    I just did this with my house and I'll say that the online stuff will only get you so far. Lighting makes a big difference to how colors look and also it will vary a lot depending on the settings and quality of the screen you're looking at it on. I tried looking at the same webpage on my phone...

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I was expecting the opposite. I thought they would let Armstead walk. We'll have to see how it goes for them. Buckner is a stud even if Armstead did get more big plays this year. I think a lot of guys would look pretty good playing between Buckner and Bosa. Seems like a Belichick type move...

    Yeah, it's pretty miraculous he lasted as long as he did. I'm rooting for Parv but I don't think she's got much of a chance either.

    I kind of want to give this a chance, but I think I've completely blocked out Season 2. Going to have to watch a recap video or something to even remember WTF happened.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Yeah I listen to Radiolab too. I put them right below Freakonomics and This American Life. Radiolab is sort of an overproduced imitation of This American Life IMO, but it's very good.

    I really want Adam to fail bigly this season. I heard an interview with him after his win and he had retconned the whole season to make it sound like he had personally orchestrated everything that happened in the entire season which was just so much bullshit. I was never a big fan but that...

    The only way I make short ribs is to braise them in red wine and beef stock for like 4 hours and then reduce the liquid for a sauce. It's about the best thing I know how to make.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    Freakonomics has overtaken This American Life as my favorite NPR podcast. I just love the rational way economists look at things. They're probably terrible to be married to, but fun to listen to. Planet Money is very good as well, kind of a shorter version of Freakonomics.

    I wonder how many podcasters could get away with only doing the ads at the beginning like Rogan does. I mean is there anyone that doesn't skip the first 6 minutes of every Rogan podcast? He can do it because he's the king, but I bet most people would have to put their ads in the show to get...

    Based on this thread I bought a 6 pack of those "2X Spicy" hot chicken ramen. The first one I didn't think was really much different than the regular, but I had one yesterday that wasn't fucking around. Nose was running, tears were flowing, and I was resisting the urge to touch my eyes at all...

    Has Sam Harris stuck to his plan of only providing the first 30 minutes of his shows for free? Has he said if it was working? I only listened to it when he had a guest I really liked and would never pay for it but when I heard about that scheme it sounded kind of nuts to me.

    The Joe Rogan Experience (JRE)

    I listened to No Agenda for a couple years. I think Curry is off his rocker half the time but he's very entertaining. I liked Dvorak even more but I eventually fell off for the same reasons as LiquidDeath. They're a little too far out for me or at least Adam was and the talk about money all...

    Andre Agassi was on crystal meth during part of his career. I heard an interview with him once and the interviewer asked if it was a performance enhancer. He said no, it was a huge performance reducer.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    The only thing that's worse than mock drafts is after the draft when all the same people who were doing the mock drafts give the teams "grades" based on whether they followed their mock drafts or not.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    It makes sense for Brady. He grew up in the Bay Area and was a 49er fan as a kid, and it would give him a shot at another ring. It doesn't make sense for the 49ers at all.

    Yeah, it hardly seems like an upgrade. Garoppolo is no Tom Brady in his prime, but neither is Tom Brady.

    Just finished priming my whole upstairs with one of these. My renters left it in the garage when they moved out for some reason. I don't think I would have ever thought to buy one (they're around $200) but since it was here I decided to give it a shot. Had some trouble getting it going and...

    Yeah, my mom and step dad have Dish and they couldn't watch half of the playoffs or the superbowl. It was a bonus for me since my step dad is a Packer's fan and I'm a 49ers fan so I got to text him updates throughout the 9ers destroying the Packers in the NFC championship game. Of course he got...

    I have episodes 2-4 on my DVR now but fucking HBO won't reair the first episode. I know I'm just supposed to stream it but I live in the internet desert and every other show they replay a hundred times every week.

    That is an outrageous price for a 200 watt solar panel. Check Ebay. I think you should be able to get that for under $200. Maybe under $100.

    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    Sounds interesting but I wonder how much difference it will make. The 6 seed very rarely goes anywhere in the playoffs and presumably the 7 seed will do even worse but I guess it will give good teams that are in a tough division a better chance to get in.

    Depending on what screen door you have they're usually just a couple hundred bucks and you can easily replace it yourself if you're not totally hopeless working with your hands. I don't think I'd get insurance involved.

    I am being given a business

    That is one downside of small business. You don't *have* to work all the time, but when you don't know what the next month is going to bring it's hard to say no to anything.
