    Dave Chappelle

    He's reached that Richard Pryor/George Carlin level where people act like everything he says is straight from the lips of God it's so amazing and profound, even if he's just crying about how he could be somewhat more rich and famous than he already is..

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I heard last week like $85M of the $198M salary cap was currently on IR for the 49ers. BTW I didn't post on the game last week but I want to say that god damn that Deebo Samuel is a stud. Love watching him play.

    Smokers / Grills

    No brine. According to meathead you can get pretty similar results by just salting the turkey a few hours ahead and I should have done that this year but I didn't. All I did was heavily salt and pepper both sides after spatchcocking and then rubbed half a stick of butter on it and threw it on...

    Smokers / Grills

    Our Thanksgiving plan for this year was to deep fry the turkey. My Mom had told me she had "plenty" of oil and I stupidly didn't question it. When I got to her house there were 3 gallons of peanut oil there. It takes at least 6 for the fryer we have and it's 11:00 and we're supposed to eat at...

    Fargo

    I think "shit" would be a pretty big overstatement. It's still Fargo in that there's lots of interesting characters, beautiful cinematography, and quirky, funny dialog. I think they just went too far with the "Look, we're so quirky" part of it and the weird, random stuff at the expense of a...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Power steering is one of those things that you don't know you need until you have it. We have several with it and the last one I bought I got a deal on because it was the previous years model and had no power steering. I didn't think I cared but I notice the lack of it pretty often and some of...

    I don't think I'm going to lose any sleep over Comedy Central, Netflix, or Dave Chappelle. I think they're all doing just fine. Especially compared to me.

    I've watch 24 episodes so far and it's very interesting. Thanks for posting. I'm not sure if I've got the stamina to go to the end and it looks like it's not finished yet, but I'm liking it so far.

    Then by definition, Kraft singles are not American Cheese. There is real American Cheese though. It's basically just mild cheddar with some sodium citrate in it to make it melt better.

    Woodworking

    You can never have too many clamps. I'm more of a metal guy than wood and it's the same there, clamps, clamps, clamps. My favorite are the ones that go on black pipe like the orange ones below. You can't possibly have too many of them. Harbor freight has them at a reasonable price. At...

    Woodworking

    If you've never done any woodworking I don't think I'd start with thousands of dollars worth of tools and custom kitchen cabinets. You will spend more money than just buying cabinets and if you haven't developed your skills they will look like shit when you're done. Start small both with tools...

    If you compare the food between Long John Silver's and Red Lobster, a lot of it is petty identical in quality, but it costs 4 times as much at Red Lobster.

    I've been complaining for years that there was no fast food chicken place in my town so I was pretty excited when KFC opened up like 6 months ago. I think I've only been there 4 times. I don't think it's bad, but it's not very compelling. I think their wings are pretty good and the chicken...

    Fair enough. He's also sort of the first one of those guys I remember. Some of Steve Young's crazy runs were while he was backing up Montana and I think by the time he was a starter he was already on the way to being a competent pocket passer. I wasn't watching football enough during Vick's...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It happens over and over. Put a super athlete at QB, they blow the league apart for a year, and then the defenses play them so they have to read the field and pass and most of them can't do it. Vick, Kapernick, RG3, and a ton of others. Even Cam to some extent although he had a couple good...

    Pouring concrete isn't rocket science, but it's not trivial either and fairly high consequence if you fuck it up and wind up having to jackhammer it out of there. That said, a small pad is definitely doable for a DIYer, especially if you are okay with things not being completely perfect. The...

    Spacex has such a huge advantage by having such a low cost to deploy the satellites it's hard to see how other projects can compete. I've heard some speculation that the starlink receiver is really expensive to build and even charging $500 for them to beta testers they are losing considerable...

    Okay, but there are thousands of lanes and they are all 50 miles wide. I see according to Wikipedia that it has actually happened 4 times, but the amount of objects and the amount of space seems to make it pretty unlikely. It's mostly that the consequence are high I suppose, especially since we...

    I'm just a dumb guy, but it doesn't seem like it should be that hard to avoid collisions in space. I mean Los Angeles is only 5000 square miles has 6.5 million cars that can only drive on like 10% of the land and only move in two dimensions and they seem to be able to avoid each other most of...

    Woodworking

    This is a project I did for my 3 year old nephew a few months back. I seriously underestimated the difficulty of making those angled mortise and tenon joints. A router wasn't really an option because of the angles so I made them with a chisel and had to make almost every piece more than once...

    I have a bathroom closet that needs a 15" or 16" door. The one I took out was a pre-hung door that matched all the other door in the house (shitty hollow core doors which is why I replaced them). I'm replacing all the doors with clear pine solid doors from Home Depot which I am staining myself...

    My Mom was worried to try a smartphone because she could barely text on her flip phone. I eventually convinced her that they are actually easier to use than a flip phone once you learn the basic interface and I stand by that, even for elderly people.

    I wonder too. Good Jimmy does exist and we saw him in the first half of the Eagles game this year until he sprained his ankle. Didn't see him before that though and we sure haven't seen him since but that could be chalked up to the ankle not being fully healed. With regard to the contract...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I'm already in BFE Montana and signed up for the beta but haven't gotten an invite. If it was reliable I would dump my current Viasat internet and my DirecTV and it would save me over $100 a month and dramatically improve my service. The only thing I would have to figure out is football.
