I would definitely check it out. You said it just has a shallow well jet pump above the ground right? Those are like $150 and even if all you do with it is water the lawn it would be worth it to save money on municipal water. You should definitely have it tested before you drink much of it...

It's electric wires that are plastered onto the ceiling. I do think the liquid under the floor version is probably more efficient although you have to worry about leaks then. Nobody does the electric radiant heat anymore I think because electricity has gotten more expensive than it was in the...

I think projector's time has passed. Sure a 100" picture is cool but I've never seen one that looked very good and it seems like in a couple of years you will be able to get a 90" flat panel for under $1000.

It actually works really well but it's pretty expensive. There's a thermostat in every room and it stays nice and warm without the noise and dust from the forced air. People think that heat rises but it's actually hot air that rises. Heat radiates from the ceiling to the objects in the room...

Radiant heat in the ceiling and a wood stove.

How do you like the ductless? Do you mean a mini-split? I'm thinking about doing that in my house since there's no ducts. Right now I just have a window unit and you don't need a whole lot of ac in Montana but after it being in the 90s for the last 10 days or so I could wish for more than the...

I don't know what is in that nacho cheese sauce but if it's significantly less expensive than refried beans I find that concerning.

What in the fuck are you even talking about? Justice isn't complicated, implementation is. Is it your opinion that if someone can get away with a crime, then justice has been done? This nonsense about pizza is just words that don't apply to what I'm talking about. Justice means finding the...

Someone being punished for a crime that they committed is justice, regardless of how it came to happen. A guilty person going free for lack of evidence is not justice, it's just what we have to accept in our imperfect system because the alternative is worse. If you disagree with that then I...

i don't understand why you keep arguing with me. I mentioned your objections in both of my posts. I have said repeatedly that we can't accept that behavior even if there's technically a good reason for it. All I'm saying is that things aren't black and white in real life.

Nah, domestic ducks are just like chickens in that they will stay within a couple hundred yards of the house and go inside at night. Unless you have predators coming into your yard in broad daylight or the house won't keep predators out at night they should be fine. Not to say that weird stuff...

Don't be a faggot. I didn't say it was the right thing to do. There's definitely cases though where a cop knows the truth but doesn't have proof of it, so they cheat. The perp is guilty of the crime he was arrested for, he's just too slick for the cops to build a case against. What the cops...

WTF does this have to do with cooking? There's a thread for talking about pretentious restaurant food.

I'm not really a fan of pneumatic tools. I haven't had very many of them but I don't really see the upside. I have both corded and cordless electric impact wrenches and such and they work fine and you don't have a noisy ass air compressor running all the time or deal with hoses being too short...

You can't get sentimental in the NFL, but I think you pay some guys. Kittle besides being amazing on the field is great in the locker room too. He is an inspiration to other guys on the team and makes it fun to be a 49er. In theory yeah, everyone is replaceable with a younger cheaper option...

There's a reason that "bird brained" isn't a compliment.

Yeah, some of that stuff gets dicey. Like you hear about a cop planting evidence drugs on somebody which is wrong but then you find out that the guy is a known drug dealer and even though the cops were legally and morally in the wrong, he was definitely guilty of what he got arrested for.

There's a guy on YouTube called french drain man. I watched a bunch of his videos last fall. Haven't actually put one in but he seems pretty legit. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs09Xm81fnqfuilUKJvKyPw

That's not surprising. I wished Joe would have asked them how often they are lied to and if they've ever been fooled.

I thought it was pretty good. I'm pretty sure things aren't as cut and dried as they make it out to be, but I think for the most part they're doing the lord's work.

That's an interesting idea. How big are the holes? Quarter inch? Eighth? I guess my worry would be water coming in at certain times of the year.

6 months ago I moved my water heater from one end of the basement to the other because I was remodeling down there and wound up re-plumbing the whole house pretty much (supply side only). When I was unhooking the (15 year old) water heater my girlfriend was like "Don't you think you should just...

It's a proud San Francisco tradition to not enforce the law. In totally unrelated news, the city is full of drugs, prostitutes, and homeless people. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/bny4g5/social-work-in-the-tenderloin-will-kill-something-inside-of-you Quite a...

Because they're ideological radicals. "Innocence" might mean different things to different people. I'm not saying they are, I'm just curious.

I'm sure it's possible but in my 43 years of being around chickens I've never seen a hawk anywhere near a chicken and there are lots of hawks around here.

You can let them roam around the yard. They won't go far and usually predators won't bother them close to the house in daylight. They need to be shut up at night though in a critter proof house or they will be dinner for raccoons or foxes or whatever else might wander through. They even have...

I haven't listened yet but I wondered the same thing. Are they as committed to keeping guilty people in jail as getting innocent ones out? Or are they just trying to get anyone they can out of prison?

I think the narrative about how rental cars are "abused" is overblown. I used to rent cars all the time and while there's a chance someone went joyriding in it, 99% of rental cars are being driven by business travelers who drive it from the airport, to a hotel, to a job, and back to the...

Don't do the ice through the door with the freezer on the bottom. My mom has that and since she is always opening the door the ice gets all hairy and turns into one big block. I have the ice maker in the freezer drawer and it's always perfect. Not like it's that hard to open the freezer when...

I had a similar situation in my basement. I just framed a wall across one end of it about 9 feet out. Hung the tv on the new wall and put an electronics cabinet on the other side. My water system is on one end and the rest of it is storage shelves and a pantry with a spare fridge and freezer...

That's part of it but he's also lazy as fuck and has no resilience once he hits an obstacle. He just quits. A few years ago another neighbor cut hay on the part of his place that we don't lease. They split the bales with him 50/50 and took their half and left his sitting in the field. 30ish...

Dr. Debra Soh is a former sex researcher, neuroscientist, columnist, and podcast host. Her new book The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Society is now available. Anyone who gives Joe shit over this is a radical. Yes some people are trans but you probably...

Mike Baker is a former CIA covert operations officer. Currently he is the president of Diligence LLC, a global intelligence and security firm. His new show “Black Files Declassified” is now available on the Science Channel. I was a little bored with this one.

David Choe is an American painter, muralist, explorer, adventurer, podcaster, graffiti artist and graphic novelist from Los Angeles, CA. This is a crazy one. I'm not sorry I listened but I'm not sure if I recommend it. Lots of wild stories, a fair amount of crying, basically a 4-hour therapy...

The black package is 1x spicy. The 2x package is red. I wouldn't say it's actually twice as hot but it's very spicy. Enough to get the snot running anyway.

Yeah but maybe if I got a new contract this year I might be motivated to play instead of sitting out. I wonder if they opt out of they can change their mind later in the year.

The epoxy crack injection is for basement walls where water might come through the cracks. Probably overkill for just a cosmetic crack. Just get some caulk in there to fill the gap and paint it. No need to overthink it. That quikrete stuff from the video looks good.

Talk to your family about the service. Funerals aren't for the person who died, they're for the family. It's good of you to give them permission to not have a service and that you're not expecting anything, but at that point it's their money and they can do what they want with it. For some...

Nice. I've watched a few of that guy's videos but I haven't seen that one. This story probably isn't interesting, but I had to get it off my chest.

Or to have the ability to watch a character driven show. It's been demonstrated in many threads that a good percentage of this board doesn't have the attention span to watch a show that has character development and there's not a simple conflict and resolution or at least a cliffhanger in every...
