    Count me among those that has no idea what is going on. I don't think it's really because it's so complicated, it just doesn't hold my attention.

    BattleBots

    I saw that Tombstone uses a roller chain to drive his blade. I wonder if he ever tried it with a belt instead. It seems like if the belt had the ability to slip a little it would keep it from wrenching his own bot so hard when the blade hit something although there would be a slight decrease...

    My Mom has like 21 chickens which is too damn many. We get like 18 eggs a day. I honestly don't know what she does with them all but she has people that take them. I always take the freshest ones though, because I have to feed the damn things half the time and I'm not doing that to eat old eggs.

    Gold: Panning, Prospecting, Treasure Hunting

    My uncle is into it. After messing around with it off and on for like 10 years he has collected something like a half teaspoon worth of gold dust. If you're thinking you want to make money at it you better hope to be a lot better at it than he is.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I was thinking the same thing. I heard a podcast once where one of the guys on it was talking about being a server at Olive Garden and one of the waitresses coming to the back, saying "I hate this family" and then taking a bread stick, shoving it down the back of her pants and pulling it out...

    The fact that it has a gasoline engine is also pretty cool. For some reason I still think Tombstone is going to win though, it just seems like a more solidly built machine. BTW, that first video of Tombstone losing was awesome.

    It seems like a super low flipper bot might be able to get under the big blade. I think I would almost be tempted to put some sort of sacrificial armor on the front to absorb the first blow and then hope you can recover faster than tombstone does and get behind him for a flip or something...

    When you poach eggs it's very important that the eggs be fresh or they just spread out all over the pan. Fresh eggs kind of hold together. If you poach eggs much you get to the point where you can tell whether it's fresh enough to poach just from looking at it when you break it into a cup or...

    Does anyone have a good cheap aftermarket wall charger that they use? I mostly just use ones that come with my phones and they mostly seem pretty good but all the ones that you see in stores seem to be total shit as far as I can tell. I found thiscar chargerthat is cheap but reliable and...

    I used to go to Subway from time to time but my last few visits I was very unsatisfied with both the sandwich I got and the price I paid. One thing I miss about California was going to Togo's for hot pastrami sandwiches so when Subway introduced the "big hot pastrami" I couldn't get there fast...

    I liked the gunfight except for the 80's movie trope where the gangsters have full autos and they shoot them non-stop for 30 seconds between reloads. For reference, this is how long it takes to empty a magazine on full auto.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    I'm glad to see I'm not the only one that gets triggered by Bill Maher. I even agree with him a fair amount of the time but he's so condescending that I can't listen to him talk for 5 minutes without wanting to break my TV. Bill O'Reilly is the same way FWIW.

    Home Security systems....

    UPS used to make me so angry when I was an apartment dweller. USPS would leave stuff at the office but UPS wouldn't. They would come by at the same time every day when I was definitely going to be at work and even if I told them to leave it half the time they wouldn't and I would wind up...

    I had the Arby's BLT today which is just an assload of their new brown sugar bacon with lettuce/tomato/mayo on the bun. The picture looked amazing but sadly I did not enjoy it. There was just WAY too much brown sugar on that bacon and it totally overpowered everything else. I felt like I was...

    You sound like you have a problem with authority. I have modded several boards and being a moderator is just a big shit sandwich to eat every day. There is not really any upside to it. It might sound fun if you have never done it but it's just a lot of work and a lot of listening to people...

    I'm still liking my Moto X. Camera is pretty weak in low light but that's my only real compliant. I was getting pretty butthurt for a while because I thought my charging plug was going bad but it turned out it was just jammed full of lint.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    I agree with this, they have to pay him. It seems like these days if your QB is a competent starter in the NFL you have to pay him big bucks because there just aren't enough of those guys to go around. I also supported the 49ers paying Kaepernick because the question isn't really whether he's...

    You can tell it not to suggest a word but as soon as you type that word again it goes back into the dictionary and it will suggest it again. If I type "po" into mine it suggests pornhub every time even though I have repeatedly asked it to forget that word.

    Wilson was 20th in the league in completion percentage last year, 15th in passing yards, 8th in yards per attempt, 16th in touchdowns, 23rd in yards/game. The only stat that he is "elite" in is rushing yards. Obviously he's not a stand in the pocket type of QB and his qualities are a little...

    Newbie question. I got another cheap quad copter and I'm trying to get better at flying it. Should I be able to fine tune it to the point where if I just push the left stick forward it will fly straight up and hover? It seems like no matter what I do it wanders off in one direction or another.

    I've been reading forums daily for 17 years now, starting with usenet and I have seen so many of them blow up like this (including FOH). It seems like admins always eventually decide that it is "their" site and forget that without the community it is worthless. It is possible to have a...

    I don't have any teams I like other than my team but I do have players that I like and I root for their teams to win when they're not playing my team. I also pick a team to root for during the playoffs as soon as my team is out of it.

    Smokers / Grills

    It's just another burner that's a little hotter than the other ones and right in between two other burners so it makes a spot that's really hot. I haven't actually cooked a steak on mine yet but I'm guessing it probably sears steaks better than if it wasn't there.
