    Congratulations Mist

    Mostly superyachts. I think Paul Allen's cost $250M and that doesn't include the crew, fuel, and storage costs. You can probably have a private jet, but it's most likely not going to be a 747 and you may even have to go used.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Vance McDonald was third in receiving yards on the 49ers last year, not that that's saying that much. I actually liked him, he is fast and flashy when he doesn't drop the ball.

    If you substitute "barbecue" for "Beef & Cheddar" this was the exact post I was going to make.

    Relocating to LA from Orlando

    Solid advice. I spent a few years in the Southwest and the Grand Canyon and New Mexican food are the only things I'd consider going back for.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    I'm not going into it, but let me just say you don't know WTF you're talking about. The downside to how few people are involved in farming these days is that city dwellers are stunningly ignorant about agriculture.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    So you want to go back to a 100% agrarian society? The fact that people don't have to grow their own food is what enabled modern society. Cheap and plentiful food provided by a tiny percentage of the population is what allows the rest of the world to build skyscrapers and invent the internet...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've watched pretty much every game he's played in his career and rooted for him in every one of them. I don't give a shit about the anthem protest one way or the other, and I'm not sorry he's gone at all. I just wish the trade with Denver would have worked out last year and we could have...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    No, I played on Tarew Marr and the test server. I was very unremarkable as a player but I was a mod on TSW for many years.

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    You shouldn't group with people who play in recliners late at night. On test we had a cleric who literally fell asleep in an exp group every night. You knew it was going to happen, so you had to try to notice that she was not responding before it wiped the group. To her credit though, she...

    Dairy Queen onion rings >>> Burger King. There is an onion in there and although they have crumb breading instead of beer batter they are still top tier for a fast food chain. The best onion rings are of course freshly fried beer battered at a steak house or BBQ joint but if we're talking fast...

    I don't think I have either, but if you did I'd think you'd go beer batter, not something with sugar in it.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    Yeah, the easy solution is to just give them money and if someone points out how much they are suffering, call that person a racist. Not to get all Ayn Rand-y but it seems clear to me that a great way to destroy a person is to put a roof over their head, give them just enough money to get by...

    Post Your Pet

    I think you're right. That was what I found googling, but I thought it was wrong because generally the males are blue and the females are orange and with mine both were orange but I have recently read that in a small percentage of the population the males can be orange so maybe I had the rarer...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I actually thought both Hoyer and Beathard looked decent in the second preseason game. I was more concerned about the lack of a running game than anything else. At least 3 of those turnovers were kind of weird, flukey things that aren't going to happen all in one game very often. The ball coming...

    Yeah, that's correct. I guess that makes sense, each bolt only has to hold up a little strip of the deck where the supports in front are 12 feet apart.

    I know this is from 6 months ago, but what is that orange fish? I used to have some and was thinking about getting them again but I can't remember the name.

    Whiskey

    I think that's probably the way to go. Find some yuppie bartender and just tell them that you want to try some whiskey. They might judge you if your favorite winds up being crown royal or something, but I would bet that the more you drink, the more you will start to like some of the stronger...

    So I have a dumb question for you guys. We are building a deck on my brother's house that is going to be steel structure and a concrete pan deck. It's 10 feet wide and runs the full length of the house and it's about 9 feet off the ground (house has a walk-out basement). The front of the deck...

    Hey guys, I haven't been keeping up with the thread. Does anyone else think that they don't show enough how travel time effects things in this show? As an expert in medieval logistics, I find the timelines somewhat dubious! I bet this idea will lead to weeks of super interesting discussion...

    How much latency does wireless add? Obviously it's terrible on satellite, but I understood that that was the fact that the signal has to go 20000 miles into space. That wouldn't be an issue with terrestrial wireless.

    I used to just hike and even backpack in regular tennis shoes and it's fine unless you're walking on rocks all the time. I hiked 16 miles on rock in tennis shoes once and I could barely walk by the end because my feet hurt so bad. Now I just wear the basic red wing work boots I wear every...

    Real Estate Agents - Anyone have this career?

    Most real estate licences are held by desperate housewives who need to get out of the house to keep from drinking themselves to death on white wine or driving their husbands away. All of my real estate knowledge came from the movie "American Beauty". This is great news for Xarpolis.

    Yeah, and also this year, but Olebass likes to post the same shit over and over. I have heard people speculating that Euron has some sort of sea devil magic powers and that's why he's able to just show up out of nowhere but they haven't really shown us anything to support that.

    Why is the "beef" cutlet white on the inside? FWIW, hollow cheese sticks happen when the breading loses structural integrity. If you fry them and there is a hole in the breading, the cheese just runs out. Dairy Queen here has cheese curds. I don't think I ever saw them when I was in...

    I hate to admit it but I usually get barbecue sauce with my nuggets. Not because it tastes that great, but I think it's just a reminder of my childhood which is the entire purpose of eating McNuggets in the first place. I usually get some sweet and sour or buffalo too, but I wind up mostly...
