    It's about as Mexican as apple pie but you have to admit they're pretty tasty.

    Even Walmart can make a better and cheaper sub than Subway. That is some sad but true shit.

    Do we need @Soygen to rule on whether lasagna with white sauce is actually lasagna and whether it's a better or worse offense than using cottage cheese in place of ricotta?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I was aware of ASoIaF for years and I refused to read it because I had already been burned by Wheel of Time and to a lesser extent The Dark Tower books. I made a rule then that I would not read any more series until they were finished. After S1 of the show came out, I broke my rule and read...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Me either. I don't know what fans are "obsessed" with this book but they should get a life. I don't know whether the way things turned out was his idea and now he's retconning to try to find a story the fans will like better or if he just knows one ending that will anger the fans and he's...

    That's some quality pederasty and some funky blues guitar for sure. I've always found this song pretty creepy but it offends Bruce lovers to say so....

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    If you've been around college kids lately you would know that males painting their fingernails is not at all unusual these days. Kids have to do something to freak their parents out and these kids' millennial parents are already covered with tattoos and piercings so the kids have to look for...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    As someone who's designed circuit boards to fly through the Van Allen belt, we don't have trouble getting through them today and they wouldn't have back then either. It's something you have to consider but it's not that difficult to deal with. Also the old, slow, large transistors they used...

    Clarkson's Farm

    It's because for a while in the 70's being a creepy pedophile was cool. I remember Adam Carolla and Dr. Drew did like a whole hour on creepy lyrics from music in the 70's.

    You mean reality TV isn't real? Next we'll hear that every dish on every menu from every restaurant on kitchen nightmares didn't actually make Gordon Ramsay want to puke. I didn't know we were getting more seasons of Clarkson's Farm. Looking forward to it.

    Most of the time it's not necessary but I pulled out the pressure washer last summer and it wouldn't start. Took the bowl off the carburetor and it was full of the nastiest yellow slime I've ever seen. Had to drain the tank and clean everything.

    Bandwagon's Drones Thread

    I'm no expert but I've been having fun with my Mini 3 Pro. It's so easy to fly I felt totally comfortable handing the controller to an 8 year old to play around with. The screen built into the controller is hugely better than dorking around with your phone.

    Yeah I've been watching this show and Tokyo Vice at the same time and I can't watch either if I'm even a little sleepy or I wind up looking away from the screen and missing something that someone said. Forget trying to watch either show with your phone in your hand, but that's actually a good...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    It's interesting seeing the location of ads when you're on satellite internet. For some reason your IP or whatever shows your location as where the signal comes back down to earth instead of where it actually originated from. For a long time all my podcast ads were for Chicago, which is 1000...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Something I didn't realize about butter is that if it's made with raw milk from a cow that's actually eating grass, it is bright yellow without adding any coloring. They only add annatto now to cover up the fact that the cows these days are not getting good nutrition and it shows in the...

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    I tried to find the article but couldn't. I'm not a martial arts fan or a kung Fu movie fan, so I don't have a dog in the fight between Chuck and Bruce, I was just repeating what I remembered reading somewhere.

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    Yeah, I saw someone ask Chuck Norris who would win in a fight between him and Bruce Lee and he tried to be polite but he basically said Bruce Lee was a movie actor and not a real martial arts expert. Norris was a legit martial arts champion before he got into the movies and he has (according...

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    It has nothing to do with whether it was a good movie or not. And there are thousands and thousands of old Martin guitars out there. They're not "priceless', you can buy one very easily. I don't think the music is going to die because that one got broke.

    So none of this has anything to do with the movie. Sounds like you just think Tarantino is a douche which isn't news.

    Same here. Especially if you use the drive-thru it's like they don't even know you're out there. I've sat in front of the drive-thru window for 20+ minutes when I was the only one out there and you can look right in the window and see them goofing off in there. All for the privilege of...

    My speakers are all Polk except for a Klipsch 12" subwoofer that I picked up on a black Friday deal a couple of years ago. I still have my old 8" Polk subwoofer sitting around. Would there be any reason to hook it up next to the 12" or maybe stick it somewhere else in the room? I hate...

    Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019)

    Someone should tell him that he doesn't need to live his life based on some retarded idea he told a reporter 30 years ago. Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood made great movies when they were old as dirt.

    I got mine in 2019. 7mm thick stuff from Lumber Liquidators. I had 2 border collies on it and I live in the country so mud and gravel are always getting tracked in. Coming up on 5 years ago now and even with some leaking issues in the laundry room I couldn't tell you anything that's wrong...

    FWIW I totally respect that. If you like real wood and want it in your house then by all means go for it.

    LVP in a decent brand is superior to real wood in every way. Don't listen to these old farts that just want to rationalize how much they spent on their floor. Tile is just a cold, hard surface to walk around on not to mention that if you drop a plate it's almost guaranteed to break and maybe...

    I've poured a few slabs. Biggest thing as has been mentioned is getting the ground compacted as well as possible. Never used a roller, just a rented plate compactor and/or jumping jack. You can probably drive your tractor over it a bit to help as well. If you don't get it compacted it will...

    Cheap Meals: Eating on a budget.

    Flat Iron steaks were only "discovered" in 1998. They come from a single muscle in the chuck that's surrounded by tougher cuts. They were rejected at first because they are kind of labor intensive for the packer, but around 2006 they started showing up a lot of places. I imagine people didn't...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Stihl actually makes a fuel injected saw (500i) but it's a $1600 beast with a 28" bar on it. Anything that's appropriate for back 40 use is going to be carbureted.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Can't go wrong with Stihl or Husqvarna. I have one of each with a 24" bar on both of them and I can tear some shit up but actually if it can get the job done, my favorite saw to use is my 14" Makita electric one. It's so light and quiet and you never have any trouble starting it, and you can...

    I tend to agree that so-called "serious audiophiles" are either nut jobs or people with more money than they know what to do with and shouldn't be taken too seriously. On the other hand, when they play the THX sound effect at the beginning of a movie and the room shakes from your big assed...

    One thing I can say from experience is that if you're upgrading over time, upgrade the center channel before or at the same time as your L and R speakers unless you like watching movies and having the sound effects and score drown out the dialog.
