    I have a feeling Arians is just going to ask Tom if he's going to play, not tell him.

    It seems funny to me that we don't make more use of geothermal energy. I'm sure there are reasons it's difficult but it seems like an inexhaustible heat source right below our feet should be able to solve all of our energy problems.

    In any case, I'm happy to pay it to have actual broadband for the first time since I cancelled my Comcast and moved here 12½ years ago.

    He's too old and beat up to be able to run the way he did early in his career and he's not a good enough pocket passer to get by without the running. Also defenses have gotten better at defending running QBs as he's gotten worse at running.

    Sounds like typical city people moving to the country to be in nature and then spending thousands of dollars to make it look as much like a golf course as possible.

    100%. This is why we would be back to the stone age if there was ever a real population level disaster that destroyed everything. All this shit is so complicated and relies on so many people doing so many different jobs it's unbelievable that it all works as well as it does. People say...

    They have an hour meter. It's more relevant than mileage for a machine that doesn't just drive down the road.

    Really no reason not to. Tractors last forever if you take care of them. Old John Deere tractors like the 4020 (late 60s, early 70s) and the 4440 (late 70s, early 80s) still sell for as much or more than they did new and there are thousands of them still in use every day. I still have a 1976...

    I don't think there's "insanely good" salt. The differences in flavor have more to do with the size and shape of the grains than where it came from. All salt came from the ocean originally and the color differences have to do with minerals and impurities in it but when it comes down to it it's...

    BLM did a bunch of tree thinning with those grinding heads on excavators a few years back. Those things will turn a 20 foot tall pine into shrapnel in like 30 seconds.

    Yeah. Same as the F-35 and plenty of other defense contracts. It gets to be more about congressmen bringing home the bacon and feeding the military industrial complex to keep their lobbyists happy than actually producing shit. Could be that SpaceX's edge is that they're actually trying to do...

    Yeah, sharpening the chain is the worst part about running a chainsaw. Pretty much need to do it after every tank of gas and probably sooner if you stuck the tip in the dirt at any point.

    I've heard people say it's kind of a scam. Pay for good reviews and good placement and they keep wanting more money. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not worth it from the business side though. I have no personal experience with them good or bad.

    Yeah, if you want to keep internet discussion as dumb and useless as possible the way to do it is to find the dumbest, craziest person in a group you don't like and then go "See! This is what they're like!" over and over and over.

    A brand new saw that won't start is very unusual. Are you sure it doesn't have a fuel shutoff or something? Doubt it, mine doesn't, but maybe. I'd take it back to where you bought it and tell them WTF? Failing that, small engine troubleshooting is pretty straightforward. It needs 3 things...

    I went to grad school at Santa Clara University for a semester while living in Livermore (32 miles away). I had to leave home by 5:30 to get to my 7:30AM class. Some days I would get there at 6:15 and have an hour to kill. Other days I was late to class. This was maybe the biggest factor...
