    Not all of them I guess. The actress playing Corey's wife is half white, half Chinese.

    Yellowstone

    This was a pretty good start but I don't think they put a lot of effort into being accurate about ranching life. I laughed out loud at the calf pulling scene. FWIW, they don't jump up and run away the instant they're born. That calf was at least 6 weeks old. Horses also don't go from totally...

    The "Shit i just Broke" thread.

    This is a good idea for a thread. I break shit all the time. Most recently, as I posted in the smartphones thread, the headphone jack has started acting up on my Galaxy S8. As a result I was listening to podcasts in the shop by just putting the phone in my shirt pocket with the speaker...

    30 nuggets is a totally solid effort. How were they?

    Are those 10 piece boxes? Because if you're going to eat 60 spicy nuggets my hat is off to you.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Tell me about it. Our place has close to 60 miles of barbed wire fence and a lot of it was built in the homesteader days 100 years ago. Between that and the half dozen corrals I could basically spend every waking hour fixing fence and never run out of things to do.

    First trip out of the country, help me choose

    I won a trip like that to Las Vegas last winter but it was only for 3 nights and only covered the hotel. I wound up not going because I figured going to vegas alone would make everyone think I was just gambling and whoring and also all the gambling and whoring I would have been doing would have...

    Smartphones

    I at least cracked mine in an original way. I was welding with it in my shirt pocket and sparks went into my pocket and melted half a dozen tiny holes in the screen and then as the day went on, a crack formed out to each of the little holes.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I don't do it as a hobby, but sometimes it seems that way when I balance the books at the end of the year. What part of the country are you in? How much rainfall do you get? Around here 20 acres is barely enough grazing for one cow, not enough in a lot of places, but that can vary greatly...

    The Fishing Thread

    I'd say if your buddy has extra stuff I'd use his at least the first time to get an idea what you want. He can give you an idea what size stuff you want for the kind of fishing you're going to do. People that make fishing gear would like you to believe that it's super complicated, but it's...

    Half my family is drinking this stuff. It tastes terrible. My Mom gave some to my brother's baby yesterday and he just opened his mouth and let it run out and I was like "Right on kid".

    The Fishing Thread

    You could certainly put some powerbait on there and try for the double whammy, but they will catch fish without bait as well. If you want to catch and release you're better off to not use bait because with a lure they will realize that the lure isn't food and not swallow it so you just hook...

    The Fishing Thread

    What you're doing could definitely work. If you're not having luck with the bait, maybe try a Mepps spinner or a very small spoon. Are there other people fishing where you are? If not it might just not be a good area. If there are, just ask them how the fishing is and if they seem...

    Smartphones

    I live in the sticks so it's pretty hard to get it to a repair shop. It seems that cleaning the headphone jack with a q-tip has solved the problems with it so I will most likely just get used to the cracks in the screen for now, but it sounds like a fun thing to try. I would not be happy with...

    Smokers / Grills

    The igniter can be a little fussy if it gets too many pellets in it before it gets them lit. I have had it fail a couple times in my Yoder. You either have to dig all the pellets out and try again, or just skip the igniter and light the pellets yourself with a propane torch. I think if my...

    Anyone ever tried to replace a screen on a phone before? I cracked the screen on my S8 the other day and also the headphone jack is failing and I'm tempted to try replacing them both myself. I replaced the back glass on my Nexus 6P a year or so ago and it was a piece of cake, but this is a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You can't even get an F-350 with a manual transmission anymore. There's really no reason for them anymore aside from nostalgia for old farts.

    First trip out of the country, help me choose

    I've never understood spending thousands of dollars and traveling thousands of miles to sit in the sun and drink margaritas. Just buy a beach umbrella and do it in your back yard. If I'm going on vacation I want to see, do, and eat things I can't get at home.

    RIP Anthony Bourdain

    It could still be drugs as well. People who abuse benzos, especially in combination with opiates, kill themselves all the time. Chris Cornell is a notable example, and somebody like Bourdain could get a doctor to prescribe anything he wanted.

    The Americans

    Even with a 90 minute finale there were a lot of questions left unanswered. I wanted to know what happened to the kids, what happened to Oleg, what happened to Stan and his maybe spy wife, how things went in Russia for Philip and Elizabeth, etc. Not that they could have shown all that, but...

    Yeah, don't make your breaker bigger than you need now. That just means more current to set shit on fire if it malfunctions. Get bigger breakers when you actually have a bigger current draw.

    Cry more Frenchy. On a slightly related note, a guy I grew up with is currently living in Russia as a consultant on a giant cattle ranch over there where they are trying to raise American style beef. He says a lot of people back home have given him shit for developing competition for...

    Yeah, the only thing lamer than Seabass being butthurt over the fake idol is the fact that he fell for it in the first place, along with the other two morons. I was just begging Donathan to say "You know, if he actually had an idol, there would be no reason to put this show on. If he was...

    Pretty decent ending to a pretty boring season. Laurel, Angela, and Sebastian proved that they richly deserved to lose, and they did so that was good. Dom and Wendell were very equal and both good players so there was no chance of a bullshit winner and I think finally getting a tie was never...

    If you put the breakers side by side you will have one from each leg. That's what the black and blue signifies in your diagram and as you can see they alternate as you go down the line. Yeah, you would have to turn the power off outside if you want to mess with those main lugs, but there...

    Yes, that's right. It should be no problem at all. Put a 60 amp in your current box, and a 35 and a 20 in the new box.

    I doubt that there will be any that go nowhere. You can combine a couple circuits and the worst that would happen is you would blow the breaker sometimes if you choose poorly. It's a cheesy thing to do though. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to replace the existing double breaker...

    This was my thought exactly. I think we were supposed to be sad when Dolores turned on Teddy but I a couldn't have cared less. That whole story line continues to feel completely pointless. There also seems to be a "girl power" theme to the show, but I just keep thinking that they're not...

    Ayn Rand

    I do think that a lot of liberals have a knee-jerk reaction to Rand even though they have never read or heard anything she had to say but some English professor told them she was basically a nazi and also couldn't write and they never looked any further than that.

    Fahrenheit 451 (2018)

    I haven't read the book, but I thought the movie was so-so. Good acting by Jordan and of course Michael Shannon, and the girl was actually pretty good too. The technology was pretty corny and seemed like it was designed to remind us of Facebook and Amazon Echo. The main character's conversion...
