Yeah just because you did something doesn't mean you did everything they charged you with and maybe you can negotiate a lesser charge in exchange for not taking it to court. "Not guilty" is just an opening position.

I'm typing this on a 2013 HP chromebook. It pretty much sucks now, bogs down if I open more than 4 or 5 tabs, but just the fact that it's still usable as an 8 year old laptop that originally cost $368 is pretty good. I like it. Never crashes (at least before it was an antique), very secure...

Okay, my mistake. I had erased that game from my memory. Thanks for bringing it back asshole.

That's just playing football. What's he supposed to do? Run as fast as Sammy Watkins? Ain't going to happen.

Nice. Is it uncool to use a dado set vs. just sending it across the table saw 75 times? Also I thought cool woodworkers didn't like biscuit joints. Maybe that's just a couple people I've seen? I would love to work in that shop. Just the table saw with that gigantic sled would be a game...

Sherman was my most hated Seahawk for sure. Especially after he broke up the touchdown pass to Crabtree in the last play of the NFC championship and then went to a camera and started talking shit about it. That superbowl was the one and only game I have ever rooted for the Patriots and Sherman...

That happened to me once when I was in college. I had a coupon for a "free brake inspection" and they put it on the lift and then told me that my tires were so worn that they couldn't legally give my car back without new tires. I was like "Well if you want to put tires on it it's your call but...

Wish some of that would come up here. We're having the worst drought since 1988 in SE Montana. We're not going to make a single bale of hay this year and neither are most people who can't irrigate. Normal prices for cow hay is around $90-$120 a ton and this year it's looking more like $250 a...

Yeah it's probably more accurate to say that history hasn't been kind to people who make long term predictions, whether they are optimistic or pessimistic.

History hasn't been kind to people who say things are impossible on the technology front. In 1971 the idea of watching any movie you can imagine on demand from a device you carry in your pocket which can also instantly access pretty much all of human knowledge was firmly in sci-fi territory...

I would burn my house down in a fit of rage long before I got that to come together.

Even at $200k per seat it's hard to imagine people paying that for 4 minutes of weightless. The vomit comet is only $7500 and you get 15 maneuvers with 30 seconds of weightlessness per maneuver. Sure you can tell people you went to space but they're all going to come back with "Yeah, but not...

I'll second seamless gutters. Some guys will even come to your house and roll them out and just leave them if you want to put them out yourself. I did the jointed ones on the front of my house last summer because I didn't want to beg someone to come out to the sticks but every joint leaks even...

I think I'm on board with the black pipe closet rods. Especially if you had them on hand. Probably better than an actual closet rod in every way and it's not like you spend a lot of time looking at them once there are clothes hanging on them.

World record sizes aren't really relevant. The biggest human was 974 lbs but that doesn't tell you anything about how big humans are really. Around here coyotes are around 30 lbs and bobcats are around 20.

That's beautiful. I am so hot to sign up for that. I had thought maybe the reason I wasn't selected for beta was because there were no ground stations close enough but I looked it up on the map and there is one in Slope county ND, which is like 55 miles from my house as the crow flies. Going...

Coyotes do get together sometimes but they don't really run in packs like wolves. It's very common to see them by themselves. Coyotes are bigger than bobcats but cats are evil so you can't count them out. I don't think either would chose to mess with the other unless there was no choice.

Does either of them have at least a purple belt in jiu-jitsu?

You also have to figure in depreciation/maintenance costs/insurance/taxes on your truck, not just the gas, along with any other overhead/infrastructure you will have in the future and also what your time is worth. You might not be paying yourself yet, but at some point you need to be making a...

They're still a good team without either Hill or Kelce. Back to back superbowls good? Probably not.

Congratulations and good luck.

I can't believe Bezos' board isn't telling him not just no, but hell no. If Branson wants to go down in a fiery crash it's probably not a big deal at this point but Bezos is pretty fucking important.

There are plenty of people like this. The ghettos and trailer parks of America don't just exist because of the corporations and the elites preying on the under class (although they do do that). There are also millions and millions of people living in absolute chaos due to drugs and alcohol and...

To suck money out of the system like the rent seeking leeches they are.

They both want it because it's one thing that either of them has a chance to do that SpaceX hasn't already done.

It's pretty easy to get a real estate license and it's possible to make a lot of money selling houses so some people think that taking the classes and taking the test is actually what makes you able to sell houses. I've heard as many as 80% of new real estate agents fail in their first year...

I have a neighbor with two Kubota tractors and he likes them. Did you get a cab? Attachments?

What kind of tractor are you getting?

What do you need a bigger one for? I have both a Stihl and a Husqvarna with 24" blades but my favorite is the 36v Makita electric saw with a 16" blade. It's so lightweight and quiet. Obviously it's not up to sawing firewood all day or taking down big trees, but I use it for everything I can...

You should at least buy a couple whole pig carcasses and hang tham in a tree and film yourself going crazy on them like Doug Marcaida.

Try sticking it in the freezer for a while?

I'm no expert, but the appliance lady at the local ace hardware told me it didn't really matter between the Frigidaire and Maytag gas ranges I was looking at but she really strenuously recommend the KitchenAid dishwasher. I bought it and it seems to work well. Not much to compare it to since...

My jeans get really fucking dirty and my Samsung front loader on "deep steam" mode gets them cleaner than my top loader ever did. I have no idea what it does and it takes an hour and 45 minutes but it's effective.

I've watched a few of those meetings on pornhub.com and they always just wind up having an orgy.

If you build an enclosure like this.... ...and face it south you will be amazed how much protection it gives. It's almost as good as being in a fully enclosed shed. My old house had a little lean-to like this on the south side of the shed and there was a roll of toilet paper in the back of...

Picked up a vehicle from being repaired at the local ford dealership yesterday and I counted that they only had 9 pick-ups on the lot. Then as I left I noticed 2 of them had SOLD signs in the window. This place would usually have like 60 trucks on the lot. We need a new one but I wouldn't...

And if you want to eat at a particular time, plan your cook to end at least a couple of hours before that. Nothing worse than a bunch of people ready to eat and your brisket that was supposed to take 12 hours takes 15. On the other hand, I once had a brisket that was done at 6 am and I wrapped...

What you're paying for with high end liquor, wine, food, etc. mostly is the feeling of being better than other people. Even things like cars are like this to some extent. This becomes apparent every time a so-called expert is stupid enough to submit to a blind taste test and fails miserably at...
