    Living in Eastern Europe on a Budget

    Meme's aren't piracy, they're fair use. I pirated music when I was in my early 20s. I eventually decided that I'm not the sort of penniless loser that has to steal inexpensive items, nor am I able to delude myself into believing that it's a victimless crime which is obviously not true. Best...

    For those of you thinking of retirement, and especially early retirement, what do you imagine doing afterward?

    The Paranormal, UFO's, and Mysteries of the Unknown

    It sounds like your friends are thinking that magnetism is what holds earth in orbit around the sun, which isn't true at all, it's gravity. Also, the earth's magnetic field reversing would not be a worldwide EMP at all. It's the same weak force that it always was, just in a reverse direction...

    2019 NFL Post Season Thread - Rams vs. Patriots for SuperBowl

    Boring game. Read this thread afterward for the salty @Daezuel posts. Was not disappointed. Congrats to the Pats. I hope Brady fucking retires soon but you can't help but be impressed with this run.

    I would be concerned about it if it has changed suddenly. If there's a loose/fried connection that's increasing the resistance through the coil then there could be something heating up that's not supposed to be hot.

    The NFC Playoffs couldn't have been more terrible this year for a 9ers fan. I wanted both teams to lose in every single game and that continues to the Superbowl.

    My brother wears a Minnesota Twins cap all the time just because he likes how it looks and it fits right. People are always talking to him about the Twins even though he couldn't name one player on the team and he just nods at them and goes on his way.

    I'm not saying they're responsible to do anything, but you expect an engine to last more than 125K these days in any car, let alone a Honda.

    going to the store in pajama pants vs. going to the store in sweatpants -- is there a difference?

    It's funny, when I lived in the city, I didn't think twice about going to the Albertson's next to my apartment in shorts, sweats, dripping sweat from a workout, whatever. Now that I live in the country I always feel like I should be dressed nice to "go to town". I sort of feel underdressed...

    My buddy just had the engine seize up in his accord at 125K miles. He had records of all the oil changes and called up Honda and they said "sorry, 100k warranty, go fuck yourself". They wanted $8k to put in a new engine at the dealership. He took it to another shop and got an engine with ~80k...

    Yeah, I think supply and demand has more to do with it than crime. If people in the hood were crying out for vegetables, somebody would be selling them there. There's no shortage of people selling cigarettes and cheap wine.

    Organic is an idiot tax. I don't know what the problem is where khane lives but nobody grows vegetables within 500 miles of me but I can usually get decent produce pretty cheap. Not on par with California but not like what's being discussed here.

    I'm agreeing with Khane way too much today, but yeah I don't know why you would need a set of knives. If you have a chef's knife and a paring knife, that's pretty much all you need. I'm partial to Hebrew National myself.

    Superbowl food anyone? I'm making wings for sure. I think I'm going to take a shot at falafel as well. Maybe homemade corn dogs too. If you've never breaded and fried your own corn dogs you don't know what a corn dog is.

    Just tried it on the Home Hub and it was pretty damn sweet. Got 6 timers going at once, with names for each one, and you could see them all counting down, without having any idea how to do it beforehand. Two thumbs up.

    I have a google home hub and I find that the times I want to talk to it are pretty much non-existent. I do like having it in the kitchen to watch YouTube videos while I cook or wash dishes, but even for that I don't use the voice interface. I just queue up a few videos on my phone and cast them.

    Man, between Lev Bell and this, something is really fucked up in Pittsburg. I would love to see a receiver like AB in San Francisco, but he's really making himself look like a cancer right now. I guess he figures that's his only way out of the Steelers, but it makes me very afraid to have him...

    This matches my experience.

My Mom has a better gas range and it has more powerful burners than...

    The Rachael Ray one was pretty good. She's always nice but you get the impression that if she had to fight naked like Viggo Mortensen in Eastern Promises she would have killed those two Russians with the linoleum knives and been ready for her closeup 20 minutes later.

    I did the cabbage soup diet years ago and even though I thought it tasted great on day 1 by the end of a week of eating multiple times a day I would have rather put a bullet through my head than lived on that shit for another week. If you kept it up for 4 months you're a better man than me.
