    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    Osweiler's cap hit is $19M this year. That seems like a hefty price for your backup QB.

    NFL Postseason 2017 - Where Romo Gets His Ring

    Unfortunately I have to agree with Uber here. That's more a comment on how poor the overall QB talent in the NFL is, than who the Patriots have faced. You can do that for pretty much every team's schedule and it looks sad.

    I was pretty annoyed when they first did the kicking changes (that and the kickoffs over the years), but they're growing on me.

    Not sure about the decision to go for an onsides kick down 3 possessions with an entire quarter remaining.

    Should that be a safety? Fell on it at the 1, and then rolled into the end zone before being downed. Only argument would be that he gave himself up at the 1.

    I didn't think it was horrendous. It wasn't "good" though. Also, I think reading that it was bad probably lowered my expectations.

    AssHat of 2016 Voting Round 2

    I guess I should actually vote, too. Cad vs. popsicledeath - Kind of a coin toss on this one. LulzSect vs. Hoss - I actually am not bothered by LulzSect, but that's only because he's on ignore. I took him off once and then 5 minutes later realized that was a bad idea. Gravel vs. Tolan - Only...

    Wow, I'm the 4 seed? Nice! That said, this is a bullshit 2nd round (really first round) for me. Tolan? I never stood a chance. Bad seeding is bad.

    Home Improvement

    That's kind of what I was getting at. The weed barrier is obvious, but once dirt starts accumulating on top of it, you've got a place for weeds to grow. But sand under the rocks might be enough to dissuade weeds from growing since they won't be able to root well.

    Speaking of rock gardens, does anyone know a good way to prevent weeds in them? I haven't done it yet, but eventually I'll be xeriscaping my front yard because I'm tired of mowing the lawn there (will keep the back). But I don't want to have to pick weeds out of rocks every year that inevitably...

    How much income is enough?

    I'm government, and only making $81k. I'll be 33 this week. It's only because of combined income with my wife that we get into six figures.

    How much income is enough?

    It's actually not about living at a certain frugal-ness. It's about figuring out what you spend, and then on top of that deciding what things actually add value to your life. Like Cad said, if you need $100k in post tax income to be happy, that just means you need a larger portfolio to support...

    How much income is enough?

    I've mentioned it before, but I found Mr. Money Mustache about 2 years ago. Planning on retiring in under 7 years, before my 40th birthday. My wife and I have never really had a high income. In our early 20s I was enlisted in the Army and so she never had steady employment. I got out in 2008...

    Holy shit, thank you! I didn't even consider that the garage might have one, and that it'd be on the same circuit. What an easy, super obvious fix.

    I just went and played a few co-op bot games after watching the video below. Try to remember as many combos as you can and chain them together. I'd say you'll need several games of practice to start really "getting it," but once you hit an awesome combo that damn near wipes the opposing team...

    Sean Taylor was another one. I have no idea how the fuck he did it, but he's constantly be on the opposite side of the field and close the gap on a ball to bat it away or intercept it. Just ridiculous speed.

    Makes me wish I'd have been able to see Shanahan coach Cousins, whom rumors have it, is the QB he really wanted (and not RG3). Kyle came up with an amazing offense for RG3, and I think he's pretty talented at calling an offense.

    I watched the first episode and hated it. It just seemed...I don't know, like it was trying too hard? I know the series pre-dates Pushing Daisies, but it seemed like a bad copycat. Feels like another in a string of misses this year for Netflix. Also, McCheese, it seems like the bulk of people...

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I don't think the Redskins can afford to keep both Jackson and Garcon, so it's probably a good chance. Plus they just drafted Doctson last year, and Crowder has been amazing. My guess is the Redskins go with Garcon, Doctson, and Crowder as their 1, 2, 3, and let Jackson go.

    Negative, still haven't figured it out. House was built in 1989, and I'm not sure when GFI became standard code. Like I said, the only GFI I have found in our entire house is one outlet in the kitchen. I haven't had time to really test out all of the circuits, and the person who labelled them...
