A friend of mine used to work for HP and their policy was that as long as your manager would sign off on it you were good. He was in town once and I went out with him and 2 other HP people and we ran up a $300 tab on steaks and booze and they were like "Dave's going to laugh his ass off at this...

I love the Kingdom Rush series although the newest game is disappointingly easy. Are there any other good tower defense games? I've downloaded a few and they were complete trash compared to Kingdom Rush.

Did you know dihydrogen monoxide is used in toilets and also in EVERY SINGLE SOFT DRINK?????

I've seen a 600 lb heifer electrocuted by 120V. It can definitely happen. Whatever you're doing if your wire is getting hot you aren't using the right wire.

LEDs in a car wouldn't require a ballast/driver. That is to convert 120v AC power to DC and an appropriate voltage for LEDs. In a car the LEDs could run directly off of the 12v DC from the car battery. I've often wondered if all light bulbs eventually become LEDs if houses will start to be...

Sorry for your loss. My Dad was killed in a similar work related accident in 2008 when he was 55 years old. I think that you are correct that the machinery needs to be sold and the money should go to your Mom. It's a no-brainer really. When the time comes, either consign it to a machinery...

Any time electronics are acting bizarre, the first thing to look for is a ground problem. Finding it is easier said than done though.

Anything that's deep fried goes downhill in a major way if it gets cold.

Man, I love a good fried fish taco with cabbage and lime on it. I have yet to find one anywhere in Montana. Del Taco's are surprisingly good for fast food.

If there's a truly self-sustaining population somewhere else that would be one thing, but there was mention of just a space station or a handful of people living in a sealed colony on Mars or something. I can see the desire to inhabit a new planet permanently, but that's so far from being...

Why?

Why do we need to? Would you want to be alive on a space station or in a tin can on Mars if Earth was gone? Aside from being the last human to die, I don't see much future in it unless a reachable planet was found that could actually support a real population of humans.

Does KFC still have the fried apple pies? There's no KFC here but I used to love those things.

I think it's a Midwest thing. I've just recently started seeing it in eastern Montana but you could always get it in North Dakota. It's pretty similar to mountain dew. I had a Tab a few years back and found it to be shockingly disgusting.

I've been drinking Mello Yello Zero lately and it's pretty good but there's only one store here that carries it. I'm also partial to diet Dr. Pepper and ginger lime diet coke.

I think if we had kept up the space program at the level it was in the apollo years there could have easily been a moon colony by 2000. The problem is that the moon is kind of lame and it's hard to keep people excited about spending billions to colonize a cold, dead rock.

They say you should pump out your septic tank ever 3-5 years but we have 4 of them on the place and have routinely gone 10+ years and not had any problems. They're really pretty trouble free and yes I think the Rid-X stuff is a waste of time and money.

Arnold Schwarzenegger destroyed his marriage to impregnate this woman. Dudes don't turn down free pussy, even if they say they would.

Yeah, he landed on one of those 2-burner propane camping stoves which was quite a bit worse for wear but he just got bruised a bit.

Good call. My brother fell off of his roof last week. He had the harness on too, but you have to be able to get to the top of the roof to hook it in and he didn't make it that far.

See that's what I think a lot of people think of as retirement and then 5 years in they're sitting in front of the TV waiting for death. If you retire at 60 you probably have 25-30 YEARS of time to kill from 8-5 every day. That is a lot of time to sit on your ass and do hobbies that nobody...

May have been mentioned already but chili reheats very nicely. You can even bake some cornbread muffins to go with it if you want.

Meme's aren't piracy, they're fair use. I pirated music when I was in my early 20s. I eventually decided that I'm not the sort of penniless loser that has to steal inexpensive items, nor am I able to delude myself into believing that it's a victimless crime which is obviously not true. Best...

Miley doing a very competent version of a classic Dolly Parton song.

The movie is set 10 years after the series ended, so I imagine they will just say he left or died or something.

Something to consider when you're thinking about retirement... A Massive New Study of 5,000 Men Says This 1 Very Surprising Thing Predicts Happiness

Any hat that's not a baseball cap or a beanie makes you look exactly like this to me.

There's all the classic rationalizing of piracy I was expecting earlier in the thread.

For those of you thinking of retirement, and especially early retirement, what do you imagine doing afterward?

Don't stop posting because of a couple flamers. If no one has called you a retard on this board then you are just not posting much. I for one would like to hear more about the situation there and what options like working in the west look like to you. Do you know why the economy is so...

It sounds like your friends are thinking that magnetism is what holds earth in orbit around the sun, which isn't true at all, it's gravity. Also, the earth's magnetic field reversing would not be a worldwide EMP at all. It's the same weak force that it always was, just in a reverse direction...

The blueberries are all fresh and plump in the picture but you know on the actual sandwich they're going to be all small and shriveled.

Boring game. Read this thread afterward for the salty @Daezuel posts. Was not disappointed. Congrats to the Pats. I hope Brady fucking retires soon but you can't help but be impressed with this run.

That melted rock theory is really interesting. I would love to see someone try to duplicate it.

I would be concerned about it if it has changed suddenly. If there's a loose/fried connection that's increasing the resistance through the coil then there could be something heating up that's not supposed to be hot.
