Yeah, this guy is a perfectionist and I'm not. Probably the more likely scenario is that he'll be trying to make it perfect and I'll be trying to speed him up.

SN8 seemed like it almost successfully landed. This one wasn't even close.

Fortune has smiled upon me. Last night my sister texted and said that she and her husband are coming to visit for the weekend. Her husband just happens to be a plumber. He's going to bring some tools and fittings and we'll run the line on Saturday and hopefully have my new stove in place to...

Starlink uses low earth orbit satellites. They are like 2-400 miles away. Hughesnet and Viasat have a single satellite in geostationary orbit which is like 25000 miles away so they are pretty much limited by physics to a shitty latency. LEO means you need way more satellites and a much more...

Yeah, for a small project the money you save on the sharkbite connectors won't even pay for a decent crimping tool. I love sharkbite stuff but it wouldn't be practical to do them for a whole house. Some people don't seal sharkbites up behind walls and such either just because they do have an...

Beta testers are getting 100MB down, 20MB up and 30ish mS pings. That blows hughesnet out of the water. So far there's no data cap either where Hughesnet caps you at 10-50 GB depending on your plan. Hughesnet and Viasat claim to be 25MB but you never actually get that. A lot of times it's...

Trading the entire team and their future for Watson is a move that would make old Al proud. What's Carr's stock these days? I only watched one Raiders game this year and he looked great but I can't even remember which one it was.

The house has these little truss like things instead of regular joists so no drilling required. You probably don't even need hangers. When I ran my water lines I just snaked the pex through the ceiling. Totally trivial.

You're tempting me. I'm going to call a couple more plumbers in the morning and see what they say. I might call back the $1600 guys too. I actually have a pretty good relationship with them and maybe if I offer to run the line they would do it for less.

I'm afraid of burning my house down. Maybe this is unfounded fear but I've never fucked with gas lines before.

It does to me too. They replaced the furnace in my old house like a year ago (2 miles down the road) and the labor was only $2k. It's a drop ceiling with the tiles already taken out of it so running the line seems like it should take about 7 minutes to me but maybe there's something I don't...

Got a quote to run a propane line for a gas stove that I already bought at my house. $1600 to run a line ~50 feet in a basement with a drop ceiling. $400 in material and $1200 in labor. That includes an hour of driving to get here and another one to get back but I'm still sort of shocked at...

I agree. If Bosa comes back 100% he is a game changer. The only player on the 49ers that I would be more sad to lose is Kittle. That said, even trading Bosa probably makes sense to get an actual top 5 quarterback. I haven't watched enough Houston games to know that much about Watson but...

That's interesting. Unfortunately it's a very hilly area.

It's hard to think about this year as a miracle in terms of injury hehe. He did have some nice plays though.

Yeah, it only makes sense if the Vikes have their eye on some other QB. Maybe they want Cam Newton!

I don't either really, but if it happens Kyle Shanahan must think so, and I have a lot of faith in him.

I really wish SF could find a really good quarterback. I think Kittle + Aiyuk + Deebo as a group would be as scary as Hill + Kelce if they had a really good QB throwing to them, not to mention Jordan Reed. Pair that with Shanahan's run game and that's going to be a problem for defenses...

Ross Tucker says Cousins is going to SF and Jimmy G is going back to New England. I guess if you could trade Jimmy back to Belichick for a 2nd rounder and then trade that 2nd rounder to Minnesota for Cousins it sort of makes sense if you really think Cousins is better. Cousins is who Shanahan...

Yeah it definitely seems like Shanahan thinks he can get something out of Cousins that no one else can. If they go that way I hope he's right. He also seems to love CJ Beathard though and that hasn't gone anywhere.

Is his shoulder dislocated? That's pretty badass. Stafford also totally looks like one of my favorite musicians, Jason Isbell.

The takeaway from this is, you are going to die in a hurricane.

Maybe he just likes New York. I guess it's possible that he loves being in a shitty organization but Houston is just too humid for him.

Finally, an action figure that looks like the people who actually collect action figures!

Those things are awesome but they look like small town grain silos.

I was on board for the niners to go for stafford but I'm glad they didn't pay that much. The Rams keep mortgaging the future to win now and then not winning. The way they're going when Mcvay gets fired some poor bastard is going to get a team of super expensive senior citizens and no draft...

Yeah. Joe also benefited from there being no salary cap and Eddie DeBartolo caring more about winning than making money. On the other hand, the teams they had to beat to get to and win the superbowl were probably better than the ones Brady had to beat in the salary cap era as well. I love Joe...

I think it would be a pretty big upgrade personally. I think Shanahan's playcalling is pretty handicapped by Jimmy G's limitations. That wouldn't be an issue with Stafford. Shanahan doesn't need a superstar quarterback, just someone who can stay healthy, read the field, and make all the...

So what you're saying is, you can't wait to get Lanx's slender sausage in your mouth?

I think it's possible but putting it on poles is less reliable and it runs into a lot of complications with the power company and others who are leasing space on the poles etc. It's cheaper initially but I think a lot of companies don't want to do it. Sucks that they stopped so close to you...

I have not been to Detroit, let alone eaten pizza there so I don't have anything to compare it with.

I tried it tonight as well. My crust was very crispy. Just got pepperoni. I liked the extra sauce on top as well as I'm a big sauce fan, but Pizza Hut's sauce is a bit too sweet IMO.

I guess it's Araysar's day to troll the fast food thread.

Did you listen to it? It's pretty interesting. I'm not saying he's right, but I don't think he's a junkie.

#1593 - Dr. Carl Hart - neuropsychopharmacologist This one kind of blew my mind. I always like hearing from people who are obviously smart and educated but think about things 180 degrees different than everyone else. He's a professor at Columbia University who regularly uses drugs like...

Maybe, but most Brady sacks look like that. I agree that it's smart. Trying to fight for half a yard or risking taking a big hit for a 10% chance of keeping a drive going probably isn't worth it for a QB that's 23, let alone for one that's 43.

By the way, I think watching Tom Brady get sacked the last couple of years is hilarious. The second someone touches him he just drops to the ground like a house of cards. He's not taking a hit for any reason if he can help it. He's like "You can have your sack just don't hurt me!". Peyton...

Yeah, it really seems like he has no weaknesses except for his size and frankly, that is never an issue.

I thought the Packers played well enough to win the game most of the game but it was a crime that they didn't make more out of those 3 Brady interceptions. Aaron Rodgers coming to San Francisco would right a wrong from 2005 when we should have picked him #1 overall but I can't really see it...
