    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    Failing with back to back first round quarterbacks would make you a laughing stock for a good long time I would think and I don't know if Murray is a sure thing either. I didn't pay much attention during the season, is Rosen really that bad?

    Seared tuna steaks are pretty great. I love seared salmon as well, with brown butter and capers and maybe some lemon pepper seasoning.

    That's because being a snob is your favorite activity. Sushi snobs pretend it's all about the fish but 95% of the flavor and texture in sushi comes from the rice, the soy sauce, and the wasabi. People that eat sashimi and don't dip it in anything are doing it to show off how sophisticated...

    Chuk believes in some implausible things, but then gets super offended if you think he believes in others. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

    I liked the season. The ending was very unexpected, which I liked. Some big pedo cult with the chicken guy at the head of it would have been the way we all expected it to go so having a more low-key almost happy ending was kind of a nice twist. I'm surprised people liked the biker bar scene...

    A good fence will probably cost more than that saw. It will work though, you will just have to be careful to get it square on cuts where it's important.

    Honestly I'd rank the first 3 pretty equally. The new one isn't bad but they added a bunch of complications that didn't add up to much because the levels are too easy except for the last 3 or so and so far there's no bonus levels. It will probably get better with a few more patches.

    Smartphones

    It seems to be a special talent of mine. I don't know anyone who goes through charging ports as frequently as me but that's why I'm all wireless now. This one was especially amazing because I only used the cord in the car. All the home chargers are wireless. Now the car ones are too.

    Yeah, it's not too bad once you get away from the edge. At least if you have an asphalt shingle roof you have excellent traction. If it's a steel roof not so much.

    My S8 is showing its age. Front and back are cracked and both the charging plug and the headphone jack have gone bad. Won't be getting another Samsung phone. All of their bullshit software is just a huge turnoff for me, particularly the Bixby button and the prices are just out of whack. If...

    A friend of mine used to work for HP and their policy was that as long as your manager would sign off on it you were good. He was in town once and I went out with him and 2 other HP people and we ran up a $300 tab on steaks and booze and they were like "Dave's going to laugh his ass off at this...

    LEDs in a car wouldn't require a ballast/driver. That is to convert 120v AC power to DC and an appropriate voltage for LEDs. In a car the LEDs could run directly off of the 12v DC from the car battery. I've often wondered if all light bulbs eventually become LEDs if houses will start to be...

    Sorry for your loss. My Dad was killed in a similar work related accident in 2008 when he was 55 years old. I think that you are correct that the machinery needs to be sold and the money should go to your Mom. It's a no-brainer really. When the time comes, either consign it to a machinery...

    If there's a truly self-sustaining population somewhere else that would be one thing, but there was mention of just a space station or a handful of people living in a sealed colony on Mars or something. I can see the desire to inhabit a new planet permanently, but that's so far from being...

    Why do we need to? Would you want to be alive on a space station or in a tin can on Mars if Earth was gone? Aside from being the last human to die, I don't see much future in it unless a reachable planet was found that could actually support a real population of humans.

    I think it's a Midwest thing. I've just recently started seeing it in eastern Montana but you could always get it in North Dakota. It's pretty similar to mountain dew. I had a Tab a few years back and found it to be shockingly disgusting.

    I think if we had kept up the space program at the level it was in the apollo years there could have easily been a moon colony by 2000. The problem is that the moon is kind of lame and it's hard to keep people excited about spending billions to colonize a cold, dead rock.

    They say you should pump out your septic tank ever 3-5 years but we have 4 of them on the place and have routinely gone 10+ years and not had any problems. They're really pretty trouble free and yes I think the Rid-X stuff is a waste of time and money.

    See that's what I think a lot of people think of as retirement and then 5 years in they're sitting in front of the TV waiting for death. If you retire at 60 you probably have 25-30 YEARS of time to kill from 8-5 every day. That is a lot of time to sit on your ass and do hobbies that nobody...
