    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    So would everyone else but I wonder if you could actually tell the difference. $250M invested at 5% will net you over a million a month just in interest. That means you're spending like $35K a day without touching the principle or even having any risky investments. Unless you are hot to get...

    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    It would be interesting to see an alternate universe where Brady just bargained hard for the most money he could get and if it would have cost him any superbowls and if that would have resulted in his long-term total income going up or down. I'm sure besides the salary each SB win contributes...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    When audio triggers first came out on EQ we had a shaman named "Earldamann" in the guild that was usually the one to slow the boss and then get squashed. I set up an audio trigger of the Dixie Chicks singing "Cause Earl had to die na na na na na Goodbye Earl" whenever it saw the text...

    TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR (2023)

    Whether or not you're into that type of music, you can't help but respect her as a person. For every one of her, there's 1000 skinny blonde chicks that somebody taught to sing and dance and wrote shitty songs for and they had one song or they cracked up from drugs and booze and getting boned by...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I like both All Star and Mr. Jones but maybe I didn't listen to enough top 40 radio to get sick of it. I was mostly listening to country in those days. I do hate Mmm-Bop but just because it takes me 3 days to get it out of my head every time I hear it at the grocery store.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I think a full time guy would be getting a bit carried away but nothing wrong with hiring your retired neighbor to do stuff around the yard. We've also had good luck hiring high school kids in the summertime for a week or two at a time. Contrary to popular belief, there are kids who would...

    RIP. Breeding father to daughter is not recommended although it certainly happens. It will probably be fine but I would consider it a "terminal cross" meaning that the offspring don't get to produce offspring. At the very least don't sell them as breeding stock to someone else. Worst...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    "surrounded by his family, friends, music, and dogs" I've always wondered if musicians listen to their own music. Imagine lying in bed listening to a recording of yourself singing "Cheeseburger in Paradise" as you die.

    Electricity is so cheap that most things you do to conserve it will never pay for themselves. People spend 10's of thousands of dollars on new windows because they're "more energy efficient" but they probably save you about $100/year or something. Just say you wanted new windows.

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    I just hope it's not KC in the superbowl again but I don't really see any reason it wouldn't be. On the other hand, if the 49ers actually beat the Chiefs in the SB, that would be outstanding.

    I know people who actually like the cardboard cookies and not the filling. To be fair, the filling looks a lot like lard and probably melts like it as well. That said, I'm double stuf or better when I can get them. Kind of sucks that they are usually only available in "family size" so I...

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    You are so determined to argue even though you can't do it without building straw men. I didn't say Kaepernick was the fastest QB ever, just that he was fast which he was. I also didn't say anyone would trade a franchise QB, just that's the only thing that would make sense from the 49ers side...

    Who would you trade him for? 2 first rounders that might not amount to anything? He's young, and the best in the league at maybe the 2nd most important position in football. Trading that away is stupid unless he just refuses to play for you which I don't think is the case here.

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    A top tier QB is the only player it would make sense to trade Bosa for, and until Brock Purdy proves himself to not be Drew Brees 2.0 the 49ers aren't really looking for a QB. Probably just negotiating tactics but it is distressing that they would be resorting to that kind of shit this close...

    Car ?'s

    That '85 CJ7 probably didn't have a hard top or air conditioning or automatic transmission either. The $20k base model is a better comparison than the fully loaded model.

    Car ?'s

    It seems like a lot until you compare it with every other option for something similar. Polaris Rangers and John Deere Gators etc. can easily hit $35K fully loaded.

    UTV prices are totally out of hand, especially since the reliability is crap on all of them. They're really handy though. When ours are in the shop (which they are often) you should hear people crying about not being able to use them. I'm curious about the electric bikes too. I've had some...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    I just pay $10/month for NFL+ Premium which lets you stream the games in HD as soon as the game is over. I know not watching sports live is a deal breaker for some but I tend to be doing stuff on Sunday afternoon and DVR the games anyway so watching the game in the evening works fine for me...

    I worked as a weekend security guard in a warehouse when I was in college. It closed at 2 pm on Saturday and my shift was noon to midnight Saturday and Sunday so I was all alone in there for 22 hours every weekend with absolutely nothing to do. One night I got into a rage playing space...

    If you want a real basic jeep, the Mahindra Roxor is a budget friendly option with the significant downside of not being street legal. They are a pretty popular alternative to UTVs around here.

    90's country has really hung in there. I went to a wedding a few weeks ago between two 20 year olds and at the dance afterwards it was Garth Brooks, George Strait, Clint Black, etc. 90% of the songs they played could have been played at a 4-H dance when I was in high school even though the DJ...

    There were running quarterbacks before (Steve Young was another one) but not the RPO. That was what was new. It's not like Kaep invented it, but he was very well suited for it and happened to enter the league in the short window between when offenses started to use it and when defenses...

    It wasn't that no one had seen it, but it was brand new between RG3, Russell Wilson, Kaep, and to a lesser extent Cam Newton. The RPO and all that. Defenses were like "WTF THE QB IS RUNNING AND HE'S FUCKING FAST". It took them about a year to figure out how to defend it and Kaep sucked...

    Maybe, but he's not like Kaepernick where he was doing something that nobody's ever seen before. All Kyle wants Purdy to do is read the field quickly and get the ball to the open man from the pocket. Not really something you're going to find some novel defense against.
