    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    The money hurts, but there's something satisfying about being in charge of big machinery doing big things. I also like buying stuff by the ton or the semi load for the same reason. You're spending money but at least you're getting a lot of something. The things I hate spending money on are...

    Yeah, they're barely the same animal. We used to get unsexed chicks and butcher the roosters but after we raised some broilers I just can't go back to those egg layer roosters so we get sexed laying hens and then buy broilers. The broilers are kind of tricky though. They die at the drop of a...

    Totally agree. Once you get past the part where you look stupid wearing them, you have hands-free light that is always pointed exactly where you're looking. I don't know why I don't use mine more.

    I don't get the rage over any commentators. I can barely manage to give enough of a shit to form an opinion one way or the other. Can't imagine getting all aggro over it.

    2022 NFL Offseason Thread: Looking forward Tua better future!

    I don' Yeah I'm interested. I usually prefer to pay for my entertainment and once Sunday Ticket is available on the net I will probably pay for it but keeping my $150/month DirecTV for another year is a bridge too far for me.

    Smokers / Grills

    2 tips I wish I had the first time I cooked brisket... 1) Use the crutch 2) Plan on it being ready a good 3 hours before you plan to eat. Maybe 4. Have a cooler ready to put it in straight out of the smoker and put a blanket over it. Don't take it out until you're ready to slice and eat...

    Damn I wish this was happening a year earlier. I finally have internet capable of streaming now and being able to watch 49ers games out of season is the only reason I still have DirecTV now. I really want to watch those games but at this point it's going to cost me $1800 to keep DirecTV for...

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    That's actually the first things that Neuralink is targeting. Trying to fix that sort of thing.

    What feature(s) or circumstance would persuade you to install a brain implant?

    So for those of you that said you would never do it. What about if you became paralyzed, blind or deaf and the implant could give you those abilities back?

    I think the fireplace is probably a pretty good guess. I heat my house with a wood stove and I seem to cough more in the winter time. Never really investigated it though.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    Even pine would be fine, especially if you paint or stain it. All our outbuildings are sided with pine. Needs some repairs occasionally. Just not glued together stuff out in the rain, or if you use OSB/plywood then it needs some siding over it. This is what I mean by board and batten...

    Beginner/casual golf clubs?

    Golf is only fun until you try to be good at it. Embrace the suck or be prepared to go broke trying to win. It's a really ingenious way to extract money from people.

    I built my welding table like this... Minus the holes cause ain't nobody got time to drill that many holes through half inch steel. It's great because you can stick clamps through the gaps and clamp stuff almost anywhere on the table. I've never seen a woodworking bench like that but it...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    That's pretty cool but I think they need to put some kind of siding on it or that osb is going to disintegrate in the weather. If you don't want siding it would be better to use board and batten than OSB or plywood out in the weather.

    1883

    1932 might be an interesting time. Most of the homesteaders came to Montana in the 1920's and then went broke and left in the 30's dust bowl. I imagine John Dutton II would have been a kid then and they would have been building up the giant ranch they have now? The early (pre-1900)...

    My brother was making a bar/counter with concrete counter tops and he was thinking he would just make one pour and have the whole thing at 42" bar height which would have worked fine for him since he's 6' 3". Luckily he mocked it up with plywood first and realized that it hit his wife right...

    That's a lot of workbench. Do you think you will actually utilize that much space or will it just wind up being a place to pile shit? There's something to be said for your workbench being on wheels so you can move it out to the middle of the garage for some things as well although maybe not...

    This was when I lived in California. He definitely didn't reject Asian culture. He was in a constant fight with his teenage daughters because he wanted them to speak Mandarin but they would only speak English. His cousin ran a Chinese restaurant and he took a group of us there for lunch...

    Yeah, even though we saw her get shot in the first episode, I didn't see them killing her off. Since they're in Wyoming already though, the whole thing about "We'll stay where she's buried but not here" sort of makes sense if they take her up to Montana and establish a homestead there.

    I mostly use my flat bottomed wok for deep frying things. I like to imagine that because of the wide top you get less spatter and if you're frying things with a stick in them they lean against the edge really nicely. I went to a Chinese guy I know (actually born in China and spoke Chinese...

    That is an insane price for that thing. A whole workbench with drawers for half of what most places want for just the top. Almost makes me want to buy it just because it's so cheap. I came across this thing on Amazon of all places and I think it might be my best bet. Will have to cut 6"...

    Miniature (not toy) poodles are great old lady dogs. Super smart, don't shed at all, hypoallergenic, won't knock her over like a lab/golden/German Shepard puppy might. Very athletic and can be taught to do anything. Very nice companion dogs.
