    Breaking Bad

    Same here. I liked "Better Call Saul" quite a bit but I could never get on board with people saying it was better or even as good as Breaking Bad.

    Put a chunk of 2x4 from the existing board out to the nearest stud on either side. Screw it into them to hold it in place, then put a third piece of 2x4 all the way across the top of all 3 boards and get it well attached to the studs on both sides.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I've heard that all of the lithium ion batteries in the world have enough capacity to power the US grid for like 3 minutes if you could somehow hook them all up. Without huge advances in battery tech we aren't going to be running the grid on batteries anytime soon either.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    They're not going to be building transmission lines out of this stuff any time soon. It will be a massive invention if they can just use it internally in microchips.

    Oppenheimer (2023)

    The Germans tried the method of making weapons-grade plutonium that the US used and it failed because the graphite that they used had impurities in it but they didn't know that. The result was that they gave up on that method and tried to use heavy water. The Allies knew they were trying to...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    I use a disposable blade folding scalpel. Same knife I used for castrating calves. You can't even feel yourself being cut by it. The downside is, especially with the calves, things start jumping around and you touch that blade, you are 100% getting cut.

    I grew up chopping heads and just recently switched to the slit throat/kill cone and I think it's better. Nice and quiet without all the flopping around, torn skin and broken bones you get from severing the spinal cord.

    Dark Winds

    I watched Season 1. Looking forward to Season 2. I was watching Reservation Dogs and Longmire at the same time and it's pretty funny to see all the same actors but I guess there's not that many Native Americans in Hollywood.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Passive-aggressively punishing them will only make things worse. Be a man and tell them they hurt your feelings and give them a chance to make it right. Then whatever happens get over it and get on with your life. They can be shitty if they want to, you don't have to stoop to the same level...

    There was a motivation to make quality stuff back then. Unfortunately people tend to buy the cheapest option so it's been a race to the bottom on price and quality has gone down with it. Who cares if your toaster only lasts 2 years when you can get a replacement at Walmart for $20 and put it...

    If they're like chickens then mating is basically rape so they don't really need to like each other.

    Are you talking about the one with the drawer freezer on the bottom? I have that and I like it quite a bit. It's a bit less convenient to access the freezer but more convenient to access the refrigerator which I do about 10x as much as the freezer. If you go that way though, don't get the...

    So My Wife Died...

    Good move on the dog. Good point on the "living your life" part too. We're taught to always sacrifice for the future and we need to do that, but you have to enjoy your life from day to day as well. No one is guaranteed a retirement no matter how responsible they are financially. There's a...

    Hang them upside down from a tree branch or something and slit their throat with a razor blade. Hanging upside down calms them down and they don't even know they are cut if you use a razor.

    Meat birds are different. You won't get attached to them because they only live for 6 weeks and don't do anything but eat.

    I am being given a business

    I don't know about Brad but this has been my experience with these guys. My sister's ex was a competent plumber but thought that was pretty much on par with being a Nobel laureate in physics or something so if he didn't get a good night's sleep he thought he should be able to come in late...

    That's probably where I heard it too. He said it himself FWIW, I'm not just repeating rumors or something. Maybe I shouldn't have said "supposedly".

    I watched 2 episodes and then Netflix noticed I was using my sister's account and shut me down. Going to have to wait for a more compelling show before I subscribe and then I'll watch this too.

    I am being given a business

    That's the perspective that matters my good man. Your job is not to poison bugs. Your job is to provide more value than your cost to the company which includes not making your boss' life hell and it sure sounds like you're not doing your job.

    Supposedly Jordan Peterson cooks his steaks in an air fryer when he's traveling because he's on a steak only diet. When he gets to the city he buys an air fryer and enough steak to last for how long he's going to be there and then just leaves the air fryer in the hotel room when he goes home...

    I've made tons of corn dogs using Alton Brown's recipe. I deep fry them in a wok so the sticks can rest on the outer edge of the wok and the dogs stay in the grease. https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/corn-dogs-recipe-1941945 If you're making them for kids consider leaving out...

    Thanks for posting. This was a good way to kill 5 hours of baling hay. Listening to these guys talk really brings home how dumbed down most football media is and how clueless most of the blowhard fans are.

    Good luck with that theory. Your posts here remind me so much of my sister's ex who was a plumber and never stopped talking about how amazing he was and how stupid and worthless everyone else in his company was. My sister dumped him and now he's in jail, probably still bitching about how...

    This is why I won't replace my drop tile ceiling in the basement with sheet rock. Sure it would look nicer, but it's just too handy to be able to pop out whatever tile I want and have access to the electrical and plumbing for most of the house. I would love this floor in my basement actually...
