    I think by building a fence without even talking to your neighbor you are virtually guaranteeing that they are going to be pissed off. I know I would be.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    I can't even understand how people can watch it on TV. I'm interested in the results but fuck watching it live for 3 days. The only thing more boring is the combine.

    Gold Rush

    Yeah, this is the first episode that made it look like it may not be a complete failure, but it's hard to imagine them doing much better than breaking even. That rock grabber gizmo is pretty cool though.

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    Yeah, I really thought the Seahawks would do whatever it took to keep him from going to SF or St. Louis. I hate Richard Sherman like any good 49er fan, but from the 49ers standpoint it makes a ton of sense. They need a corner, and they are building a Seattle style defense so bringing in a vet...

    Yeah, it looked like just an adventure/information gathering trip, but it would be pretty funny if he went down there and made a ton of cash.

    Gold Rush

    That had to be uncomfortable for Parker to show up and basically take all of their profit for the year but Todd made the bet so fuck him. He's actually the one that proposed it so he has no one to blame but himself. Parker and Rick going to the jungle looking for gold in the off season might...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    You assume correctly. Tri-tip is a totally different cut than rump roast. Tri-tip is basically a big steak, so cooking it to 131 is fine. Rump roast at 131 is going to be tough as shit. If you want that to be tender you need to cook it to close to 200 and the sous vide is a waste of time...

    The Rams are certainly going for it. Is Sherman going to get released? I figured they would want to trade him to someone that's not in the NFC West.

    On the upside, most people who will hit you with no insurance also have no money so don't bother suing them. I think the only way you can keep real committed alcoholics from drinking and driving is to put them in jail. You hear about people getting their 9th or 10th DUI all the time. They...

    It's been said, but knife sets are for suckers. All you really need is a chef's knife and a paring knife. I have Shuns (more of them than I need) that I have had for like 12 years and they're not quite as pretty as they used to be but there's isn't a damn thing wrong with them. My brother has...

    He might be thinking he's only got a year or two left and he wants another ring and figures the 49ers aren't there yet. Even though all signs point to him being kind of a shithead prima donna, I would still rather have him than Richard Sherman.

    That was way too complicated for week 2 when I haven't learned everyone's name yet. I'm not exactly sure who Morgan is or why she got voted off but goodbye I guess. I'm glad it wasn't Libby because although I was also unaware of her until tribal tonight, they weren't lying when they said she...

    I lived in Phoenix from 96-99 and by far the best thing about that city is Filiberto's. I still don't understand how they could make a burrito that size that's got nothing but meat and cheese in it for like $4. Probably don't want to know either but I still miss that place.

    2018 Oscars

    I was underwhelmed by Get Out but maybe I heard too many NPR hosts gushing about it when it came out. It wasn't a bad movie but even nominating it for best picture was nuts. It was a funny, enjoyable horror movie, but best picture? No fucking way. The only other best picture nominee I have...

    2018 Oscars

    The oscars are never a good TV show unless you just love seeing celebrities. The only awards show that's worth watching IMO is the grammys and in that case I DVR it and watch the performances and fast forward through the awards.

    I think plenty of his books have good endings. The Stand and the Dark Tower series did not. DT's ending didn't offend me nearly as much as The Stand though.

    Salary Negotiation Question

    Nothing wrong with taking a year or even two off and then starting a new career. That's not retirement though. If you want your life to have meaning, you have to be employed at something you care about, and just doing it when you feel like it is not the same thing. Responsibility is what...

    I think your vinyl 2x4 idea is good. If your floor is flat and you bolt it down tight you might not even need to caulk it. I'm thinking this doesn't have to be 100% waterproof or hold standing water, just keep spills from getting away until you can mop them up? If you are in the Makita...

    I don't know if tapcons would stand up to too many whacks from a pallet jack. I'd get a hammer drill and put some real anchors in there. When you say vinyl planks, do you mean like some kind of a vinyl 2x4? When I hear vinyl plank I think of something like this.

    I tried the Nashville Hot Fish sandwich at Arby's last night. It was good, and surprisingly spicy, but it had a strange effect where it burned like behind my nose, way back in the sinuses. Not sure what caused that but it was unpleasant.

    I think dick sucking should be a feature. After all, men are doing laundry more these days, and women have been able to get off by sitting on the washing machine for decades. We demand equality now!

    New cast seems good so far. The Mexican chick was very pretty but she made the classic mistake of playing too hard too early, especially as a woman. Jew Fro guy sort of did the same as well as lying poorly with that weak ass fake idol. If life was fair, that Korean dude would have gone home...

    Yeah, the first couple seasons are great. The problem is that the characters are all extremely shallow so it's hard to keep writing stories that don't just get to be the same thing over and over. I'm not saying it would make the show better if they were all complex characters with emotions and...

    The last few seasons have been pretty lame. None of the characters have really progressed in any way so they just keep doing the same jokes in different situations and it's pretty boring.

    Water Heater flooded basement.

    This is why I'm against carpet and sheet rock in the basement. You probably want to figure out how high the water goes on your drywall and cut out the wet stuff asap or it will creep up the walls. You may wind up just ripping it out completely but if you let the water keep moving up you won't...

    I have told you this before but this is a terrible idea. My grandfather retired early (in his early 50s) and in my opinion it ruined his life. Men who don't have valuable work to do turn to shit very quickly.
