    Probably not going to find a part for that thing. You can buy pretty nice chairs on amazon for under $200 though, just read the reviews.

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

    I don't see this conformist thing in science at all. Nothing is more prestigious as a scientist than proving that the current thinking is wrong. Even if it were true though, we're not talking about bending with the breeze here. Radiocarbon dating is not a matter of opinion, it's an objective...

    You don't need to use bottled water, just get a bottle of dechlorinator and use tap. The dechlorinator isn't expensive at all. Something like this will last you a long time.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    We've bought a lot of appliances in the last few years and they have been universally junk. I'm actually taking my Mom's 3 year old Whirlpool refrigerator to the shop tomorrow. We bought a GE set with a double oven, microwave, and dishwasher 5 years ago when we remodeled her kitchen and the...

    2019 NFL Offseason: Chargers Started Early

    An oral history of the 49ers-Saints epic January 2012... Some nice nostalgia for 49ers fans. Probably not so much for Saints fans. Check out Joe Staley running like a deer and taking out the safety.

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

    All I'm saying is, every time there's a hot young quarterback, people start talking like it's a foregone conclusion that he's going to play in multiple Superbowls during the course of his career, but they only give out 1 Lombardi trophy a year and 32 teams are spending hundreds of millions of...

    I remember saying that about Kaepernick after the 2013 super bowl. Those SB appearances are hard to come by, unless you're the Pats.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Made a brisket in the Yoder yesterday and while it wasn't a complete failure, it could have been a lot fucking better. The thick part was great, like butter, but there was considerably too much bark on it and the thin parts were practically turned to charcoal. It was in there for 18 hours at...

    If they're good knives you really only need to sharpen them once a year or so unless you're doing something rough with them and in that case it might be worth $5 a knife to have them professionally sharpened. That said, I like this tutorial. I bought a water stone because of it and one of...

    I don't know how it was built. I'm just saying you guys are indulging in the "I don't know how to do it so it must be impossible" fallacy. It's okay to say "I don't know how this was done" without immediately jumping to a bunch of conclusions that you just pulled out of your ass with...

    According to who? You? If you're an emperor and you have a few thousand people who have to do what you say then maybe it is a feasible amount of time. Like I said, no one does manual labor anymore so we forget how much a bunch of guys with hand tools can accomplish. Marching Roman Legions...

    The fact that some youtube guys don't want to spend a week cutting a stone just to prove that they can doesn't mean that if you have a couple hundred or even a couple thousand people working on it all day every day that they wouldn't be making a lot of progress even if it does take two guys a...

    Of course you can. There's been videos posted already here about drilling in hard rock with sand and a bow drill. Once you have a round hole it's just a matter of filing out the corners also with sand. It would take a while, but it's only impossible because you fold your arms and keep saying...

    Whatever you do, don't pay $75 for that stupid 3 pin connector. If you can't find a mating one on amazon, just cut it off and buy something similar. They are plentiful and dirt cheap.

    Aquarists unite: fish are friends, and food

    ^^ This is all good advice. I would just add, don't believe anything that anyone at PetSmart or one of it's clones tells you about fish and until you know the guy at the Local Fish Store, don't believe anything he tells you either. Do your own research online. There is a shitload of good info...

    That is pretty interesting. Does this mean I have to be more respectful to all the hippies trying to sell that shit on Facebook because they're caught up in a MLM scheme?

    How much real money have MMOs made you?

    Don't feel bad about that. I bet some of the people bragging about selling their account for $4-5K put in more than 40 hours a week for multiple years to get it to that point.

    I think that most serial killers abused animals as kids, but a shitload of boys abused animals as kids and don't grow up to be serial killers. I think it probably has more to do with having unsupervised access to random animals when you're a certain age. We are getting pretty fucking far away...

    They are, with some Seahawks, Vikings, and Packers fans mixed in. That said, I don't think you owe any allegiance to a team that's 500 miles away even if they are the closest team. I chose the 49ers when I was a kid mostly because of Joe Montana's name and because my Dad liked them. I...

    I never saw a possum until I moved to California. The first time I saw one of those bastards come out from behind the dumpster at my apartment complex I just about shit myself. I had seen pictures before but you really can't appreciate how horrific they are until you see them in person.

    Not only does Montana not have an NFL team, it's not even bordered by a state that has one. For this reason I think you should get to root for any team you want if you live here.
