    No, my bad. I could have sworn I read you talking about some kind of patty mold thing. Ice cream scoops are useful multitaskers, no criticism there

    Didnt you say you have some kind of a gadget for forming ground beef into patties? No one is ever going to take away your position as king of the useless kitchen gadgets, dont worry

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    eh, maybe they just like it rough? thing is, the hens get into position at the drop of a hat. Some of our hens get into position if a person or dog walks too close. hows a rooster supposed to resist that?

    The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

    One of my favorite Roald Dahl stories. Sounds like they changed it slightly for the movie but not offensively so.

    I can barely even remember a time that attitude was prevalent on this board. For years its been all "eh its so convenient plus you get 50 cents off your mcdonalds order!!"

    Life, yea or nay

    Eh? I don't recall the Bible has much if anything to say on the question of whether souls even exist prior to conception, let alone any details about that existence.

    What tickles your pickle

    There are literally people selling 40-50 lb bales for $8-$10 per bale. Yeah, we can find round bales (~500-600 lb) in the $60-$80 range too. That level of greed is why I say, get fucked. We needed rain anyway!

    What tickles your pickle

    I love it when a seller's greed causes them to lose it all. Just hilarious. This year we ended up needing to buy hay (usually we are net producers but thats a story for the jimmy rustles thread). As a result I've been watching craigslist and my wife's been watching FB markets. Hay is a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    But why? What in the actual fuck? Do these people peel their oranges in the store too? What would possibly be the point?

    The suburbs are just cities with bigger lawns and less crime, but all the same fundamental problems as cities. What this country needs is for people to return to actual small towns, the normal units for human civilization.

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    I wonder if theres ever been a discussion you lasted longer than 2 responses before you turned it to shit. You made a non-partisan statement about peoples attitudes towards wealth. I responded, disagreeing, but again having not a goddam thing to do with partisan politics. But yeah, lets...

    I think pretty everyone should be paid quite a bit less, that may include me. The lifestyle creep in this country during my lifetime alone has been ridiculous and gross.

    This is the way. Bonus points that it pisses off and confuses NPCs so much. "But I don't get it, why wouldnt you want to use the app?"

    Marvel Universe stuff

    If you don't like Loki falling in love with himself and then betraying himself and in the process breaking the multiverse, I don't know why you watch comic book movies at all. That show was not just ok, it was very good. It was rewatchable good, first MCU thing since Endgame thats been rewatchable.

    Snow White (2024)

    I don't get this trend to not cast actual little people in the roles they were born to play. First Wonka now this. I mean, I guess its all part of the same thing as casting severely unattractive black chicks in roles intended for attractive white women. But this is just weird. Its like, this...

    Writers Guild Strike 2023

    Can AI actors stick to acting and refrain from expressing political opinions? Then they'll be better than human actors. Someday actors will be reminded that their job is literally to stand there looking the way the makeup artist made them look, saying words somebody else wrote, the way someone...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Archaeology is barely better than Ufology interms of making wildass speculations based on very little evidence. They find a sharp rock and all of a sudden think they know something about early cultures or people. Not just speculate or imagine, but "know". I'm not even skeptical about the...

    Wonka (2023)

    Watched that ridiculous trailer and it deserves a second post. Lets skip right over the obligatory magic black girl and just go right to the fact that they're casting full size people as Oompa Loompas, denying Little People the roles they were born for. That is some fucking appropriation right...

    Wonka (2023)

    Thing is, I think Chalamet would be great casting for a young version of Johhny Depp as Willy Wonka. The problem is that Johnny Depp Willy Wonka fucking sucked. A movie about young Gene Wilders Wonka might be fun though. Have him start all bright eyed and optimistic, and by the end hes the...

    Oh, I saw it. Its just that between his mention of burning eggs (I think that was meant as use up rather than burn, but still), and his mention of storebought motherfucking crust, I figured it was just someone trying to fuck with me. And I'm trying to respond less to deliberate provocations, no...

    Secret Invasion

    The "spy shit without superpowers" part has always been the most boring and pointless part of the MCU. Now they've got a whole show about it, neat. First MCU show my kids and I have started then lost interest partway through the first episode. Booooooring.

    I'd criticize you for "not messing with crust" except half the quiche fans in the trhead have been recommending storebought motherfucking crust. I'm having trouble finding the right words to express my contempt for people being intimidated by a cooking task that involves 2-3 ingredients and...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Actually this is the only reason I think the discovery of aliens would affect religion at all. Almost all sentient life we've ever discovered was religious. I'm pretty sure aliens would be too if they existed.

    when I met my wife she peeled potatoes using a paring knife. With the blade facing towards her hand. Cause thats how her mom did it. never mind the fact that when you peel potatoes like that, you lose literally 50% of the potato. Potatoes are cheap. My concern is fuck, I don't want my kids...
