    Yeah, the problem is that the drought is so wide-spread. Usually when we can't harvest enough hay in SE Montana to feed the cows we can go to NE or central MT or western ND or somewhere within a couple hundred miles and buy hay. This year all of those places are also dealing with drought and...

    Weather

    I wish some of the rain from these gulf storms would make its way up to Montana. Seems like we haven't had a rain since April and half the state is on fire. So much smoke in the air that you can't drive with your windows down or your eyes burn and I'm far from most of the fires. Also just...

    You Are Not So Smart Came across a new podcast about science, psychology, the brain, and human motivations. It's a little low on production values and a little high on ads but it's very interesting and he interviews experts on various psychological topics. I've only listened to 3 episodes so...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Good story telling elements? I think you're just looking for more shit to bitch about. This fucking show doesn't have enough good story telling elements. The drama is forced. Now I will type more meaningless words.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, they don't show her talking to Bran because it ruins the dramatic reveal where you think Arya is on trial instead of Littlefinger. Nothing confusing about it really.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Thomas got a late start because Stanford wouldn't let him come out for OTA's but everything I've heard about him is positive and they are expecting him to be the starter in the first regular season game.

    The Fast Food Thread

    My Mom once bought a huge amount of that vegetable oil based cheese on sale when I was a kid and it was horrific. Do they still make it? It is fine on a burger, if you don't have too much of it. However, I would argue that the cheese on a burger is more of a textural thing and the flavor...

    Not a damn thing wrong with doubling up on American cheese. Cheddar, on the other hand, you can have too much of because it will turn your burger into a greasy mess. Ever make a quesadilla with a lot of cheddar? It will have oil dripping out of it. American is basically mild cheddar with...

    Congratulations Mist

    Mostly superyachts. I think Paul Allen's cost $250M and that doesn't include the crew, fuel, and storage costs. You can probably have a private jet, but it's most likely not going to be a 747 and you may even have to go used.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Vance McDonald was third in receiving yards on the 49ers last year, not that that's saying that much. I actually liked him, he is fast and flashy when he doesn't drop the ball.

    Relocating to LA from Orlando

    Solid advice. I spent a few years in the Southwest and the Grand Canyon and New Mexican food are the only things I'd consider going back for.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    I'm not going into it, but let me just say you don't know WTF you're talking about. The downside to how few people are involved in farming these days is that city dwellers are stunningly ignorant about agriculture.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    So you want to go back to a 100% agrarian society? The fact that people don't have to grow their own food is what enabled modern society. Cheap and plentiful food provided by a tiny percentage of the population is what allows the rest of the world to build skyscrapers and invent the internet...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I've watched pretty much every game he's played in his career and rooted for him in every one of them. I don't give a shit about the anthem protest one way or the other, and I'm not sorry he's gone at all. I just wish the trade with Denver would have worked out last year and we could have...

    Furor's 14 Days rant & First Look at WoW

    You shouldn't group with people who play in recliners late at night. On test we had a cleric who literally fell asleep in an exp group every night. You knew it was going to happen, so you had to try to notice that she was not responding before it wiped the group. To her credit though, she...

    Dairy Queen onion rings >>> Burger King. There is an onion in there and although they have crumb breading instead of beer batter they are still top tier for a fast food chain. The best onion rings are of course freshly fried beer battered at a steak house or BBQ joint but if we're talking fast...

    I don't think I have either, but if you did I'd think you'd go beer batter, not something with sugar in it.

    the ecological fallacy and identity politics

    Yeah, the easy solution is to just give them money and if someone points out how much they are suffering, call that person a racist. Not to get all Ayn Rand-y but it seems clear to me that a great way to destroy a person is to put a roof over their head, give them just enough money to get by...

    I think you're right. That was what I found googling, but I thought it was wrong because generally the males are blue and the females are orange and with mine both were orange but I have recently read that in a small percentage of the population the males can be orange so maybe I had the rarer...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I actually thought both Hoyer and Beathard looked decent in the second preseason game. I was more concerned about the lack of a running game than anything else. At least 3 of those turnovers were kind of weird, flukey things that aren't going to happen all in one game very often. The ball coming...

    Yeah, that's correct. I guess that makes sense, each bolt only has to hold up a little strip of the deck where the supports in front are 12 feet apart.

    Whiskey

    I think that's probably the way to go. Find some yuppie bartender and just tell them that you want to try some whiskey. They might judge you if your favorite winds up being crown royal or something, but I would bet that the more you drink, the more you will start to like some of the stronger...

    So I have a dumb question for you guys. We are building a deck on my brother's house that is going to be steel structure and a concrete pan deck. It's 10 feet wide and runs the full length of the house and it's about 9 feet off the ground (house has a walk-out basement). The front of the deck...

    How much latency does wireless add? Obviously it's terrible on satellite, but I understood that that was the fact that the signal has to go 20000 miles into space. That wouldn't be an issue with terrestrial wireless.
