They're not my arguments so I'm not going to try to defend them, but i"ll link the videos I heard them in in case you're interested. I'm still planning to read it, but unfortunately books I'm "planning to read" is a whole section of my bookcase now. There's just too much good shit to consume...

I own both a paper and an electronic copy of Atlas Shrugged but have not read either of them. I mean to one day along with a lot of other books, but I have heard Atlas Shrugged criticized by people I respect as 1000 pages of ideological propaganda and not actual art, albeit very well written...

I will donate one. It's a 4, and the screen is cracked, but it's probably good enough to document our society for the future.

I'm mostly blaming it on Lauren. Every time there has been a chance to go after the big guys, she either bitched out or just went right to them and told them everything. Nobody else has really made a move, but it could well be because they couldn't do anything without Lauren and she refused to...

That bread looks awesome.

I hate garages that just barely have room for the cars and nothing else. My grandparents old house that we rent out now is like that. If you pull anything bigger than a basic sedan into it you have about an inch of slack between taking off your mirror on one side and not being able to open the...

Can't help you sorry, I'm earlier than that in the process. If you want to buy a 600 lb calf and fatten it to butcher size yourself, I can hook you up. When you want to stir fry without sugar...

Yeah, Donathan is clearly a moron. I can't fucking believe that nobody made any attempt to go after Wendell or Dom this week. Even with Donathan going full retard, there should have been an attempt to get the big targets. Dom or Wendell deserves to win this season, but not as much as everyone...

Makita and Metabo are the main brands for angle grinders, although I think Dewalt has some good ones as well. If you're not likely to use it regularly though, the Harbor Freight special will probably do the job. You will go through a shitload of wheels cutting tile so if you get a 5" or 6" one...

As a beef producer, I feel like a traitor for saying this, but I think some of the best bang for your buck at the meat counter is pork shoulder blade steaks. I think they taste much better than pork chops, but usually sell cheaper. I don't know why. Usually $1.89 a pound at my store even when...

This is why all families should go to church, even if you're not religious. It's a great place to meet families with young kids who wouldn't mind an extra now and then or families with teenage daughters where you know their parents and thus can predict how responsible they will be.

I give up on trying to read this whole thread, but that babysitter app seems like something that could easily turn into a way to find prostitutes. Is it possible to post an ad saying you need a sitter for zero kids and pay $300 an hour? EDIT: Oh, I got it. You post that you need a sitter for...

By far? Explain yourself.

The best place to get information is people who sell mystery tours.

My favorite way to make salmon is to season it with salt and pepper or better yet lemon pepper seasoning and then get a cast-iron pan nice and hot and then throw in a shitload of butter. It will smoke a little, don't let that scare you, but if it's smoking you need to get the salmon in there...

That looks pretty bad. If the board is burned that much there's a good chance there are traces that aren't conducting anymore. A board like that is more likely to be repairable than a modern board, but it's very difficult to diagnose without a schematic to know what you should be testing for...

I bought a used flatbed truck yesterday and it had a 13 speed transmission that I had never driven before. I was taking it to get fuel and then I was supposed to come back into town and meet my family at DQ for dinner but it turned out I couldn't shift the fucking thing to save my life so after...

Country music on the radio has turned into horrible pop songs or even hip hop beats with ridiculously stupid lyrics, but it has given rise to people like Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price who play real country music and you can actually hear the instruments and they manage to sing...

That video was very helpful. I would rather things would just be a little more clear to begin with, but I suppose it's sort of like reading Dostoevsky in a literature class where the teacher can point out the more subtle ideas as you go. Not to say that Westworld is great literature, but...

I will listen to it. My only opinion of him has been what a stupid name he has, but I saw him perfom on the Grammys last year and it was pretty good.

Yeah, get the health shit out of here. There are other threads for that kind of thing.

If you read the story of Sun records, Sam Phillips founded it specifically to bring the blues sound to white people. He started the careers of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. It turned out to be a pretty good idea.

She has needs too. Being a celebrity beard is a lonely life.

I miss motown. Too many of the good black musicians are making hip hop these days. This discussion definitely belongs in the "You know you're getting old when" thread.

I think the whole "never frozen" thing was just some marketing horseshit that Wendy's came up with and McDonald's just decided to play along. Freezing ground beef doesn't hurt it at all as far as I can tell.

I don't know why demolition derbies aren't more popular. They are hilarious. I really think it would be fun to drive in one also.

Nobody thinks the pyramids are 10 million years old though. If they were built by a technologically advanced society 5000 years ago there should be some other evidence aside from the pyramids themselves.

Yeah, seems like they missed a big opportunity tonight. Dom and Wendell won't get blindsided again. If one of them wins they should really send Laurel a thank you note because she is gifting them this game. Even if Wendell had played his idol, it would have still been 4-3 in the next tribal...

I think the consensus has been the Pixel 2 for a while. At least I haven't heard that the S9 knocked it off?

I love killing rodents. I actually just bought a bunch of mouse traps today to get revenge on the little bastard that shit in my silverware drawer.

I wonder if you can "hack" it using a can of paint.

We can agree that we don't know exactly how, why, and when they were built. My issue with you is that you are proposing explanations with no evidence while also insisting that the explanations or theories of experts in the field are impossible.

The "why" is a great question for all of these structures and we will almost certainly never know the answer, but that hasn't been the discussion up to this point and Chuk agreeing with you now is just him walking back his posts from earlier in the thread, which were all about technology.

How did they do it? Making and moving monoliths at Göbekli Tepe It's not like this stuff is hard to find.

In a way it's less plausible, because we have access to those sites and should be able to find evidence if they had say, steel, let alone modern technology such as motorized cranes or something. Well, you claim that some technology other than the bronze or stone tools in evidence would be...

You still haven't explained why you think that your theory, for which there is no evidence, is more reasonable than aliens for which there is no evidence.

Dolores makes no sense to me. I don't know if it's accurate to say that she understands the vastness of the outside world either. All she's done is see some city lights out the window and attend one cocktail party. I guess I missed the explanation on how the guns work. Somebody want to fill...

This is the key. As someone who left a cushy government job to take over a family business that I had no idea how to run 9 years ago, I have worked 10 times harder for way less money than I did at my old job but I would never go back. If you are doing something you're passionate about, it's...

I had the opportunity to watch two rocket launches and one of them we basically just stared into the fog for 2 hours, heard a rumbling noise, and went home. The other one was cool though, even though it was raining.

Talk to your local lumberyard (not Home Depot/Lowes). They usually have software to figure that sort of thing out. That said, assuming it's a weight bearing wall, that might be a job that would be worth paying a contractor to do just for the peace of mind that you haven't made your house unsafe.
