    Sadly when you pick two it's like you're picking 2 guys to dunk a basketball and Spacex is Lebron James, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic are two 5' 3" pimply 14 year olds and NASA is a 600 lb bedridden guy with a plan for a complex hydraulic system to lift his bed up to the hoop which should be...

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    It really seems like the money is growing exponentially the last few years. Like 5 years ago 30Mil would have been a huge number for a QB, forget WR. With this kind of money floating around someone might actually top Curt Schilling putting $50 million of his own money into a doomed video game...

    Home Improvement

    Yeah my old house was wired that way so I couldn't use smart switches. Using the ground is kind of a hack but I imagine it works. You're putting a little bit of current on your ground so so you could get some ground loops but I doubt anything in the house is that finicky about ground...

    I don't understand. You're using the ground as a neutral for some kind of smart switch or something?

    The weird phrase idol was okay last season. I don't know if it will work again after the players have seen it before. It is getting complicated but I think they need to keep changing things because everyone has studied 40 seasons worth of Survivor now and this last round of twists where every...

    If Adams wanted to leave Rodgers that's pretty crazy in itself. As a WR it seems like for equal money you would want to stick with the elite QB who you already have chemistry with than move to fucking Las Vegas and hope Derek Carr can make you look good.

    I wonder if there was some kind of behind the scenes discussion with Rodger's contract. I mean it seems pretty obvious that Rodger's giant contract is probably the reason for this trade. It's possible Rodgers even knew that getting all that money would cost him Adams. EDIT: You guys are...

    I think you're right. I figured getting a 2nd rounder back that we gave for him a few years ago would have been a good deal but with his shoulder issues even that is probably overly optimistic. It does help that they were able to free up space with Amstead and Kittle though. Gives them a...

    It's lucky that he waits until 7:30 to crow although that might change in the summer. When I go over to my Mom's place in the middle of the night to check on our pregnant heifers just my headlights hitting the chicken house momentarily will sometimes wake up the roosters and get them crowing...

    We just butchered our Mangalitsa pigs and had them save all the fat so we need to have a lard experiment. I had a deep fryer and it was frustrating to me how small and inflexible it was. Now I just use my wok or a big pot on top of the stove and put a thermometer in there to watch the temp...

    I haven't seen a way to keep roosters quiet. We have some guineas too and I find them hilarious but they do make even more noise than the roosters. I doubt animal control will give a shit unless your neighbors complain so it sort of depends on how they feel about it.

    Hehe, even after Young retired and the 49ers were mediocre to bad for a decade there we could always still count on 4 wins from the Seahawks and Cardinals. Those were good times. Well actually they sucked but that part of them was good.

    My border collie used to howl every time he heard the guitar feedback at the beginning of "Lost Keys/Rosetta Stoned" by Tool. It was a sad day when he stopped doing it. Both my dogs will cock their heads and stare at it but they don't howl anymore.

    I had an English teacher in college that taught a film class and he was so sure that Titanic was going to be the biggest flop in history and went on and on about it. Wasn't the only thing that made him seem stupid. Despite my love for T2 and Aliens, I can't generate the slightest desire to...

    Mediocre quarterbacks are brutal. Better that they just burn out quickly than seem like they're "almost there" for 5 years. Anyway, someone trade a high pick for Jimmy Garoppolo.

    Traeger are the only ones I see around here. They go on sale at Ace Hardware 3 bags for $45 pretty often. If you have storage space or you're using it a lot I've seen places where you can buy a pallet for a very good price but being in the sticks the shipping costs killed it for me.

    It's not that you can't do things with a cordless drill, it's just so much more precise with a drill press. I do a lot of metal work more than wood and it's even more essential for that. If you do have a drill press, you can just make a little triangle to set your piece on and get the same...

    I refuse to drink hard seltzer because those along with all the fruity "summer shandy" shit is taking up 3/4 of the beer cooler in every supermarket so all there's room for aside from the Bud/Miller/Coors is like 1 brown ale, one stout, and then 72 fucking IPAs.
