    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    How much milk did you get from the miniature? I doubt a larger goat will really be much harder to deal with than the minis. My girlfriend was milking a La Mancha for a while and she was really not much trouble from what I could see.

    Mandolin slicers are just dangerous. The hand protector thing is useless, just throw it away. You just have to pay attention and stop slicing before you get to your fingertips. It's really not that hard. This is the one I use and it's excellent. Before I got this one I bought one of...

    Jerry Springer dies aged 79

    It's still pretty remarkable that people would pretend to be insane trailer trash and ruin their reputations with people who knew them just to be on national TV.

    Probably spaced about 300 miles apart on all the main trucking routes. At least that's how the Flying J's are around here. Our local Flying J shut down and the explanation was that it was only 150 miles from the next one along the interstate to the west and 80 miles from one to the east and...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Holy shit. When I saw that I thought it must at least be lithium batteries but no, AAA's. That's some wacky shit right there.

    The Americans

    I agree. FX was killing it there for a while. The Americans, Justified, Fargo, even the first few seasons of Sons of Anarchy were great.

    The Astronomy Thread

    I never really tested it but I always thought that if I just stopped going to work except for stopping in to say hi to the secretary around 8AM and then again before she left at 4 I could have stopped even going to my desk and it would have been weeks before anyone really thought anything was wrong.

    Same here. I'm not going to Mars until there's something to do there. Right now you're pretty much volunteering to spend years in a Winnebago with a bunch of strangers. Sure you have an extremely unique view out the window but I bet that starts to get less exciting before too many years go by.

    If you were wondering if the board had the requisite number of people who hate the female character for this show, the answer is yes.

    Apparently they're not raising their prices at all so I can just cancel my $6.99 a month subscription to Discovery+ and have it all in one app now.

    The Americans

    Yeah, great show but I don't think it has any modern day influence. One thing that you should know is that the show is as much about the relationship between the two main characters and their kids as it is about the spy shit. There's a fair amount of action but it's not 24 or even Homeland...

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    Sorry for a 3rd off-topic post but I found an article about it. Apparently they didn't shoot as many as I remembered but it was still a pretty shitty thing. https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2007/05/23/fire-abatement-goats-shot-dead-in-oakland-hills/

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    When I lived in California there were some people using goats for brush mitigation and some asshole came by during the night with a .22 and killed all 40 of them. No clue if they thought they had some political beef with the project or if they were just psychopaths.

    The scavenger thing is also not really unusual although I can't say I understand why. I had 3 cows die in the same pasture this winter and 2 of them were reduced to bones in a week or two while the third one nothing touched and now a couple of months later she looks like a mummy because her...

    Whiteside is a good name for router bits. Freud is another big name. If you are just using it for a project the Chinese version will probably get the job done but I did have one violently change shape on me once during heavy use which was pretty scary.

    I saw that the New York Times is very concerned that a bunch of dirt fell on the "delicate ecosystem" at Boca Chica. Sounds like the new Deepwater Horizon.

    It does except for the fact that SF has no draft picks to trade for him and no money to pay him. From a football standpoint it would be awesome.

    2023 NFL Offseason Thread - Now with less QB sneaks!

    I want to see him get one more chance personally. Let him start the first 3 or 4 games and see how he does. If he stinks it up, the team is good enough to stay in games anyway and Purdy can come in and he can go be a backup somewhere. If he's good, let him roll. I don't think he has that...

    My 5a doesn't have wireless charging but on the recommendation of someone here I bought one of those little stickers that lets your phone charge wirelessly. Bonus is that having a connector in your USB-C port all the time keeps it nice and clean so if you do need to use it for something it...

    Zero chance he moves unless someone went hog wild convinced that he was the man. Teams are probably offering 4th rounder for him and SF would be stupid to take it unless it was at least a first given their QB situation. I'd be very surprised if he is not a Niner next year.

    My girlfriend makes great pot roasts in the instapot. When I have tried to do it, they sucked. I haven't bothered to get her to teach me because I'd rather just use the slow cooker. Nothing better than coming in the door after a long day of work and smelling your pot roast that's ready to eat.

    This is also why pork shoulder blade steaks are better than loin chops. I don't understand why the steaks are cheaper than the chops but I'm glad they are.

    I find that the tenderloins aren't bad just grilled but the loin is just too lean. I like the idea of pounding it out for schnitzel though. Might give that a shot.

    What do you do with pork loin? I always want to buy it because it's so cheap but there is no drier, less flavorful piece of meat on the planet. Even chicken breast has more flavor than that shit.

    The places that have closed here say it's because they can't get workers. Even paying $16, $17, and $18 an hour McDonald's is drive thru only for a lot of the day. Dining room only stays open from 11-7 because they only have workers for 1 shift. A KFC/A&W combo opened and then closed a year...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I wish he would have Alan Savory on to talk about regenerative agriculture. He's had Joel Salatin and Will Harris on and they mentioned Savory but apparently he didn't take the hint. With Harris especially he kept asking questions that I was thinking "You should be asking Alan Savory this!".

    WarnerMedia launching HBO Max Spring 2020

    I'm sure $16 is the price with ads. I'm currently paying $15.99 for HBO Max with no Ads and $6.99 for Discovery Plus with no ads so $20/month for the no ads version would be a savings for me.

    Why subscribe to YTTV? Do you just like flipping channels or what? I had it for a free trial and didn't see what made it worth having, let alone paying $70 a month for.
