    Yeah the chimney and the electric starter make it more mindless but it still takes a while for the coals to get white and then you dump them in the grill and wait again for the grill to heat up, then you have to clean out the ashes afterwards. If you just grill on Sunday and you really just...

    Charcoal gives your food a flavor that you can't get any other way. The 45 minutes it takes to get the grill hot is usually a deal breaker for me though. I haven't used my charcoal grill in years.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Bodybuilding wasn't really a thing until the 60's. The real spartacus was probably more likely to look like Kirk than like the steroid monsters in Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

    I gave up on my HTPC years ago sadly. Too easy to just buy a $25 bluray player and switch inputs.

    My dog won't listen to kids. Even when adults who aren't me tell him to do something in my presence he just looks at me like "is this really what I'm supposed to do?".

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The guy loved drafting players with bad knees. Had an ACL surgery your last season in college? Welcome to the 49ers! The one thing that gives me hope that these 49ers aren't going to fall apart like the 2012 ones did was that at the time we didn't know that Harbaugh and Baalke hated each...

    Car ?'s

    I'm pretty sure "Honda parts" and "expensive" are pretty much the same word. I ordered a windshield wiper arm for my girlfriend's car and shit my pants when it was $65 online and then I called up the dealership and they wanted $90 for it so I went back to the internet.

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    It's disappointing as a niner fan but hell, we were 4-12 last year 6-10 the year before and 2-14 the year before that. This season was more fun than we've had since 2012. I'm trying to tell myself it's a young team with a great coach and they'll be back but all I can hear is myself saying the...

    Bark is overrated IMO. It's nice but when I haven't wrapped it the thin part of the flat is pretty much inedible. I made one for our superbowl party too. I have had so many things from my smoker screw me over and wind up being 2 hours from done when it's time to eat that I was determined to...

    NFL 2019 Season: It's Tricky!

    I think the niners are clearly the more complete team. They will be able to move the ball on the KC defense, whether it's on the ground or through the air. KC will need some quick points through either explosive plays or turnovers. If the niners get up a couple of scores and start grinding the...

    These "environmental groups" are pure scum. The same sorts of people are constantly suing agricultural people as well. The group is usually made up of about 5 people, 4 lawyers and a secretary, and they make their living trumping up lawsuits against whatever industry they can get money out of...

    Home Improvement

    For $7K how much do you think you can really raise the rent? $100? $150? You're talking about 4-5 years to break even. Most renters don't stay that long and chances are some of it's going to need replacement when they move out. I'm not up on this kind of stuff but I'd be surprised if you...

    Yeah I wouldn't upgrade anything. Stuff like granite countertops is expensive and probably isn't going to raise the rent enough to justify the expense, plus if your renter cracks it then you're even deeper in the hole. White cabinets as you said are just going to show dirt and you definitely...

    One thing I was disappointed to see was no apple pie on KFC's menu anymore? For a long time they were the only ones that had the balls to keep deep frying their pies and they were amazing. If those are gone and the taco Bell Carmel apple empanada is too then it's dark times in the fast food...

    A guy I know who is a police officer got called in to a house where a woman had died and decomposed. When they broke the door in, the dog was carrying her head in his mouth. They put the dog out in the yard and then a few minutes later came out to see the next door neighbor petting the dog...

    She should just give them the insurance check for the helicopter. I'm guessing she's not going to be too anxious to get another one of those right away.

    Sure, nothing wrong with keeping a couple bags of kibble on hand for a non-total disaster. If it's you or the dog though, sorry dog. The cat on the other hand, I'll kill my cat just because I heard a gunshot on the off chance that it's the apocalypse and not just my neighbor sighting in his...

    Did you read that Bosnian story? When women are selling themselves for a can of spam that dog's not going to do anything for you that's worth what it's going to eat. I love dogs and I use them for working cattle but they don't do anything I couldn't do another way.

    Sad to say but in a real survival situation you're not going to feed your dog. Not for long anyway. A lot of tribal people kept dogs but when times got tough the dogs usually got eaten.

    The new A&W + KFC in my town finally opened. Got some nashville hot strips and a papa burger. The strips were good, but I sort of wish I had just gotten some fried chicken. The papa burger didn't impress me. The patties were amazingly thin. The lettuce and onions gave it a nice crunch but I...

    More of a buffalo guy with chicken strips/nuggets but I might mix in some BBQ or sweet and sour. Every time someone tells me about some amazing new specialty burger at at fast food joint though, I always find that it's drenched in sugar and I don't like it. The worst ever was the brown sugar...

    There's nothing offensive about these but nothing good either. Not much flavor, mostly just a conveyance for dipping sauce. 4/10 I don't want to say that these are good, but they beat the hell out of the tgi Fridays ones. The breading isn't quite as good as the others, but the cheese...

    I think it's kind of interesting to think about how people react to strangers dying.

    Ok. I think you misunderstand what "carbon steel" means. Carbon steel just means it's not stainless. To be considered "stainless steel" it has to be at least 11% chromium. Stainless vs. carbon steel has nothing to do with how hard it is, only how likely it will be to stain or corrode. The...
