    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    My DVR fucked up so I don't get to watch Jimmy G's first game. From the highlights he looked good. Super quick release and very good accuracy on the passes I saw. Sure it was the Bears but he's got some better teams coming up. From what I've seen so far it's hard not to get excited. Next...

    Regrets

    “Remorse.-- Never yield to remorse, but at once tell yourself: remorse would simply mean adding to the first act of stupidity a second.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche There's really no way to know what would have happened if you had made different decisions in the past. Maybe it would have been...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    A local overhead door shop auctioned all of their tools online and I picked up a couple nice tools. Cost me $300 but since they're in good condition and would cost like $800 new I am pretty pleased with the purchase.

    Smartphones

    Ordered a Galaxy S8 for $575 off of Amazon. I usually figure Samsung and Apple are for people with more money than sense and cool people who are in the know buy Nexus/Pixel or something like a OnePlus but there was nothing I could find at any price that didn't have some compromise that I didn't...

    I agree that Turkey is the worst meat that exists, but if you serve anything else on Thanksgiving I'm going to be disappointed. Sometimes it's about tradition and not just what tastes good. Stuffing/dressing on the other hand, is delicious and I don't know why we only eat it at Thanksgiving...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I don't think you can tell much about a mattress by laying on it in the showroom. You really need to sleep on it for a while to have a real opinion. I think most new mattresses are great and maybe some last longer than others but $4k for a bed is just buying in to marketing. Did you know...

    Black Friday 2017

    If you're going to import Black Friday you should really import Thanksgiving as well. It sort of offsets the blatant consumerism to have a day of giving thanks for all the shit you're about to go buy.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've never seen anything like it. The guy makes defenders look like they're chasing a greased pig at the fair. It's hard to rate him as a quarterback because he doesn't do it like anyone else, but you can't deny that what he does is effective.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I can't help feeling sorry for CJ Beathard. He has played pretty well for having defenders up his ass every play and then he gets beat up and Garappolo comes in for 3 plays in garbage time and instead of 3 hand offs like the backup QB would usually get he throws 2 precision passes and scores...

    People are going to disagree with me, but I'm pretty sure 90% of mattresses is just marketing. It's a soft pad to sleep on. My brother and sister in law have been buying those $300 king mattresses off of Amazon and people that stay with them all say they are awesome.

    I just heard an interview with Anthony Bourdain where he talked about how chefs hate working brunch but restaurants want to do it because it's a big money maker. You serve the same shit you do at breakfast, but throw in a cheap mimosa and double the price.

    You can brine it in the same pot you fry it in, but I use a 5 gallon bucket the same as Chaos. If you're going to get a pot to fry in, spend a few extra bucks and get an 8 gallon pot so you can put 5-6 gallons of oil in there and still have lots of head room so you don't have to worry about it...

    Black Friday 2017

    I was hoping for a deal on the Galaxy S8+ but it seems like there's basically jack shit unless you're willing to switch carriers which isn't an option for me. Verizon will give me $300 off if I increase my bill by $30 a month and switch to unlimited (fuck you) and Samsung will give me some...

    Deep fried the turkey for the second year in a row. Aside from paying $60 for 5 gallons of oil, that is the only way to cook a turkey.

    I'm assuming this is an attached garage? Is it actually heated? Or just getting some ambient heat from the house? If it's not actually heated, you're probably not going to get a lot of bang for your buck with insulation because there's just not that much heat to hold in in the first place...

    The price has actually gotten reasonable on them now. Last time I looked they were like $14 for a 5oz bag but they're not much different than the gas station now. Might have to order some.

    I had a bag of those over the weekend. They are solid, but a pale shadow of the green chile flavor which every store in my area resolutely refuses to carry. Most places have the original and hot and spicy. A couple have the chorizo and lime (which suck) and nobody has green chile.

    I don't think I would ever do this, at least not at that price tag, but it would be a fun experience if someone else was buying. Did you feel like you got a lot of food at least? I would be furious if I spent that kind of cash on a meal and didn't leave absolutely stuffed. What were the...

    It's biannual lets screw up clocks day.

    I spent 3 years in AZ and this is totally not true. Living in a state where you want the day to end as early as possible so you can go outside without dying isn't a good tradeoff for not having to change your clock twice a year.

    Injuries on the 49ers are just unreal. If we don't beat the Giants next week we could be looking at 0-16 for real. Nice to see Reuben Foster make it through a full game. He is starting to look like he's made of glass but I hope that's not the case because he's exciting to watch. Pretty good...

    Oh fuck off with this whinefest. I'm sure there are exceptions, but everyone I have talked to that is not watching the games because of the anthem protests never watched anyway. NFL ratings are down 5% compared to last year, but that's not as much as prime time TV is down. There's just a lot...

    Plus you have the fact that Bill Belichick has been around him for 2.5 years and wanted to make him their next QB. Bill hasn't seen him in many games, but he's watched him in practice a shitload and that's a pretty strong recommendation if the rumors are true.

    If a phone has decent battery life these days, fast charging isn't much of an issue because you're only going to need to charge it while you sleep and wireless charging is plenty fast enough for that. I like the idea of being able to charge my phone for 15 minutes in a pinch and get a couple...
