Happy Thanksgiving, Gravy.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles

If you need a movie to watch this Thanksgiving, this is the one.

I thought this little gadget was kinda neat. I don't know how it compares price wise to similar stuff. FLIR Thermal Imager for iPhone

I don't care how old you are, that ain't right. Dust maybe, but not blood.

, speechless.

I agree, but that's the reality for me. So therefore, I think its ridiculous for Amazon Prime to not offer the option to lower their streaming quality. Maybe I'm old and blind, but medium quality from Netflix looks the same as Amazon's 'only' quality, but 2 hours of Amazon puts me over the...

Disposals are easy. They're mostly universal in how they connect to the sink so don't remove that part just yet. It's just a cam-lock collar. You'll see some nubbins under there to grab and twist with your hands but more than likely, a couple of taps with a hammer will get the collar moving. Be...

Yes he does.

Well if their aim is to cut down on my drinking, which isn't much anyway, they've succeeded. It's a pain in the ass to go to the ABC store so I don't. But in so doing, they've also eliminated the revenue they would get from me in the form of taxes.

In ID, anything other than beer and wine is sold at state-run liquor stores only. I don't get the rational.

State run liquor stores. Can someone explain why they exist? You can't go to Costco or your local grocery store and get a bottle booze. Nope, you have to make a special trip to a special store and overpay for everything except beer and wine.

I don't know if it's cheap shit or not, I just know it takes a hell of a lot of real estate to form it into a curve. Same with Ethernet cables. I was hoping there was an alternative cable that was more flexible. Kinda like if you look around, you can find speaker wire that looks like tape and...

Maybe related. Is there an alternative cable I can use that isn't as stiff or heavy as the RG-6 stuff the cable company uses? Same with the Ethernet cable. I'm trying to clean up some messy wiring in my living room and make 1' cables instead of 5' cables but the shit is no fun to work with...

I think some of the choice comes down to what market your house is in. A vinyl floor in an upscale market isn't going to fly when it comes time to sell. On the other hand, putting wood down where there is water is not wise either. That's especially true of laminates. I would install stone or tile.

And that's that attitude they've adopted.

Again, I don't have a problem with the concept. Many times I've shown up at a gas station in a tux on my way to a gig and the last thing I need is to smell like gasoline when I get there, so it would be nice if someone else could pump the gas for me. But the two stations I stopped at in OR had...

On my trip, the gas in Oregon was cheaper than in neighboring Idaho and Washington so it's not because of pricing.

Kinda sad. I've got about 50 of those ducks in my backyard as I type this and they're the most gentle creatures I've ever had hang around my place. I know hawks gotta eat but still.

It's not the concept, it's the implementation. My first job was at a "service station". That's what we called gas stations back in the day. I made $1.35/hr. We (I say we because there were at least 2 if not 3 of us on duty all the time) had to watch film strips (remember them?) as training. A...

Buying gas in Oregon. You can't do it yourself, so there's one guy running around working 12 pumps and turning a 5 minute job into a 20 minute one. What's the point? If it's to create a job then just pay the fucker to get out of the way.

I don't know if it's an age thing or just me, but I mist or choke up during sentimental scenes in movies or TV shows that are written to elicit that response. Didn't use to happen.

Looks good and despite what some will say, I like white appliances. They are easy to clean, brighten up the space and no fingerprints.

I have a 300gb cap on my usage and for what I do, internet and Netflix, I'm usually at 1/2 or less per month, unless I use Amazon Prime. I can throttle back the quality of Netflix being streamed and can stay under 10mg average per day easily, but Amazon doesn't let you do that and one movie will...

They left this out of their video

Maybe even a first world disorder.

I thought so too until I lived in Arizona where they're all mavericky and don't play that game. It sucks being the lone ranger, too. The only thing worse than changing your clock is not changing your clock when everybody else does.

Walking into the bank and having every last employee say "Welcome to Wells Fargo!" all at the same time. You don't mean, corporate told you to say it and it comes off as disingenuous.

Keurig KOLD Interesting tech but it drives the price of a glass of coke to over a $1.

Don't 4k TVs upscale a lesser image or is that a big 'so what'?

You might as well spring for their center channel speaker. That way all 5 will matched. That's important, IMHO.

I used to set lead type.

If you have carpet, sometimes there is room under the baseboards to cram some wire into, or just remove the baseboards, route/gouge out the sheet rock for your wire and reinstall. Same with door molding/casing. You can also fish wire under carpet. It's not a fire hazard. Don't use monster...
