    Bandwagon's Drones Thread

    This might be a good thread to ask. Is there a reasonably easy way to make a large print from google earth? I would like to make an overlay that shows the fence lines and pasture names of my ranch and the neighboring ones and then print it out at least poster size, preferably bigger, like...

    Yeah as long as it was good when it went into the freezer there's nothing wrong with it now.

    Quick legal threat

    In my experience, the police don't give a fuck about stolen property. The best you can hope for is that they won't sound too annoyed that you are making them fill out a piece of paper about your stolen item that no one will read ever.

    Honestly I think making a DiGiorno at home is equal to or better than what you get at Pizza Hut/Little Caesars/Dominoes.

    Totally agree. I went with my grandparents when I was in college not expecting much and I was blown away by it. It's cool in pictures, but seriously amazing in real life.

    Call me a prude, but I think that ad is disgusting. The last thing I want to think about while I'm deciding what to have for dinner is weirdos with boners tying each other up in the basement, OR what a tongue looks like. That thing makes me consider skipping lunch, and certainly doesn't make...

    That's a legit way to roast something, the guy just used WAY too much fire. It's basically the same thing as a la Caja China/Cajun Microwave.

    Downside is that you wind up buying a car without driving it first which your experience is an excellent example of.

    Ford v. Ferrari (2019)

    Adam Carolla made a documentary about this a couple years ago that you can watch on Amazon Prime. I haven't seen it but if you're interested... The $3.99 price is only if you don't have Prime.

    You should remind her that the show didn't have much of a plot either. It's always been a character driven show.

    It's hard to do science on people. That's why the answer to "Is XXX carcinogenic?" is almost always "maybe". There are some lawyers getting rich by convincing California juries that glyphosate causes cancer right now but I think those are all probably getting reversed at some point.

    There are people that say that having flame touch the meat or even cooking on high heat can create carcinogens. Chemicals in Meat Cooked at High Temperatures and Cancer Risk Some things are worse than cancer.

    Relocating to LA from Orlando

    My vote would be for Chinatown although I don't know where to go for Dim Sum since Gold Mountain closed. Not the tourist shops so much as the food markets and whatnot. Really gives you the feeling of visiting a foreign country. I love the Monterey Aquarium. Been there probably 6 times...

    The ecoboost has twin turbos which gets rid of most of the turbo lag. It's the same setup that they put in the mustang and it's pretty fun to step on the gas in that thing. I was worried about complexity too, but it seems like from what I've read they've held up really well. One thing about...

    The exception to this is the Ford 3.5l Ecoboost V-6. It does 0-60 in 6 flat and if you step on it at 75 to pass somebody you will be easily doing 95 by the time you get around them. The thing is incredible for a v6 pickup truck.

    Chernobyl

    The 4000 number includes people who later died of cancer or at least a projection of that. A lot of people got thyroid cancer due to Chernobyl, but thyroid cancer has a 99% survival rate these days.

    Chernobyl

    It looks like the combination of many agendas plus Soviet incompetence/cover up makes it pretty hard to say for sure how many people actually died but I'm thinking the WHO estimate of around 4000 is probably closer than the 90K+ that some people estimate. Deaths due to the Chernobyl disaster...

    Chernobyl

    I don't give a shit if it's "harsh" or "biased". I want to know if it's accurate. The numbers I've heard in the past about Chernobyl were more like what the article said than what the show portrayed it as.

    Neither of them was actually a good show. I think they deserved to be pretty low in the rankings.

    My understanding is that mission style means that there is rice in it and the tortilla is steamed so it sticks to itself. I'm not an expert though and I imagine Alex will be along to correct me. I've never been to Chipotle, but I consider the "bertos" places in Phoenix to be different from...

    When I first moved to the bay area I was horrified by the fact that they put rice in their burritos. I'm not horrified anymore, but I still don't think that shit belongs in there. I liked the Burritos in Phoenix better than Mission style. The only mexican place in my town now smothers all of...

    You invalidated your opinion by posting about a pizza with salad on it. New York pizza is "the best" because New Yorkers love stroking their cocks and thinking about how they're better than other people and dumb ass tourists buy into the hype because it's like they saw on TV.

    Glyphosate won't really kill the roots. Anything that can come back from the roots it's not going to be effective on long-term. You might try something with a combination of 2 4-D and Dicamba.

    Do the series first. You would have no fucking idea what's going on if you just watched the movie I'm pretty sure of that. They threw in a few flashbacks to remind people what happened but I don't think it would be enough for someone to get it without watching the show. Either way, the series...

    That was very fun. Definitely a lot of fan service in there but the characters didn't miss a beat and the characters were always what Deadwood was all about. That and the amazing dialog which was also present. When Jane asked Charlie about Joanie and he said "I reckon she's been collecting...

    People love to hate on winners that didn't win the way the fans think they should. The fact of the matter is that the jury decides the winner of survivor and every jury is different so whatever your game was, if you win that means you played the best game for your season, regardless of what the...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Really writing from another person's outline is worse than nothing. GRRM might have gotten halfway through writing from his outline and went "this doesn't make any sense" and changed it, but the show runners are pretty much stuck with it.

    This is done in a lot of shows. It makes sense. There are tons of british actors and it's probably one of the easiest accents for American actors to do. Some people say it takes them out of it but I think that watching it as an American it conveys a sense of foreignness but it's less...
