    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    In Florida, you go 15 feet down pretty much anywhere and hit water. It's not like that everywhere. Around here you might have to go to 1000 feet if you want good water, which costs like $100k, or you might hit a solid slab of rock and just be shit out of luck. In the county southeast of...

    Also you should put a pressure plate so if you completely miss the target a foot pops out of the bench and kicks you in the balls.

    Kind of hard to visualize but I think I'd dump some gravel or road base or something in there to get your wood out of the mud so it doesn't just rot or sink.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't care how good the customer service is or how hard Boozecube's boner gets looking at the blond teenagers working there. Chik-Fil-A will always be a bottom of the barrel fast food place for one reason. No beef.

    I'd probably still replace the breaker. Even if it didn't fail to trip which it sounds like it did, just the fact that it got hot would make me nervous.

    Clarkson's Farm

    I binged this recently and while some of the stuff was pretty silly, I really felt like it captured the joys and agonies of agricultural life. The anxiety of not enough or too much rain, the not making any money, the sadness of some animals dying and others that you would like to kill, etc...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    If $40M is "mediocre starting quarterback on a new contract" money I'd hate to think what Rodgers or Brady might get for a 1 year deal somewhere. Seems like the bidding starts at $50M.

    2.5 kW should blow a 20 amp breaker. I think I would start by swapping out the breaker. If that doesn't help then shut off the power and open up the outlets and the light fixture and look for burned up or frayed wires or anything else that looks out of order. Definitely keep that breaker...

    Yeah solar is a much better option in some places than others. I would at least want the option to connect to the grid.

    Find out what it's going to cost to drill a well. If you can hit good water at 100 feet it's no big deal. If you have to go to 1000 feet it is a big deal. https://www3.twdb.texas.gov/apps/WaterDataInteractive/GroundwaterDataViewer/?map=sdr Put the address in here and see what the neighbor's...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Lynyrd Skynyrd died in 1977. One of the great bands though, especially for how long they were around. Never mind the cover band that has been cashing in for the last 30 years.

    This part bothered me too. The whole David character was just not believable. Was that how it went down in the game? That was the first time I have thought the show was written like a video game in a bad way.

    Google Photos already does this. They actually put a row of faces that show up in your photos a lot and you can tap on them to see all the pictures of that person that you have.

    That's just going to be the price for a starting quarterback. Don't want to pay it you better hope you can draft someone who can start right away.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I had them once at a french restaurant. Wasn't especially impressed but maybe they would be better fried with buffalo sauce. On the other hand I don't think there's any substitute for chicken skin on wings. Probably ought to just grind those frogs up and feed them to dogs and cats. Frog...

    Just keep in mind that no matter what he pays you, he's still making money from your labor. The place you really want to be is to have other people doing the work and you reaping the profits.

    You can tell that a FoH TV thread is just about finished when someone accuses the female character of being a "Mary Sue" and then someone else tells them that they don't know what that means. EDIT: 13000th post!

    I was watching that game with a bunch of Seahawks fans. Of course when it's Seahawks vs. Patriots the best possible outcome would be a nuclear bomb hitting the stadium but when they ran that play I stood up and yelled "Interception!" but I was apparently the only one that saw it real time...

    You can't really overestimate how reliant we are on extremely complex systems for almost everything we do. With no trucks, cities would run out of food in a matter of days. You saw how much Covid disrupted the supply chains and we're still feeling the aftereffects years later and that was just...

    This is a good point. Moonshine would be very valuable, both for fuel as well as for drinking and you can make a wood fired still easily. Sugar might be hard to find after 20 years but if you live near a sugar beet plant you might be able to get a large amount or maybe you could even figure...

    There's only like 20 real native actors so when TV shows try to use actual natives you see the same people. Last year I binged "Longmire", "Dark Winds", and "Reservation Dogs" and it's pretty hilarious seeing the same actors in all three shows.

    Bullshit. I remember people asking my in my senior year as an electrical engineer if I could repair TVs and VCRs or something like that. I didn't know the first thing about TVs or VCRs and neither does anyone else coming out of engineering school. You know how to do basic math, you...

    I hate to say it, but with Purdy's surgery postponed I don't hate the idea of Lance getting the reps for the off season and starting the first 4-6 games next year just to get a better idea of what he is and then if he's stinking up the joint Purdy can come back and take over. I think it's clear...

    Which wing is superior?

    I used to be all about the drumettes but in recent years I've come to appreciate the flats. Maybe not quite as much meat as the drumette, but they're easier to eat and get the bones out and not as much gristle. Also more skin which is a good thing if your wings are cooked correctly. Either...

    That's the point though. "someone" didn't figure it out. Thousands of people figured out thousands of parts of it. If you've been to college you know that you don't know how to do anything when you get out. All you have is some background information that will make you easier to train once...
