    Homeland

    I get it, but it still makes me laugh along with other agreed-upon Hollywood conventions like causing instant death by rotating someone's head 45 degrees, guns that don't run out of bullets, and a single blow to the head causing unconsciousness for however long it is convenient for the plot...

    2013 NFL Season

    The kicking team isn't allowed to advance the ball after the kick unless someone from the receiving team has touched it. The fact that this kick only happened to go 2 feet doesn't change that. I didn't understand that situation either. I guess maybe since the blocker touched it then it's a...

    Homeland

    I don't think anyone would bat an eye at a female tourist wandering around Tehran. Iranian women don't typically walk alone but that doesn't necessarily extend to foreigners. Even in more strict areas like Saudi Arabia it's not fucking Taliban country. They understand that foreigners don't...

    The Documentary Thread

    Just watched "Jay-Z Made in America". Ron Howard doc about Jay-Z's music festival in Philadelphia. Good story with lots of different kinds of good music. Needs to be watched someplace with a good sound system if at all possible. Currently playing on Showtime. Check it out.

    Smartphones

    Which is exactly why they are expensive. If tablet prices are any indication, these things should cost $2-300 off contract max, but thanks to the lack of competition the cell phone companies can charge what they want. Motorola isn't going to piss off their biggest customer (Verizon) even if...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    The romantics will tell you to go charcoal or wood, and I currently use my big green egg to smoke things, but if your main goal is smoked food and not carpentry, just go buy an electric smoker (and not the bradley ones that take the stupid hockey pucks that cost 10 times as much as regular wood...

    Weather

    You could always move south to balmy Montana. This is my thermometer this morning. Crazy shit. Don't want to leave the house but I have multiple wells that are frozen up and have to be defrosted.

    Smartphones

    The reviews are great on the Moto X. The people who are down on it are the stat nerds that will point out that it has a "midrange" processor in it. Personally I have yet to hear a significant argument that there will be any noticeable difference between it and the top phones stat-wise but it...

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    If you say so heh, but I think participating in group sex is a pretty high bar for not being a "complete prude". Then again I would never want to do anything like with someone I was actually in a relationship with, so maybe I'm a complete prude too.

    I would always try not to let them in if they were pulling in front of me. This is dangerous as well, but it always made me so happy when they would catch up with the truck and have to hit their brakes and let all the people that they just passed go by them.

    The Ask Kuriin, A Gay Man, Anything Thread

    True, but women that are into that are like 1 in 1000 and most of the ones that are got that way by being molested as children and are all fucked up. You can't really participate in swinging unless you have a woman that is down with it since most places don't take single guys. Technically...

    2013 NFL Season

    Yeah, if they had somehow beat Detroit on Thanksgiving, then they are thinking about getting him back in there and maybe going on a playoff run. Since they didn't, the season is essentially over and he might as well take the time to heal completely and be back to 100% next year.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I think it would scale, I just don't have the manpower or infrastructure to attempt it on the whole ranch, but I have heard nothing but good things about it and I am trying to implement the principles as much as I can. What does your uncle do for water? Is he set up so each paddock has water...

    Ever work at a position where you do absolutely nothing?

    I have been in both situations and I think having nothing to do is worse. I was a security guard in college and I worked in a warehouse from Noon to Midnight on Saturdays and Sundays. The warehouse closed at 2 on Saturday and wasn't open at all on Sunday so I was literally just supposed to sit...

    400 adult cows, 65 replacement heifers (to replace culls from the cow herd due to infertility, age, death, etc) and 20ish bulls. When the cows have calves I guess there's closer to 900 animals on the place but we tend to talk about the size of a ranch in terms of mother cows. You probably...

    And imperial measurements don't make any sense either, but that's what we have because FUCK YOU. If you don't like it you can always move to France.

    Can the US just ban Celsius from the world please?

    We should stick with feet and inches because our carpenters are better at doing fractions in their head than Euro carpenters. That said, why in the hell do machinists/carpenters use fractions instead of decimals? You don't have to go to metric, you could just make your bolts 1", 1.1", 1.2"...

    Travelling in California

    This is a 4 lane highway though, not a freeway. Sure I'll pass on the right if I need to on a freeway, but I-5 out in farm country is different. You're going to go about the speed everyone else is going and passing on the right is just making traffic slower and more dangerous for everyone and...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I have a bit less than 500 animals if you count everything. Just under 400 mother cows. It's a cow/calf operation so we run the cows on grass and supplement with hay/grain during the winter but I don't have a feedlot. I sell the calves in the fall to a feedlot or whomever else might like to...

    This thread has warmed my heart. I'm going to give Izo a +1 for negging people in here since this thread has filled me with the spirit of Christian love and non-dickishness of the Netsmas season.

    Travelling in California

    The thing that always got to me on I-5 was the aggressive drivers trying to pass on the right all the time. You can basically drive 75 with the cars in the left lane or 65 with the trucks in the right lane but there were always people who wouldn't accept that and they would pull into the right...

    2013 NFL Season

    If anyone had actually said that, you would have a good point. No one has ever said he was the best QB ever or as good as Steve Young or anything of the sort. You guys just like to imagine that this happened while you are talking trash about him.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I've only been to Olive Garden like twice, but I don't get the hate for it. I thought the food was fine. Certainly better than someplace like Denny's. It's the Italian Applebees/Chili's. Not fine dining or particularly authentic, but the food isn't bad.

    2013 NFL Season

    I'm not saying it's a good number, just that it's not any more logical to leave out the rushing yards/TDs comparing games as you did in your post. The fact that any QB performance this season is rated above Manning's 7 touchdown game makes it obvious that QBR is a very flawed number.

    I don't think one kind of yards are "more important" than another. Yards is yards, touchdowns is touchdowns.

    I think it has more to do with whether the owners/managers give a fuck than which chain you're at when it comes to quality.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    You could be right, but I'm not sensing those levels of butt hurt about Tyson myself. As big of a dick as he has been in confessionals, I don't feel like he has mistreated people the way that some of the bigger villains have. I can't personally see anyone but Cierra and *maybe* Hayden beating...

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    I realize this post is over a week old, but another thing to consider is the fact that in the early 1200s a large percentage of China and the Middle East (both of whom were ahead of Europe in technology, science, and culture) were wiped out by Genghis Khan while Europe (with the exception of...

    The worst place in chinatown is the one that is up on like the 3rd floor of a Pagoda looking building. My friend and I went in there because of the person handing out coupons for free egg rolls in the tourist trap area. The food sucked, they brought us stuff we didn't order (which we assumed...
