    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I wonder if any of them are using it as leverage for contract negotiations or thinking it will be a chance to get off of a bad team or actually let a nagging injury heal all the way.

    Maybe someone will have a cool trick for you but sometimes it's just about staying focused and doing the shitty job until it's done. I have a friend whose favorite saying is "work smarter, not harder" and the result is he never gets anything done. Sometimes it's just about shutting off your...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I am in love with my Cuisinart toaster oven. Haven't hardly turned on my big oven since I got it. In addition to about 100 other things, it makes perfect toast, up to 6 slices at a time, and the whole floor of it slides out so you can clean it in 10 seconds. For some reason the price has...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I don't see why the NFL would freak out about 40 players across 32 teams when every one of those teams has to cut 27 players between now and the start of the season anyway.

    ^^ Good advice. Nothing you're going to do is going to make this into a good deal, just pay it off as fast as you can to at least cut down on the interest you're going to pay. I'm all about saving up and buying used cars from craigslist for cash. If I never set foot in a dealership or sign on...

    Briggs and Stratton make a real reliable small engine too. We have a lot of stuff with small engines and I used to try hard to get Honda but we have 3 or 4 Briggs and Stratton tools and if anything they are better than the Honda's for pulling the generator or the transfer pump or whatever out...

    I think that's very pessimistic. The decks on my house were replaced like 6 years ago and they need resealing but nothing is rotting. The wood decks they replaced were 35 years old. I'm sure some people would have replaced them sooner but 3-4 years is ridiculous.

    I think that stuff is more for basement cracks where water is going to be coming in through them. On an exterior wall I think you could just shove some spackle in the cracks and paint it.

    That's impressive but here's Molly Schuyler casually eating one that's 50% larger in the same amount of time. I swear she is not human. I find this post to be judgemental and very much against the spirit of the fast food thread. The only one who should feel shame is you.

    You can't help these people. They don't want help, and they won't take it. There are exceptions of course, but my sister is a social worker and there are just a lot of people who you either just leave on the street or do what they did in the old days and put them in a straight jacket in a...

    My policy with non-stick pans was always to just get a $15 T-fal at Walmart and when it stopped being non-stick use it for target practice (they have a bullseye and everything) and buy a new one. Haven't seen much evidence that more expensive ones are actually better or last longer but I...

    I always wash my pans while they're still a little bit hot from the stove. If they get cool I heat them back up. When the pan is warm usually just running water over it will get most of the stuff off. If something is stuck on I use a little chainmail scourer to get it off. It's true that a...

    The best part was Joe asking him if he would ever do a film on the Epstein stuff. Dude couldn't change the subject fast enough. This guy is always looking for conspiracies but with Epstein it's "It's not interesting to me. It doesn't make sense. There's nothing there."

    Interesting. When you said concrete walls I was thinking it was an insulated concrete form house but those usually just have standard framed walls in the interior.

    My sister in law loves the mcrib and even gets excited when the hospital where she works has a knock off mcrib at the cafeteria. I don't get it. I have one about every 5 years just to remind myself that they aren't good.

    This isn't news. Revisionist history. Big picture Smith was the better quarterback but Kaepernick tore up the playoffs that year. Alex Smith never tore anything up except his own knee that one time. He is smart to look for a trade if he's hoping to cash in on his great season last...

    Yeah I started reading about the time Wizard and Glass came out and I loved it. Probably one of my favorite SK books. I can see how it would be frustrating if you waited for years though and it didn't advance the story at all. Because of Wheel of Time and the Dark Tower, I refused to read A...

    Do you go to the TV threads and post about shows you don't watch too? I don't give a shit about the politics of the players, coaches, or league. If you have to agree politically with people to watch the entertainment that they produce then you are going to be pretty limited in what you can...

    https://amazingribs.com/tested-recipes/spice-rubs-and-pastes/meatheads-memphis-dust-rub-recipe This is the one I use. Nice thing about it is there's no salt in it so you can salt the ribs in advance and then just apply the rub right before you put them in the smoker.

    I thought that it was interesting that the slaver companies tried to rationalize what they did because they said plantation slaves had a better life than where they came from in Africa. You can't just set aside the fact that you are property being forced to work against your will, but on the...

    Sherman also took a low dollar, incentive laden contract because he was on the older side and coming off of a serious injury. Seems pretty similar to Cam's contract. And yeah, that transcendent talent hasn't been seen for a while, and there's a pretty valid concern whether a guy that's in his...
