It's sort of interesting. They do have the ability to condemn your land but they are really trying to avoid that. I have joined a landowner's group to hire lawyers to negotiate with the company and they are offering what to me is a pretty significant amount of money for the easement...

California sucks at everything. They are currently surveying to run a 600 kV DC transmission line across part of my ranch. It's one of several that are connecting the eastern and western grids to make it easier for wind and solar power to get from the middle of the country out to the coasts...

Kim turning herself in shamed him. He was willing to scam his way out of what he knew he deserved but he wasn't willing to lose Kim's respect. She has been his conscience at various points in the show.

Ever heard of markets? If demand increases, price goes up, then supply goes up. The government can throw some money in there too if they want to. Increased demand for electricity is not an unsolvable problem, even without the use of coal.

I agree. The grid needing upgrades for new technology is to be expected. You don't stop technology so we can keep using the old electrical grid. The raw materials argument is horseshit. Just because we're not mining them doesn't mean they don't exist. I think Fucker has been reading Exxon...

Marie has held up better than any of the guys in the show for sure.

Turns out Tesla airplanes have to land and charge their batteries every 25 miles.

Joe Manchin sort of had a point when he said if we can't build electric cars fast enough to keep up with the demand, why are we subsidizing them? It does sort of make sense to only give the incentive to lower income folks at least as long as rich people are buying them as status symbols and...

I stand corrected. I am a failure at the dead celebrity thread.

That's what happened to Sonny Bono's wife years ago. She hit a tree skiing, thought she was okay and decided not to get checked, then later in the day her brain swelled and she died.

My plant ID app called it Periscaria maculosa. Common names include lady's thumb, spotted lady's thumb, Jesusplant, and redshank. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persicaria_maculosa If the app is right it sounds like it's generally considered a weed.

I have an NFL app on my android TV Chromecast and it's letting me watch preseason with good quality but I'm assuming it won't work on regular season games.

I'm guessing that they have some way of keeping you from mirroring your phone on the big screen via Chromecast?

She was hot in Donnie Brasco.

Metabo is a good brand. I have one of their bench grinders and their big 6" angle grinder. The angle grinder is a beast. I've burned holes in multiple pieces of clothing from standing in the sparks which has never happened with the other angle grinders I have.

Buy the Tormek if you want to sharpen fine edges though. You have to be good to not destroy a fine edge with a bench grinder and even better with an angle grinder. If you really want to be able to both grind and sharpen with it you probably want a 2" x 72" belt grinder but they're expensive.

It was pretty suspenseful watching pictures materialize one line at a time from aol newsgroups. When I got internet fast enough that the whole picture just instantly appeared...I'm not going to lie...something was lost.

If you put one on an angle grinder, wear safety glasses. They are a lot more rpms than a drill and wires fly out of it and stick into your body parts sometimes. I think I'd get an angle grinder before a bench grinder. More versatile and you can always stick it in the vise if you need it to...

You could put a shelf on the wall that would come out and fill the gap.

200 minutes damn. If I was a hooker I would charge 10x the usual rate if somebody wanted to hammer away for over 3 hours. Fuck that.

I would watch the Mike as a dirty cop show just to see Jonathan Banks at 80 playing a 35 year old cop in Philly with no makeup like he's some kind of Benjamin Button character.

His opinion of LOTR is pretty suspect anyway since it happens to be coming out at the same time as a show that he makes money on.

This. But also know that they will rust again, even inside your house unless you clear coat them. EDIT: After seeing that picture I see that it has the anti-rust oil on it too. Might be worth picking up a gallon of acetone to clean them. It will be a lot cheaper than WD-40 and probably...

I think he was hoping for some kind of coaching or front office job with the 49ers. This probably won't help with that.

Yeah, might as well call it the soggy burger.

The ones I remember are the hookers holding signs that say he can fuck for 2 hours or something.

Yeah because we all eat chips because we didn't know they are bad for you.

200 miles to the nearest Cinnabon for me :P. I could probably take down a tube of Pillsbury grands cinnamon rolls and pretend though.

I always called her show "Everyday Italian with Giada's Boobs". Another one that I thought was pretty hot even into her 50's was Nigella Lawson.

As has been noted, the other way to keep your cheese sauce from "breaking" aka turning into a lumpy, oily mess, is to add some Monterey jack or American or some other melty cheese to it. The downside of this is that Monterey Jack isn't particularly flavorful either, not that it tastes bad and...

The point is that you can use a high quality cheddar cheese or something that isn't cheddar at all. Anything that's sold as American cheese is going to be bland and flavorless. I use this usually... ...and then some fresh grated parmesan to taste but you can use any cheese you like. One...

Oh right. It's definitely possible that some little old lady was still using it then even if she probably had other options. I think it was around that time that it came out that a large percentage of AOL's income was people who had gotten other internet but never bothered to cancel their AOL...

Did it show him using dial up? Only us country people were still on dial up in 2010.

Since this is the cooking thread, if you actually want good mac and cheese, it's not much harder to make than the box version except for grating the cheese. It's been posted here before but it's worth repeating because it's fucking amazing and literally anyone can make it. I've been the hero...

Weren't they already sold out for two years? If there's that much demand you would be stupid not to raise the price.

I have to agree with Mist about this one. A good interviewer is supposed to be a proxy for the audience, not part of the show. It's supposed to be about the guest, not the interviewer. I don't know what kind of "takes" you're looking for from him but that's not what the show is about at all...

I don't think he really shafted them, they were just butt hurt because he took their business and made it 100,000x bigger than they managed to.

Mac and cheese from a box is one of those things I get a feeling of nostalgia for when I see it in the store so I buy it and it sounds good right up until I take the first bite and then I remember that it's actually not very good at all. Won't stop me from buying it again in 6 months though. I...
