Usually we're not right. The worst thing you can do as an artist/writer is to try to give the audience what they want. Guaranteed shit if you do that. That's why network TV is such garbage. Written by committee, then put in front of test audiences and adjusted to what they like. It's not...

I know this is going to be pathetic compared to most people here, but Viasat recently launched a new satellite and it's been a pretty major improvement over what I had before. More importantly than the regular speed, it still generally hits around 5mbps after I reach my data cap (35GB/Month) so...

The littlest sand snake gets my vote, but Melisandre's are pretty fantastic.

No thanks.

You're probably using all the Samsung shit. If you try to stick with the google apps the samsung stuff never stops begging you to use it.

That's basically what I'm saying I'm going to do. I don't want to, but I think it's probably the right choice because the negatives outweigh the positives. I just don't understand what makes people insist on watching a show that they don't like and making angry posts about it. It's not just...

Well stop fucking posting then. I rewatched all of Season 7 over the weekend. It's not nearly as bad as a year of reading this thread had made it in my mind. I really like the idea of talking about TV shows on the board, but every thread inevitably devolves into a few haters who watch every...

It was a carhartt t-shirt which is mostly cotton but I guess if the sparks are intense enough they can get it burning.

Did you read the books? I feel like in the books it was more clear that Littlefinger had been in love with Catelyn his entire life and being bitch-slapped by Ned's brother Brandon for her hand may have been the motivation for his obsessive social climbing in the first place. It's also pretty...

I found out the other day that while the sparks from an angle grinder are normally harmless if they're not going in your eyes, it is possible to stand too close to them. Literally set my shirt on fire.

Thomas & Betts 3G4DV-1/2 P27SL4 3 Gang 4X6 Box, 5-13/16-Inch Length by 4-Inch Width by 2-1/8-Inch Depth, Galvanized You'll want some of these to go with it. I'm not sure why you're concerned about the plastic one though. You think you flip light switches extra hard or something?

She would be it's cousin (once removed).

The good news is that understanding or not understanding this shit will almost certainly not affect your life in any way. I choose to not know anything about black holes in order to save valuable real estate in my brain to help me remember the names of my favorite porn stars.

200 miles to burger king from here but if someone wants to mail me an Angry Whopper I will reimburse you.

That would be an excellent way to get people to say that space exploration is racist somehow. Better get on the horn and let them know that you solved their problem.

I have an S8 and I will agree that the samsung spam for their shitty apps is horrendous. I won't be buying another Samsung phone. Fuck paying a premium for a subpar software experience.

I think if you just add milk to nacho cheese until you get your desired consistency you'd pretty much have it. I don't know if this is going to be a big hit on the menu though.

T-tops.

I find the tropical talking birds extremely annoying, but I always thought those aviaries with the little birds were very cool. Sort of like an aquarium but with birds. Pretty big commitment to put something like that in your house though, and I imagine it takes a fair amount to keep it from...

Just read a big article in the New Yorker about this. The Day the Dinosaurs Died This ranch is ~80 miles from mine. They find dinosaurs north, south, east, and west of me. I really need to find one on my place but I have no clue how to find any fossils except for petrified wood. I've...

Seriously? All of the stars from their super bowl team are gone except Wilson and he's not even signed and they only have $12M in space? That seems like bad management.

There's been rumors about a "Pixel 3 Lite" version coming out during the summer. If it's got wireless charging and is in the ~$400 range that might be my next phone.

I definitely prefer the Kraft Deli Deluxe American to singles.

I was sad when DQ dropped the Nerds blizzard. I used to get one from time to time when I was in high school.

So do you think they tell their engineers deep dark secrets about how their products are toxic and just tell them to keep it to themselves? Or do you think that guy is just talking out of his ass like everybody else?

Don't start that hippy faggotry in here. This is the fast food thread. There's nothing toxic about Kraft singles. Morons see sodium citrate in the ingredients and go OMG it's POISONS.

I still watch an episode now and then. It has the same problem as a lot of reality shows in that it's pretty much the same thing over and over and once you've seen an episode in the swamp, the jungle, and on the savannah then you pretty much know what's going to happen.

American is superior to cheddar on anything where the cheese melts. Cheddar is garbage for melting. Ever make a quesadilla with cheddar? Oil fucking runs out of it. American is really just mild cheddar with an emulsifier to keep it from separating when it melts which is what makes it good...

I got all excited when Subway came out with the "Big Hot Pastrami" sandwich because I missed living near Togo's. It was so disappointingly horrible that I didn't eat at Subway again for like 3 years. Now I've gone back because I like the "Pizza Sub" (not available in all areas but it's just a...

Shit I think I'd be pretty happy with a free bathroom remodel like that. The only thing that is significant at all is the big gap on the drain side of the tub which is unfortunate but once it's caulked it's not going to be that noticeable. I honestly feel sorry for your Dad after watching that...

It happened to a woman I know too. 42 years old and in great shape. Came home from a run and dropped dead in her living room in front of her kids.

Epidemiology isn't much better. It's hard to do science on humans and very easy to make shitty data say whatever you want it to.

I always wonder about motivations when people make fake news to scare everyone into thinking their food is going to kill them. In this case it's probably animal rights activists and some CNN reporter that has been a vegan for 6 weeks swallowing it whole. Lately there's been a blitz in the...

After having some friends with a pool, I would never want one. I've heard in some areas it actually reduces the property value because people don't want to deal with it. If you're really into swimming and want to do it every day, then it's probably worth it. Otherwise fuck that, let your kids...

I just heard that Ryan Leaf is going to be in my hometown giving a motivational speech about beating addiction and mental illness. Maybe it's time to make a comeback at 40 in the AAF.

This is technically true but since you have a fixed resistance the two are directly related. I = E/R The only way you can take 10,000 volts is if you're wearing 4" thick rubber shoes or if the source isn't capable of delivering the current in which case the voltage will drop. There are things...

The storm was all south and east of me. We were forecast to get 3" of snow and didn't even get that. Digging those cows out of the snow bank looks like a shitty day to me though.

Not OSHA approved, but if you want to be 100% sure that your GFCI is working, you can test it by plugging in an extension cord and dipping the other end in a bucket of water.

The thing I always think about with those performances in front of a giant crowd is what it must feel like to be the performer and look out at tens of thousands of people all transfixed by what you're doing and singing along with every word of a song you wrote. I watched a video of Adele doing...
