Forecast calls for a high of 45 on Monday. That's a 75 degree swing from the low on Sunday night. Seems excessive. EDIT: That's from the previous Sunday. It's a big swing in a week but I realized my original post makes it sound like it happened overnight.

Moving because of Disney World? Isn't there someplace in Hawaii where you can eat a churro while standing in line for 2 hours for a 4 minute ride?

It's pretty rare to see a pickup with a crew cab and a long bed but they do exist. They are kind of awkwardly long at that point though, especially if you ever need to park in an urban area. My grocery getter is a crew cab F-150 with an ecoboost engine. The bed is 6 feet I think but you can...

Better her than my mom and my mom ain't bad!

I know this isn't the cooking thread, but celery is an integral part of both mirepoix and the holy trinity. It's a base flavor in all kinds of soups and sauces all over the world. You deserve to get noodled for that. My sister agrees with you though.

Super pure water won't turn solid because it lacks a nucleation site. You could have poured it out and witnessed a popular high school science fair project.

Sure, but it's not like he just sold the rights and walked away. Obviously TV has limitations that books don't and various things were changed to accommodate those limitations, but if he really just let the TV writers go hog wild with his signature property then that's on him. I think the much...

It's been a warm, dry winter in Montana... until this week. Got to spend an hour standing out in the wind this morning thawing out a windmill with a propane torch which was just awesome.

^^ This. Vegas sets odds based on what will make them the most money, not who they actually think is going to win.

Martin was very involved in the making of the TV show. I doubt he just said "this is how it ends, figure it out suckers LOL!"

The smart money is on Garappolo being the QB in SF for at least one more year. I'm guessing they draft a CB at #12 or possibly trade down and get one later in the first round. They don't like drafting CBs high but they really need to do something to address that position for next year...

I would probably be down with that depending on how long after it was. I generally do some work on Sunday afternoon and DVR the game so I can watch it in the evening and fast forward the commercials. I can hardly stand to watch a game live anymore. Just have to remember to stay off of social...

I have always said that if 80% of people wouldn't think I was insane because of it, I would put being the leader of a raiding guild on my resume. I learned so much about dealing with people from doing that.

Martyrmade is fantastic. If you're interested in the guy who makes it, he did a long interview on Jocko Willink's podcast that was pretty good.

How many nfl games do they have? Is it just what would be on TV in your area? I really wish there was a way to pay for all the games for a single team. I would happily pay $50-$100 to just stream the 49ers game every week.

I knew that, but I thought I had been seeing full episodes in video form on YouTube lately. I only listened to one but I thought it was all there.

I really hate the spotify app. It especially works badly in areas with bad cell coverage which is where I spend most of my time. That said I've listened to quite a few episodes that I enjoyed since the move. Still skip all the actors and comedians. Is it just me or are Sam Harris' podcasts...

I too sent $100 to the richest man in the world today. It said "mid to late 2021" for me too, but from what I've seen that's what they're saying to everyone. Called up Viasat and verified that my contract is fulfilled so they can kiss my ass goodbye the day Dishy arrives. If I can find a...

I don't know. After the NFC Championship Arians talked like Tom Brady was the actual head coach of the team and he was just along for the ride. It could be true but it seemed like a strange thing to say on television if you want to keep having your job.

I liked Diet Coke with Lime too. Then they changed it to ginger lime which was still okay. Can't get either anymore. Mello Yello zero is good if live somewhere that has Mello Yello. Mtn Dew Zero is really good if you like Mtn Dew, but it kind of disappeared when the aluminum shortage started...

The thing about "Now when Mahomes gets his 7th superbowl win Brady will have the tie breaker!!!" was over the top silly, but Mahomes is unbelievable and you can't deny it if you watch him play. He's the best I've seen since Aaron Rodgers.

Find an American football team anywhere in the world that can even play competitively with any NFL team and then maybe you can contest the "World Champs" assertion.

There's a pretty good psychological literature backing up this statement. I always recommend this podcast to people and then they don't listen to it...

If you really need precision use super glue. If that's not strong enough then some sort of epoxy. There's a lot of good options. If you just have a small bead that sticks up in the air it will come off like your father in law said. If you put on so much that it loses its surface tension and...

Sadre is one of the more sensical posters we have. He does LARP from time to time, but IMO it's not hard to tell when that's going on. Certainly more interesting to read than the repetitive blowhardiness that is so popular around here these days.

This is true of a lot of crimes. I had a druggie cousin that got caught stealing like....so many times. It was probably his 25 or 30th time getting caught that he actually spent a month in jail. If you're not violent they really don't want to put you in jail.

I'm posting this to inspire you, not to shame you. 360 nuggets in an hour and 15 minutes.

A lot of people would say that if you're outlining your story then it's not an artistic pursuit. That's not to say that you can't go "I'm going to write this" and then write it and the result would have some value, and I'm sure a large percentage of genre books are produced this way, but that's...

I like Wentz. I kind of hope he winds up somewhere that can straighten out whatever apparent mental problems he's having because he was obviously very talented at one point and he's young enough that he could play for a long time if he can get his head straight.

King gets pigeonholed as a horror writer but he's pretty legit and he has some great books that aren't horror at all.

Looks like the "unlimited" plan throttles you after 35 gigs and doesn't let you watch video in hd. I don't know how that compares to the TMobile unlimited plan but the price is pretty compelling.

My grandfather used to tell a story of when he was in Air Force boot camp in San Antonio and it snowed. He said you could stand on any street corner and hear the cars smacking into each other every time the light changed.

Even in places that have winter every year the first day or two of icy roads is always a shit show. You kind of lose your muscle memory for it over the summer.

I know there's some good MVNOs on T-Mobile. I looked into google fi but it seems like it's only a good deal if you don't use much data.

I once jumped up and down on the end of a 6 foot cheater trying to get a lug nut loose on a truck until I actually sheared off a ¾" extension. Didn't budge the nut either. Had to go get the acetylene torch after that.

Maybe the tv show was exactly how he was planning on ending it so now he's shitting his pants trying to write an ending where Jon and Dany live happily ever after ruling the world and making beautiful babies together.

Also the jaws stay parallel unlike channel locks. Channel locks will damage the nut/bolt head. These will not. They're not for the same jobs.

Because a 1st and a 3rd didn't get it done presumably.

Speaking of nice tools, I recently became aware of these: They call it a "pliers wrench" and it's basically a replacement for a crescent wrench except that once you set the size, it actually stays that size unlike every crescent wrench I've ever owned so you don't have to keep adjusting it...

I haven't had much cell coverage at my house either but there is a new T-Mobile tower that was installed in my general area but hasn't been turned on yet that I think might be an option. Once I hear that it's activated (it was built like 9 months ago, I don't know what they're waiting for) I...
