Find an American football team anywhere in the world that can even play competitively with any NFL team and then maybe you can contest the "World Champs" assertion.

There's a pretty good psychological literature backing up this statement. I always recommend this podcast to people and then they don't listen to it...

If you really need precision use super glue. If that's not strong enough then some sort of epoxy. There's a lot of good options. If you just have a small bead that sticks up in the air it will come off like your father in law said. If you put on so much that it loses its surface tension and...

Sadre is one of the more sensical posters we have. He does LARP from time to time, but IMO it's not hard to tell when that's going on. Certainly more interesting to read than the repetitive blowhardiness that is so popular around here these days.

This is true of a lot of crimes. I had a druggie cousin that got caught stealing like....so many times. It was probably his 25 or 30th time getting caught that he actually spent a month in jail. If you're not violent they really don't want to put you in jail.

I'm posting this to inspire you, not to shame you. 360 nuggets in an hour and 15 minutes.

A lot of people would say that if you're outlining your story then it's not an artistic pursuit. That's not to say that you can't go "I'm going to write this" and then write it and the result would have some value, and I'm sure a large percentage of genre books are produced this way, but that's...

I like Wentz. I kind of hope he winds up somewhere that can straighten out whatever apparent mental problems he's having because he was obviously very talented at one point and he's young enough that he could play for a long time if he can get his head straight.

King gets pigeonholed as a horror writer but he's pretty legit and he has some great books that aren't horror at all.

Looks like the "unlimited" plan throttles you after 35 gigs and doesn't let you watch video in hd. I don't know how that compares to the TMobile unlimited plan but the price is pretty compelling.

My grandfather used to tell a story of when he was in Air Force boot camp in San Antonio and it snowed. He said you could stand on any street corner and hear the cars smacking into each other every time the light changed.

Even in places that have winter every year the first day or two of icy roads is always a shit show. You kind of lose your muscle memory for it over the summer.

I know there's some good MVNOs on T-Mobile. I looked into google fi but it seems like it's only a good deal if you don't use much data.

I once jumped up and down on the end of a 6 foot cheater trying to get a lug nut loose on a truck until I actually sheared off a ¾" extension. Didn't budge the nut either. Had to go get the acetylene torch after that.

Maybe the tv show was exactly how he was planning on ending it so now he's shitting his pants trying to write an ending where Jon and Dany live happily ever after ruling the world and making beautiful babies together.

Also the jaws stay parallel unlike channel locks. Channel locks will damage the nut/bolt head. These will not. They're not for the same jobs.

Because a 1st and a 3rd didn't get it done presumably.

Speaking of nice tools, I recently became aware of these: They call it a "pliers wrench" and it's basically a replacement for a crescent wrench except that once you set the size, it actually stays that size unlike every crescent wrench I've ever owned so you don't have to keep adjusting it...

I haven't had much cell coverage at my house either but there is a new T-Mobile tower that was installed in my general area but hasn't been turned on yet that I think might be an option. Once I hear that it's activated (it was built like 9 months ago, I don't know what they're waiting for) I...

That's true. It's been a race to the bottom for all the power tools at least. You can still buy really nice hand tools from Germany and Japan if you're willing to pay for them but power tools are increasingly all crap with a few exceptions of really outrageously priced stuff like Festool.

It's our own fault. We buy based on price so the best way to increase your profits is to shave pennies off of it by continuously making every part of it just a little bit lighter and cheaper so we will buy things we don't need because they're cheap and we don't feel bad about replacing them...

I'm on Viasat, but I've had HughesNet in the past and my family uses it now. I would say it's slightly worse than ViaSat but in the same ballpark. I will say that both are much better than they were when I first started using satellite internet but they still leave a lot to be desired. How...

If you bought a new one it would be made in china and you'd have to replace it every 2 years.

I'm guessing they were being conservative about the bid because they couldn't come look at it and didn't know what they would run into. They also wanted to send two guys so there's 4 hours of whatever they bill their guys out at before they even start the job. I think there's a good chance...

When you take the filter off all the water in your pipes in the house will drain back out of the filter.

I can tell I'm getting old because whenever people mention actors and pop stars I have to google to see who they are.

Uber thinks you should have paid a plumber $1800 to put that in. You do need a valve on the other side of your filter though. My well pumps a ton of sand and would clog up the filter in a month so I swapped out my whole house filter for this one: I love it. I just go down there every...

Yeah, this guy is a perfectionist and I'm not. Probably the more likely scenario is that he'll be trying to make it perfect and I'll be trying to speed him up.

SN8 seemed like it almost successfully landed. This one wasn't even close.

Fortune has smiled upon me. Last night my sister texted and said that she and her husband are coming to visit for the weekend. Her husband just happens to be a plumber. He's going to bring some tools and fittings and we'll run the line on Saturday and hopefully have my new stove in place to...
