You can survive a 4 foot fall onto tile. Could you survive a ride on that thing? All I'm saying is it's a lot more complicated than you're making it out to be and whatever payloads they are going to send on that thing surviving the initial acceleration is going to have to be a major design...

I'm not saying it's impossible, I was just correcting you for saying that those sort of g's would be no problem for "properly mounted" electronics or that your cell phone would be fine being fired from a gun.

You probably didn't know this, but before I came back to the ranch I spent 10 years designing telemetry systems for bombs and missiles. I never personally did one for an artillery shell but I know people who did and dealing with the acceleration was a nightmare and dictated the entire design...

You don't know what you're talking about.

My stove has an "air fry" mode on it. I haven't used it though. I don't know what the difference is between air fry and just regular convection or if there is one.

He's got the 'Rona

There are electronics in artillery shells but I wouldn't say it's not a problem for them. The G forces are probably the primary design consideration and there are a LOT of downsides to it.

I think they really want a team in both London and Mexico City, both of which would just be a travel nightmare. I don't know why they haven't looked into Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa, and Vancouver since we already have Canadian teams in baseball and hockey and all of Canada's big cities are on...

The difference between this week and last week was the turnovers. This is the game Shanahan always wants to play but you can't do it when you're 2 scores down. Garoppolo CANNOT come from behind. Get down 14 points and let the d-line come after Jimmy and you're fucked. Get ahead by 14 and...

Gotta love the Vulcan neck pinch putting the corner in the dirt on the way to the end zone.

Tarisk vs. Muurloen - Still don't know who Tarisk is, Muurloen still sucks in the football thread Vanessa vs. lurkingdirk - Based this one on penis size Gavinmad vs. Lightning Lord Rule - The guy is an asshat, what can I say? Ossoi vs. BoozeCube - Hell of a match here. Voting for Boozie...

I was going to congratulate you on the correct spelling of my name on the bracket until I saw that it's misspelled in a new and different way in the copypasta post.

The 49ers have beaten the Rams 4 games in a row despite being the underdog in 3 of them. I'll still be pretty shocked if that streak makes it past tonight.

I didn't watch these for a long time. I guess I thought I was above it or something. When I actually watched I discovered that I was in no way above it in any way. Now any time I see one of them on flipping channels I pretty much watch.

I used to have one of those but it takes up too much room in the kitchen when you can do it just fine in a cast iron skillet, dutch oven, or my favorite, a wok which you already have.

I love old tools. 90% of the new shit is not as good as the old stuff. It's what we deserve for always buying the cheapest one.

That probably shouldn't be your goal or expectation. It's the end of a fairy tale but not how anyone actually lives. I am like you in that I can be pretty happy alone and I have done it for a lot of my adult life, but it's a pretty empty life. Having someone to take care of, and who will...

She certainly seems to be very depressed which is hardly unusual during this time. The whole covid thing has been really hard for a lot of people and you are far from alone if you lose your relationship over it. I would take what you read here with a grain of salt. It's easy for a stranger...

Chukzombi vs. Tarisk - I honestly don't know who Tarisk is but Astrocreep is certainly deserving Furry vs. Muurloen - For fagging up the football thread Hoss vs. Vanessa - Once you have your own attention whore thread it's bad form to make every other thread about you as well lurkingdirk vs...

It probably doesn't really matter. I think both of us are seriously outclassed in the next round.

I'm reserving the right to declare a mistrial because @lurkingdirk misspelled my name.

I think you can vent it out into the garage. Only downside is that your garage will smell like delicious bacon when you're cooking it inside.

What do these things cost?

When I was a kid my dad and granddad would just let their old motor oil run out on the ground too. There was a huge black spot in the yard where they changed oil in tractors, pickups, whatever. The EPA would probably order a drone strike on you for doing that now.

Wrenches. I don't really know any Germans but I suppose some people are into them.

I have 2 pairs of klein linesman pliers. Most electricians I know just call them "Kleins", even if they're a different brand. I have a craftsman pair as well and they get the job done, but the Kleins just feel so much better in your hand. Probably not worth the upgrade for something that...

I wrap mine in foil and change the foil every 2 or 3 cooks or when it starts to look real dirty. On my last cook I learned another reason to do it. I was doing a long cook on an 11 lb pork butt. The pellets ran out sooner than I expected but I thought I caught it just in time. I didn't. So...

Good point. At least it was a somewhat reasonable sized snake for Montana. The one the kid karate'd to death in the culvert in past seasons was an 8 foot long Texas monster that don't exist here.

A funny little screw up for those of us that live in MT. They said somebody had been to prison for "4 years in Texas and 3 in Red Lodge". Montana's prison is in Deer Lodge. Red Lodge is a little ski town south of Billings so it's funny to think of someone doing hard time in Red Lodge. I...

I only venture into the politics forum like once a week or so. Keeps me under the radar and I'm a nice guy everywhere else.

Yeah. Also @Kirun deserves nomination for his ignorant hot takes in the football thread at least as much as his impassioned political gibberish, but only a few of us have to suffer through both.

Never occured to me that Quantum Leap invented the handheld wireless device connected to the internet.

If you download it you get audio only I believe.

It's only fair that if you have AD on your team, at least one member of your team should have to help block him. It's only fair.

The 9ers should have won that game if they could have stopped stepping on their own dicks. We gifted them 2 touchdowns in the first half and the refs gifted them another one with that pussy ass facemask call on McCoy. Shit is hard to watch. By the time we got to Jimmy G's boneheaded...

Ryobi is made by the same company as Milwaukee. They're the homeowner version, kind of the Craftsman/Black and Decker equivalent where Milwaukee is pretty equivalent to DeWalt. This might have been posted before but it's interesting to see who makes what.

What percentage of the stuff people leave at your donation door goes into the dumpster? I have definitely known people who left stuff at the thrift store because they didn't want to haul it to the dump or pay landfill fees even though it was probably not something the thrift store could...

I think the business Jocko Willink is involved with is pretty interesting... https://originmaine.com Clothes that are fully american made. Unfortunately they are stupid expensive. I'm sure they're good quality, but I think it's always going to be a small fraction of people who are going to...
