By far? Explain yourself.

The best place to get information is people who sell mystery tours.

My favorite way to make salmon is to season it with salt and pepper or better yet lemon pepper seasoning and then get a cast-iron pan nice and hot and then throw in a shitload of butter. It will smoke a little, don't let that scare you, but if it's smoking you need to get the salmon in there...

That looks pretty bad. If the board is burned that much there's a good chance there are traces that aren't conducting anymore. A board like that is more likely to be repairable than a modern board, but it's very difficult to diagnose without a schematic to know what you should be testing for...

I bought a used flatbed truck yesterday and it had a 13 speed transmission that I had never driven before. I was taking it to get fuel and then I was supposed to come back into town and meet my family at DQ for dinner but it turned out I couldn't shift the fucking thing to save my life so after...

Country music on the radio has turned into horrible pop songs or even hip hop beats with ridiculously stupid lyrics, but it has given rise to people like Sturgill Simpson, Jason Isbell, and Margo Price who play real country music and you can actually hear the instruments and they manage to sing...

That video was very helpful. I would rather things would just be a little more clear to begin with, but I suppose it's sort of like reading Dostoevsky in a literature class where the teacher can point out the more subtle ideas as you go. Not to say that Westworld is great literature, but...

I will listen to it. My only opinion of him has been what a stupid name he has, but I saw him perfom on the Grammys last year and it was pretty good.

Yeah, get the health shit out of here. There are other threads for that kind of thing.

If you read the story of Sun records, Sam Phillips founded it specifically to bring the blues sound to white people. He started the careers of Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Roy Orbison, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Johnny Cash. It turned out to be a pretty good idea.

She has needs too. Being a celebrity beard is a lonely life.

I miss motown. Too many of the good black musicians are making hip hop these days. This discussion definitely belongs in the "You know you're getting old when" thread.

I think the whole "never frozen" thing was just some marketing horseshit that Wendy's came up with and McDonald's just decided to play along. Freezing ground beef doesn't hurt it at all as far as I can tell.

I don't know why demolition derbies aren't more popular. They are hilarious. I really think it would be fun to drive in one also.

Nobody thinks the pyramids are 10 million years old though. If they were built by a technologically advanced society 5000 years ago there should be some other evidence aside from the pyramids themselves.

Yeah, seems like they missed a big opportunity tonight. Dom and Wendell won't get blindsided again. If one of them wins they should really send Laurel a thank you note because she is gifting them this game. Even if Wendell had played his idol, it would have still been 4-3 in the next tribal...

I think the consensus has been the Pixel 2 for a while. At least I haven't heard that the S9 knocked it off?

I love killing rodents. I actually just bought a bunch of mouse traps today to get revenge on the little bastard that shit in my silverware drawer.

I wonder if you can "hack" it using a can of paint.

We can agree that we don't know exactly how, why, and when they were built. My issue with you is that you are proposing explanations with no evidence while also insisting that the explanations or theories of experts in the field are impossible.

The "why" is a great question for all of these structures and we will almost certainly never know the answer, but that hasn't been the discussion up to this point and Chuk agreeing with you now is just him walking back his posts from earlier in the thread, which were all about technology.

How did they do it? Making and moving monoliths at Göbekli Tepe It's not like this stuff is hard to find.

In a way it's less plausible, because we have access to those sites and should be able to find evidence if they had say, steel, let alone modern technology such as motorized cranes or something. Well, you claim that some technology other than the bronze or stone tools in evidence would be...

You still haven't explained why you think that your theory, for which there is no evidence, is more reasonable than aliens for which there is no evidence.

Dolores makes no sense to me. I don't know if it's accurate to say that she understands the vastness of the outside world either. All she's done is see some city lights out the window and attend one cocktail party. I guess I missed the explanation on how the guns work. Somebody want to fill...

This is the key. As someone who left a cushy government job to take over a family business that I had no idea how to run 9 years ago, I have worked 10 times harder for way less money than I did at my old job but I would never go back. If you are doing something you're passionate about, it's...

I had the opportunity to watch two rocket launches and one of them we basically just stared into the fog for 2 hours, heard a rumbling noise, and went home. The other one was cool though, even though it was raining.

Talk to your local lumberyard (not Home Depot/Lowes). They usually have software to figure that sort of thing out. That said, assuming it's a weight bearing wall, that might be a job that would be worth paying a contractor to do just for the peace of mind that you haven't made your house unsafe.

How a backyard pendulum saw sliced into a Bronze Age mystery

I haven't actually used it so I'm not sure what you mean, but my brother was using 12" x 24" tiles and didn't mention having a problem.

Let us know how it turns out. My brother and his wife just got their hands on a pig and they want to make bacon in my pellet grill. They said a friend of theirs made some and it was amazing.

The first time we did a tile project in my Mom's house we rented a big tile saw for like $50 a day but then later talked to a contractor and he said he just buys cheap ass tile saws at Harbor Freight for $60 and uses them until they die and throws them away. My brother bought one and used it to...

Masonry isn't too tough, definitely something a DIY-er can learn from watching youtube. I haven't done much myself but I know enough people who taught themselves and did a decent job to know that it can be done. Google Image Search is a great way to get ideas for this kind of thing.

I liked Kellyn early on but she definitely seems like she's going to crash and burn, possibly next week. This episode was sort of interesting just because what wound up happening was exactly what you would expect, but it took a pretty circuitous route to get there. The second I saw the team...

Not really related but a couple years ago one of my Mom's friends made some pulled pork for our shipping crew using Dr. Pepper and it was fucking horrible. I am now instantly biased against any recipe that calls for Dr. Pepper because of that. I don't really like baking because you really have...

I think you could call that an understatement. The Cowboys actually forced Dez to hire a "bodyguard" who was actually a babysitter to make sure he got home on time, showed up to meetings, and stayed out of trouble at the price of $17K a month. This was in his contract if he wanted to play on...

I love dried fruit but there is a LOT of fiber in it. I've never noticed the farting, but if you eat a lot of dried apricots you shouldn't go anywhere without quick access to a toilet.

I just heard today that there are people who are attached to their roombas. You are not alone in this feeling. I've also heard that bomb squad guys get bummed out when their robots get blown up even though that is what they're for. Emotional Attachment To Roombas Suggests Humans Can Love Their...

Honestly, I actually question his not getting a job more than Kaepernick's. He was a pretty good safety and I don't know what kind of money he was looking for but it probably wasn't 20M a year. I don't think he has any chance of successfully suing the NFL over it unless they are incredibly...

You can do it. If it was the little beads or something you might think twice, but tiles aren't dangerous at all unless you somehow manage to inhale them. I would wear the respirator out of an abundance of caution but you probably don't even need it.
