    Car ?'s

    Yeah it was pretty clear from the beginning that towing is a non-starter with the lighting, at least if you want to go more than 50 miles. I would say that most people who are going to be pulling a trailer regularly probably aren't buying a half ton pickup anyway but it's a pretty significant...

    10-20 good whacks with a sledge hammer will turn that thing into gravel. Good way to take out frustration too.

    No sarcasm intended. If you had wheels on it, you wouldn't need the concrete was my thought. Put the wheels on both gates and then get rid of the concrete which is probably going to take out your muffler some time while you're trying to use the gate.

    Smartphones

    I have zero complaints about the pixel A series. I imagine the fall models would be better yet but I'm not sure how noticeably different it would be. Smartphones are so good now I can't really see the upside of the $1000+ models aside from a status symbol.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    Not all car accidents are fatal either, although you make a good point about driving being more important. The point stands though, that the vast majority of pit bull owners are not going to have a problem.

    Pit bulls - The Breed of Peace

    In the context of the number of dogs there are, it's still pretty safe. According to Google, there are 18 million pit bulls in the US. If 33 of them killed someone, that's 1 in 50,000. When people say their pit bull would never hurt someone, 99.998% of them are right. I don't think I'd...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I replaced my microwave with a convection toaster oven 2 years ago and haven't looked back. I occasionally wish I had the microwave too and I may eventually get one, but I wouldn't trade the toaster oven for it.

    Woodworking

    When I was doing woodworking in 4-H as a kid the guy who was teaching me said that a good woodworker isn't one that doesn't make mistakes but one that knows how to cover them up so according to him you're doing it right.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    The Yoder is going to be smoking for 30 hours straight over the next couple of days. Doing a brisket for a community gathering tomorrow evening and then 4 pork butts for a birthday party at noon on Saturday. I think I'll just put the butts in when I take the brisket out unless it cooks a lot...

    Rings of Power: Tolkien's Shambling Skinsuit

    Yeah I don't get why people talk about the two shows as if it's a competition. It's not like people who are into swords and sorcery shows can't watch 2 hours of TV a week.

    2022-23 NFL Season : Herbert's march to Glendale

    I wonder what would happen if the just played Hufanga at linebacker. He makes most of his plays around the line of scrimmage anyway. Coverage isn't his strong point. He's about 25 lbs light for it but with the way he plays and al-Shahir out it could make sense. Nice to see Deommodore Lenoir...

    House of the Dragon

    Maybe it's just my TV or something but the dark episodes have never bothered me. I'm more triggered by movies where it's supposed to be night but not only can we see everything but so can the actors because there's just light for some reason.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Maybe you're supposed to thin gravy from a can? Can't say I've ever opened a can but it brings forth images of some of the more white trash people I know sitting in their trailer eating gelatinous country gravy straight from the can.

    House of the Dragon

    I agree. It also really brings home how blatantly everyone is lying about Rhaenyra's kids. I loved the scene where Aegon was like "We know. Everybody knows. Just look at them." It's definitely getting hard to keep track of which white-haired weirdo is which.

    Yeah I'm not a fan of the "organic" label or the rules around it either. It's a dumb little check box of doing things that sound good to the consumer but might not actually be better for health or the environment. "Regenerative farming" is a new buzzword, but they're actually trying to do...

    The idea that left wing people are less creative is obviously retarded, but you could maybe make a case that people who are so ideologically captured that they can't keep their ideology from infecting whatever they're trying to create aren't going to produce any great art. "Atlas Shrugged"...

    Weather

    Propane is better yet although it might be harder to refuel in a disaster it doesn't go bad from sitting. Everybody that has a whole home generator in this area runs it on propane but then most of them have a 500 gallon tank of it sitting there for their furnace already.

    Only because they're still using the same rocket platform that they built in the 60's. It's the equivalent of if the US just kept making the Saturn V and never did the space shuttle etc. You could definitely argue that the space shuttle program was a mistake, but it's not like Russia has...

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Part of what makes Joe unique is that he's balls deep in several different topics that lots of people are interested in. I don't think many people actually listen to every episode but he's got comedy fans, UFC fans, diet and exercise fans, hunting fans, UFO/conspiracy fans, politics fans, etc.

    "Organic" meat means the animals were fed organic feed which is why you don't see it very often. "Natural" beef means that it was raised without synthetic hormones or antibiotics and is much more common. Organic doesn't really mean healthier, or better for the environment, it just means that...

    Tried the Arby's fried pies last night. Strawberries and cream wouldn't be my first choice for filling but the blistered crust and rocket hot filling took me back to the good old days. For a long time after McD's started baking their pies instead of frying them they still had fried ones at...

    Car ?'s

    I was tempted to try to pull of something like that too. I bought my pickup in 2018 for $20k 4 years and 40k miles later I think I could have sold it for $25k. Not enough money to be worth the hassle but it is pretty crazy to think that your car has gone up in value. Doesn't usually happen.
