    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I haven't listened yet but I wondered the same thing. Are they as committed to keeping guilty people in jail as getting innocent ones out? Or are they just trying to get anyone they can out of prison?

    I think the narrative about how rental cars are "abused" is overblown. I used to rent cars all the time and while there's a chance someone went joyriding in it, 99% of rental cars are being driven by business travelers who drive it from the airport, to a hotel, to a job, and back to the...

    Don't do the ice through the door with the freezer on the bottom. My mom has that and since she is always opening the door the ice gets all hairy and turns into one big block. I have the ice maker in the freezer drawer and it's always perfect. Not like it's that hard to open the freezer when...

    I had a similar situation in my basement. I just framed a wall across one end of it about 9 feet out. Hung the tv on the new wall and put an electronics cabinet on the other side. My water system is on one end and the rest of it is storage shelves and a pantry with a spare fridge and freezer...

    That's part of it but he's also lazy as fuck and has no resilience once he hits an obstacle. He just quits. A few years ago another neighbor cut hay on the part of his place that we don't lease. They split the bales with him 50/50 and took their half and left his sitting in the field. 30ish...

    Dr. Debra Soh is a former sex researcher, neuroscientist, columnist, and podcast host. Her new book The End of Gender: Debunking the Myths about Sex and Identity in Our Society is now available. Anyone who gives Joe shit over this is a radical. Yes some people are trans but you probably...

    Mike Baker is a former CIA covert operations officer. Currently he is the president of Diligence LLC, a global intelligence and security firm. His new show “Black Files Declassified” is now available on the Science Channel. I was a little bored with this one.

    David Choe is an American painter, muralist, explorer, adventurer, podcaster, graffiti artist and graphic novelist from Los Angeles, CA. This is a crazy one. I'm not sorry I listened but I'm not sure if I recommend it. Lots of wild stories, a fair amount of crying, basically a 4-hour therapy...

    The black package is 1x spicy. The 2x package is red. I wouldn't say it's actually twice as hot but it's very spicy. Enough to get the snot running anyway.

    Yeah but maybe if I got a new contract this year I might be motivated to play instead of sitting out. I wonder if they opt out of they can change their mind later in the year.

    The epoxy crack injection is for basement walls where water might come through the cracks. Probably overkill for just a cosmetic crack. Just get some caulk in there to fill the gap and paint it. No need to overthink it. That quikrete stuff from the video looks good.

    Funeral Advice

    Talk to your family about the service. Funerals aren't for the person who died, they're for the family. It's good of you to give them permission to not have a service and that you're not expecting anything, but at that point it's their money and they can do what they want with it. For some...

    Or to have the ability to watch a character driven show. It's been demonstrated in many threads that a good percentage of this board doesn't have the attention span to watch a show that has character development and there's not a simple conflict and resolution or at least a cliffhanger in every...

    I wonder if any of them are using it as leverage for contract negotiations or thinking it will be a chance to get off of a bad team or actually let a nagging injury heal all the way.

    Maybe someone will have a cool trick for you but sometimes it's just about staying focused and doing the shitty job until it's done. I have a friend whose favorite saying is "work smarter, not harder" and the result is he never gets anything done. Sometimes it's just about shutting off your...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I am in love with my Cuisinart toaster oven. Haven't hardly turned on my big oven since I got it. In addition to about 100 other things, it makes perfect toast, up to 6 slices at a time, and the whole floor of it slides out so you can clean it in 10 seconds. For some reason the price has...

    I don't see why the NFL would freak out about 40 players across 32 teams when every one of those teams has to cut 27 players between now and the start of the season anyway.

    ^^ Good advice. Nothing you're going to do is going to make this into a good deal, just pay it off as fast as you can to at least cut down on the interest you're going to pay. I'm all about saving up and buying used cars from craigslist for cash. If I never set foot in a dealership or sign on...

    Briggs and Stratton make a real reliable small engine too. We have a lot of stuff with small engines and I used to try hard to get Honda but we have 3 or 4 Briggs and Stratton tools and if anything they are better than the Honda's for pulling the generator or the transfer pump or whatever out...

    I think that's very pessimistic. The decks on my house were replaced like 6 years ago and they need resealing but nothing is rotting. The wood decks they replaced were 35 years old. I'm sure some people would have replaced them sooner but 3-4 years is ridiculous.

    I think that stuff is more for basement cracks where water is going to be coming in through them. On an exterior wall I think you could just shove some spackle in the cracks and paint it.

    That's impressive but here's Molly Schuyler casually eating one that's 50% larger in the same amount of time. I swear she is not human. I find this post to be judgemental and very much against the spirit of the fast food thread. The only one who should feel shame is you.

    You can't help these people. They don't want help, and they won't take it. There are exceptions of course, but my sister is a social worker and there are just a lot of people who you either just leave on the street or do what they did in the old days and put them in a straight jacket in a...

    My policy with non-stick pans was always to just get a $15 T-fal at Walmart and when it stopped being non-stick use it for target practice (they have a bullseye and everything) and buy a new one. Haven't seen much evidence that more expensive ones are actually better or last longer but I...

    I always wash my pans while they're still a little bit hot from the stove. If they get cool I heat them back up. When the pan is warm usually just running water over it will get most of the stuff off. If something is stuck on I use a little chainmail scourer to get it off. It's true that a...

    The best part was Joe asking him if he would ever do a film on the Epstein stuff. Dude couldn't change the subject fast enough. This guy is always looking for conspiracies but with Epstein it's "It's not interesting to me. It doesn't make sense. There's nothing there."

    This isn't news. Revisionist history. Big picture Smith was the better quarterback but Kaepernick tore up the playoffs that year. Alex Smith never tore anything up except his own knee that one time. He is smart to look for a trade if he's hoping to cash in on his great season last...
