    I would say that any problem you're having with a Note 4 is probably because it's old as shit.

    The steak looks good, but I've never understood the desire to dump a bunch of sugar on a good steak, or coffee or anything else for that matter.

    Who is America starring Sacha Baron Cohen

    The Georgia guy was a state senator right? Not a US senator? In rural areas you need like 300 votes to be a state senator, especially in a year without other major candidates on the ballot, and people usually don't even know who they are voting for in the state races and just vote their party...

    Men's Bar Soap for Showering

    My brother used to keep that hippy soap in his shower. It smells fucking terrible, much like the hippies that use it.

    Same here. It will not pay for itself 90% of the time. Personally I'm not a fan of worrying about resale value on your house unless you're going to sell it in the next couple years. It's the building you live in. You should make it the way you want it, not the way some self proclaimed real...

    It was cancelled partly because David Milch made a deal to make that abortion "John From Cincinnati".

    Well you get to watch him do your neighbor's drive first so you can see if he does shitty work or stops for 3 months in the middle or any of the other shitty contractor tricks. Just don't let him start on yours while the neighbor's is still in progress and then both of you are stuck with him...

    Deadwood

    I wonder if it's going to pick up where it left off or be a "10 years later" type deal. It seems like the latter would be easier to pull off since obviously everyone is 10 years older and Cy is dead. On the other hand, I'm not sure what's going to be "resolved" in a down the line episode. The...

    Six Feet Under

    Way less gunfights than The Wire. The premise is that each episode starts with someone dying and then it just gets into all the shit that surrounds someone dying and having to deal with your family and whatnot and then also the funeral home is a multi-generational family business so you have...

    It (2017)

    Just saw this because it was on HBO. I'm not a horror movie fan at all but I really enjoyed this. The red haired girl was great and super pretty and I'm sure we'll be seeing more of her. The funny thing was she caught my eye because she plays the younger version of Amy Adams character in...

    Six Feet Under

    No, definitely not. I felt like they sort of ran out of ideas for a while, but it was never a bad show. It's also been 10 years since I watched so who knows if I would even agree with myself now.

    This is definitely true for me. I can't tell you how many times I've watched a movie in the evenings while sipping on bourbon and gotten a little carried away and then when the movie is over it's time to drunkenly cook whatever is in my refrigerator or even bake cookies and eat the whole batch...

    Six Feet Under

    It definitely doesn't keep up the quality from the first couple seasons, but it never gets too terrible and it ends well. When it comes to Michael C. Hall shows, they both went downhill, but 6 feet under never got close to as bad as Dexter in the late seasons.

    I would definitely let the power company take care of it if they're willing to. The tree will probably live but it will be years before it has a nice shape again if it ever does. That said, it might be a prime spot for a tree house if you were to have children.

    Don't take the brown acid everybody! Regular encounters with insane people is part of the charm of San Francisco. That's why they keep electing them as city supervisors.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    This is good advice, and not only for the benefits, but for the possible drawbacks if you get off on the wrong foot. In a tight-knit community you're either part of it or you're not, and it could be the difference between 15 neighbors showing up to put out a fire on your land while you're not...

    Men's Bar Soap for Showering

    I notice one of the bars in that Grandpa's soap assortment is buttermilk. The idea of washing yourself with buttermilk is just appalling to me. Maybe "rancid bacon grease" will be their next variety.

    The important question is, if you see something you like in the pgt, can you put on some porn and rub one out quick? If that is frowned upon, that's a definite downside compared to working from home.

    Who is America starring Sacha Baron Cohen

    I have a hard time believing that people are sitting that close to him and don't see the see through the makeup. He kind of looks like he's made of play-doh even on TV. I loved Ali G and Borat but I'm not laughing much at this so far.

    Yeah, with no sugar it's not going to form a crust like real BBQ sauce. It will be interesting to see what happens but I wouldn't expect a good outcome. FWIW, you can also do ribs in the pressure cooker and finish under the broiler with very good results and way less time.

    The "Shit i just Broke" thread.

    I should have taken a picture when it was still on the tractor but.. I'm not sure if it was flat or a while or what but I was baling hay this morning and suddenly noticed the front tire looked like this. Sucks because the tire shop can't get it in until morning so by the time I get it back...

    Smartphones

    I think you could take any phone or tablet to a phone repair place and have the cameras removed. Most of that stuff is modular and just has to be unplugged. You can probably even do it yourself and fill the holes with epoxy or something.

    If you can read the menu or talk to anyone you aren't getting the real dim sum experience. You just go in there, point at things that look like they aren't innards, and hope they aren't ripping you off too much when the check comes. The worst thing I ever did in SF Chinatown was go into a...

    Thinking outside of the Box

    I don't think that trying to change your personality is going to be that productive. Creatives are celebrated in business because creatives start companies, but business also really needs people that are conscientious which creative types tend not to be. It's the Steve Jobs vs. Tim Cook...

    For a while the deli at Walmart had a deal where you could get half a pound of two types of meat and half a pound of cheese for $9. I think some places might have excluded beef from that but the store here never did so you could get a pound of roast beef or pastrami plus half a pound of cheese...

    It seems like the key is getting it sliced super thin and then chopping it up in the pan. Doing that to rib eye seems like sacrilege to me. I found a recipe making them with short ribs that seems promising. I'm spending all my time baling hay right now but in a couple weeks I need to start...

    The Fishing Thread

    Do you know that you should wet your hand and net before you touch the fish if you're going to release it? Otherwise you can wipe off their protective slime and makes them susceptible to disease. Some people even say don't use a net at all if you don't have to if you're going to release the fish.

    Sharp Objects

    First episode seems promising. They did a nice job of introducing the town and Amy Adams character and I imagine the plot will get going now that the second girl's body has been found. I recently watched Adams in the movie "Nocturnal Animals" and the vibe is sort of similar.

    Yellowstone

    So this show couldn't possibly get any more melodramatic. I can't believe Kevin Costner decided to make this his TV debut. I am still watching it, but considering it a comedy at this point. It's 100% pure cheese.

    IS HBO gonna get shafted by AT&T?

    The first episode of Sharp Objects seemed kind of promising, but I'm a fan of Amy Adams. I sort of agree on Succession, don't care who wins, the world would be a better place if all those helicopters crashed in the first episode.

    Anybody have a good philly cheesesteak method? Everyone in Montana seems to think that you just slice some round steak 1/4" thick, fry it in a pan, with some salt if you're lucky, and then put some half-sauteed green peppers and onions on it and a slice of provolone. It's tempting to order...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    I don't know if the UFO was real, but Bill Nye sucks balls. They introduce him as a scientist byt he's a personality on children's television who worked as an engineer in his 20s yet he presents himself as the official spokesperson for the scientific community. Fuck that guy.
