    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Daniel Jeremiah ranked Goff as the 4th best rookie quarterback through 3 preseason games on his podcast this week.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I am usually skeptical of magic kitchen gadgets but this one intrigues me. If it really poaches eggs that quickly and doesn't overcook them that alone would be worth the price to me. 10K+ reviews on Amazon and it's at 4.5 stars. That's a pretty strong recommendation.

    Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

    Yes, Facebook calls all of your acquaintances "friends" which may not be technically correct. What does that have to do with anything?

    In the old days it wasn't the same. They merged in '97. Either way though, there is no Carl's Jr. here either.

    My hometown had Hardees throughout my childhood but it closed and now the closest one is 200 miles away. They had excellent bbq sauce.

    Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

    Facebook is fantastic. I use it daily. It's a great way to keep in touch with friends and family without having to actually call them. I like being able to just go to one place and see what my family is up to, see pictures of their kids and vacations, and maintain basic contact with old...

    BMI Thread

    Yeah, if you're a man with any amount of muscle on you the BMI charts are going to say you're overweight. The fact that they don't even differentiate between men and women pretty much tells you how useful it is. If you really want to know if you're in shape, find out your body fat percentage...

    I like feta in salads and such but it's too bland to hold it's own on a pizza. And yeah raw onions are pretty much universally disliked by children and adults who stopped developing their palate at age 5.

    Could I interest you in a Colin Kaepernick? We will trade him but we need to get at least a can of bacon grease in return.

    Opinions may vary on which tastes better but celery is definitely a more effective dip shovel.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't think the other sauces taste bad, but if I order a pizza and something with god damn barbecue sauce shows up, it's like I ordered a stromoli and you brought me a jelly roll. Yeah, they are similar in some ways, and they taste good, but it's not what I fucking ordered.

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    Definitely one of the best scenes in the show. The home depot guy looked like he had just met an alien. Everything he said about nail guns was pretty legit as well.

    I like celery, raw or cooked and I encounter it regularly. I'm under the impression that people do eat raw celery all the time.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I'm down for some raw celery in either egg or potato salad as long as it's chopped very fine. And yeah, celery is part of both french mirepoix and cajun trinity as an aromatic in which case it definitely contributes to the flavor.

    He is one of the most privileged people in America of any color, not just compared to the average black American.

    He's just not a very good example of how oppressed black people are in America.

    This is somewhat inaccurate because he really doesn't throw much at all. He mostly earns his salary by having surgery.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I still think something is up with Kaepernick. He and the 49ers hate each other but have to pretend that they don't because $$$. If they can't trade him and they're not going to play him they should just cut him. I guess if he gets injured this year they have to pay him his bonus for the next...

    Can you touch your toes?

    I am fat and nearly 40 I can easily touch my toes, yet my friend in HS who was like 5' 5" and 99 lbs couldn't do it at age 18. I think it must be genetic.

    Ever go out to Zachary's in the east bay? I used to love that place. I used to go to Round Table for the lunch buffet but as far as just ordering a pizza it is better than the big chains but not so much better to be worth paying triple the price IMO.

    The fact that you said this makes me completely discount your opinions on pizza.

    Autonomous Systems

    I think a lot of these scenarios that a computer couldn't figure out like "don't park in the muddy spot" could probably be overcome with some mechanism to let a human tell the vehicle what to do. Like if you want it to park or even back up to a certain spot you could just set a card on the...

    Tobacco Thread, it's glorious and we should quit.

    My sister in law started smoking at like 29. Who does that? I understand doing it when you're a dumb teenager and then not being able to quit but starting when you're all grown up and supposed to know better mystified me.

    The BLT is all bacon. Once you remove the bacon you are just eating a limp tomato and some mayo on a bun. It looks so amazing in the picture, but when you bite into it all you taste is sugar. Bacon is supposed to be salty, not overwhelmingly sweet. It was really off-putting.

    This is just not true. I didn't think it was possible but Arby's actually found a way to ruin bacon by coating it in a ridiculous amount of sugar. I like candy but I don't want it in my sandwich. I got the brown sugar BLT there and actually gave the second half of it to my dog which I have...

    What would be really cool about a totally autonomous control like the one above would be that you could dynamically change the lanes in a computer somewhere and the cars would instantly know it and adjust accordingly.

    I think people talking about "fighting for your right to self drive" just lack imagination.

    I know a guy who was a Mormon missionary in Brazil and he said that they told him that if you run from the police, they can and will shoot you, but if you don't run from them, they still might shoot you.

    Smartphones

    Funny, I had some that looked *exactly* like those including color but with a different brand name. I think factories in China just crank that shit out and put random brand names on them. They were pretty good but they only last 3-4 hours on a charge. Fine if you just want to wear them while...

    Denver supposedly offered him somewhere in the neighborhood of $6M and he wouldn't take it. Like I said, the only way it would happen is if a team without a viable backup lost their QB for the season and were desperate and frankly it would probably still be a mistake.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I really think that the Kaep "dead arm" thing is just a smoke screen. He doesn't want to be on the 49ers and they don't want him there but he doesn't want to take a pay cut to go to another team and no team will pay his salary and the 49ers aren't willing to just let him walk since they have to...
