    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I just heard that Kaepernick is having trouble getting back to his playing weight and also that he turned vegan 9 months ago. I wonder if the two could have anything to do with each other.

    There was a pretty interesting discussion of this stuff on TWiT this week. It starts at 1:34 in and lasts about 15 minutes.

    I have recently broken my boycott of Subway after not going there for probably 5 years. I always order the same thing, pizza sub with lettuce, tomatoes, black olives, and jalapenos. They are a shit sandwich place and always have been, but I like that sandwich. Never had anything else there...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    The Eagles weren't "so bad" when Chip was there. They were 27-21 under Kelly and made the playoffs the first year. Not world beaters but better than a lot of teams during those years.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Chip Kelly is clearly keeping up with the proud 49er tradition of shitting the bed in Seattle. It's probably for the best though. It seems like Baalke has added some solid talent and the rebuild is off to a good start so we need a high pick next year to get a QB since even though Gabbert...

    Yeah, this really sounds like a question for Fi Customer service. I think calling their 800 number is a lot better way to find a CS rep than posting here.

    Any Freemasons here?

    There is a religious aspect to the Freemasons but it's not really a religious organization and there is the fact that it goes back to the 1600s or whenever which accounts for some of the weird rituals. My dad had a Masonic ceremony at his funeral but it just consisted of some dudes putting on...

    Survivor

    Sorry we missed watching the millennials suffer through a storm in their non-shelter but the fact that a tree fell on the GenX shelter was pretty crazy so I'm sure it was the right decision. Unsurprisingly half of the millennials seem to think they are at spring break rather than survivor. It...

    Any Freemasons here?

    My Dad and Grandad were masons and my Grandad was a Shriner. As far as I could tell it was a way to get away from the wife one night a month and occasionally they would do some community service shit. I think part of the deal is that they're not supposed to invite anyone that didn't ask to...

    NFL Sunday ticket is pretty sweet and you can usually get them to give it to you for free. I fucking love the game mix channels where you can watch 6 or 8 games at once and switch the audio to whichever game you want.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    One of my Dad's friends tried to get me to watch this movie for years and finally actually bought me the DVD. I expected it to be horrible and I still don't know why he wanted me to see it so badly, but it was pretty damn funny and I'm glad I finally watched it. Until you posted this I don't...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    49ers game was what I expected but last week's game had me hoping for something better. I was glad they kept it competitive in the first half at least. As I feared before the season, when we're not going against the Ram's o-line we don't get pressure on the QB and if you don't pressure Cam...

    The Moral Superiority Thread: How much better are Vegans?

    It looks like I mostly missed this thread, but as (as far as I know) the only member of the beef industry on this board, let me confirm that I care only about money and getting my rocks off by causing misery to innocent cattle. Oh and causing environmental harm and premature death. When I hear...

    Fight Club is a better movie than the Matrix in my book, and I really liked the Matrix.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Either that's what you meant or you are making an extremely pointless series of posts here. "This is a very well made movie with great acting and it had some meaning but the meaning meter only went to 3.5 instead of 7.8 like people think so therefore it's overrated."

    I like to put lemon-pepper seasoning on salmon and cook it in butter in a hot pan, then as soon as the fish comes out, throw some more butter and a tablespoon or two of capers into the pan with a little juice from the capers to help deglaze it. Let it cook for like a minute on high heat until...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I love the chicken strips at Arby's but I think it's because my local place doesn't sell very many strips so they are always cooked to order and fresh out of the fryer. It's always a 5 minute wait when you order them even in the drive thru but it's totally worth it.

    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Fight club was a rejection of the materialistic culture of the 1980's, similar to grunge music and a lot of other shit from the 90's. It's an absolute waste of time to debate whether it has "substance" but if you think it was just a mindless action movie you weren't paying attention.

    49ers-Rams was a lot more fun than I expected. I usually figure that preseason is a lie and maybe it still is but I saw the same things that I saw in preseason. The defense looks tough. They play disciplined and aggressive and clearly Navarro Bowman is the heart of that. It really looks like...

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    Kelly's 3 seasons in Philly were 10-6, 10-6, 7-9 and the Eagles went 4-12 the year before he got there. I'm not saying he's the next Belichick (who had a worse record in his first 3 years in the NFL) but let's not go full retard with this worst coach in the league nonsense.

    NFL 2016 - <whatever Tony is doing>

    I agree. Expectations couldn't be lower for the 49ers this season. I don't see Chip getting fired unless something really ridiculous happens. I also don't really understand why people think the 49ers will be worse than last year. I'm not expecting much but aside from losing Anquan Boldin I...

    The Higher Education Thread: Justify Poor Life Choices

    I agree with that. For me I'm not sure it was exactly the right choice since I went at 18 straight out of high school and might have benefited from a place with more social interaction (aka girls) but a lot of guys I went with were in their 30s, had kids already, and had to work while they went...

    I wonder about this too. I went to DeVry and while I wouldn't particularly recommend it, it would be a big stretch to call it a scam or a ripoff. They taught me the shit I needed to know. It wasn't particularly easy, in fact I worked my ass off to make good grades and so did the other people...

    I have an outdoor cat that leaves mice in various stages of massacre on my back steps all the time. He seems to prefer the ass end so I find mouse torsos with their guts hanging out on the stairs. It's pretty metal.

    My grandfather was a big fan of scrambled eggs and brains. Because of this when we butchered cows for beef he would try to shoot them without damaging the brains which led to at least one incident that I remember where a cow was running around a pasture blowing blood out of her nose and mouth...

    Ouch. I don't know anything about ITT, but that would be pretty rough to go through a whole degree program and then have your school shut its doors a month before you graduate, especially since those credits probably won't transfer well at all.

    This is a fundamental problem with college IMO. You are supposed to pick a field when you are an 18 year old retard and then you spend tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars going to school and when you graduate you still have almost no idea what working in that field is even like. Then when...

    We eat them every year at branding time. I think that they are different than what you would get a restaurant because they come from a 4-6 week old baby calf where I think a restaurant could only get them from older animals. They aren't bad. Really nothing can be too bad when it's rolled in...
