The one I remember was when McDonald's cheeseburgers would go on sale for 49 cents. Nothing better as a college student than going to McD's with a 5 dollar bill and leaving with 10 cheeseburgers and a dime.

I like how Lanx is offended on behalf of the Toyota Camry that someone died in it.

I'm relatively happy with my brick hearth. Here's the bricks glued to the floor... I failed miserably at grouting them without getting mortar all over the bricks. I actually think they look kind of cool like this, but it's not the look I was going for. So I spent 3 hours grinding the...

On the podcasts everybody says they just sit around and talk about food all the time. Maybe I'm biased because after S1 I didn't really watch again until S15 (China) but I think the survival stuff wears thin pretty quickly. If you want to watch people eating rats check out "Naked and Afraid"...

Russell was a terrible player who only stayed to the end because he found idol after idol. He was entertaining, but he could never win.

I think some of them did get lucky, but the way I look at it, the other person lost by pissing off too many people and/or not making enough relationships. If you played hard the whole game and the jury decided someone who did nothing should get the money instead, then you fucked up.

I don't buy the "bitter jury, didn't deserve to win" thing. The objective of survivor has never been to call the shots or make big moves. It's to stay in the game and get the specific people who are on your jury to vote for you. Whoever won played the best game for that season by definition...

The correct response to that is "mi dispiace non parlo italiano". Blow their minds.

When I got my first job out of college, the company paid for a full service move. Guys came to my apartment, put everything in boxes, even built a crate for my aquarium. I was a typical college student, had one room in a 2 bedroom apartment and everything I owned was hand me downs or thrift...

pretty big fuckup there

Weird. Also editing seems like it would be very conducive to "social distancing".

Yes, which means if Denise votes Sandra out she gets to keep her second token.

Late to the party but I didn't watch until last night. Sandra didn't even have to flip anyone. If she knew Denise was playing the idol and it was just going to be 1 vote then she could have voted for Jeremy and at least forced a tie in case Denise decided to screw her, which she had given her...

If you should have paid him $10k already then it's hard to object to him asking for more if you've only paid him $2500. Maybe I misunderstood the situation though.

You won't regret it. I have a YS640 and the thing is a tank. I'm really happy with it. I don't think there's any way to update firmware in the older models, but I've never had any trouble with mine. You do need to unplug it between cooks though. I've been told it sort of loses its mind if...

I heard a funny interview on a podcast with 2 girls that restock the vending machines on an aircraft carrier and they were like "people talk about us like we're heros but all we do is put out candy bars".

Anybody have any tips on a brick hearth to go under my wood stove? I know the normal way to do it is to put down hardie board and then mortar the bricks to the floor, but it looks like the previous hearth they just used construction adhesive and put them right on the subfloor which seems to me...

I usually figure a long cook is going to take a full 15 lb bag of pellets. My pellet grill is pretty large though. I've never actually measured but it's in that ball park.

That's a decent theory. For the sake of the show I hope you're right.

It was pretty normal. No toilet paper, no beans, no hand sanitizer but they had most other things. Several things were restricted to one per customer. The biggest difference was there were like 10 people walking around with spray bottles just continuously disinfecting everything that people...

I'm with you. I refuse to use italian words to order coffee, even though they correct me every time.

It's something you have to do from time to time when you live in the sticks. We're going to Lumber Liquidators, Home Depot, General Shale for bricks, and then going to see if there's anything left at Costco.

I hate it when restaurants give menu items cutsey names. I don't want to have to order a rompin stompin broncin burger or some stupid shit like that.

I never thought about it before but drone trucks being driven by a remote human would actually be a big improvement over having drivers in the trucks. Instead of being an over the road trucker, you could go to an office and sit at a desk for 8 hours a day. The truck could run 24/7 with drivers...

It's the closest one. 200 miles exactly. The next two are 217 miles and 231 miles respectively, but they both involve a lot more 2-lane highway so they take quite a bit longer.

I'm driving 200 miles tomorrow to go to Home Depot. I just called them though and they assured me that they would be open. I actually called all the places I am going because who the hell knows what's going to be open right now.

So much for everyone in the Rams organization who have been saying "Oh he's fine, it's just a superbowl hangover, everything is fine." for the last year.

Everybody on TV is always the "best in the business". Maybe she is some amazing superlawyer, but if I had a lawyer who had tried to get me to change my plan and I said no and then her boyfriend was suddenly representing the other side and costing me thousands of dollars fucking with me, I'd be...

This whole thing is going too far. Who's paying Jimmy while he fucks around with this old man for weeks on end? What about his 45 other clients? Did he just drop all of them to work for this guy pro bono for a month? Why is the Mesa Verde guy not taking Kim off of the job with an obvious...

This is the problem with the whole victim narrative. When you define someone as a victim you make them powerless. Just like other ghettos, Indian reservations are being held back by substance abuse, bad parenting, and political corruption, all of which are terrible problems that are difficult...

A few years back there was an expose about laminate flooring from China having excessive amounts of formaldehyde. This was a real issue but it has since been corrected. Also the early LVP flooring had phthalates in them which are endocrine disruptors linked to various health effects (although...

Looking back this was pretty predictable. The Rams went all in mortgaging the future to get a shot at the Superbowl. They got it and now they're paying the price. Maybe it's a bit worse than expected because Goff and Gurley haven't become what they hoped they would, but they had to know when...

Hmm, I can't speak for the whole chain but I have bought a lot of stuff from them at this point. I never even interacted with the sales people though. Just ordered from their website and picked it up at the store.

Just the fact that it's waterproof put LVP over the top for me. Seen too many places where there was a leak with wood laminate and it all swells up and you throw it away. Even real hardwood is more vulnerable to water. Check with Lumber Liquidators as well as Home Depot and Lowes. They have...
