    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I don't exactly belong in this thread because farming isn't my hobby, but I do live in an agricultural community. I know everyone that lives within 20 miles of me and with a couple of exceptions they're all cattle ranchers, mostly multi-generational places. We do help each other too. If I...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Just a carport will make a big difference. It won't hurt it to sit outside really. I have a pole barn to park mine in but I have a lot of machinery to put in there. Even an open shed/lean to provides a lot of protection. I definitely wouldn't tarp the whole tractor every day though. My...

    Woodworking

    There used to be a really similar one in my neighborhood. Kept one guy busy for most of his life. Not sure what they did with it after he died but it's gone now.

    Swapping trailers wouldn't be difficult but why would they do it in the middle of a highway rather than pulling off where there wouldn't be random people just driving by asking if they need help? That's much easier to swallow than the idea that they sent a flannel shirt good old boy trucker out...

    The Fast Food Thread

    No fast food place has workers that are competent, reliable, and committed to quality. If they were like that they wouldn't be working in fast food.

    You can also most likely get "Kubota Orange" spray paint at the hardware store. I always keep a couple cans around if I have to weld something or take the paint off for some reason.

    Paint can be a mixed blessing. JD paints everything and then you get a shaft or something home and you have to spend an hour sanding the paint off to get a bearing on it.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    My girlfriend's family bought a 20 lb pre-seasoned prime rib for Christmas but none of them really knew what to do with it. I would not have chosen pre-seasoned but it wasn't my decision. I have never done one that big and there seemed to be some disagreement online about whether you estimate...

    Car ?'s

    Unfortunately pretty much all cars have all kinds of proprietary tools these days not to mention having to subscribe to the diagnostic scanners for different brands of cars. The day of the 1-man shops where they can fix any kind of car is pretty much over. My buddy who is a mechanic says he...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    CMC takes away one of the biggest traditional black advantages at RB. Whites still have no corners. Probably have to have some wide receivers play corner. Blacks have no kickers. McAfee says Polynesians count as white which would help.

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    This whole thing is going to turn into one big assed company just like when we had cable and then they will charge $150 a month and everything will have ads again just like when we had cable. The only difference will be that you won't be able to fast forward the ads anymore.

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    The kid is unreal. When he went down with that stinger I was just thinking "It's over". As much as I would love for CMC to get MVP, there's no question in my mind who the 49ers can't afford to lose and it's Purdy. People calling him Jimmy Garoppolo 2.0 obviously aren't watching the games...

    Jason Isbell was fired from the Drive By Truckers for that as well. Even in a wild, hard drinking band, some dudes manage to take it to another level.

    Why would you tattoo a dog to show it's neutered? I haven't had a biology class since high school but I can tell if a dog has balls or not.

    He's splitting it right on the ground. Most people set it on another log so it's not so awkward to hit. Also a pretty large percentage of your logs probably won't fit in the tire unless you have different sizes lying around for different logs.

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    It's been very crashy lately. Not as bad as the NFL app though. The game I watched Sunday crashed like 5 times and it doesn't remember where you were so you have to restart the game and then fast forward to where you left off. Also, the FFWD on it is janky as hell. Both Amazon and...

    It doesn't radiate. They are stupid for calling it a microwave bag because everyone is going to think it does. It's just made of material that heats up when current passes through it like any other heater.

    Car ?'s

    Yeah, they send them to everyone. There must be some kind of database with addresses of everyone who owns a car that they can buy because they know the make and year of your car but nothing else about you.

    Pretty sure the standard thing now is to make sure you have to subscribe to their streaming service for at least 3 months to watch the whole season. Of course you can just wait until the last episode comes out and binge it in a month if you don't mind seeing it later than everyone else.

    Job Hunting

    Unless he's working for the government. Those of us who have all know there are people in every department that do jack shit but sit in their office and surf the internet all day. Eventually people just figure out how to go around them and then they're really set. It's severely demotivating...

    I'm sure I had similar things. Sort of shows the fucked up incentives in education. Thinking about everyone cheating on college tests we were all there paying to be educated and then finding ways to not learn what we were there to learn because we just wanted the diploma and grades. Kids...

    You could write in BASIC on the TI's too. I had a little blackjack program but I was too lazy to figure out how to handle the aces so it just gave you a random number between 1 and 10 for your cards. Programming test answers into the calculators was big in college. I assumed the professors...

    I guess I missed out on the calculator team hehe. It was all about TI-81s in high school and then we got into the HPs in college which was a whole new world.

    My HP48G is still working I'm pretty sure. Nobody knows how to do reverse polish notation but once you get the hang of it you can't go back plus it has the added bonus that normies can't use your calculator.

    The rare occasion when I'm happy that the cowboys won. I don't like to complain about the refs, especially in a win, but whoever called back Wishnowski's once in a lifetime run over a weak ass low block can go suck a dick.

    Long distance is probably the #1 thing I remember my parents fighting about as a kid. My mom was a telephone addict and it really added up for a while there.

    Household Major Appliances

    I think both chest and upright freezers are available in either frost free or regular. If you don't want to defrost it once a year or so the ones with a fan will save that but dry it out in there leading to earlier freezer burn. I find the upright freezers easier to find stuff in but you can't...

    If you want to get an idea what it would cost to put in a well, look up the well registry for your state. Most states have a map with all the wells on it and you can click on a few in your area and see how deep people are going to get water. Here's the one for Kentucky...

    My bad. I was assuming you lived on the other property. Hauling water in isn't the best thing but it's not the end of the world. Sounds like you might be asking a lot of the mini-split to provide the only heat but you might want to keep the propane heater if it still works and get a new...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    What part of the country are you in? I'm assuming since all they had was a wall heater that it doesn't get too cold so the mini-split might be sufficient. I'm further assuming since there's a cistern that they didn't have a well and hauled in water? Is your current property on a well and if...

    The potato ole's are good for sure. The rest of it is okay but the prices are just out of hand. You used to be able to go there and have several options that were all under $2 and you could get a bag full of stuff for $8-10. Now it's double that. I have been to Del Taco and it's pretty...
