    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    My only beef with the episode was that Euron somehow built 1000 ships on an island with no trees and still sailed to King's landing before Theon and Yara could go pick up Dany and sail to Dragonstone. I think everybody saw that coming but it's still a bit of a WTF moment. I am glad that Bran...

    2017 Emmy Nominations and Awards

    Don't really understand breaking out "limited" series. If you're just comparing it to a single season of a regular series I don't really get giving it its own category. Also, shows like Fargo and True Detective are sort of in between. I was not a fan of "The Night Of" but I would like to see...

    You're probably better off with the Italian sausage. Chorizo is just spicy sausage with too much paprika in it to make it red.

    The only good thing about stainless pans is that they look nice hanging on the wall. All you need for cooking is cast iron and one cheap non-stick one for eggs.

    California problems. Here you get 7 basil leaves in a plastic clamshell for $6 and you're lucky if they're not dried out or moldy. I never appreciated the ability to buy a bundle of fresh basil the size of my head for $3 when I lived down there.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    This is a nice reminder that the TV show is doing a nice job of streamlining the story vs. the mess in the books. If you hadn't read the books you would never believe that the story has could have been more complicated but it was in the books, and the TV changes are an improvement in my opinion.

    Whiskey

    Had some deer hunters from Kentucky last fall and they talked about when they used to buy Pappy Van Winkle for $40 a bottle before the hipsters went crazy for it. They gave me a bottle of 1792 and said it's almost as good.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Any time we work cattle, there is usually a break halfway through the morning where we all literally wipe shit and blood from our hands on our pants and then eat cookies and nothing bad happens. I have never, ever heard of anyone working with cattle on a daily basis getting E. coli. Touching a...

    At least they figured out that they need to be a little specific. No one calls from "the US government" which is what my guy told me.

    I got a hilarious one last spring. It came up on my caller ID in red with a message saying that Google thought it was a scam call. I answered it anyway and it was a dude with an almost incomprehensible Indian accent telling me that I had been "selected by the US government to receive $750 from...

    Killing Mice

    Yeah, peanut butter is better than cheese because the mice like it more and they have to lick it off. The other thing I would say is to put the trap exactly where you saw the mouse because the make little trails and run in the same place next time. The poison traps have never worked for me but...

    If you chop it off every day it will die, especially if you get it when it's very small. I think the theory is sound, but I am skeptical that it works that well in practice.

    Turns out my phone was not dead after all, just frozen up hard or something. Plugged it in to the charger and held the power button down for 30 seconds and the thing booted up. I don't know if that's something that's going to keep happening but I once again have hope that I can keep this phone...

    Yeah, the people who keep citing his stats from last year as proof that this is about the protest obviously didn't watch the games last year. He looked decent in the first half, then fell apart in the second, missing easy throws by a mile. He can perform pretty well as long as he just has to...

    I think my 6P died yesterday. Worked fine all day, battery died at about 8PM which is not unusual, but I've had it on 4 different chargers now and it just won't charge. Tried cleaning out the plug but it still won't charge.

    Better Call Saul

    He had not only shut off all the breakers but actually pulled them all out of the panel. That would shut off the water heater, furnace, and everything else that is properly wired. His neighbors probably tapped off of his service to power their marijuana grow lights or something.

    Listened to the first two episodes based on your recommendation and so far so good. A person might even call it a Hardcore History rip-off but since HH comes out so rarely there's plenty of room for both. Do you know where the name "MartyrMade" comes from? From what I've heard so far it's...

    My dentist in California was this way. He was a pudgy middle aged guy with a moustache but the other 6 people in the office (receptionist, secretary, and all of the hygienists) were all hot blondes. I don't know how you do that.

    FWIW, I tried the sodium citrate mac and cheese in the crockpot thing and it turned out well. It was only in the crockpot on warm for about 2 hours but it wasn't discernibly mushier than when I finished cooking it. I had intended to undercook the pasta and then didn't take it out quick enough...
