The NFC Playoffs couldn't have been more terrible this year for a 9ers fan. I wanted both teams to lose in every single game and that continues to the Superbowl.

Despite the occasional flooding, basements are fucking awesome. Just don't have a lot of sheet rock and carpet down there and it's all good.

My brother wears a Minnesota Twins cap all the time just because he likes how it looks and it fits right. People are always talking to him about the Twins even though he couldn't name one player on the team and he just nods at them and goes on his way.

Hell yeah. You guys never put chips or cheetos on a sandwich? Gives it a great crunch.

I'm not saying they're responsible to do anything, but you expect an engine to last more than 125K these days in any car, let alone a Honda.

Google image search is your friend. GIS stairs until you find something you like, then show them a picture and say "I want this".

It's funny, when I lived in the city, I didn't think twice about going to the Albertson's next to my apartment in shorts, sweats, dripping sweat from a workout, whatever. Now that I live in the country I always feel like I should be dressed nice to "go to town". I sort of feel underdressed...

My buddy just had the engine seize up in his accord at 125K miles. He had records of all the oil changes and called up Honda and they said "sorry, 100k warranty, go fuck yourself". They wanted $8k to put in a new engine at the dealership. He took it to another shop and got an engine with ~80k...

Yeah, I think supply and demand has more to do with it than crime. If people in the hood were crying out for vegetables, somebody would be selling them there. There's no shortage of people selling cigarettes and cheap wine.

Organic is an idiot tax. I don't know what the problem is where khane lives but nobody grows vegetables within 500 miles of me but I can usually get decent produce pretty cheap. Not on par with California but not like what's being discussed here.

That is one sexy mannequin.

I'm agreeing with Khane way too much today, but yeah I don't know why you would need a set of knives. If you have a chef's knife and a paring knife, that's pretty much all you need. I'm partial to Hebrew National myself.

My brother had a Jetta and it was a POS too.

I didn't even know lurkingdirk was a communist!

Superbowl food anyone? I'm making wings for sure. I think I'm going to take a shot at falafel as well. Maybe homemade corn dogs too. If you've never breaded and fried your own corn dogs you don't know what a corn dog is.

Just tried it on the Home Hub and it was pretty damn sweet. Got 6 timers going at once, with names for each one, and you could see them all counting down, without having any idea how to do it beforehand. Two thumbs up.

I should do the timer thing I guess. I still use the one on my microwave like I'm a goddamn senior citizen.

I have a google home hub and I find that the times I want to talk to it are pretty much non-existent. I do like having it in the kitchen to watch YouTube videos while I cook or wash dishes, but even for that I don't use the voice interface. I just queue up a few videos on my phone and cast them.

Man, between Lev Bell and this, something is really fucked up in Pittsburg. I would love to see a receiver like AB in San Francisco, but he's really making himself look like a cancer right now. I guess he figures that's his only way out of the Steelers, but it makes me very afraid to have him...

I have a conspiracy theory that insurance companies are always happy to replace your roof because then they will raise your rates because you had a claim and then make you pay for that roof several times over the next few years. I have absolutely nothing to back this up, but it does seem like...

This matches my experience. I went from a crappy electric range to a medium-cheap gas range and I feel like I could get my pans to searing temp and boil water considerably faster with the electric than I can now with the gas. My Mom has a better gas range and it has more powerful burners than...

The Rachael Ray one was pretty good. She's always nice but you get the impression that if she had to fight naked like Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises she would have killed those two Russians with the linoleum knives and been ready for her closeup 20 minutes later.

I did the cabbage soup diet years ago and even though I thought it tasted great on day 1 by the end of a week of eating multiple times a day I would have rather put a bullet through my head than lived on that shit for another week. If you kept it up for 4 months you're a better man than me.

Kenji has some pretty awesome pressure cooker recipes. Maybe not all budget friendly but the ones I've had were very good. Pressure Cooker Recipes I've been pretty disappointed with the pot roast I've done in the pressure cooker. I think the slow cooker does a much better job albeit in a...

Probably not going to find a part for that thing. You can buy pretty nice chairs on amazon for under $200 though, just read the reviews.

I don't see this conformist thing in science at all. Nothing is more prestigious as a scientist than proving that the current thinking is wrong. Even if it were true though, we're not talking about bending with the breeze here. Radiocarbon dating is not a matter of opinion, it's an objective...

Didn't buy it, got it as a gift, but it's pretty badass.

You don't need to use bottled water, just get a bottle of dechlorinator and use tap. The dechlorinator isn't expensive at all. Something like this will last you a long time.

I don't know when I've seen a left tackle going backwards at that rate of speed.

We've bought a lot of appliances in the last few years and they have been universally junk. I'm actually taking my Mom's 3 year old Whirlpool refrigerator to the shop tomorrow. We bought a GE set with a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher 5 years ago when we remodeled her kitchen and the...

An oral history of the 49ers-Saints epic January 2012... Some nice nostalgia for 49ers fans. Probably not so much for Saints fans. Check out Joe Staley running like a deer and taking out the safety.

Yeah, pre-superbowl doesn't count. The league was a joke back then.

All I'm saying is, every time there's a hot young quarterback, people start talking like it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to play in multiple Superbowls during the course of his career, but they only give out 1 Lombardi trophy a year and 32 teams are spending hundreds of millions of...

Assuming that this is possible, which isn't obvious to me at all, what would their motivation be for doing this?

I remember saying that about Kaepernick after the 2013 super bowl. Those SB appearances are hard to come by, unless you're the Pats.

And that is different technology than what Chuk and Kiroy are saying is wrong in the case of other buildings?

What would lead you to believe that the dating for Gobekli Tepe is correct and all of the other ones are wrong?

Made a brisket in the Yoder yesterday and while it wasn't a complete failure, it could have been a lot fucking better. The thick part was great, like butter, but there was considerably too much bark on it and the thin parts were practically turned to charcoal. It was in there for 18 hours at...

If they're good knives you really only need to sharpen them once a year or so unless you're doing something rough with them and in that case it might be worth $5 a knife to have them professionally sharpened. That said, I like this tutorial. I bought a water stone because of it and one of...

Dispute what? Have you made any kind of assertion other than "this is impossible" even though it clearly isn't since it was done by many people all over the world?
