    The Fishing Thread

    You could certainly put some powerbait on there and try for the double whammy, but they will catch fish without bait as well. If you want to catch and release you're better off to not use bait because with a lure they will realize that the lure isn't food and not swallow it so you just hook...

    The Fishing Thread

    What you're doing could definitely work. If you're not having luck with the bait, maybe try a Mepps spinner or a very small spoon. Are there other people fishing where you are? If not it might just not be a good area. If there are, just ask them how the fishing is and if they seem...

    Smartphones

    I live in the sticks so it's pretty hard to get it to a repair shop. It seems that cleaning the headphone jack with a q-tip has solved the problems with it so I will most likely just get used to the cracks in the screen for now, but it sounds like a fun thing to try. I would not be happy with...

    Smokers / Grills

    The igniter can be a little fussy if it gets too many pellets in it before it gets them lit. I have had it fail a couple times in my Yoder. You either have to dig all the pellets out and try again, or just skip the igniter and light the pellets yourself with a propane torch. I think if my...

    Anyone ever tried to replace a screen on a phone before? I cracked the screen on my S8 the other day and also the headphone jack is failing and I'm tempted to try replacing them both myself. I replaced the back glass on my Nexus 6P a year or so ago and it was a piece of cake, but this is a...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    You can't even get an F-350 with a manual transmission anymore. There's really no reason for them anymore aside from nostalgia for old farts.

    First trip out of the country, help me choose

    I've never understood spending thousands of dollars and traveling thousands of miles to sit in the sun and drink margaritas. Just buy a beach umbrella and do it in your back yard. If I'm going on vacation I want to see, do, and eat things I can't get at home.

    RIP Anthony Bourdain

    It could still be drugs as well. People who abuse benzos, especially in combination with opiates, kill themselves all the time. Chris Cornell is a notable example, and somebody like Bourdain could get a doctor to prescribe anything he wanted.

    The Americans

    Even with a 90 minute finale there were a lot of questions left unanswered. I wanted to know what happened to the kids, what happened to Oleg, what happened to Stan and his maybe spy wife, how things went in Russia for Philip and Elizabeth, etc. Not that they could have shown all that, but...

    Yeah, don't make your breaker bigger than you need now. That just means more current to set shit on fire if it malfunctions. Get bigger breakers when you actually have a bigger current draw.

    Pretty decent ending to a pretty boring season. Laurel, Angela, and Sebastian proved that they richly deserved to lose, and they did so that was good. Dom and Wendell were very equal and both good players so there was no chance of a bullshit winner and I think finally getting a tie was never...

    If you put the breakers side by side you will have one from each leg. That's what the black and blue signifies in your diagram and as you can see they alternate as you go down the line. Yeah, you would have to turn the power off outside if you want to mess with those main lugs, but there...

    Yes, that's right. It should be no problem at all. Put a 60 amp in your current box, and a 35 and a 20 in the new box.

    I doubt that there will be any that go nowhere. You can combine a couple circuits and the worst that would happen is you would blow the breaker sometimes if you choose poorly. It's a cheesy thing to do though. Probably the easiest thing to do would be to replace the existing double breaker...

    This was my thought exactly. I think we were supposed to be sad when Dolores turned on Teddy but I a couldn't have cared less. That whole story line continues to feel completely pointless. There also seems to be a "girl power" theme to the show, but I just keep thinking that they're not...

    Ayn Rand

    I do think that a lot of liberals have a knee-jerk reaction to Rand even though they have never read or heard anything she had to say but some English professor told them she was basically a nazi and also couldn't write and they never looked any further than that.

    I haven't read the book, but I thought the movie was so-so. Good acting by Jordan and of course Michael Shannon, and the girl was actually pretty good too. The technology was pretty corny and seemed like it was designed to remind us of Facebook and Amazon Echo. The main character's conversion...

    I own both a paper and an electronic copy of Atlas Shrugged but have not read either of them. I mean to one day along with a lot of other books, but I have heard Atlas Shrugged criticized by people I respect as 1000 pages of ideological propaganda and not actual art, albeit very well written...

    I'm mostly blaming it on Lauren. Every time there has been a chance to go after the big guys, she either bitched out or just went right to them and told them everything. Nobody else has really made a move, but it could well be because they couldn't do anything without Lauren and she refused to...

    Yeah, Donathan is clearly a moron. I can't fucking believe that nobody made any attempt to go after Wendell or Dom this week.

    Makita and Metabo are the main brands for angle grinders, although I think Dewalt has some good ones as well. If you're not likely to use it regularly though, the Harbor Freight special will probably do the job. You will go through a shitload of wheels cutting tile so if you get a 5" or 6" one...

    As a beef producer, I feel like a traitor for saying this, but I think some of the best bang for your buck at the meat counter is pork shoulder blade steaks.

    This is why all families should go to church, even if you're not religious. It's a great place to meet families with young kids who wouldn't mind an extra now and then or families with teenage daughters where you know their parents and thus can predict how responsible they will be.
