    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Stihl and Husqvarna are the two big names in chainsaws and you can't go wrong with either of them. I have one of each and they are both great machines although like all gas powered tools they need tuning up from time to time. Just for around the yard I would actually consider and electric...

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    I don't understand how you guys get so bitchy about the announcers. Find something better to get your panties twisted about. That one Carr interception was so bad last night I really wondered if he had money on the Rams.

    Smartphones

    It's about all there is these days. Everyone in my family has a Moto G5 or G6 now and the most anyone paid for their phone is $235. When I compare them to my Note 8 it's very difficult to see what you get for the extra money and they don't have any bullshit Samsung software to deal with.

    That's dumb. They will probably just vote him off immediately like last time he played regular survivor.

    Smartphones

    Nexus 5X is a 3 year old phone. Maybe you hoped for more but that's pretty old for a device and well past the warranty so I think you're getting a little too salty about them not just replacing it for free at this point. If it went bad in 6 months it would be a different story.

    NFL 2018 - 2019 -- Watch America's favorite sport wither away and die

    The Seahawks are really looking like they are set up for a miserable season. Without Wilson, they might be a 1-2 win team. With him, it's hard to see them getting more than 5-6.

    Tapatio and Cholula are both great, but for some reason Cholula costs like 10 times as much as Tapatio. Luckily this stuff is an exact copy of Cholula and sells at Tapatio prices.

    You can also test GFCI's by plugging an extension cord into them and dipping the other end in water, but I imagine some people would think that's a bad idea. It works though, they pop instantly and that's how I check them at my stock water tanks after a heifer got electrocuted by a faulty heater.

    Car ?'s

    The starting fluid trick is scary, but when it works it's fucking awesome, like "I just fixed my car using a bomb!". You want to light it using a propane torch with a nice long wand on it though, or by throwing matches. My uncle tried to do one with a cigarette lighter and burned the shit out...

    Kevin Smith Suffers Massive Heart Attack (Feb '18).

    That's quite a bit but not on Smith's level. Did he say what his max weight was? I'm not sure how tall he is but he looks like he has to be 400+ in some of those pics.

    Kevin Smith Suffers Massive Heart Attack (Feb '18).

    Some guys are just supposed to be fat. Every time a famous fat guy loses a whole bunch of weight, I always think they looked better before. Kevin Smith was definitely too fat when he started, but he should have stopped after the first before/after pic. Going from obese to chunky = good...

    True Detective

    I saw this trailer during the finale of Sharp Objects last night and had cognitive dissonance all night about how or why they would have made Chris Rock look nothing like himself in this show. It wasn't until I woke up the next morning that I remembered that it was Fargo that Chris Rock was...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I don't know if I want to participate in this thread during the last season. I would like to discuss the episodes, but so many people in this thread have already made up their minds about it that I think it's inevitable that all of the angry nerds posting "this shit sucks" every week is going...

    Atomic Blonde (2017)

    "Realistic" is a bit of a stretch, but at least they made a small effort to acknowledge that a 120 lb woman can't just beat the shit out of 3 250 lb guys at once no matter how many karate classes they took. It's still very far from realistic, but it's one step closer than some of these killer...

    No, it was out in the suburbs. Nowhere near any dense asian communities, but it was the Bay Area so there are Asians everywhere.

    Sometimes I think I can tell but last time I took one of those "What kind of Asian is this?" online quizzes I did terribly. When I was in California I once looked at yelp for a ramen/sushi place that I liked and I was surprised to see a bunch of negative reviews (from Japanese people I...

    Better Call Saul

    The writing on this show is really outstanding. Considering there's about 4 concurrent story lines that just barely touch each other and they all have to have compelling characters and fit within what we already know happens in the future in Breaking Bad, it would be really easy to fuck up but...

    I can't believe people actually copied Apple's fucking stupid notch. I blame websites like The Verge for talking way too much about phones and making people give a shit about things that they should not give a shit about. If it wasn't for the tech press talking about things like which phone has...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Yeah, that's what kept me from doing it. I think the benefit is the stronger fan and lack of a heating element. I imagine though, if you did have a conventional dehydrator, you could just take the trays out of that and strap them to a $10 box fan for making jerky and use the dehydrator the...

    Scenes from movies you didn't like that stuck with you

    The edited for TBS version of that movie is full of hilariously bad dubs. My personal favorite was McLane yelling "Oh darn, oh shooooooooot" as he ejected from the fighter plane.

    I want to say that there were $.39 hamburgers and $.49 cheeseburgers when I was a starving college student in the '90s. It was a banner day when I could go to McD's with $5 and binge my way through 10 cheeseburgers. I think pizza was actually more expensive back then. I definitely could have...

    So I bought a Syma X5 because it was cheap and I just wanted to play around with it a bit and I saw it recommended a couple places as a good starter. I'm still quite poor at flying it but I can keep it from crashing for several minutes in my living room now so that's progress. The only one I...

    After the S8 I won't be going Samsung again for the foreseeable future. It's a perfectly fine phone, but all of Samsung's crapware annoys me to an irrational level and I can't believe the Note 9 still has the Bixby button. Even though the button is disabled on my phone it still pops up from...

    That is awesome man, thanks for taking the time to do that. I do think you would have to drop down over the tanks. You can see them just fine from that altitude but I think you would need to be quite a bit closer to tell how much water was in them. I thought the second flight would probably...

    2018 NFL Offseason Thread -- Philadelphia Burning Edition

    I don't think Hyde was traded because he's bad. He's a big bruising back that can run for tough yards up the middle. He just wasn't well suited to Shanahan's offense where he wants his backs smaller and faster and better at catching the ball. In a lot of offenses Hyde could be very successful...
