    Maybe just get him 2 bottles of Gentleman Jack. If you buy him a $100 bottle of single malt scotch he probably won't even like it.

    Do you know first hand anyone who has been proven to test positive for Covid-19?

    That sounds reasonable, but I'm going to need a simple minded answer so I can declare that I know what's right and fight the bad stupid people who chose the opposite side! Acknowledging that issues are complex and that you don't don't have all the answers will get you nowhere on the internet.

    I like the stainless ones personally. They are a bit more expensive than the copper rings but the tool is cheaper. I've read that the stainless clamps are stronger in the event of freezing. They are also easier to put on in tight quarters and easier to remove. Get a crimp tool that can also...

    Maybe check on the roof and see if a bird made a nest on one of your vents or something. If it's really the water then the water heater sounds like the most likely culprit but I've never had anything like that happen.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It's not even like they just rolled up to the party wearing masks and robbed the place, it was a party where they were there and people knew them. They found out that they weren't smart enough to be in a poker game with people who actually know how to play and then proved that they were not...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I built a swingset for my nephew out of oilfield pipe. It was sitting on a hillside so I made the downhill legs longer to level it up. Doesn't sound that hard but between the triangles and the different lengths I fucking broke my brain trying to figure it out. Geometry class was a long time...

    Survivor

    That's sort of a cool idea but they would have to make the episodes all 2 hours long I think. I wondered what Sarah's husband thought of Tony trying to kiss her on the mouth multiple times after the fire challenge. She was dodging them but the whole thing was a little weird. I don't think...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I was pretty surprised how different it was watching John Oliver with no crowd. The jokes seem a lot less funny without the audience laughing at the right time. I actually don't think it's worth watching without the crowd which is a weird thing to say.

    Jeff said something about how he only calls men by their last names (Cochrane, Penner, etc.) so Sarah wanted to join the club.

    Also, how in the hell does anyone go on survivor without mastering those magnesium fire starters? If I found out I was going on the show I would be lighting 10 fires a day with it until I left and obviously there's time to practice on the island as well. This season it wasn't too bad but...

    Nobody dragged Michelle to the end with the possible exception of Natalie in the fire making challenge. She obviously didn't deserve to win but the dominant alliance tried very hard to get her out and failed and she deserves credit for that. I was pretty sure that the fire competition was for...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Carbon steel pans are great for sauteing, but to sear steaks you want cast iron. You want the bulk to hold heat and transfer it to your meat quickly. Also, once you get the hang of cooking your steaks in cast iron, you don't really need the sous vide either. If you're getting a torch, get the...

    I didn't explain it very well. It's a fairly small U-shaped kitchen with the stove at the end so there are two L-shaped countertops on either side of the stove. The perpendicular parts are both less than 25" though, which is the width of the countertop so I can just cut two pieces 25" long and...

    Everyone I saw on YouTube doing miters was doing it with a $700 Festool track saw which I'm not going to buy. After I posted though, I realized that neither of my L sections are more than 25" wide so I can just cut two 25" long pieces and rip them to width and the planks will all run the same...

    I'm replacing the countertops in my house with butcher block. I decided to go with maple which I will stain dark brown in the bathrooms and American cherry in the kitchen which I'm just going to oil. I was very scared of cutting the sink holes because they were undermount so my cuts will be...

    I'm addicted to these. They are very hot and it's not really ramen since it's a stir fry noodle and not a soup. Really good though. For a more standard ramen, I like these, which you can also get at Walmart.

    Jesus, this discussion is shameful. Noodle, you're doing the right thing. If you buy your kids a playset and then you have to pay another man to assemble it your kids will never respect you. Even as adults, they might not remember why, but deep down they will just know that their father is not...

    There are definitely a lot of upkeep bills with a house that you have to take into consideration. That will be offset somewhat though by the tax breaks you will be getting for all the tax deductible interest you will be paying, especially at first. I'm not expert, but if you are in a...

    I haven't done clinical trials or anything, but I used to like jello cubes so I considered it a good thing. I think that was the idea was that it was a type of food that was easy on your stomach.

    Nick's season was the only one I've missed in like 10 years but it's hard for me to imagine him winning. He seemed like a chump to me this season. It's hard to imagine someone with such a lack of self awareness winning Survivor.

    I think Sprite killed 7-Up. My Mom never allowed us to drink soda growing up but she always had a 12-pack of 7-Up on hand in case anyone had an upset stomach because she thought it helped with that. It was the only upside to being sick.

    So the funeral is today. The kid was a pretty good bronc rider so all the rodeo people are showing up. It's being held at the rodeo arena which I thought would be helpful for social distancing but then I heard this morning that they think 500 people might show up AND they're serving food...

    What all did you get for $10k? I have a sediment filter, softener, iron filter, and RO system and it cost around $5K. My water measures about 45 grains per gallon. If you drip some water on the floor it will leave a white spot when it dries. The culligan guy said he had seen it as high as 75...

    Worst case with dry roast you can always dump some BBQ sauce on it and make sandwiches. The beef salad sounds like a good idea too.

    All I'm saying is that it's a real easy way to get around all the proprietary shit with apple and Google. You sort of answered my question though.
