    Most underrated and overrated movies ever

    Yeah I nearly barfed in the movie theater. It was nothing compared to Cloverfield though. At least I could watch the Blair Witch Project and just felt sick by the end. Cloverfield I was staring at the floor through the whole thing and still had to go outside a couple of times during the movie...

    I still wonder about something being loose in your panel. If something is arcing it seems like it would have to be on one of the buses since it's effecting multiple breakers or possibly the neutral although there really shouldn't be any arcing on the neutral. It might be interesting to see if...

    That's why head coaches don't tank even if GMs or owners do. Sure you might get a good draft pick, but you won't be around to use it.

    I think the Bills are going to get there. Rodgers vs. either Allen or Mahomes should be entertaining though.

    The Prepper Thread

    Well I think if you're really serious about being prepared for some kind of societal breakdown, getting out of the city has to be step one. Drilling wells is serious business though. Around here they cost about $45/foot. Pretty affordable if you're just going 100 feet, but you might be going...

    I was looking at the Shop Fox too. I have a Shop Fox metal cutting band saw and a drill press and they are okay but I sort of wish I had sprung for a Jet or something. They've gotten a lot of use and they're still going but they ain't what they used to be. I've played with a shop fox table...

    If you ever get a chance to hear Steve Young talk about his time in Tampa it's pretty entertaining. That organization was a real shit show back then and stayed that way for a long time.

    What do you guys think about adding a better fence to a table saw. I have an old Craftsman table saw that belonged to my grandfather and I would like to keep using it for sentimental reasons and because I don't want to spend the money on a new one but the fence sucks on it and it's a bit under...

    Yeah I have wood chisels but I don't know how well i can cut an angle inside there. Maybe it would make sense to do something like this to avoid that.

    So my girlfriend asked if I could build something like this for her Berkey water filter. Of course I can, but I am thinking about complicating it for myself. I have always wanted to do a wedged through tenon, kind of like this... I would probably make it out of a hardwood 2x4 to give myself...

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I've heard that if you have a heart attack before 50 it's probably genetic no matter how healthy or unhealthy you are (short of say, massive amounts of cocaine or something). You can damage your heart by being unhealthy/having uncontrolled high blood pressure but it takes a while.

    I was a EE in a past life but I can't think of an explanation for this. A good rule of thumb though whenever electrical circuits start acting haunted, it's usually because of a grounding problem. Maybe a loose wire in your neutral or ground bars or something broken in there. There could be...

    And a lot of times it's just to go fail as a head coach. I think when the Chargers hired Norv Turner away from the 49ers to be their head coach it made both teams worse.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It was ideal. Dominate for 3/4 of the game and then lose it in the 4th to improve draft position. Sort of wish they had done the same last week vs. the Cards. Holy shit watching CJ Beathard try to play quarterback is painful. In the first half it seemed like he didn't want to even try to...

    I don't know what's causing it, but i'd get it checked out asap. Very weird, especially if it started effecting multiple circuits at the same time. Is it always the same breaker getting tripped or multiple ones?

    Bandwagon's Drones Thread

    If you just want to get some shots of your parent's house there is probably someone who would come out and do it for much less than the cost of a drone. On the other hand, if you tell the neighbors what you're doing, I think the chances of you getting in any trouble doing a 1-time flight to...

    A lot of trades are getting that way. The average age of a welder in the US is 55 as well. Farmers it's pushing 60. Construction trades it's about 40 but it's getting older every year. I hope people know that these people are the ones that actually make society work and software engineers...

    Out west we don't have access to a lot of hardwood unless you're on the coast. Pine isn't the greatest firewood but there's an infinite supply right out my back door. The only real hardwood that grows here is Ash and there's way less of it than pine.

    Smokers / Grills

    Most of them have a hole and a little metal door that closes over it to just leave enough space for the wires after you pass the probe through. I find this to be very adequate but I imagine the silicone ones are probably a bit tighter seal.

    Ham vs Turkey

    You don't want to make stuffing inside the bird no matter how you're cooking it. You will either wind up with stuffing that hasn't gotten warm enough in the middle to kill bacteria and catch salmonella or you will overcook your bird in order to get the stuffing done. Better to just make the...

    Not generally. There's no breading. It's just like turkey pretty much, but it tends to stay moist and get nice crisp skin.

    I can't believe it took this long for someone to post the correct answer. The best thing we ever did as a family was switch from ham or turkey to prime rib on Christmas. There's no comparison. I walked by the meat counter at the local grocery store yesterday and there were prime rib roasts...
