He's splitting it right on the ground. Most people set it on another log so it's not so awkward to hit. Also a pretty large percentage of your logs probably won't fit in the tire unless you have different sizes lying around for different logs.

It's been very crashy lately. Not as bad as the NFL app though. The game I watched Sunday crashed like 5 times and it doesn't remember where you were so you have to restart the game and then fast forward to where you left off. Also, the FFWD on it is janky as hell. Both Amazon and...

It doesn't radiate. They are stupid for calling it a microwave bag because everyone is going to think it does. It's just made of material that heats up when current passes through it like any other heater.

Yeah, they send them to everyone. There must be some kind of database with addresses of everyone who owns a car that they can buy because they know the make and year of your car but nothing else about you.

Pretty sure the standard thing now is to make sure you have to subscribe to their streaming service for at least 3 months to watch the whole season. Of course you can just wait until the last episode comes out and binge it in a month if you don't mind seeing it later than everyone else.

Unless he's working for the government. Those of us who have all know there are people in every department that do jack shit but sit in their office and surf the internet all day. Eventually people just figure out how to go around them and then they're really set. It's severely demotivating...

I'm sure I had similar things. Sort of shows the fucked up incentives in education. Thinking about everyone cheating on college tests we were all there paying to be educated and then finding ways to not learn what we were there to learn because we just wanted the diploma and grades. Kids...

I'm pretty sure I just had an 81. The blue one.

You could write in BASIC on the TI's too. I had a little blackjack program but I was too lazy to figure out how to handle the aces so it just gave you a random number between 1 and 10 for your cards. Programming test answers into the calculators was big in college. I assumed the professors...

I guess I missed out on the calculator team hehe. It was all about TI-81s in high school and then we got into the HPs in college which was a whole new world.

My HP48G is still working I'm pretty sure. Nobody knows how to do reverse polish notation but once you get the hang of it you can't go back plus it has the added bonus that normies can't use your calculator.

The rare occasion when I'm happy that the cowboys won. I don't like to complain about the refs, especially in a win, but whoever called back Wishnowski's once in a lifetime run over a weak ass low block can go suck a dick.

Long distance is probably the #1 thing I remember my parents fighting about as a kid. My mom was a telephone addict and it really added up for a while there.

I think both chest and upright freezers are available in either frost free or regular. If you don't want to defrost it once a year or so the ones with a fan will save that but dry it out in there leading to earlier freezer burn. I find the upright freezers easier to find stuff in but you can't...

If you want to get an idea what it would cost to put in a well, look up the well registry for your state. Most states have a map with all the wells on it and you can click on a few in your area and see how deep people are going to get water. Here's the one for Kentucky...

My bad. I was assuming you lived on the other property. Hauling water in isn't the best thing but it's not the end of the world. Sounds like you might be asking a lot of the mini-split to provide the only heat but you might want to keep the propane heater if it still works and get a new...

What part of the country are you in? I'm assuming since all they had was a wall heater that it doesn't get too cold so the mini-split might be sufficient. I'm further assuming since there's a cistern that they didn't have a well and hauled in water? Is your current property on a well and if...

The potato ole's are good for sure. The rest of it is okay but the prices are just out of hand. You used to be able to go there and have several options that were all under $2 and you could get a bag full of stuff for $8-10. Now it's double that. I have been to Del Taco and it's pretty...

At my old job we had a couple of these before laptops started to get powerful enough to go out in the field.

I had that after a 4-wheeler wreck. It only lasted about 7 hours for me but my family was freaking out until it went away. Still don't remember anything about a 24 hour period around the accident.

Yeah, that was not a "passer". They haven't reached the point where you are penalized for any tackle other than gently lowering him into a featherbed on non-qbs yet.

Everyone always tells me how lucky I am to have Taco John's instead of Taco Bell here but at Taco John's the crunchy taco itself is $2.99.

You would have gone broke buying 9ers QB jerseys in the 2000s. From 2003-2010 there were 10 different starting quarterbacks in SF.

Did anyone else buy stuff from the "Gifts and Gimmicks" section in the back of Boy's Life Magazine? It was by far my favorite part of the magazine. Don't think I ever actually fell for x-ray glasses, but I bought a shitload of knives, including the "Rambo" survival knife on multiple occasions...

Anyone else remember the days on USENET when someone would make a negative post about Scientology and the newsgroup would become unreadable for 2 weeks due to people spamming gibberish to it?

The funniest part of the whole thing is the idea that all these peak condition muscle bound football players need protection from that tub of guts.

I feel the need for a George Kittle appreciation post. He didn't score on Sunday, but if you watch all 3 of Deebo's touchdowns, Kittle is out there wrecking people in front of him. Aside from Trent Williams, I don't know if there's a better blocker in the NFL. Safetys and corners see him...

What would work even better is if you just sneak a dagger onto the field and when they do the brotherly shove the safety just runs in and stabs the QB in the kidney. It won't help with the current play, but lets see how he plays the rest of the game with that dagger in his kidney! Eh? Eh...

I think the onions are just to make the flavor of the liver less noticeable.

He didn't just take hits, he actually tried to dish them out too. QB who thought he was a linebacker. It wasn't good football but it was sort of fun to watch.

It was a little chilly here, but zero sharks.

I'm definitely not engaging with this nonsense, in the cooking thread of all places, but on the off chance that you're actually sincere, let me just say.... Go fuck yourself you fucking weirdo.

You might be surprised.

You're still pretty progressive IMO. I'm 46 and I still feel extremely uncomfortable watching a movie sex scene with my mom.

My dad let my brother and I watch "An American Werewolf in London" when we were way too young for it and my brother had nightmares for weeks. Pretty funny to come back to it as an adult and realize it was basically a comedy with a wacky rubber suit.

Man I never had one but I can remember a girl in my school who would never shut up about her "Casio VL-Tone".

I didn't grow up with overcooked meat thankfully but I did grow up eating vegetables out of cans. I ate very little pork growing up because our beef and chicken was "free" so buying pork seemed extravagant. Funny thing is I actually liked liver and onions growing up, but I tried it recently for...

Do they have trolling motors with built in Lithium Ion batteries now or do you still have to pack around a car battery? I just bought a lithium ion jump start pack and it's so awesome compared to the ones with the lead acid batteries. It's not much bigger than a Ti-81 calculator and it can...

I really wanted to believe that the 9ers were going to blow out Philly but I couldn't even bring myself to say it out loud. Just the way Philly has struggled and been pulling out wins made me think they weren't on our level but then when they came out and went 3 and out on the first 2...

There is a distinct sad-sack vibe to this thread. I think some people are genuinely happier when their team is terrible.
