Man 10 years ago 3D printers were going to change the world and after all this time no one has really found a use for them except making prototypes and crappy plastic toys for 100x the price of one you could just buy on the internet.

I really think teaching humanities to 18 year olds is a waste of time. 18 year old kids are just not sophisticated enough to really "get" things like philosophy, literature, art, religion, psychology or even history really, and while it's valuable information for life, it doesn't teach you to...

I thought the same thing. They are dirty as hell but they don't look rotten from the pictures at least. Might be able to just clean and reseal it.

Yeah, it's not rocket science. All you need is a tape measure, a saw of some sort and an impact driver or two. If you have the old one to go off of then you don't even have to figure anything out, just copy the old one. YouTube has lots of advice I'm sure.

I'm sure HBO will shed many bitter tears over you.

Especially since one of them had to be Kittle and that was a 5 yard pass with Kittle rumbling for 30 more.

He had a great duel with George Kittle in week 9 last year but Kittle got the best of him eventually.

I almost always skip comedians but Dillon was great.

Sure, out of several thousand elections. It does mean more to vote in local elections than national ones, but it's still extremely rare that it would actually make a difference.

When? Not saying it couldn't happen but it's extremely unlikely even with just a few hundred people voting.

Voting matters. My vote doesn't. I freely admit that if everyone stopped voting, that would be a disaster. But me voting or not voting has zero effect on that. It's an odd thing to wrap your head around, because voting is important, just not a single person voting.

I don't know why exactly. It feels like I'm participating in something even though rationally I know it's not going to affect anything. If nothing else it's an excuse to take a half hour off and shoot the breeze with my neighbors that are working the polls.

Voting is a waste of time. "On a macro level" is nonsense because if thousands of people do the same thing as me, they would have done that anyway. I always vote but it's just because I like to. From the standpoint of an individual, voting is absolutely a waste of time and you should find...

Not watching a show that you would enjoy over politics is dumb. If you're that passionate about it, organize a boycott or something, but just you not watching it only hurts you because the people making the show aren't even going to notice.

I would definitely check it out. You said it just has a shallow well jet pump above the ground right? Those are like $150 and even if all you do with it is water the lawn it would be worth it to save money on municipal water. You should definitely have it tested before you drink much of it...

It's electric wires that are plastered onto the ceiling. I do think the liquid under the floor version is probably more efficient although you have to worry about leaks then. Nobody does the electric radiant heat anymore I think because electricity has gotten more expensive than it was in the...

I think projector's time has passed. Sure a 100" picture is cool but I've never seen one that looked very good and it seems like in a couple of years you will be able to get a 90" flat panel for under $1000.

It actually works really well but it's pretty expensive. There's a thermostat in every room and it stays nice and warm without the noise and dust from the forced air. People think that heat rises but it's actually hot air that rises. Heat radiates from the ceiling to the objects in the room...

Radiant heat in the ceiling and a wood stove.

How do you like the ductless? Do you mean a mini-split? I'm thinking about doing that in my house since there's no ducts. Right now I just have a window unit and you don't need a whole lot of ac in Montana but after it being in the 90s for the last 10 days or so I could wish for more than the...

I don't know what is in that nacho cheese sauce but if it's significantly less expensive than refried beans I find that concerning.

What in the fuck are you even talking about? Justice isn't complicated, implementation is. Is it your opinion that if someone can get away with a crime, then justice has been done? This nonsense about pizza is just words that don't apply to what I'm talking about. Justice means finding the...

Someone being punished for a crime that they committed is justice, regardless of how it came to happen. A guilty person going free for lack of evidence is not justice, it's just what we have to accept in our imperfect system because the alternative is worse. If you disagree with that then I...

i don't understand why you keep arguing with me. I mentioned your objections in both of my posts. I have said repeatedly that we can't accept that behavior even if there's technically a good reason for it. All I'm saying is that things aren't black and white in real life.

Nah, domestic ducks are just like chickens in that they will stay within a couple hundred yards of the house and go inside at night. Unless you have predators coming into your yard in broad daylight or the house won't keep predators out at night they should be fine. Not to say that weird stuff...

Don't be a faggot. I didn't say it was the right thing to do. There's definitely cases though where a cop knows the truth but doesn't have proof of it, so they cheat. The perp is guilty of the crime he was arrested for, he's just too slick for the cops to build a case against. What the cops...

WTF does this have to do with cooking? There's a thread for talking about pretentious restaurant food.

I'm not really a fan of pneumatic tools. I haven't had very many of them but I don't really see the upside. I have both corded and cordless electric impact wrenches and such and they work fine and you don't have a noisy ass air compressor running all the time or deal with hoses being too short...

You can't get sentimental in the NFL, but I think you pay some guys. Kittle besides being amazing on the field is great in the locker room too. He is an inspiration to other guys on the team and makes it fun to be a 49er. In theory yeah, everyone is replaceable with a younger cheaper option...

There's a reason that "bird brained" isn't a compliment.

Yeah, some of that stuff gets dicey. Like you hear about a cop planting evidence drugs on somebody which is wrong but then you find out that the guy is a known drug dealer and even though the cops were legally and morally in the wrong, he was definitely guilty of what he got arrested for.

There's a guy on YouTube called french drain man. I watched a bunch of his videos last fall. Haven't actually put one in but he seems pretty legit. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs09Xm81fnqfuilUKJvKyPw

That's not surprising. I wished Joe would have asked them how often they are lied to and if they've ever been fooled.

I thought it was pretty good. I'm pretty sure things aren't as cut and dried as they make it out to be, but I think for the most part they're doing the lord's work.

That's an interesting idea. How big are the holes? Quarter inch? Eighth? I guess my worry would be water coming in at certain times of the year.

6 months ago I moved my water heater from one end of the basement to the other because I was remodeling down there and wound up re-plumbing the whole house pretty much (supply side only). When I was unhooking the (15 year old) water heater my girlfriend was like "Don't you think you should just...

It's a proud San Francisco tradition to not enforce the law. In totally unrelated news, the city is full of drugs, prostitutes, and homeless people. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vice.com/amp/en_us/article/bny4g5/social-work-in-the-tenderloin-will-kill-something-inside-of-you Quite a...

Because they're ideological radicals. "Innocence" might mean different things to different people. I'm not saying they are, I'm just curious.

I'm sure it's possible but in my 43 years of being around chickens I've never seen a hawk anywhere near a chicken and there are lots of hawks around here.

You can let them roam around the yard. They won't go far and usually predators won't bother them close to the house in daylight. They need to be shut up at night though in a critter proof house or they will be dinner for raccoons or foxes or whatever else might wander through. They even have...
