    The Americans

    Action has never been what made this show good. It's a character study about a family in a particular situation where there are a ton of unique moral conundrums and how that affects their mental health and relationships. That is what the show is and always has been about with the cold war as a...

    Credit Score Question

    I don't know anything about credit score massaging and I don't borrow money so I don't give a shit about my credit score but credit card companies make money on every purchase you make with the card. If you never pay a cent of interest they still make money on you and I would bet they would...

    Fargo

    I really liked this week's episode and I can't wait for the finale. Nikki Swango is the best character of this season and Varga is the second best so it is fun that they're facing off for the finale. This has been the weirdest season of a very weird show and it's not as good as Season 2 but I'm...

    Chicken with Pesto, Alfredo, and especially fucking barbecue sauce is not fucking pizza. It tastes fine but if you tell me we're having pizza and serve that shit, I'm not going to be happy. Think of a new name for it.

    One time at In-N-Out I was waiting in the drive through for a long time and watching this very pregnant girl making like 8 hamburgers at a time and her belly was just resting on the edge of the counter, dragging back and forth while she worked and her shirt had mustard and ketchup and mayo all...

    Nothing makes a thread unreadable faster than a couple people deciding they don't like the show anymore and moaning about it week after week. If you don't like the show, stop watching it. There's plenty of other TV to watch.

    Auto repair and gremlins

    I had a similar problem with my old Oldsmobile and it turned out to be an intermittent problem with the ignition switch. Took the mechanics months to figure it out with multiple wrong fixes along the way. Bad ground is also a good thing to look at with any weird electrical issue.

    That reminds me of a ramen/sushi joint I used to go to in the bay area. They had these little individually wrapped cheesecakes that were amazing. They tasted like cheesecake but they were sort of light and fluffy. Never seen anything like it anywhere else.

    Yeah, a lot of the things that happen in this show are extremely improbable but if you're concerned about that you're totally missing the point of the show and should probably watch some Law and Order instead.

    I know math is hard, but the cheapest sodastream is $60 plus $50 for the adapter and $30 for the bottle is $140 vs. $130 on the DIY version. I suppose the sodastream looks more kitcheny if are a woman and you want it out on the counter when you're not using it but the DIY version lets you...

    Ricotta is a lousy pizza topping. It's the answer to the question, "What can I put on my pizza that has no flavor or texture?"

    BTW, I got some sodium citrate and made the modernist Mac and cheese and it was excellent. Perfect cheese sauce that is super easy and you can use any cheese you want. I used extra sharp crumbly white cheddar that naturally melts horribly and the sauce came out great.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I have often wondered about Russell Wilson and how legit he would be right now if his defense had disintegrated in the same way that Kaepernick's did after they went to the superbowl. I think Wilson is better than Kaep but I wonder how things would have been if the roles were reversed. Wilson...

    I watched this a day late but I found it very satisfactory. I found it to be an above average season and the right person won. I was rooting for Aubry but I can't even begin to make a case that she played better than Sarah. I thought maybe Sarah burned too many bridges but I guess you can get...

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    Donald Trump has been terrible for comedy because the jokes are so easy that they're not even bothering to be funny anymore because they can just say "Trump! Am I right?" and get a laugh. Even @midnight hasn't been funny because of all the easy Trump jokes.

    You guys are right, it wasn't too much beef so much as not enough bun and a poor job of stacking it. They used to call the big sandwich the "Big Montana" and it was quite a bit better than what I had yesterday.

    I tried the half pound roast beef sandwich at Arby's today. I'm sorry to report that half a pound is too much. Bun was soggy and I couldn't keep the beef in the sandwich. It tasted good but it just had too much beef in it.

    RIP Chris Cornell

    I have to reiterate that I know jack shit about this topic except what I have heard from Dr. Drew, but his belief is that no one should ever be on opiates long term at all. He claims that they actually make chronic pain worse because your body wants the opiates and will actually manifest the...

    I recorded it off of DirecTV so I think it was uncensored on regular TV. They have been saying"shit" on basic cable for a while but this is the first "fuck" I remember.

    RIP Chris Cornell

    I'm not an expert at all, I just listen to Dr Drew's podcast and he blames the opiates+benzos combo whether it's suicide or an overdose. Very possible that it's just the adivan this time. I'm sure he will talk about it on his next podcast.

    RIP Chris Cornell

    Benzos + Opiates = death. Chances are he was back on the Oxy and then mixed in the Ativan and there you go. Happens all the fucking time. Doctors are starting to figure out that you can't just hand out pills to addicts but celebrities can get doctors that will give them whatever they want.

    I tried to watch Pearl Jam get inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this spring and had to turn it off as soon as Eddie got the mic and immediately started preaching about how America needs to get our shit together. They made some great music but fuck that self-righteous douche bag.

    I am totally on board for either pizza or hamburger salad. A hamburger salad is kind of just a taco salad without the chips. Pizza salad would of course be a pasta salad but it would be great. Google yields many recipes for both.

    I think Sarah must have told him he was safe and not to play it. I think I would have still played it, but Tai is pretty gullible and this time it worked out for him. The next question is if he will play them both on himself in the next two tribals which must have been his plan after sitting...
