They will kill a fly with a direct hit. Range is pretty limited though. You're not going to shoot them from across the room.A flyswatter is probably a better way to kill flies but not as fun.

Don't know what to expect from the Niners this year. If CMC and Aiyuk are healthy that will make a big difference. The defense was the real weakness last year though, especially the run defense. Should look totally different this year with Saleh back and basically a whole new d-line outside...

When I lived in Phoenix they would always say on the radio in the summer where the hottest place in the country was. Phoenix was it quite a bit, or Vegas, but once in a while it was Miami and I would always think it could be worse because I know it's humid there as well. It's no wonder the...

I put a 50/50 mix of coconut oil and beeswax on my butcher block countertops. I know mineral oil is safe and everything but the idea of petroleum products on the kitchen counter is just unappealing. People will tell you that the coconut oil will go rancid but I've been doing it for years and...

I wouldn't put a finish on a butcher block that you're going to put food on. Just wipe a little oil on it when it starts looking dry.

Yeah. I have both a chest freezer and an upright one in my garage and they both have their issues. You can get more stuff per square foot in the chest freezer, but if you actually fill it up, you can't get to the stuff on the bottom.

Same day in another FB group.... "Some scumbags stole my dog that I left tied up for 15 minutes while I took a dump in the woods!"

I never said anything negative about any kind of bread. I just related what my mom learned in her home ec classes and 4H education as a kid. Somebody must have pissed in Khane's Cheerios.

You gotta fill it all the way up so shit falls out every time you open the door to have the real upright freezer experience.

I don't know if that's old school, at least in the US. When my mom was learning to bake bread in the 50's and 60's, "good" bread was defined by having as little crust as possible and the smallest crumb you could achieve. They wanted it soft and uniform and perfect. The whiter the better. The...

I heard an interview with a guy that makes high end furniture and he said that when people ask him if they should get into woodworking he just tells them that about 90% of the time he spends on a piece of furniture is sanding.

They went hard. Cartman and Butters attempting suicide was a pretty blatant metaphor. They *just* signed a $1.5B deal with Paramount and the merger still isn't final and they did their absolute best to blow the whole thing up which is pretty baller. They were basically begging Trump to sue...

Yeah he's definitely not what he used to be on that front.

Yup. It's just a never ending struggle for money and power. We distill it down to left vs right or republican vs democrat to make it easier to think about but it's really more complicated, with the different sides changing places on different issues depending on which way the wind is blowing...

Yeah Deebo didn't do anything special there, the QB just dropped it right in the bucket. Deebo has never been some amazing receiver. What makes him special is what he does after he catches the ball.

Yeah, it's possible that Trump wanted him fired and the suits were like "sounds like a win/win to us". It's not like the show was good or popular.

From now on I'm just going to assume everyone that pops up in this thread must have known too much about Epstein.

I used to think I might be a libertarian but the more you get into it the more you realize that libertarians and Anarcho capitalists are just as much simple minded delusional utopians as socialists and communists. Read up on the gilded age when factories and mines were dumping industrial...

I've heard lots of people say that if you just show up you're above average.

My family watched "The Cosby Show" religiously and had VHS tapes full of recorded episodes. Despite that, when I try to remember any scenes or episodes, this is the only one that I can recall, from the fucking pilot of all things. The laugh track is out of control.

I live 50 miles out of town so the problem with getting tradespeople to come out here is much worse. We finally got a guy to do a remodel at my Mom's house but we had to wait a full year for him to get to us. Other people will just give us a ridiculous quote rather than saying they don't want...

Haven't had a double post in quite a while.

I don't know why you think it's weird to have raw steak, sausage, veggies, and eggs sitting on the griddle that is clearly not turned on while opening gifts on Christmas morning. Obviously it's making these people deliriously happy so maybe you should try it. Ever think about that?

One of my friend's kids went to school to be a lineman and he has a big hardon for climbing those towers but now he's working at Lowe's so I guess it's not working out for him. Wouldn't catch me doing that shit. The ones that work on the big power lines are always on the road and if you're a...

The corn farmers will not be happy about this if it happens. Also, Trump just put tariffs on Brazil which is where a lot of sugar cane comes from.

Maybe the Chinese version still has cocaine in it.

Football jokes aside, a 75" TV for under $500 just blows my mind. Our grandparents probably paid more than that for their first color TV back in the 50's and it was probably a 19".

I got pretty into it it back in the Armstrong days. It can be pretty entertaining if you are invested in a rider and understand the strategy and team dynamics. I actually took time off work to watch a stage a couple of times. Floyd Landis' breakaway that won him the tour in '06 was one of the...

I'm on board with pickle flavored chips and sunflower seeds but I draw the line at sweets. My sister in law brought pickle flavored jelly beans to Easter and they were horrendous.

"Gerald's Game" is basically just a story of sex gone wrong.

It wouldn't really be practical to design a house for 6 feet of water pushing on one side of it. Foundations are designed to hold the house up against gravity. If you're pushing it up or sideways, that's pretty unusual and not what the foundation is designed to deal with.

I think it's about time to shut down Comedy Central. South Park reruns are the only good thing on the channel these days aside from when John Stewart hosts the Daily Show.

I'm a pretty big fan of pickles but this seems like a bit much. Especially the drink.

I love my electric chainsaw too. I have 2 24" blade gas saws but if the little electric can handle the job that's what I am going to use. So light and quiet and it just works unlike the gas saws.

I started out with some black and decker stuff that I got as a gift but it was crap and quit working after a couple of years plus the lithium batteries were coming out so I did research and at the time decided that Makita were the best so I bought their starter kit. Now I probably have 20 tools...

Another good one is the giant candy bars they have now. They have the regular sized Snickers on the bottom shelf at the checkout and then one front and center that's basically 2 bars that are 80% as big as the regular one and it says "share size" or some shit. If you go to the candy aisle at...

Yeah I think you can do too much math with this stuff. When I lost the most weight (60ish pounds over the course of a year or so) I was cycling 60 miles a week or so and also lifting weights etc. I did pay attention to my diet but not that much. I wasn't counting calories or anything...

I can't remember where now, but I think I've heard a story of someone who was stranded in the ocean because their boat flipped over or something and a dolphin brought them a dead seal. Not really what they wanted at the time but it's the thought that counts.

People shit on Samsung appliances but I bought them because my brother liked his. His are now 15 years old and mine are 10 and they have both been completely trouble free as far as I know. The only problem with mine was when the filter got clogged and I learned you are supposed to clean it...

A real prepper would practice jerking it dry.
