    Post Your Pet

    I think you're right. That was what I found googling, but I thought it was wrong because generally the males are blue and the females are orange and with mine both were orange but I have recently read that in a small percentage of the population the males can be orange so maybe I had the rarer...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    I actually thought both Hoyer and Beathard looked decent in the second preseason game. I was more concerned about the lack of a running game than anything else. At least 3 of those turnovers were kind of weird, flukey things that aren't going to happen all in one game very often. The ball coming...

    Yeah, that's correct. I guess that makes sense, each bolt only has to hold up a little strip of the deck where the supports in front are 12 feet apart.

    I know this is from 6 months ago, but what is that orange fish? I used to have some and was thinking about getting them again but I can't remember the name.

    Whiskey

    I think that's probably the way to go. Find some yuppie bartender and just tell them that you want to try some whiskey. They might judge you if your favorite winds up being crown royal or something, but I would bet that the more you drink, the more you will start to like some of the stronger...

    So I have a dumb question for you guys. We are building a deck on my brother's house that is going to be steel structure and a concrete pan deck. It's 10 feet wide and runs the full length of the house and it's about 9 feet off the ground (house has a walk-out basement). The front of the deck...

    I think they just dropped the price on the Pixel 1 by $200 in anticipation of the Pixel 2 coming out.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Hey guys, I haven't been keeping up with the thread. Does anyone else think that they don't show enough how travel time effects things in this show? As an expert in medieval logistics, I find the timelines somewhat dubious! I bet this idea will lead to weeks of super interesting discussion...

    Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy CTE

    My cousin was a star soccer player and got a scholarship to play in college but had to quit after her sophomore year due to repeated concussions and she is still having issues because of it a couple years later.

    @Tuco you are wise not to read this mess of bleeding vagina power posters. I don't know why I keep coming back even after announcing that I am not going to.

    How much latency does wireless add? Obviously it's terrible on satellite, but I understood that that was the fact that the signal has to go 20000 miles into space. That wouldn't be an issue with terrestrial wireless.

    I just heard this weekend that T-Mobile is making a major expansion in eastern Montana and one of their new towers is going to be on a ridge 4 miles from my house. I don't know if it will get over the large hill just north of my house but if it does and I can get an unlimited plan with...

    Hiking Shoes

    I used to just hike and even backpack in regular tennis shoes and it's fine unless you're walking on rocks all the time. I hiked 16 miles on rock in tennis shoes once and I could barely walk by the end because my feet hurt so bad. Now I just wear the basic red wing work boots I wear every...

    Real Estate Agents - Anyone have this career?

    Most real estate licences are held by desperate housewives who need to get out of the house to keep from drinking themselves to death on white wine or driving their husbands away. All of my real estate knowledge came from the movie "American Beauty". This is great news for Xarpolis.

    Yeah, and also this year, but Olebass likes to post the same shit over and over. I have heard people speculating that Euron has some sort of sea devil magic powers and that's why he's able to just show up out of nowhere but they haven't really shown us anything to support that.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Why is the "beef" cutlet white on the inside? FWIW, hollow cheese sticks happen when the breading loses structural integrity. If you fry them and there is a hole in the breading, the cheese just runs out. Dairy Queen here has cheese curds. I don't think I ever saw them when I was in...

    I hate to admit it but I usually get barbecue sauce with my nuggets. Not because it tastes that great, but I think it's just a reminder of my childhood which is the entire purpose of eating McNuggets in the first place. I usually get some sweet and sour or buffalo too, but I wind up mostly...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, all you need to explain Jon knowing things is to say Sam read it in the Castle Black library and told him about it. Not worth wasting time on really. Plot armor is a tired complaint too. You don't tell a story about somebody that got hit with a stray arrow and died in a battle. I think...

    Soy has a lot of estrogen in it. I see this all the time because dumb people think that giving hormones to beef cows is going to make them grow tits or something. I don't know if the amount in soy can actually affect you though. I don't think eating food with hormones in it is the same as...

    Totally. I have some friends with 5 kids and 2 of them have brown hair and brown eyes, 2 are blonde with blue eyes, and the one in the middle is a full-on ginger just like Sansa.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Sure, but in real life soldiers don't make those kinds of calculations. Most medieval battles only lasted a few minutes before one side or the other panicked and ran and then the other side murdered them as they retreated. It's not rational but it's a normal human reaction and those dudes...

    I had to turn on captions to get "chaos is a ladder". I thought he was saying "chaos is a letter" which makes no sense. I didn't remember him saying that to Varys but it's Littlefinger's life philosophy so it made perfect sense. I definitely enjoy Sansa's reactions to Bran and Arya being...

    I was thinking the same thing, no way any Lannister troops hang in and fight after the first guys got barbequed. Those fuckers would have been running. I also think tackling Jamie off of a galloping horse is pretty much impossible but what are you gonna do? Those are just nitpicks though, the...

    Midsized Trucks: Tacoma, Colorado, or Frontier?

    My 2011 F-150 and 2013 F-350 have a split bench seat with the fold-down center console, and they are a crew cab and extended cab, respectively. I guess I don't know about newer ones than that but I assume that they are available.

    Midsized Trucks: Tacoma, Colorado, or Frontier?

    I pretty much won't drive a car with a full center console because of my knee hitting it and I'm only 6' 2". Pickup truck with a bench seat is the ideal setup for my right knee and if I get in a car and my knee hits the dash I know immediately that I'm in the wrong car.
