    Generalized family drama

    Some people are just shit, and that's all there is to it. I haven't talked to my dad in about 15 years, my mom in about 12, and one of my sisters in about the same. I regret none of it. They're absolutely garbage people who bring nothing to my life and I refuse to deal with it. I don't...

    Woodworking

    I tore the left one in 2017, so I'm pretty well aware of how it goes. This one feels like the right, but then the left one started hurting too, so not sure if I tore both, or if my left just hurts for me compensating for the right. The only good news is that I'm not doing heavy labor at work...

    Woodworking

    Yep, that was one option. It was not a good option when your logs are 500+lbs though. It was literally everything 3- 6' tall dudes could do to get mine up the hill, around the house, and up 6 inches onto the platform of my mill. I haven't had any time this summer to finish surfacing my stuff...

    Small type on my phone lead me to believe there was Sulfuron extract in it. No such luck, upon closer inspection.

    Job Hunting

    It's probably just that everyone sucks ass on the hiring front right now. Companies are slow as shit. If I hire a guy tomorrow, it's gonna be a month before I see him in orientation. I have no fucking clue how long ago he applied.

    Would you be willing to forego media entertainment if it guaranteed the destruction of the industry?

    I forego all media anyway. I didn't even realize this was an option!

    When I was going thru my post vasectomy pain disorder, the 2nd opinion Dr. told me something I don't think I'll ever forget. "Chasing pain with surgery only leads to more pain."

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, allowing your ex any kind of leeway in regard to your romantic life is dumb as shit. I absolutely guarantee she is not going to stay single for the next 13 years to ensure your child doesn't have any other father type figures, so entertaining that fucking nonsense in any way right now is...

    I dunno man, I was a die hard Advil guy for years, and all I ever got out of it was stomach ulcers. The pre-arthritic pain I have in my knee is totally knocked out by Tylenol Arthritis, which has gotta be fucking snake oil, because there's no other ingredients in there aside from...

    That's exactly it. Great way to describe it...biting ants. It was fucking horrible. I was about to go out to the garage and get the wire brush. The only time it was tolerable was when I was in the shower. Turn the water up as hot as it would go and it would calm it down (probably just deaden...

    Yeah, that's what I thought too, but it's the same brand/bottle I've been using for awhile now, so that seemed unlikely. But then I sent the kid to the store to get whatever the fuck else they had, and got some spray and then something with lidocaine in it too and they both did the same shit. It...

    I had the week off last week, and had a few things I had to get done. One was to tear down some gutter and roof de-icing cables and then thread new ones up, so I was on the roof from about 9am to 1pm. It was about 80 degrees, but cloudy, so even though I know full well what can happen at that, I...

    Monster launched Reign a couple years ago specifically to compete with the 300mg caffeine, zero sugar, almost candy like flavors of Bang. And BCAAs, whatever the fuck those are. The hilarious thing is they are absolutely convinced that Reign's target market is gym bros. They had Thor Bjornssen...

    Monster acquired distribution rights to Bang. Not really sure why. Reign was supposed to compete with Bang. So my hunch is they bought it to kill it. I'm sure they'll push it for awhile, but I fully expect it to get shelved within a year, and then incorporating all the good flavors into Reigns...

    Not trying to split hairs, but a 20' diameter is 20' across. A 20' radius is 40' across. I'm sure you meant this, but the distinction is quite important for this type of thing!

    I wouldn't use Tinder, but I paid for whatever premium shit was on OKC and had good luck with it. I had like 4 I guess what you could call short term relationships in a year from that. I didn't like anything I saw on PoF, and Bumble is just antithetical to the way relationships should work...

    Dogs strangely enough like them as well. I get one every time I get Zel's carprofen refilled from Chewy because if I just get the carprofen, I gotta pay $13 in shipping. But if I buy this $5 banana, I get free shipping, and they ship it in 2 boxes from 2 different warehouses. I guess I just...

    Honestly, I don't have a problem. Carpet looks great, pulls up a lot of fur. Gets wrapped around the brush, but they give you a brush cleaner attachment so you're back in business in 20 seconds. Maybe everyone else around here has higher standards than me. /Shrug.

    The Roomba is really only maddening if you sit down and watch it. It gets better over time on mapping the floor, so it bumps into stuff less later on. But I think the underappreciated part is because of the weird pattern, it actually cleans the floor pretty well since it comes at it from...

    If you're doing it more than once a week, should be NP. I did it every day when it was just me and the dog living here, and it worked just fine. Still gotta hit it with the vacuum on the weekends, but at least I didn't have tumbleweeds of fur floating around.

    1st of all, just tell the vet the dog's name is pepper, and you don't have any problem. 2nd, if you leave the dog just enough room to turn around in her crate, they generally won't mess it overnight. During the day is something else, but at night, shouldn't be a problem. I just hope you don't...

    Okay, but I still gotta find an institution to hold said money, and then figure out where it goes. And then figure out why a spy is crying because it's only on the internet, or something.
