    The Fast Food Thread

    Based on this thread I bought a 6 pack of those "2X Spicy" hot chicken ramen. The first one I didn't think was really much different than the regular, but I had one yesterday that wasn't fucking around. Nose was running, tears were flowing, and I was resisting the urge to touch my eyes at all...

    Has Sam Harris stuck to his plan of only providing the first 30 minutes of his shows for free? Has he said if it was working? I only listened to it when he had a guest I really liked and would never pay for it but when I heard about that scheme it sounded kind of nuts to me.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I listened to No Agenda for a couple years. I think Curry is off his rocker half the time but he's very entertaining. I liked Dvorak even more but I eventually fell off for the same reasons as LiquidDeath. They're a little too far out for me or at least Adam was and the talk about money all...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Andre Agassi was on crystal meth during part of his career. I heard an interview with him once and the interviewer asked if it was a performance enhancer. He said no, it was a huge performance reducer.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The only thing that's worse than mock drafts is after the draft when all the same people who were doing the mock drafts give the teams "grades" based on whether they followed their mock drafts or not.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It makes sense for Brady. He grew up in the Bay Area and was a 49er fan as a kid, and it would give him a shot at another ring. It doesn't make sense for the 49ers at all.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah, it hardly seems like an upgrade. Garoppolo is no Tom Brady in his prime, but neither is Tom Brady.

    I made it like 3 episodes with sword and scale. Didn't find anything entertaining about it, just depressing. All the women in my family seem to love it though.

    Home Improvement

    Just finished priming my whole upstairs with one of these. My renters left it in the garage when they moved out for some reason. I don't think I would have ever thought to buy one (they're around $200) but since it was here I decided to give it a shot. Had some trouble getting it going and...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Yeah, my mom and step dad have Dish and they couldn't watch half of the playoffs or the superbowl. It was a bonus for me since my step dad is a Packer's fan and I'm a 49ers fan so I got to text him updates throughout the 9ers destroying the Packers in the NFC championship game. Of course he got...

    A request. It would be cool if you post these episodes you would also copy/paste the show notes/description from YouTube below the video so we have some idea who these people are.

    McMillion$ (HBO Documentary)

    I have episodes 2-4 on my DVR now but fucking HBO won't reair the first episode. I know I'm just supposed to stream it but I live in the internet desert and every other show they replay a hundred times every week.

    That is an outrageous price for a 200 watt solar panel. Check Ebay. I think you should be able to get that for under $200. Maybe under $100.

    Toastmasters

    I haven't been to an actual toastmasters club, but I had a speech class in college that was done in the format of toastmasters and I it was really fun. Kind of made me want to join a club although I never did.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Sounds interesting but I wonder how much difference it will make. The 6 seed very rarely goes anywhere in the playoffs and presumably the 7 seed will do even worse but I guess it will give good teams that are in a tough division a better chance to get in.

    Depending on what screen door you have they're usually just a couple hundred bucks and you can easily replace it yourself if you're not totally hopeless working with your hands. I don't think I'd get insurance involved.

    That is one downside of small business. You don't *have* to work all the time, but when you don't know what the next month is going to bring it's hard to say no to anything.

    I am being given a business

    It sounds like there's not much capital involved in this business. What you're getting is mostly just the name and the reputation/connections as well as training from the guy? That definitely makes it lower risk. With a farm or ranch there's a multi-million dollar piece of property involved...

    I am being given a business

    Whether this goes good or bad is all about your relationship with the guy. This happens with farms and ranches sometimes where a guy is getting old and doesn't have kids or his kids don't want to be farmers so he takes some young couple under his wing and promises to give them the ranch when...

    Is this the 4th launch? So there will be 240 up there? I heard they're thinking of doing an IPO on starlink. It would be tempting to put a grand or two into them just in case they change the world. It's hard to see how it won't be transformational tech if it works and they have a huge...

    I love my Mini-14 ranch rifle. Be sure to get one that can handle 5.56 because some can't. Cheap, reliable, and you don't look exactly like everyone else with an AR.

    "Good" and "ground meat jerky" are antonyms in my opinion. Make some burgers and then slice some meat for jerky.

    Being hot water won't help you with freezing. It's only hot for about 15 minutes after you run some hot water unless you have one of those circulator pumps. I doubt it will be a problem but if you're worried about it put that foam that Lanx linked over it.

    Multiple people have done this, and none of them had results like Spurlock's. It was bullshit. People talk about "fast food" as if it's a type of food and not a type of restaurant. The food is bread/meat/cheese/veggies just like every other restaurant. It's not a particularly healthy diet...

    Haven't seen the doc but the chicken processors do have the farmers under their thumb in a big way. It's looked at as a cautionary tale for those of us in the beef industry all the time. Tyson or whoever provides the chicks, and tells the farmer what to feed, how to take care of them, when to...

    I'm not a regular nugget eater, but at least a couple times a year I'll get a 20 piece and pound it in the car. I like strips too, but almost never go for a chicken sandwich. When I finish one I always think "That could have been a burger".

    2020 Academy Awards - No Willem Dafoe The Lighthouse nom

    For the most part, I find that there are plenty of movies to watch that are in english already so you can avoid both subtitles and dubbing which both suck. The only movie that I can think of that I really loved that wasn't in english was Pan's Labyrinth.
