    Same here. I'm not going to Mars until there's something to do there. Right now you're pretty much volunteering to spend years in a Winnebago with a bunch of strangers. Sure you have an extremely unique view out the window but I bet that starts to get less exciting before too many years go by.

    If you were wondering if the board had the requisite number of people who hate the female character for this show, the answer is yes.

    Apparently they're not raising their prices at all so I can just cancel my $6.99 a month subscription to Discovery+ and have it all in one app now.

    The Americans

    Yeah, great show but I don't think it has any modern day influence. One thing that you should know is that the show is as much about the relationship between the two main characters and their kids as it is about the spy shit. There's a fair amount of action but it's not 24 or even Homeland...

    Sorry for a 3rd off-topic post but I found an article about it. Apparently they didn't shoot as many as I remembered but it was still a pretty shitty thing. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/05/23/fire-abatement-goats-shot-dead-in-oakland-hills/

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    When I lived in California there were some people using goats for brush mitigation and some asshole came by during the night with a .22 and killed all 40 of them. No clue if they thought they had some political beef with the project or if they were just psychopaths.

    The scavenger thing is also not really unusual although I can't say I understand why. I had 3 cows die in the same pasture this winter and 2 of them were reduced to bones in a week or two while the third one nothing touched and now a couple of months later she looks like a mummy because her...

    Whiteside is a good name for router bits. Freud is another big name. If you are just using it for a project the Chinese version will probably get the job done but I did have one violently change shape on me once during heavy use which was pretty scary.

    I saw that the New York Times is very concerned that a bunch of dirt fell on the "delicate ecosystem" at Boca Chica. Sounds like the new Deepwater Horizon.

    It does except for the fact that SF has no draft picks to trade for him and no money to pay him. From a football standpoint it would be awesome.

    I want to see him get one more chance personally. Let him start the first 3 or 4 games and see how he does. If he stinks it up, the team is good enough to stay in games anyway and Purdy can come in and he can go be a backup somewhere. If he's good, let him roll. I don't think he has that...

    My 5a doesn't have wireless charging but on the recommendation of someone here I bought one of those little stickers that lets your phone charge wirelessly. Bonus is that having a connector in your USB-C port all the time keeps it nice and clean so if you do need to use it for something it...

    Zero chance he moves unless someone went hog wild convinced that he was the man. Teams are probably offering 4th rounder for him and SF would be stupid to take it unless it was at least a first given their QB situation. I'd be very surprised if he is not a Niner next year.

    My girlfriend makes great pot roasts in the instapot. When I have tried to do it, they sucked. I haven't bothered to get her to teach me because I'd rather just use the slow cooker. Nothing better than coming in the door after a long day of work and smelling your pot roast that's ready to eat.

    This is also why pork shoulder blade steaks are better than loin chops. I don't understand why the steaks are cheaper than the chops but I'm glad they are.

    I find that the tenderloins aren't bad just grilled but the loin is just too lean. I like the idea of pounding it out for schnitzel though. Might give that a shot.

    What do you do with pork loin? I always want to buy it because it's so cheap but there is no drier, less flavorful piece of meat on the planet. Even chicken breast has more flavor than that shit.

    The places that have closed here say it's because they can't get workers. Even paying $16, $17, and $18 an hour McDonald's is drive thru only for a lot of the day. Dining room only stays open from 11-7 because they only have workers for 1 shift. A KFC/A&W combo opened and then closed a year...

    I wish he would have Alan Savory on to talk about regenerative agriculture. He's had Joel Salatin and Will Harris on and they mentioned Savory but apparently he didn't take the hint. With Harris especially he kept asking questions that I was thinking "You should be asking Alan Savory this!".

    I'm sure $16 is the price with ads. I'm currently paying $15.99 for HBO Max with no Ads and $6.99 for Discovery Plus with no ads so $20/month for the no ads version would be a savings for me.

    Why subscribe to YTTV? Do you just like flipping channels or what? I had it for a free trial and didn't see what made it worth having, let alone paying $70 a month for.

    $389 is a no-go for me. I might pay $250 but I'm not subscribing to YouTube TV for $70 a month. I hope no one signs up and they have to make some more reasonable deals. I'll just keep watching the games after they're over on the NFL app for $10 a month.

    It all depends on how the contracts were made with the company when the line was laid. I don't know if that agreement would have been with the city or what. Seems like it would be worth a try to get them to contribute but it's hard to say if it will work. I know in agricultural land the...

    I have a friend that makes falafel which is good but she always serves it with tahini. I understand that is traditional but I used to get it with tzatziki when I lived in the city and it's just such a superior condiment to either tahini or hummus.

    The other nice thing about propane is that it doesn't go bad sitting in the tank like gasoline. If you're keeping the generator around for an "oh shit" moment it's safer than having to remember to swap out your gas can once a year or whatever. I have a dual fuel propane/gasoline generator and...
