    I scraped off the entire upstairs ceiling in my house. It was part of a full remodel though so the flooring and trim was torn out and the furniture was gone so that made the mess a lot easier to deal with.

    There's all kinds of farming out in the desert where they can get water to it. Citrus, vegetables, cotton, etc. Somewhat questionable whether it's really a good idea to be growing shit out there but people do it.

    I thought mine had too many jalapenos on it. Sort of hard to eat with them all falling out and it was just too much sour for the burger (and I love sour). They weren't too hot, in fact they weren't hot at all, but it's like if you put 15 pickle slices on one burger.

    Yeah, how do you have 40 years of Boston Dynamics video without a single commercial product in it? I know that they're selling a few of those robot dogs now but criminy, that's a long time to not make any money.

    That was a big disappointment for me when I was in Phoenix too. I'd always heard the desert is cool at night but it's not if you are living on 10,000 square miles of pavement and asphalt and there's 800,000 air conditioners pumping hot air into the outdoors. Driving home from work at midnight...

    Living on a ranch I've imagined this problem. I'm not really much of a prepper, but I am in the middle of nowhere with a lot of resources so I know the whole family would show up if the shit hits the fan. On top of that quite a few friends have told me "If society collapses, I'm coming to...

    Somebody gave me one of those dewalt stacking toolboxes so I bought a roller box to go with it only to find out that they have two different lines of them and mine aren't compatible. :P

    When I was in Phoenix in college it was 117 one day and a girl that was in our senior project group decided to roller blade the 2 miles from her house to ours where we were working on the project. When she got there her face was literally purple. Never seen anything like it. I thought she...

    I called ahead to the local BBQ joint for carry-out the other day. Got a piled high sliced brisket sandwich and fries that were so hot they melted the styrofoam clam shell for $14 and I was in and out in 5 minutes. A large combo at most of the drive-thrus in town would have cost just as much...

    We've sold beef to people who wanted everything ground, including their good steaks. I couldn't deal with that so we traded them ground beef for rib eyes and tenderloins pound for pound. People are strange. Depends on what animal you bought. There's a pretty wide range of size that a beef...

    Taco John's is about as bad. I went there the other day and ordered 5 soft tacos and a large drink. Turns out regular ass soft tacos are $3 each now so it was like $18.50. I can get lunch at a sit-down Mexican place for less than that and there will be more and better food.

    What's crazy is that they said he bought 3 pills and they found 2 of them still on him so 1 pill and he's tits up. I wonder if that dealer had any customers left by the end of the week.

    I haven't seen anything about this shake either.

    This is going to be harsh but you need to grow up a bit if you want to be a boss. You sound like a drama queen in those texts and your boss would be an idiot to put his business in the hands of a drama queen. You saying you don't get along with people but you get the spray on the bugs sounds...

    Woodworking

    I'm not sure what you're getting from having the door there. If you just want a plywood desk it seems a lot easier to just make the sheet of plywood your desktop and don't bother with the door. You'd have to get ¾" ply but that seems a lot easier than messing around with an old door.

    As someone with both a standing and chest freezer, the standing freezer is easier to see stuff in, but unless you're going to stack it 6 high, you can't get as much stuff in there and if you do stack it 6 high then it all falls out when you open the freezer. You can sort of improve both by...

    I have a water softener and an iron filter that does the whole house and then an RO system for drinking water that only feeds the ice maker in my fridge and a little extra faucet on the kitchen sink. I think it cost around $6k but that was probably 10 years ago. What is your complaint about...

    Are you talking about buying new? Or used? If new then order direct from the factory. Anything they have on the lot will have $30K+ worth of add-ons. A standard cab with no options is like half the price of a fully loaded pickup and will still have the basic stuff (AC, power windows, etc).

    The Idol

    The producer character was just too over the top to be believable with the dog collar scene being the low point. I thought the show somewhat redeemed itself when they "got rid" of him but then when he came back it was just that much worse.

    Clever way to expose the wires but shoving all that dirt down your drain doesn't seem like a great idea, plus now you have nothing to fill the hole in with. Edit: Nevermind. I guess that's some sort of vacuum? Pretty clever.

    If you get it at the grocery store Valentina is practically free. 34 oz bottle is like $2.99. A friend recently sent me this one after he went to Belize for vacation. The sweet in this comes from carrots and it has a pretty distinct carrot flavor which I wouldn't have really thought...

    I'm putting a front bumper replacement grill guard on this one. Been waiting for the grill guard companies to get the new models out but they are finally ready. I'm told that the cameras and stuff will still work. It messes up adaptive cruise control but I don't have that anyway.
