How a backyard pendulum saw sliced into a Bronze Age mystery

I haven't actually used it so I'm not sure what you mean, but my brother was using 12" x 24" tiles and didn't mention having a problem.

Let us know how it turns out. My brother and his wife just got their hands on a pig and they want to make bacon in my pellet grill. They said a friend of theirs made some and it was amazing.

The first time we did a tile project in my Mom's house we rented a big tile saw for like $50 a day but then later talked to a contractor and he said he just buys cheap ass tile saws at Harbor Freight for $60 and uses them until they die and throws them away. My brother bought one and used it to...

Masonry isn't too tough, definitely something a DIY-er can learn from watching youtube. I haven't done much myself but I know enough people who taught themselves and did a decent job to know that it can be done. Google Image Search is a great way to get ideas for this kind of thing.

I liked Kellyn early on but she definitely seems like she's going to crash and burn, possibly next week. This episode was sort of interesting just because what wound up happening was exactly what you would expect, but it took a pretty circuitous route to get there. The second I saw the team...

Not really related but a couple years ago one of my Mom's friends made some pulled pork for our shipping crew using Dr. Pepper and it was fucking horrible. I am now instantly biased against any recipe that calls for Dr. Pepper because of that. I don't really like baking because you really have...

I think you could call that an understatement. The Cowboys actually forced Dez to hire a "bodyguard" who was actually a babysitter to make sure he got home on time, showed up to meetings, and stayed out of trouble at the price of $17K a month. This was in his contract if he wanted to play on...

I love dried fruit but there is a LOT of fiber in it. I've never noticed the farting, but if you eat a lot of dried apricots you shouldn't go anywhere without quick access to a toilet.

I just heard today that there are people who are attached to their roombas. You are not alone in this feeling. I've also heard that bomb squad guys get bummed out when their robots get blown up even though that is what they're for. Emotional Attachment To Roombas Suggests Humans Can Love Their...

Honestly, I actually question his not getting a job more than Kaepernick's. He was a pretty good safety and I don't know what kind of money he was looking for but it probably wasn't 20M a year. I don't think he has any chance of successfully suing the NFL over it unless they are incredibly...

You can do it. If it was the little beads or something you might think twice, but tiles aren't dangerous at all unless you somehow manage to inhale them. I would wear the respirator out of an abundance of caution but you probably don't even need it.

Yeah, a little soap won't hurt it, but it's really not necessary. Even if stuff is cooked onto it, I just put it on the burner for a couple minutes until the fat melts and then put it under running water and everything just slides off of it. Also, it's not like you need to worry about bacteria...

It was supposed to be a speech to the nation on television but yes, she was sitting at her desk looking into the camera. I'm not sure what you mean by "polarized" though.

There's really no maintenance for a cast iron pan if you just don't totally abuse it. I haven't reseasoned one in years.

That caused me a little cognitive dissonance too, but all these cable dramas share actors. Oleg is a much better guy than Yevgeny.

Cool video, with the added bonus of being narrated by Elmer Fudd.

That website sure is white. The asteroid mining thing always seems sketchy to me. Assuming you spend a billion dollars capturing and mining an asteroid but get 2 billion dollars worth of precious metals from it. Isn't dumping that much of a rare commodity on the market going to cause prices...

My grocery store has Vlasic, Mt. Olive, and the store brand. I go with Vlasic now, but they used to have Nalley which were better than any of them but they replaced them with Mt. Olive which aren't as good. The store brand ones suck.

The popular idea in sci-fi is that when the computers become sentient it will be just like Terminator or the Matrix where they will instantly become superior to us in every way and then either wipe us out or enslave us. I kind of like the idea that they would be basically babies in the way that...

I didn't think of it until just now but I suppose it's possible since we know that Ford was complicit in the hosts becoming conscious, that he built them some sort of weapon to defend themselves and told Dolores about it.

Yeah, I liked that part as well, and I'm looking forward to getting more of William's backstory.

I'm totally not sympathizing with Dolores right now and the whole idea that the 50 of them are going to take on the human world with six shooters is just laughable so it's hard to see where they're going with this. William's storyline is more interesting to me but I don't know where that's...

I liked the finale. I've always been curious about the politics of the writers on this show, particularly when people on this thread were trying so damn hard to make the president character into Hillary Clinton last season even though it made no sense. I think the president's speech and the...

Beer battered onion rings are the best, but they go downhill too quickly after they come out of the fryer for most fast food places I think.

Dom and Wendell being secretly aligned with Laurel is making things too easy for them. I'm not sure what she's thinking but by running and telling them every time somebody tries to make a move, she's basically acting like she wants to go to the end with them, which would not go well for her...

Can't help thinking about watching Hard Knocks a couple years ago when they were talking about him like he was the most important guy on the team. I guess a few other things have worked out better for them since.

I will miss seeing him on the field just because it was always funny seeing him standing next to normal sized people.

I guess that explains the first round pick. I'd heard mixed reports about him but apparently they decided he's not going to get there.

i always love it when people are all romantic about "nature" and how wild animals need to be left in nature where they will be "happy" but let some nature happen around your kids and oh shit, the science teacher needs to go to jail. An infant's face being eaten by predators as it is being born...

Joe Staley isn't exactly a kid anymore either. I'm usually in favor of using high picks on the OL/DL but I'm not familiar with this guy. I was hoping maybe Nelson would fall to us but that was a pipe dream so hopefully this kid is good.

I know the niners liked him. Maybe a small payback for the bears giving a free pick to John Lynch last year.

A #2 pick doesn't come along every year (unless you're the Browns) and it's one of the few ways to land a top quarterback. Even if you think Eli's got you for a couple years, it's still the smart move to get a potential QB of the future while you're here since 2 years from now you're hoping...

Somebody should explain to him that you leave the weed in California, and the guns in Alabama and there won't be these problems.

Congratulations. I have had a few turkey hunters and there are definitely some turkeys around, but nobody has told me that they shot one yet.

My neighbor just died of COPD after 15 years on oxygen. If you are a lifelong smoker you should really pray for lung cancer because if the cancer doesn't get you the COPD will and that kills you a lot slower. One thing I always think about though, is that just anecdotally, living in Montana I...

Hah. We use facebook messenger here on the ranch but I am the only one that goes to my computer instead of just using the phone for these chats so I am able to dominate the conversation with my walls of text while everyone else is pecking away on their phone.

I think a lot of people here missed a lot of shit in season one just like I did. Even after re-watching S1 a lot of this didn't click for me, but these videos were helpful.

Dudes, As far as I can tell there isn't one person on this board and possibly the rest of the world that takes Lumi seriously. Because of that, there isn't really any need to reply to him. From my somewhat limited reading, there's no evidence of anyone changing his mind on anything, and...

If she can actually cook at all it's probably a no-brainer. She makes Rachael Ray and Giada de Laurentiis look like chopped liver.
