    Is that supposed to be a serious company? If so it's pretty impressive that they actually got that far without realizing that they had no idea wtf they were doing.

    A lot of Wyoming is flat sagebrush prairie and the wind does blow down there. People think about Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons but a lot of Wyoming is pretty desolate. The wind is relentless in a fair amount of North Dakota as well.

    People have a thing about living in the mountains. They're willing to pay a lot of money and put up with a lot of people to be close to them.

    Yeah it's still pretty easy to live where there's no people here as long as you don't need to be surrounded by mountains. Starlink has removed the biggest drawback now too.

    Not most years. This area is pretty much a high desert. There are winters where we get snow in December and it lasts until March but that's usually 1 or 2 years out of 10. Most years we get a few inches and then we'll get a warm day and it will melt off and a good percentage of the winter...

    This probably isn't too impressive to midwest folks but we're not used to this kind of snow, certainly not in April. We're in the 18-24" forecast. I'm not sure whether to be happy about the moisture since we've been very worried about the continuing drought, or worried about the fact that...

    I heard a podcast about this and it turns out that the rotisserie chickens are a different breed of chicken than the frozen ones and usually weigh only 2-3 lbs where the frozen birds are usually around 5. Pretty sneaky.

    I have heard good things about the tub style ones. The Wiz bang kit is supposed to be good. We have this one... and it fucking sucks. We've tried to use it multiple times and always went back to hand plucking afterwards. I'm led to believe based on many YouTube videos that the tub style...

    Will Smith n Oscar Town

    Check out this fuckin' guy. Good looking A-list movie star, married to another one, winning Oscars, $350 Million in the bank and his wife is worth another $50M. The guy's life is fucking miserable. Pretty good example of how money and success != happiness.

    Smartphones

    I started using cases when I first got a phone with a glass back. Fucking thing is like trying to hold onto a fish. I'm used to them now and just get them out of habit but since my Pixel 5a doesn't have wireless charging and I added it on it's nice to have the case to hold that in place.

    There's an epoxy product called "Pond Shield" that people use to build plywood aquariums. Might be overkill for a lizard habitat but it would make it totally waterproof.

    I don't know if you're planning to seal the inside with silicone or some other kind of caulk but if you do make sure it's not the stuff for bathrooms or kitchens, just 100% silicone. The bathroom stuff has poison in it to kill mold/mildew but it can kill other things as well. A few people...

    I am being given a business

    You need to get a realistic picture of your direct costs (chemicals, wages, gas, etc), and overheads (depreciation on the truck/equipment, insurance, advertising, accountant fees, legal fees, etc). Overheads can really kill you and they are the reason people mistakenly set their prices too low...

    Good plan. The corn and bean rotation is slowly destroying your soil. Grazing it (if done correctly) will bring it back.

    That's the way Arby's is here. When McDonald's has 12 cars in their drive thru, Arby's will have 2. Anytime that it's not a rush of some sort you can go there and be the only one in the store. The funny thing is that the store is clean and the food is on point for what it is. Hard to see...

    In a show where everything is over the top, Beth is by far the most over the top character. She definitely strains credulity with me but you have to suspend disbelief in a lot of ways to enjoy this show.

    That's funny because I feel like there's nothing left of the old Hardees since Carl's Jr. took them over. Old school Hardee's had fried chicken and Arby's style roast beef sandwiches (with a tangy BBQ sauce that was better than Arby's sauce) among other things. They also had killer biscuits...

    DQ changed their burgers... Shrunk the patties and then put more of them on so now the 1/2 lb FlameThrower is now 3 1/6 lb patties instead of two 1/4 lb patties. Makes it harder to eat and brings no benefit. Made them worse IMO.

    It's unsatisfying when one team just scores quick in OT and the game is over. I don't know that all these changes actually make it better though. The ultimate example of this is the 2007 game on MNF where OT lasted all of 16 seconds.

    Some husbands don't put the whole family in danger of going to prison and/or being murdered by drug cartels without consulting their wives first. I doubt most wives would take that in stride and remain calm and supportive.

    I think they have to give Lance his shot whether he's ready or not. Also they haven't extended Deebo or Bosa yet and I'm guessing Jimmy's money is what they're planning to pay those guys or at least one of them. No reason to release him until the very last minute though. I don't know if...

    All this talk about Jimmy staying in SF is stupid. The most likely end to the situation now is that he will be released, but there's no reason to release him until the last minute and Shanahan and Lynch have to say that they're not going to release him in hopes someone might be willing to...

    When you say you've had tools for 10 years you kind of have to say how often you use them too. Anything will last 10 years if you only use it twice a year to change a tire on your kid's bike. Probably no reason to replace the sockets though (possible exception is if the shitty laser etched...
