    Smokers / Grills

    With those restrictions and price range, a classic Weber Kettle is really the only option. It's not a bad option though. Charcoal takes a while to get going, but you can sear steaks, smoke brisket, and do anything else in between with a little skill in that thing and since they're Webers they...

    That video was pretty great. And the piano woman is similar to a fashion model. It's too common to just have a conventionally sexy chick, they have to look weird but not in an unattractive way. They usually have unusually large eyes too.

    I wonder if the parent is clearly driving drunk if you could refuse them. Being related to a stupid junkie who has a small child, I think there are definitely times when it would be clearly better to send a kid with someone other than their parent, but that's some tricky legal territory there...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I'm not trying to shit on it. If you're having fun, more power to you. I don't think it's for me though, I would rather just lay on my back and contemplate the entire sky and look for the ISS or meteors or whatever. What I meant with the technical photography thing is that I just don't feel...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Thanks for the reply. I guess I just can't relate. To me the idea of seeing it on your computer decouples it even more from the experience, to the point where it seems like you could just google and get 100x better pictures of whatever it is you're trying to photograph with your thousands of...

    Hollow out a big rubber dildo and put it over the water line. It will look like a big dick fucking your toilet tank. You know, classy.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    What the article says is that you don't need to soak it, it's just on the surface regardless of how long you leave it in there. You could have put it on right before you cooked it and gotten the same result.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Marinating meat is mostly a waste of time, because the flavor doesn't actually penetrate and if you're cooking with a decent amount of heat, the marinade is just going to burn, especially if it's got sugar in it. People think they're making meat better and more tender by soaking it for hours in...

    Since it costs less than a frozen pizza and you don't have to cook it...still a good deal.

    Thanks, but I'm not asking about equipment, I'm asking what you are doing when you use the telescope and why do you enjoy it?

    The Astronomy Thread

    What do you look at? What would be a good night of stargazing for you? I'm not mocking or arguing, just genuinely asking. I live way out in the country and I like laying out on the lawn on a summer night and looking at the stars, so I thought I would like the telescope, but I felt like it...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I think this thread should be changed to "The space thread" or something similar. There is nothing about astronomy in here. Honestly, does anyone actually spend time looking through a personal telescope as a hobby, or do people just buy them and then realize that magnified stars look exactly...

    Roseanne

    Does this show have a laugh track? Every time I come across a 30 minute sitcom and hear the laugh track it seems so anachronistic. Then again I haven't watched a sitcom aside from the animated ones (Simpsons et al) since the 90's.

    Homeland

    I took Carrie's conversation with Saul at the end of the episode to mean that she thinks her sister is right. She's coming to terms with the fact that she's not a fit mother and the kid would be better off with the sister and her husband and she's going to let it happen because she can't stop...

    The great wall wasn't particularly effective against the Mongolians, or at least against Genghis Khan. I think he was more the inspiration for a lot of its construction.

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

    There are gothic cathedrals that took 500+ years to build. The great wall of china took 2000 years. People just don't have that kind of attention span anymore. It's hard to imagine starting a project that your great, great, great, great grandchildren wouldn't live to see finished. Also...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    The Rams are mortgaging the future trying to buy a SB run to get their stadium built. They should be contenders barring key injuries, but I don't see how they can keep the team together more than a season or two with all these high dollar free agents and the need to pay Goff and Gurley before long.

    My brother says there are times when it lags, but I think in general he is happy with it. Enough so that his wife just bought one anyway. Says battery life is good. He was a note user before this and misses the larger screen sometimes but that's the only complaints I've heard him make about...

    My sister in law just got a G5 plus last week so my Mom, brother, and her all have one now. She paid $170 for it brand new. When I look at them I feel stupid for paying 3 times as much for my S8 and the $1000 phones seem even more ridiculous. On top of the way cheaper price, they don't have...

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

    We know all about trilobites that went extinct 250 million years ago but only 10000 years ago somehow there was an advanced society of intelligent beings that spanned the globe which we know absolutely nothing about except that they could move and shape rocks really well and actually built all...

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

    Well you're not giving me much to work with. I think there might be a simpler explanation for some pretty nice stone work done in ancient times than a much more ancient modern civilization that somehow left no trace of its existence except for said stonework and I'm the one being unreasonable?

    So the only evidence of a society capable of high tech tools are some round holes in rock? Where's the drill bits? And the drill? The Nova link I already posted explains how to drill round holes in stone with primitive tools and they even did one to demonstrate it. You can google...

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

    If this stuff was built by an "advanced society" why is there no evidence of modern technology in any of them? Shouldn't there be some remnants of the 60 ton diesel powered crane that they used to lift those blocks, or at least like a single piece of steel somewhere? Shouldn't one of those...

    Multiple cultures invented the same extremely simple tools or else they learned about them from an ancient society of which there is no trace except for a couple dozen large stone buildings scattered around the world. Which seems more likely? Why do you believe the radiocarbon dating that...

    It's hard to see much gameplay as long as Naviti sticks together, but I'm liking Wendell and Kellyn so far. The only one I really dislike is Chris, and to a lesser extent Dominic. I like Donathan too but I don't think he has a chance to win.
