    Hiking, Mountain Biking and Adventure Thread

    I think that backpackers get way too carried away with the ultra lightweight stuff. Maybe it's because I'm a big dude but I have no problem carrying 50 pound pack if you're only going 6 or 8 miles a day. IMO the extra comfort in camp is well worth the extra weight. If you're trying to hike 15...

    This. If you're not leaving the empty pan on high for half an hour it's not going to be a problem and if you do burn it up you will be able to tell.

    Laptop Computers

    Not everybody carries their laptop with them everywhere or wants to type on a tiny ass 11" keyboard. That article is kind of retarded. Also, it was written in January by somebody who had barely touched the thing. Why not link an actual review? Acer Chromebook 15 review: the big Chromebook...

    I've been thinking about buying one of those. Seems it's out of stock most places though.

    Khane is right but I say fuck it, use a metal spatula in your non-stick pan. It's not really that hard to avoid gouging the surface.

    Better Call Saul

    The scene where he says that he's being held at gunpoint and his life is being threatened. I would call it more desperation than being evil. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=232876796836693

    The Fast Food Thread

    My brother is a refinery electrician and he says that everyone at his job has been using that Mio stuff in their water constantly. That has to be a coup for some marketing genius that got a bunch of union electricians to start drinking overpriced kool-aid.

    Survivor

    A lot of the early reward challenges post merge are group challenges where they draw rocks or do a school yard pick. I imagine they can repurpose a couple of the immunity challenges to a reward challenge. They have been doing the show a long time, I think they have plenty of tricks.

    Drones and Fires and Crowdfunding

    I am waiting for a drone that I could program to fly to several GPS points and take a picture once a day. During the summer I waste tons of time driving around to all of my water tanks to make sure that they are still working and I don't check them every day. Obviously it would require that...

    You get used to it. I used to hate Diet Coke but I was trying to lose weight back in my 20's and I just bought a 24 pack and drank one can of it per day. By the time the 24 pack was gone I was fine with diet and now I very much prefer it to the sugary stuff. Even being the hardcore caffeine...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I sell a few to people direct once a year but the vast majority I sell as calves when they are old enough to wean and they either go out on grass somewhere or to a feedlot. People do say our hamburger is better than what you get at the store though.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I read a big article in Time Magazine a while back called "Eat Butter" that made a pretty good case that the low fat movement more or less caused the obesity epidemic. I don't know of any other area where it's harder to make information based choices than food where the common wisdom seems to...

    Hah! Actually I'm phasing out all of our farming to put up more hay, but you make a good point. Part of the reason I'm doing it is that I'm not great at it and 90+% of the income on the place comes from the cows anyway but that is funny.

    I don't think the lawsuits are going anywhere. When Verizon won their lawsuit the court specifically said that the FCC did not have the power to rule UNLESS they invoke title 2 but they would be able to if they did that. The way that they're going to get the ruling reversed is through...

    They have Comcast and in a few neighborhoods Verizon Fios (although I don't think that's in SF, just a few parts of the bay area). It's not an internet desert but there's nothing on par with Google Fiber.

    Unfortunately it's hard to get good advertisers on podcasts. It's not really that the big companies don't want to advertise on them because the engagement is through the roof, but it's just too much work. They can make a multi-million dollar ad buy for TV and Radio and be all over the country...

    You have a point, I am probably still thinking in terms of when I was in California and you could get a bundle of Basil the size of your head for $3. When you start buying it in those little plastic containers it gets pretty retarded and you should probably just buy the paste or something instead.

    Fuck Comcast

    They are basically going to cities that are willing to grease the wheels for them. Because of that, San Francisco will be the last city in America to get it since San Francisco naturally forms a coalition against anyone that attempts to do anything.

    Yeah, standard red sauce is what I meant. Tomato/onion/garlic/basil/parsley etc. I haven't had BBQ sauce pizza but it sounds revolting. Do you like pizza with ketchup on it too?

    If it doesn't have marinara it's not pizza in my book. The white shit doesn't taste bad, but you have to call it something else because if you tell me we're having pizza and then you bring out something with alfredo on it I'm not going to be happy.

    Crazy Bread is the ultimate form of gummy white bread and I don't mean that in a bad way. I've never tried it but I bet you could somewhat replicate them by microwaving store bought bread dough and then dousing it in melted butter and sprinkling it with parmesan powder.
