I hope he really likes that chick because she has cost him millions.

I used to watch Jon Stewart almost every day and I thought he was funny as hell but he pioneered the whole condescending comedy news show genre. None of his copycats are worthy of holding his jock strap IMO. They all got the condescending part but missed the funny and the authenticity that...

Nong Shim black isn't spicy as I recall.

I agree 100%. I've eaten a fair amount of the black when the store was out of spicy and it's a poor substitute. But now you lost me. Are you leaving the water in the samyang? Because I think the regular samyang hot chicken is hotter than the shin spicy, let alone the 2x.

Dave Rubin, but he's not that famous I suppose.

My sister's boyfriend is a plumber and he installed my Mom's water heater with one of those pro press things. It's really cool but insane how much the tool costs.

If anything PVC is more toxic than Pex, not that either of them are especially toxic. Pex will release some VOCs when it's new, but after that it's one of the better types of plastic. If you're paranoid you can go copper, but some people are actually sensitive to copper. Also, you have to hope...

That's funny just a week or so ago I said in this thread that he should have Alan Savory on to talk about regenerative agriculture. He still should but Salatin is probably the second best guy he can talk to about it. Savory is more of a scientist where Salatin is a farmer/entrepreneur. My...

https://fox6now.com/2020/05/05/nearly-400-workers-at-missouri-pork-plant-all-asymptomatic-test-positive-for-coronavirus/ 2300 workers tested at a meat processing plant. 373 test positive, zero have symptoms. ZERO. Either this is a very unusual virus or the tests don't work or something...

It's easier to get unemployment after being fired for cause than it is if you quit? I thought you were pretty much out of luck with unemployment either way?

I'm speculating here, but of the 4250 cases in SD, 3195 of them were from the county with the Smithfield pork slaughtering plant. I think there's 2 contributing factors there. 1) there's no 80 year olds at the packing plant. It's a hard physical job and the people doing it tend to be in...

$100 million would probably convince me to put some commercials in my podcast. That's financial security for life for everyone in your family kind of money. I wonder if he will keep doing standup as much. As much as I like Joe as an interviewer and I think he would be fun to just hang out...

It's probably smart to turn down the flashy offer for a lower number with more guaranteed money. They say you should bet on yourself and for Richard Sherman with the 49ers I think it's worked out, but I don't know that it's a good plan for Dak.

This is the way I feel about motorcycle riders who never stop lecturing people who drive cars about how they need to be more considerate of motorcycles. Motherfucker, you're the one who chose to drive a vehicle that you're 30 times more likely to die driving than a car. If you can't be...

I'm no laundry expert but I don't know why everybody went from loving front loaders to hating them lately. I just have a basic Samsung set that are 6 or 7 years old and I've never had a problem with them. With steam mode they can actually get super dirty jeans cleaner than my old top loader...

I don't mind him getting paid and I definitely don't mind YouTube losing money but I hate to see podcasts getting bought up and conglomerated so you can only listen to them in this or that app or if you subscribe to this service. Podcasts have always been independent and available everywhere...

That's pretty cool. I guarantee no GE oven that's made in the last 10 years will still work 50 years from now. I personally think the fake stuff looks weird, but real wood is a lot of maintenance. My brother did a concrete deck with metal railings which is pretty much zero maintenance but...

I bet he won't put ad breaks in the show but I bet Spotify will put them in for non-premium users. I hope you're right though.

This is going to make me stop listening. Fuck Spotify for their exclusives and I am just not going to switch apps to listen to one podcast. Also what happened to Joe not wanting to have ads in his show? I guess it's not that important if the money's right.

No reason for lower flow if you just use a bigger line for higher demand fixtures. Also, the fact that you don't need as many elbows somewhat cancels out the restrictions at the fittings.

PVC doesn't cost more than pex really. It takes longer to install though, and is easier to fuck up. You can make it look nicer because it goes in straight lines, but in some ways that's bad for the customer (more elbows, longer runs because you can't go places diagonally, so you have to run...

Plumbers don't like pex because it's so easy to use that people do it themselves instead of paying plumbers. The real old school plumbers swear that only copper is acceptable because they can really charge for that shit. If water restriction is an issue, just use a 3/4" line. The numbers in...

I love pex, and I would never pay a plumber to install it because it's so easy to use. I re-plumbed my whole house with it in a day and a half for about $500. Why do you need to re-pipe the cabin? Pex has an added benefit for a cabin because if a heater fails while you're gone and things...

Yeah, my Mom has the misfortune of being an extrovert in a family of introverts and she is losing her mind right now and doing a real shitty job of social distancing.

I don't want to say it's all about money, but a lot of churches, especially smaller ones are barely getting by financially and people don't put money in the offering when they're not going to church even if they're watching the service on Facebook. Also, for a lot of people church is a primary...

It's Montana to Montana and there are very few cases here but my sister works in an emergency room (as a social worker, not a healthcare provider). I think the chances any of the people being positive are pretty remote but I thought it would be worth a couple hundred bucks to put people's minds...

What is the situation with testing right now? I was under the impression that tests were pretty plentiful and I've heard in cities people can just make an appointment at a lab and get a test on demand if they're willing to pay for it but we have some relatives coming to visit and wanted them to...

I ordered a kreg jig from Amazon (via a 3rd party) a while back and this is what FedEx brought me. The case was completely crushed but the tool was intact and I probably would have just kept it but one of the drill bits was missing so I sent it back with a UPS label provided by Amazon. A...

Maybe just get him 2 bottles of Gentleman Jack. If you buy him a $100 bottle of single malt scotch he probably won't even like it.

That sounds reasonable, but I'm going to need a simple minded answer so I can declare that I know what's right and fight the bad stupid people who chose the opposite side! Acknowledging that issues are complex and that you don't don't have all the answers will get you nowhere on the internet.

Unless somebody takes you out on the way to or from work.

I like the stainless ones personally. They are a bit more expensive than the copper rings but the tool is cheaper. I've read that the stainless clamps are stronger in the event of freezing. They are also easier to put on in tight quarters and easier to remove. Get a crimp tool that can also...

Maybe check on the roof and see if a bird made a nest on one of your vents or something. If it's really the water then the water heater sounds like the most likely culprit but I've never had anything like that happen.

It's not even like they just rolled up to the party wearing masks and robbed the place, it was a party where they were there and people knew them. They found out that they weren't smart enough to be in a poker game with people who actually know how to play and then proved that they were not...

I built a swingset for my nephew out of oilfield pipe. It was sitting on a hillside so I made the downhill legs longer to level it up. Doesn't sound that hard but between the triangles and the different lengths I fucking broke my brain trying to figure it out. Geometry class was a long time...

That's sort of a cool idea but they would have to make the episodes all 2 hours long I think. I wondered what Sarah's husband thought of Tony trying to kiss her on the mouth multiple times after the fire challenge. She was dodging them but the whole thing was a little weird. I don't think...

I was pretty surprised how different it was watching John Oliver with no crowd. The jokes seem a lot less funny without the audience laughing at the right time. I actually don't think it's worth watching without the crowd which is a weird thing to say.

Jeff said something about how he only calls men by their last names (Cochrane, Penner, etc.) so Sarah wanted to join the club.

Also, how in the hell does anyone go on survivor without mastering those magnesium fire starters? If I found out I was going on the show I would be lighting 10 fires a day with it until I left and obviously there's time to practice on the island as well. This season it wasn't too bad but...

Nobody dragged Michelle to the end with the possible exception of Natalie in the fire making challenge. She obviously didn't deserve to win but the dominant alliance tried very hard to get her out and failed and she deserves credit for that. I was pretty sure that the fire competition was for...
