand that there is a problem with housing affordability (I just bought one myself earlier this year and it hurt), but completely ass-fucking everyone who currently owns real estate is not the answer. Fixing...

    I have a friend who is an orthopedic surgeon specializing in shoulder replacement. If that's really what Dillashaw got (and not some kind of exotic repair/reconstruction and he's using words sloppily) he'd be a fucking moron to try to fight again. Shoulder replacements are not remotely as good...

    You could try Kwikset hardware. You can re-key them in about 10 seconds as long as you have the current key and their little reset tool.

    Health Problems

    We've been told is this is treated as a contract dispute between the insurer and the in-network hospital (no balance billing). The insurance company, hospital, and surgeon have told us that our part is done. The letter the insurance company sent says clearly that the hospital is not allowed to...

    Health Problems

    Insurance is so fucked up. I just got a notice that they're trying to deny payment on the 18 hr inpatient stay for my wife's appendectomy. They say she should have been sent home despite her getting out of surgery at 9 pm and being on IV morphine until the next morning. We were home by noon as...

    What did you just read?

    I remember liking this a lot, though it was probably 20 years ago and I hardly remember anything. I'll have to re-read it sometime. My son is on a mysteries kick, and while he's reading middle school stuff it's given me the itch again.
