    Man, Cerie fucked up with that advantage play. Even before we knew it couldn't be transferred, it was an overly aggressive play which isn't very Cerie-like. Just like with Debbie vs. Sierra though, I don't get why Sarah took out Cerie's lieutenant instead of just going for Cerie herself...

    Breaking the Spirit of a Willful Child...

    That's the point though. He's not your daughter and just because something worked with her doesn't mean it's going to work with him. Kids are people, not modeling clay. You can direct them, but you can't make them into something that they're not.

    Breaking the Spirit of a Willful Child...

    Living in a farming/ranching community, basically everyone I know is a small business owner who wants their kids to take over the business but it's amazing how many ways that can get fucked up. There are people whose kids are 60 years old and not authorized to sign a check for the ranch because...

    Breaking the Spirit of a Willful Child...

    It would be nice if you could force your kids to turn out the way you want them to, but you really can't. Parenting is important, but I've known too many people who are drastically different than their siblings despite getting the same raising to think that it's the answer to everything. You...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I used to go to Kansas City for work pretty often and the last time I went there, I pulled into a LaMar's doughnut shop grabbed a couple doughnuts because I had missed breakfast and after the girl running the cash register finished her phone call she got me some holy shit good doughnuts. It was...

    Gardening

    I think you're worrying too much about what your neighbors think of you. Nobody's going to judge you for having a vegetable garden in your backyard. One of the doctors in my town decided that he didn't like lawn at all so he turned 100% of his yard into a garden, front and back. It looked...

    The Fast Food Thread

    This is the only regional fast food we have here that is better than any other part of the country. Taco John's is basically an inferior version of Taco Bell in every way except one. They have mastered the art of tater tots or potato ole's as they call them.

    That will be the job that all of the out of work taxi and truck drivers get. When I was 21 I went into one of those peep shows where you go into a booth and put in quarters and the window opens. I didn't realize that the quarters just get the window open and you still have to tip the...

    This seems like an extremely complicated solution in search of a problem. I can imagine situations where you would want a robot to follow you but no one is saying "I wouldn't mind traveling at all if only I didn't have to hold onto the handle of my rolling suitcase while I walk through the...

    Stir fry. Cut up your meat and vegetables, heat up the wok, fry it up, add some sauce from the supermarket, dump it on some rice from the rice cooker.... delicious meal in under 30 minutes.

    Obviously this is 100% sci-fi but I love how everyone commenting on it seems to think that a hole in the ground is the most dangerous thing ever. I don't know if you've noticed but there are already a lot of things that you can fall off of in the average city and a simple railing is usually...

    Are you saying that is happening in this season? Cause in my opinion the best players (Andrea and Cerie) are both still here although Andrea's days are numbered unless she goes on an immunity run. I don't really like that there are so many idols/advantages this season because it's going to...

    That's how autonomous tractors and such work. You drive it once around the outside of the field and around any obstacles within the field and then it just cuts/plants/cultivates/etc the area that you specified so John Deere does know how to do that. It would require a very accurate GPS to do...

    Pretty baller move by Sarah, and the way she sold it to Micheala without letting her know that it might come to her was smart as well. I don't really see it as such a bad move by Sierra to go to Sarah, she has been a swing vote the last couple tribals, but she probably didn't think about the...

    There's nothing wrong with hugging your dog or anything like that. I know guys that won't let anyone pet their cow dogs, let alone play with them because they think it will ruin them but that is bullshit. I cuddle my dog, have thrown him a billion sticks, and even wrestle with him when he's...

    The terrible ping times are for geosynchronous satellites and I am already enjoying them. Allegedly it will be similar to terrestrial broadband using satellites in low earth orbit which is what SpaceX is proposing.

    Losing your Job

    I think that's the case with most blue collar jobs, maybe to a lesser extent than fishing boats. In this country we tell people that if they're not a fuck up then they should go to college and get a white collar job and most of them do so blue collar is left with a lot of fuck ups. If you're...

    Corgis are working dogs so they are pretty high energy/not great if you're going to leave them alone at the house all day. Also, they can kind of be assholes. I do know people who have them and like them though. Honestly, for a low maintenance dog, it's hard to go wrong with a lab or golden...

    Hmm, Hannah came on RHaP to talk about Zeke after the whole "outing" and referred to Zeke as her best friend, but not as a romantic thing. Also, isn't Zeke supposed to be a "gay man"? I have a feeling they are just screwing with people.

    No I think that there are definitely certifications you would have to have. You have to be damn good to work on pipelines. A lot if not all of your welds are going to be x-rayed for imperfections and if they have to be redone very often you're not going to be working there. It's entirely...

    If this is a sequel that gives a real end to the story then I might be down for that. That would certainly be easier to pull off than actually doing a movie of the story from the books.
