    The Kirkland brand frozen chicken breasts from Costco are totally trimmed and individually wrapped and are totally consistent in size. I love them and I have been abusing other people's Costco memberships to get them for like 10 years now.

    I thought about that shot with the 3 balls at once as well and thought it must have been really damn hard to do unless they just got lucky. I don't recall a digging challenge ever taking that long before. They must have buried the stuff deeper than usual or something but that looked shitty...

    NFL 2016 Offseason Thread - Fins' Quest to Defend Their Crown

    I am going to be so pissed if Kaepernick goes to Denver and wins a superbowl. They have already proven that they can win without a quarterback.

    Vinyl

    Haven't really decided if I like this show but I don't hate it. It's a little like Mad Men but the writing isn't as good. I feel like they're turning the drama up to 11 at the expense of character development. I could take a bit more of the blonde secretary/wannabe agent naked with Jagger Jr...

    Yeah I think I would want to at least have demonstrated that I can make money at it before moving and it sounds like that's what he is planning. I was just asking if that is something that might have to happen down the road.

    Speaking as someone who went from making $80k a year working a very half-assed 40 hour week to running a business where I now pay myself under $30k a year (and it was less when I started) and work twice as much there's more to life than money. I am passionate about what I do now and it's much...

    My stomach is totally bulletproof. I can eat anything and shit like clockwork. I would probably be less fat if I didn't have an elite digestive system.

    Windows 10

    I think the main reason for making upgrades free is that most people didn't bother to upgrade and they decided that the money that they made off of charging for upgrades was not worth the hassle of supporting 7 old versions of Windows that people were still using. Windows 10 is not free if...

    Racism - Lets keep it civil. Also, Gravy is white.

    I did get hassled by a cop once now that I think about it. My car died like a week after I moved to California right out of college and rather than going into debt immediately after starting a new job I bought this shitty old Ford pickup for $3000 and drove that until I got a bit more...

    The first few times I went to In-n-Out when I moved to California I didn't really get it either but at some point something clicked in my head and I was going there at 2 in the morning sometimes. Last time I landed in CA I drove directly from the airport to the nearest In-n-Out and I will...

    Racism - Lets keep it civil. Also, Gravy is white.

    I was actually told by a cop once "I was never racist until I became a cop". I think part of the problem is that cops always see the worst of everyone and if they are in a place where they have to deal with ghettos then eventually they just start seeing all black guys as bad guys. Not making...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think you need to be able to grow some facial hair to pull off the shaved head look if you're not in good shape. Shaved head and a double chin with no beard makes you look like a giant penis.

    I still haven't had time to make this but I got my sister in law to make it today. It takes half a day to make which is a downside, but I'll be damned if this isn't the best lasagna I have ever eaten.

    The tribe I hate is brawn. Alecia is horrible at survivor but everyone else on her tribe is such a douche that I can't help rooting for her. The basketball player dude sounded so dumb talking about how Jason was going to "take care of him". I really don't think that there's anyone on this...

    Dammit. It's her own fault though, she and Peter obviously underestimated the rest of the tribe and were way too smug.

    Michael Pollan is just a media whore. He doesn't even care about being accurate, he knows that he will make more money whipping clueless hippies/yuppies into a self righteous fervor than by actually staying in touch with reality.

    It seems like one tribe is always a shit show in the 3 tribe seasons. Brawn is a mess but I have rarely seen anyone shoot themselves in the foot as effectively as Jenni did at tribal this week. I thought there was no chance that Alicia would survive that until Jen opened her mouth. Alicia...

    Weed eater is a brand of string trimmers. And electric isn't really giving up much to gas powered these days, particularly for something like a string trimmer. If you're doing heavy shit then you still need gas but if you're just edging your lawn and shit the cordless ones are much more...

    Yeah, if you could trade him for something valuable then I wouldn't hesitate to let him go, but if you're just going to release him and then sign some other washed up free agent or blow a first round pick on somebody that is not especially likely to make a starter, let alone a star then you...

    It's the right move I think. If there was some obviously better option available I would say go for it but just like a lot of other QBs in the NFL, he seems overpaid until you look at who you could replace him with that's better.

    I agree that Chuck looks down on Jimmy and he can't stand the idea of him becoming a "respectable" lawyer because he hasn't "earned it" in Chuck's mind. He bases his own self esteem on his accomplishments in the law and having Jimmy weasel his way into a similar level of respectability is...

    Replacing ground meat only isn't that helpful IMO because it's not like you can make steaks without making ground beef. Ground beef is the trimmings, undesirable cuts, and bulls/older animals that would be too tough to cut up normally. If this stuff comes out, the meat industry is still going...

    Red Lobster is a mystery to me. They have horrible seafood at the same prices as places with good seafood, yet they are a national chain that some people seem to love and I have never been able to figure out why that is.
