    RIP. Breeding father to daughter is not recommended although it certainly happens. It will probably be fine but I would consider it a "terminal cross" meaning that the offspring don't get to produce offspring. At the very least don't sell them as breeding stock to someone else. Worst...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    "surrounded by his family, friends, music, and dogs" I've always wondered if musicians listen to their own music. Imagine lying in bed listening to a recording of yourself singing "Cheeseburger in Paradise" as you die.

    Electricity is so cheap that most things you do to conserve it will never pay for themselves. People spend 10's of thousands of dollars on new windows because they're "more energy efficient" but they probably save you about $100/year or something. Just say you wanted new windows.

    I just hope it's not KC in the superbowl again but I don't really see any reason it wouldn't be. On the other hand, if the 49ers actually beat the Chiefs in the SB, that would be outstanding.

    I know people who actually like the cardboard cookies and not the filling. To be fair, the filling looks a lot like lard and probably melts like it as well. That said, I'm double stuf or better when I can get them. Kind of sucks that they are usually only available in "family size" so I...

    You are so determined to argue even though you can't do it without building straw men. I didn't say Kaepernick was the fastest QB ever, just that he was fast which he was. I also didn't say anyone would trade a franchise QB, just that's the only thing that would make sense from the 49ers side...

    Who would you trade him for? 2 first rounders that might not amount to anything? He's young, and the best in the league at maybe the 2nd most important position in football. Trading that away is stupid unless he just refuses to play for you which I don't think is the case here.

    A top tier QB is the only player it would make sense to trade Bosa for, and until Brock Purdy proves himself to not be Drew Brees 2.0 the 49ers aren't really looking for a QB. Probably just negotiating tactics but it is distressing that they would be resorting to that kind of shit this close...

    That '85 CJ7 probably didn't have a hard top or air conditioning or automatic transmission either. The $20k base model is a better comparison than the fully loaded model.

    It seems like a lot until you compare it with every other option for something similar. Polaris Rangers and John Deere Gators etc. can easily hit $35K fully loaded.

    UTV prices are totally out of hand, especially since the reliability is crap on all of them. They're really handy though. When ours are in the shop (which they are often) you should hear people crying about not being able to use them. I'm curious about the electric bikes too. I've had some...

    I just pay $10/month for NFL+ Premium which lets you stream the games in HD as soon as the game is over. I know not watching sports live is a deal breaker for some but I tend to be doing stuff on Sunday afternoon and DVR the games anyway so watching the game in the evening works fine for me...

    If you want a real basic jeep, the Mahindra Roxor is a budget friendly option with the significant downside of not being street legal. They are a pretty popular alternative to UTVs around here.

    There were running quarterbacks before (Steve Young was another one) but not the RPO. That was what was new. It's not like Kaep invented it, but he was very well suited for it and happened to enter the league in the short window between when offenses started to use it and when defenses...

    It wasn't that no one had seen it, but it was brand new between RG3, Russell Wilson, Kaep, and to a lesser extent Cam Newton. The RPO and all that. Defenses were like "WTF THE QB IS RUNNING AND HE'S FUCKING FAST". It took them about a year to figure out how to defend it and Kaep sucked...

    Maybe, but he's not like Kaepernick where he was doing something that nobody's ever seen before. All Kyle wants Purdy to do is read the field quickly and get the ball to the open man from the pocket. Not really something you're going to find some novel defense against.

    Yeah $34m is a pretty good consolation prize. Both 49ers kickers are hurt and the punter just missed an extra point. Maybe they should give Lance's money to Robbie Gould.

    It's not just the injuries but also the appearance of Brock Purdy. Nobody really could have predicted them getting a guy that was ready to play on day one from the bottom of the draft. No matter what Lance is, a guy that can play at a high level that doesn't need time to develop and is even...

    I'll be rooting for him. The failure in SF wasn't really his fault or that of the 49ers. It was just a lot of odd things that happened. That's not to say that he wouldn't have been a bust, it's totally possible that he could have been, but he never really got a chance because of many wacky...
