I found a glue trap with a lamp cord going through it once, under the dead mouse. Was seriously tempted to just throw the whole lamp away to avoid dealing with that.

If this thread makes anything clear it's that Brad is immune to advice of all kinds. Might as well just sit back and watch the show.

It seems like females are less likely to jump to their full ability. I put my male border collie in my grandmother's back yard which has a solid wood 6 foot tall fence and 30 seconds later he was sitting on her front step wanting to come in. My female border collie has to be regularly reminded...

I've often thought that about online communities. People disappear from them all the time and we often don't know anything about them, including their names. I'm sure over the years at least a handful of folks have driven into a tree or in some other way died and we will never know whether...

The only innovation that dishwashers need at this point is to load/unload themselves. They will never need wifi. The only command anyone needs to give a dishwasher is "wash the dishes".

It's been really nice here too except for random tiny bad ass thunderstorms attacking out of nowhere. Here's one right before it hit me earlier this evening.

I wish all cheap TVs didn't have some kind of streaming stick built into them. My Amazon fire TV in my bedroom is like 3 years old and it still works fine but the fire stick that it's built around is now super fucking slow and half the apps crash on opening. I would just toss the fire stick...

The white sauce is okay, but it's not pizza. BBQ sauce pizza should be put directly in the trash.

Of course you should. I didn't say I am trying to hit anyone, but I still don't want to hear lectures from the guy on the death machine that I'm not concerned enough about his safety.

This might be a callous take but every time I hear motorcyclists complaining that car drivers need to watch out for them, I always think they are the ones that chose a mode of transportation where you're 30 times more likely to die than driving a car so if they can't be bothered to look out for...

Just set them at night when the chickens are in bed. It doesn't help with cats though, if you have barn cats or strays you will probably catch a lot of them.

I appreciate the idea of getting to use your tactical stuff, but a live trap with the leftover chicken parts might be more effective.

Free father's day shipping though.

You can't prove something doesn't exist. If someone is willing to believe without evidence then there's not much you can do to talk them out of it. The old saying goes something like "You can't reason someone out of a belief they were never reasoned into in the first place."

Looks like a large meteor.

I had an unhealthy relationship with Jack's Stack when I was going to KC for work regularly. If I wasn't traveling with a coworker I would go there every night and get burnt ends.

Cut it up into 2" cubes, season with salt and pepper, sear them in a hot cast iron pan, put them in a baking dish with some flavorful liquid and roast at 325 until it falls apart. All sorts of mexican sauces are good for this. Here's Robert Rodriguez making "Puerco Pibil" that was so good it...

Just say no to Dr. Pepper pulled pork. I like Dr. Pepper but that shit is vile.

I got one "red" channel and 4 "grey" ones. The red channel is the one I grew up watching, a weird amalgamation which showed CBS in prime time and then switched to NBC at 9PM for some reason. We could sometimes pick up a PBS channel when we were kids but it required physically turning the...

You guys are getting a taste of living in the West. We already had one dose of Canadian smoke back in May. It must be dry as hell up there. I don't think you could get a fire going here right now if your life depended on it.

Cut yourself a lot of slack. There's no wrong way to do this. Losing a partner is known to be one of the most stressful things a human being can experience and doing it while your children are small just makes it that much worse. In a way you're lucky that your kids need you, so you have a...

I use Podcast Addict as well, probably based on recommendations from here. I switched to it when Doggcatcher started getting buggy and I've been happy with it.

You shouldn't assume that an in ground pool will increase your home value. Not everyone wants a pool and I've heard in some areas it's actually a negative.

You don't have to do any wiring to switch from a regular breaker to a GFCI. Just pop the old breaker out of the panel and pop the new one in its place. It literally takes less than a minute.

Plus you can go to a public pool and swim laps for under $5 most places in a proper Olympic sized pool that someone else maintains. Even $250 a month for a fancy gym membership where they have a pool will save tons of money in the long run.

If you don't like maintaining a deck you will really hate having a pool.

I think I'd go with the big-ass deck vs. trying to bury an above ground pool. Sure that deck is going to be expensive, but it sounds like you could probably build 5 or 6 of these for the price of a super basic in-ground pool and if you get tired of this one you can just dismantle it and take it...

It could be useful in the event that the cellular and landlines and internet were all taken out somehow. Until then, it's basically just a worse version of the old white sausage party we call firesofheaven.org.

There was a guy that I knew that did this. They found a note in his pickup that said "You won't find me.", and he was correct, they never did as far as I know.

It only makes sense to standardize charging. Having 7 different chargers everywhere for all different kinds of cars is retarded. Looks like Tesla is winning the standard race and will probably get to charge everyone else to license their tech.

As someone who is about the age of the characters in the show, (I think the crash was supposed to be in '96. I graduated HS in '95) I love the way they are working in so much 90's music. "Lightning Crashes" by Live was stuck in my head for a week after I heard it in the show.

I wonder if he told the Raiders. The 49ers seemed pretty surprised when he had shoulder surgery last off season.

It would be interesting if it had a resurgence. They certainly made that a lot more likely by getting rid of the morse code requirements. My grandfather tried to get into ham radio when he retired but discovered that the tones were too high-pitched for him to hear so he was pretty much out of...

I got a technician license because I needed a radio for my senior project in college in 1998. Still have the license but haven't used it again. I used to listen to people talking on it at night sometimes but the conversations never really made me want to participate and then of course the...

The way to eat Popeyes is to put honey on your biscuit first thing and then just set it aside and eat your chicken and rice and beans. The honey will soak into the biscuit and the whole thing is fucking awesome for dessert.

I don't really know anything about this but there are dogs called cadaver dogs that are specifically used to find bodies, even underwater. Sniffing a cloth and tracking someone might be some super fancy bloodhound shit, but finding a dead body is very easy for dogs if they get anywhere close...
