From Picasso's post on is the gayest part of this thread.

You don't have to spend a lot on probe thermometers, but you do on instant read ones if you want them to actually work. I always think about getting one of those thermapens but have yet to pull the trigger on it. With regard to the non-instant variety, I have owned several but I have yet to...

I know this is supposed to be "your own" photography, but I had to share this gorgeous pic with people who would appreciate it. From theBoston Globe "Big Picture" Blogwhich if you don't read, you should.

He's not a puppet if he is sending a huge "fuck you" to the CIA just because he can. At that point he's a liability not an asset and they make the call that puts him on the crane with Brody.

Heh, I wouldn't say that I like the walk of remembrance, but when they don't do it, it seems like there is something missing.

Well, he killed a major government official and made a fool of Iran. They are all about revenge in the middle east. She did but it wasn't a big deal. I don't think she was ever going to convert to Islam or anything, she was just feeling conflicted about her dad and sort of acted out a prayer.

Thought what were cool? Trolls? No.

The more I think about it I wouldn't be surprised if next season was all new players either, with a team of meatheads, a team of dumb pretty blondes, and a team of nerds.

Great finale. I am definitely down for season 4.

Since Cierra didn't make the final 3 Tyson was the best choice IMO. Winning the last two immunity challenges pretty much sealed it for him in my book even if the second half of his game has been uninspiring. It's hard to be inspiring from the lead position but getting those two hidden...

Pretty crazy week of football. Also it was nice to see my fellow 49er fans in this thread whining their way through another win. Right now the only team I fear in the playoffs is the Seahawks. I am rooting for the Panthers to beat Seattle in Seattle. They are the only team aside from the...

You can say a lot of things about Cowboys fans but you can't call them front runners at this point.

Thanks. It needs to be rubber. It's to go into a panel on the back of my flatbed pickup truck and I don't think those plastic desk things are going to hold up. I'm sort of rethinking the whole thing. Somehow I need this connector: With a couple of 4 guage wires coming out of it...

Yeah, it's sad that they didn't come back an episode earlier. Now it's going to basically be someone to keep Cierra company while the other three are on the last reward together.

Grainger has like 150 different round grommets, but nothing like this that I can find.

I'm looking for a grommet like this one. It needs to be big enough to fit a large (2"x1" rectangular) connector through and the more heavy duty the better. So far the only websites I have found with them are a german one where you have to call to request a quote (meaning they don't want...

Or maybe a sushi wrapper.

I know why they do it, but it's lazy writing. If you can't figure out how to tell a story without having completely unrealistic conversations where one person explains something to someone who obviously already knows it then you should probably try harder.

Ha! I forgot about ogre walls. We actually tried that on Tunare once. Don't recall that it worked worth a damn but it was very entertaining.

Good one, but it's not just catching other people, it's also catching yourself while you are falling with your fingertips on a ledge. People are constantly falling 10 or 15 feet and then catching themselves with their fingertips on a ledge or with one hand on a pipe or something even though no...

I agree, Gervase has no chance. He never goes in front of the jury without making an ass of himself. Not stupid, just a douche. I think everyone else has a shot. If Cierra makes it to the end she is definitely in my top 10 all time favorite players. Pulling an individual immunity win out of...

I would be with you if I hadn't heard of something like this happening day before yesterday. Newlyweds Accused of Thrill-Kill Craigslist Murder - ABC News Dude gets into a car with a hooker/escort. Her husband is in the back seat under a blanket. Husband pops up and wraps an extension...

Me too. It would be absolutely retarded for Jax to have made that whole deal with the DA if he was just going to kill Tara. It makes no sense that he would do it, but the fact that he dropped his gun on the floor and then the DA stared intensely at it makes me worry that we're going down the...

That's a good one too. An overturned kitchen table or sofa can take hundreds of rounds and none of them will get through. In fact a lot of bad guys use guns that have no effect at all aside from making noise.

I mentioned it in the Homeland thread, but also people being drowned, strangled, or suffocated in seconds, and of course the "rotate someone's head 45 degrees and cause instant death" thing that somehow all military trained people know how to do. An old standby is people being knocked...

Oh and all knives make the sound of a sword coming out of a steel sheath when you pull them out and make a whooshing noise when you wave it around.

-Semis in movies honk their horn constantly and it always makes the same doppler effect sound. -People are always explaining things to people who should already know them: "Dave, you're my brother, and we grew up poor in Louisiana and our dad used to molest us, but.." Dave is probably...

Depressing episode but as soon as I heard "the plan" I knew there was no way that was going to happen. If it was the series finale there might have been some chance that it was going to go down that way but knowing there was going to be another season there was a 100% chance that it was going...

First the rubbing, then the eating. The eating is not for medicinal reasons, I was just hungry.

Not going to be a revolution in an America where the "poor" all have flat screens and an obesity problem. Things have to get a *lot* worse for something like that. There have been revolutions for ideological reasons, the original American revolution was one of them, but the population is way...

Hey guys I just diagnosed myself with AIDS and cured myself with yams. Took less than 15 minutes and that includes microwaving the yams.

I agree with those saying it has gotten better every season. S4 was excellent and S1 was the weakest of the series IMO.

Shameless has shit writing IMO and has for a couple seasons. The Emily Rossum nude scenes are too few and far between to make it worth sitting through. Weeds was horrible for like 6 straight seasons. I don't know how it stayed on television for so long.

Can't wait.

It seems reasonable that when you're being told that your second in command is a CIA operative that you might not know who you can trust with that info so maybe he didn't want one of his guards to hear and possibly alert Javadi.

Yeah the big green egg has the heat source at the bottom. If you want to smoke in it you need what they call a "plate setter" for indirect heat. I also use a stoker: Rock's Bar-B-Que - Home To control the heat. My point is that I have like $1500 in this setup and as a grill it's...

Word Count: 94 Fuck Count: 8 Congratulations! Your post was 8.5% fuck!

Metric doesn't "lend itself" to being done in decimal, they just are. You can measure inches in decimals just as easily and that's what mechanical engineers do. Like I said earlier in the thread, I think it's stupid that bolts and rulers and such are in fractions instead of tenths of an inch...

What the fuck are you talking about? There aren't different measurements for amps, volts, or ohms in metric vs. imperial. EDIT: Also, you examples are easier because you're using decimals instead of fractions, it has nothing to do with imperial vs. metric. And there is no plausible...

I don't know where you guys are getting the idea that all engineering is done in metric. I was an electrical engineer so I didn't have much use for measurements but I worked with mechanical engineers on a daily basis. Nothing that they did was metric. They did use 10th, 100ths, 1000ths of an...
