    Home Security systems....

    Unless you have bars on your windows upgrading either your locks or your doors seems like a waste. 90% of houses are no harder to open than breaking a piece of glass. In my neighborhood most people don't even have locks on their doors and if you locked the door on my house I would have to...

    They really need to invent dogs that live for 75 years. My dog is only 6 but I'm already dreading him getting old.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Does the buzz keep working if you smoke them regularly? When I experimented with dipping in high school I got a big buzz the first few times but after a couple weeks it went away.

    I have owned several refurbs and every one of them had problems within a couple months. Fuck that. I swear that half of the refurbs are ones that people sent in because they had some intermittent problem and somebody turned them on, said "looks good to me" and sent them back out. I wouldn't...

    Japanese Knives are sharper and generally higher quality steel than the German ones. The German ones are beefier if you want to beat on them. I love my Shuns but they are expensive.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I have done that lots of times. Water balloons were pretty much the only use I had for condoms in high school. BTW, if you have never filled a condom with water you should. They are amazing.

    Yeah, I have smoked a few cigars and it always seemed like a bizarre activity to me. The stink is pretty unbelievable. I wish pipe smoking was cool because those things smell great.

    Home Security systems....

    Garages that are barely wide enough for the cars are a pet peeve of mine because even when there is no room people still try to store shit in them. I know so many people that have shit piled all down the center of their 2-car garage with zero extra space in it so you have to walk sideways to...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I pretty much always get some fast food when I'm in town, which is every 7-14 days on average. Sometimes I will go twice if I'm in there through lunch and dinner time. Sometimes I'll even wait until 3 or 4 PM to eat lunch just so I can get my drive-thru hamburger fix. Yes I have a problem.

    Virtual Reality

    I guess the hololens didn't make it along with all of the other supplies. I have been playing around with Google Cardboard lately and it's neat but the picture is pretty terrible. Is it safe to assume that Occulis Rift et al have a considerably better picture than cardboard?

    The main problem with the pull out method is that people don't do it. Same problem with condoms, the pill, etc.

    The only reason to shoot him with a non-lethal round is as a "message". Perhaps they want to let him know that bad things are going to happen if he sticks his nose in the wrong place but they're not actually to the point of straight-up murdering a cop.

    A lot of steak houses put butter on their steaks. As I always say, you can't make anything worse with cream, butter, or bacon. I throw butter in the pan cooking various things if I just want them to brown well. Butter makes shit brown.

    My son's friend hit's his mother...Mother kicks son out. Now friend over my house.

    Being home during the day isn't exactly the same as leaving a 10 year old and a couple younger kids alone overnight. If it was me I would definitely consider a call to CPS. If it's the first time anyone has complained she's not going to lose the kids. If it's not the first time then maybe she...

    Alright bros, I think after using charcoal only for the last 8-10 years it's time for me to have a gas grill again. I love charcoal but I just never grill anymore when I have to spend an hour getting the grill up to temp and dealing with ashes and shit. If I'm going to have an actual barbecue...

    Home Security systems....

    I just feel like if you live in a nice neighborhood then break ins are extremely rare and break ins that would be stopped by a burglar alarm are probably even rarer. I lived in big cities for 13 years and the only person I was aware of whose house was broken into was a drug dealer.

    Home Security systems....

    Why do you need a security system? Seems to me like they are annoying about 500 times for every time they do anything helpful. This does sound better to me than the ones where you get locked in to stupidly expensive monitoring contracts though.

    Brahma - My only concern with your parenting skills is the fact that you ask for advice on this board. It sounds like you are a good guy and you are going above and beyond to try to help this kid which is admirable.

    I rarely use my kitchenaid mixer but it's because I don't bake. I have used my immersion blender maybe 3 times total but I don't make soup that much. Not sure what else that thing is for. I don't use my mandolin ever because it is a piece of shit that didn't cut well the day I got it. Fuck...

    Just eat a chimichanga with a blow dryer on high right in your face and you pretty much have the Phoenix experience. Seriously though, I lived in Phoenix for 3 years and never really found anything worth doing except driving through Sedona and visiting the Grand Canyon.
