This thread is a little disappointing so far. I know there are people who made real money, at least 10's of thousands of dollars on Everquest. There was a guy on the Tarew Marr server board named "Plat4PoP" that sold plat for years and made a real business out of it, or at least that was my...

Do I get bonus points if I didn't have to get out of my recliner to set up this picture?

Bigger tanks are easier to maintain than smaller ones because they are more stable. A weekly partial water change is all you need to do and let's be honest, if you do it monthly that will probably be fine.

I have been getting these from Walmart for years based on Lanx's recommendation and I can confirm that they are head and shoulders above the standard grocery store ramen.

Are the bubblers for aesthetic effect? You don't need them for aeration if your filter is appropriately sized.

I think you're technically only supposed to post a picture of this type of car with smoke coming off of the back tires.

I always think about all the people who volunteered for a 1-way trip to Mars a few years back. You're basically volunteering to spend the rest of your life in a winnebago. Sure you know you're in a unique place and seeing things out the window that no one has ever seen before, but after the...

If you've been around a big engineering project, especially a government one, you know there's typically a LOT of waste and stupidity that the right leader might be able to streamline out of the project.

I can't think of a better place to go crazy than on the ISS. Seems like it could have easily been a case of somebody spending too much time in isolation and getting a little crazy and deciding to drill a hole in the wall and see what happened. It's kind of surprising more people haven't...

Didn't buy it, but I got a badass 6" angle grinder for Christmas. Can't wait to destroy something made of steel with it.

Oh and I think next time I will wait to slice it until people are actually sitting at the table. It killed me to have it sliced and sitting on the table for 20 minutes while people took their sweet assed time getting sat down.

What reason is there to bring up the Pat's division if not to suggest that they don't deserve to get to the playoffs, or at least deserve it as much as you do? If the Pats are better than the Steelers, then it's safe to assume that they would be in the playoffs if they were in the Steelers...

My first Christmas prime rib was a success. It was a 20 pounder. Put it on the pellet grill at 8:30 am at about 230°. Pulled it about 1:15 pm when the internal temp hit 120° and seared it on the gas grill. I did make a mistake there by rubbing butter on it before the sear. I was thinking it...

Steelers fans talking about how their division is harder than the Pats falls flat when Brady and Belichick have owned their asses for the last decade. It's pretty tough to say the Pats don't deserve to be there after they kick your ass.

Nick Foles Eagles are unbeatable. Who's trading their whole draft for Wentz this off season?

Looks like the 9ers were as tired of losing to Seattle as I was of watching it.

I have no reason to think it will happen, but I'm really hoping the 9ers can carry some momentum from the Denver game and upset the Seahawks at home today. So fucking tired of losing to the Seahawks. Plus it would be fun to screw up 2 teams playoff hopes in back to back weeks.

It's definitely possible to free-hand a straight line with a circular saw, but as others have said, it takes practice. I don't think the laser is going to make a ton of difference either but I haven't used one. Those tracks are really cool if you're going to rip a bunch of plywood or...

Love me some hot sauce on pizza. Sometimes I intentionally check myself and have a slice without it because I tend to drench it to the point where you can hardly taste the pizza but it's really good.

Yeah, cold pizza is the breakfast of champions.

Got the $6 "Hangry Deal" at DQ the other day. The burger was a big greasy, cheesy, beefy mess, but not in a bad way. It was a little hard to eat, but it tasted fantastic. Will get it again.

Sure, but I don't think most people go into debt for 5 years for designer clothes or video cards. I guess some do on their credit cards, but most of them didn't make a decision to do that. People who would consider it wasteful to buy a pair of $250 jeans will spend $45,000 including interest...

This probably isn't going to be popular, but reading this thread I just don't understand people going into debt to buy a new car when there's nothing wrong with the car that they have. There's this weird obsession with cars in this country, like it's an achievement to drive an expensive car...

Yet you used my exact wording in your post. Sure buddy.

I never said anything about blockchain, nor did I say the tech was garbage, so try to work on your straw men. Harvard Economist: Bitcoin’s Future Value More Likely to Be $100 Than $100K

If you can find somebody to tape the drywall it's worth the money IMO. I've been told by multiple people that you shouldn't tape drywall for the first time in your own house. I tried it once and I sucked at it. The pro will do it perfectly in half a day and it will take you a whole weekend to...

I think pex is definitely a better insulator than copper, but no pipe material is going to keep water hot sitting in the pipe overnight.

In defense of the homeless, there is no where to shit there. I was there late at night once and had to shit and finally paid the cover charge at a strip club just to use their toilet because I couldn't find a public bathroom anywhere. Of course that's due to the junkies as well, but if you...

I was referring to Coit Tower, but a city like SF can have multiple penises I'm sure.

Nice view of San Francisco's penis.

Translation: We know you don't give a fuck about anything that comes in the mail except for packages, so we'll take our sweet time delivering the pile of paper that you all throw directly in the trash every day.

I talked to a friend of mine that works for Bureau of Land Management and they have the day off today too. I guess all non-essential government employees love the guy who was president 30 years ago so much that they can't bear to come to work?

Well there's your problem. That site's only purpose is to convince you that you're in danger at all times. If burglar alarm companies didn't invent that shit, they should have.

That tweet doesn't sound like firing material to me at all, but what in the fuck good does twitter do anyone? Everyone should stop tweeting. It does nothing but show the world what a dumbass you are, and that's even true for smart people.

Aside from prototypes for mechanical engineers, have they ever found a use for this other than making plastic toys that are worse quality than you can get for $.10 from China?

~2% nationwide, which is more than I would have thought, but I bet the numbers go down exponentially the further you get from the ghetto.

I lived in major cities for 13 years and 3 of those were in the shithole of Phoenix, AZ and the only burglary I ever heard of was a drug dealer that was selling out of the apartment 3 doors down from mine who got robbed at gunpoint and reported that he lost $3000 in cash which of course made the...

Yeah, I saw those articles. They pointed out like 3 plays where they saw him look at one receiver and then throw to another and then concluded that that meant he was a good quarterback and the only explanation for him not being paid $15M a year was racism. They started with the conclusion and...

No it wasn't. This is some bullshit made up by people who want to advance the narrative that Kaep was blackballed because racism. I watched every 49ers game that year and he sucked ass. Chip Kelly did a decent job of masking his deficiencies but no one who actually watched the games thinks he...
