Man, the Rams have no self control. I mean the year they went to the superbowl they could sort of be forgiven for being in "mortgage the future, win now" mode but now it's 3 years later and they're coming off a 9-7 season where they didn't make the playoffs and they have no money and no draft...

It would be possible but not a good idea IMO.

There were still invites required when I joined in September. The Beta didn't technically end until 2009. Google used to call everything beta forever.

My "welcome to Gmail" email is dated 9/5/2004. According to Google Gmail beta started 4/1/2004.

My brother flunked out of junior college (out of immaturity, not stupidity) and then went to tech school. Travelled some doing his apprenticeship and then finished it wiring houses for a non union shop. A few years in he joined IBEW and started doing industrial work instead of wiring houses...

If you're going to use the snake and auger do it before you dump the acid in. My mom had me come over and snake her drain once and neglected to mention that she had already dumped hydrochloric acid in there. Grats me on melted hands from touching the snake.

I don't doubt that there are kids that can benefit from it, and I am 100% on board that it's important that people don't lose touch with that stuff. I just think the idea of a 24 year old that's "educated" in philosophy is kind of a joke. I actually loved the half-assed literature and...

Being a speculative asset and being a currency are not compatible and never will be. Yes I know people speculate on real currencies, but it's real boring on any that are actually sound. That's only one of bitcoin's issues. That said, as someone who sometimes gets fucked by commodities traders...

I don't give a shit about the Chargers, but Rivers in a Colts uniform looks all kinds of wrong. I'm more offended by that than Brady in a Buc's uniform.

Makes sense. I think that's mostly what's in the 30 second cleaner. I paid $50 for 4 gallons of it on Amazon.

I'm planning on using this stuff on my decks. I haven't actually tried it yet but I will sometime this fall. I can't say from personal experience but there's a lot of good reviews on YouTube.

This isn't the fantasy football thread...

It's not murder unless she did it on purpose. Chances are she did just what he told her to. The guy was a junkie and although it's technically possible that he could have kicked it, death by overdose is the most likely outcome in the situation.

I don't know, Jerick McKinnon is healthy this year and Shanahan is apparently a big fan of him. I know he's more interested in his abilities in the passing game, but I'll be surprised if he's not in there a lot this season, pending injuries of course.

I'm glad to hear that. What kind of machines? I'm just disappointed because they talked like these would be in every home and now that they're fairly affordable I can't think of a single reason to buy one given that I'm not in need of a regular supply of homemade dice or plastic toys that look...

Man 10 years ago 3D printers were going to change the world and after all this time no one has really found a use for them except making prototypes and crappy plastic toys for 100x the price of one you could just buy on the internet.

I really think teaching humanities to 18 year olds is a waste of time. 18 year old kids are just not sophisticated enough to really "get" things like philosophy, literature, art, religion, psychology or even history really, and while it's valuable information for life, it doesn't teach you to...

I thought the same thing. They are dirty as hell but they don't look rotten from the pictures at least. Might be able to just clean and reseal it.

Yeah, it's not rocket science. All you need is a tape measure, a saw of some sort and an impact driver or two. If you have the old one to go off of then you don't even have to figure anything out, just copy the old one. YouTube has lots of advice I'm sure.

I'm sure HBO will shed many bitter tears over you.

Especially since one of them had to be Kittle and that was a 5 yard pass with Kittle rumbling for 30 more.

He had a great duel with George Kittle in week 9 last year but Kittle got the best of him eventually.

I almost always skip comedians but Dillon was great.

Sure, out of several thousand elections. It does mean more to vote in local elections than national ones, but it's still extremely rare that it would actually make a difference.

When? Not saying it couldn't happen but it's extremely unlikely even with just a few hundred people voting.

Voting matters. My vote doesn't. I freely admit that if everyone stopped voting, that would be a disaster. But me voting or not voting has zero effect on that. It's an odd thing to wrap your head around, because voting is important, just not a single person voting.

I don't know why exactly. It feels like I'm participating in something even though rationally I know it's not going to affect anything. If nothing else it's an excuse to take a half hour off and shoot the breeze with my neighbors that are working the polls.

Voting is a waste of time. "On a macro level" is nonsense because if thousands of people do the same thing as me, they would have done that anyway. I always vote but it's just because I like to. From the standpoint of an individual, voting is absolutely a waste of time and you should find...

Not watching a show that you would enjoy over politics is dumb. If you're that passionate about it, organize a boycott or something, but just you not watching it only hurts you because the people making the show aren't even going to notice.

I would definitely check it out. You said it just has a shallow well jet pump above the ground right? Those are like $150 and even if all you do with it is water the lawn it would be worth it to save money on municipal water. You should definitely have it tested before you drink much of it...

It's electric wires that are plastered onto the ceiling. I do think the liquid under the floor version is probably more efficient although you have to worry about leaks then. Nobody does the electric radiant heat anymore I think because electricity has gotten more expensive than it was in the...

I think projector's time has passed. Sure a 100" picture is cool but I've never seen one that looked very good and it seems like in a couple of years you will be able to get a 90" flat panel for under $1000.

It actually works really well but it's pretty expensive. There's a thermostat in every room and it stays nice and warm without the noise and dust from the forced air. People think that heat rises but it's actually hot air that rises. Heat radiates from the ceiling to the objects in the room...

Radiant heat in the ceiling and a wood stove.

How do you like the ductless? Do you mean a mini-split? I'm thinking about doing that in my house since there's no ducts. Right now I just have a window unit and you don't need a whole lot of ac in Montana but after it being in the 90s for the last 10 days or so I could wish for more than the...

I don't know what is in that nacho cheese sauce but if it's significantly less expensive than refried beans I find that concerning.

What in the fuck are you even talking about? Justice isn't complicated, implementation is. Is it your opinion that if someone can get away with a crime, then justice has been done? This nonsense about pizza is just words that don't apply to what I'm talking about. Justice means finding the...

Someone being punished for a crime that they committed is justice, regardless of how it came to happen. A guilty person going free for lack of evidence is not justice, it's just what we have to accept in our imperfect system because the alternative is worse. If you disagree with that then I...

i don't understand why you keep arguing with me. I mentioned your objections in both of my posts. I have said repeatedly that we can't accept that behavior even if there's technically a good reason for it. All I'm saying is that things aren't black and white in real life.

Nah, domestic ducks are just like chickens in that they will stay within a couple hundred yards of the house and go inside at night. Unless you have predators coming into your yard in broad daylight or the house won't keep predators out at night they should be fine. Not to say that weird stuff...
