Wifi calling on TMobile is fantastic. I may finally get rid of my landline, or at least the long distance on it.

Criminy. $90M to play 1 year of football. I can see why some guys lose their edge after they get that big contract. I probably would too.

Zero superbowl winning quarterbacks in that list and only 3 that have even appeared in one.

My policy on window air conditioners is that you always buy the biggest one that will fit in the window.

Glad they got it done before training camp. I hope he makes the guys above him look overpriced.

Domesticated ducks don't leave. They just cruise around the yard and eat bugs. They like to have some water to stomp around in but be advised they will make whatever water you provide for them absolutely filthy so you want it to be something small enough to dump out and refill regularly. I've...

Everyone is an expert on everything they know nothing about. I remember when they were building a new intersection with roundabouts in town there was a dude who was a diesel mechanic who "knew" that the roundabout was going to cause tons of accidents and he was super butt hurt because he went...

My girlfriend used to drive a CR-V. It was an old one (2003 I think) but I'm 6' 2" which isn't inordinately tall in my mind and sitting in that car was absolute torture. I refused to drive it if there was any other option because my head touched the ceiling and it really wasn't easy to work...

My guy is just a 1-man operation but there's a month wait to get a car into him most of the time so he's not hurting for business. It would be more affordable for a bigger shop but it's still crazy to have software subscriptions and special tools for a dozen different car brands.

The special tools are not just for the engine and transmission. My mechanic tried to replace a front axle in my 2013 F-350 and got it all torn apart only to realize that he needed a special Ford tool that he didn't have so he had to put it all back together and I had to take it to the...

It's amazing that there's still any independent mechanics around. Every brand of car has all kinds of proprietary software, special tools, etc that you need to work on them and the software is all expensive subscriptions and you can't afford to subscribe to all of them and the tools are...

Yeah, don't make zero baggage your goal, that person doesn't exist and if they did, they probably wouldn't want to deal with you. You just have to find someone whose bullshit you can put up with and they can put up with yours.

Fix it. Even if you still want to get another car, you can increase the value of it by 4-6k by spending $3k or you can keep driving it knowing it has a brand new transmission and the engine will probably last at least another 100k if not 200k. It's almost never a smart idea to sell a car...

This guy made something sort of useful on his 3d printer.

I don't think anyone really knows why it works. It just does apparently.

As someone who had rotator cuff surgery 2.5 years ago, I can confirm that that's a hard one to come back from. I did PT twice a week for a year and even now I can't throw a ball very well although it continues to improve. I know that he would have better trainers and more time to train back...

When I was a kid, I always imagined that married couples completely understood each other. Like you could finish each other's sentences you knew what they would think about everything. It comes as a bit of a surprise to me that even after being with people day after day for years you can still...

Don't look for rationale. There's just a lot of people here that are so obsessed with their political hobby horses that the several hundred post per day politics thread and several other massive thread dedicated to the topic aren't enough for them so they feel the need to shit up every other...

Good Lord you guys are so fucking boring.

Don't apologize for this. This stuff is the best thing in the board. A welcome respite from the thousands of posts from the many blowhards saying the same thing about politics or video games over and over.

Some food for thought on the goat topic.

I think this stuff is so cool but I just can't find a use for it. When I was an engineer it was awesome for rapid prototypes for fit checks and such, but as a personal device the only use for it I see is people spending $3000 and many hours to make $7 worth of plastic toys.

A couple of them hang out here... https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/on-becoming-an-electrician.12272/

I don't know what the effect would be on your car but I don't think you can build a 200 lb trailer that would be legal. Home Depot usually has a full sized pickup truck that you can rent for like $20 an hour. You can rent something like that a hell of a lot of times for the price of even the...

Don't be ridiculous. Goats have more personality, but sheep are way better at sex.

The tests in the article were done on a grill, but not directly over the heat. I think it would be pretty difficult to roast a chicken evenly over direct heat. In any case, you can certainly get a lot more flavor on your chicken by putting herbs and spices directly on it than subjecting it to an...

You clearly didn't read the article. You're wrong. The beer doesn't get hot enough to actually evaporate, and even if it did, it doesn't go into the chicken. I'm sure your chickens turn out fine, but it's not because of the beer can. He measured everything and spells it out in the article...

Meathead has a whole manifesto on why beer can chicken is a terrible idea. https://amazingribs.com/bbq-techniques-and-science/beer-can-chicken/ Also soaking in the marinade for 24 hours does nothing.

And none of the people crying about the training scene in episode 1 seemed to notice that in episode 2 when she was in a real fight she got her ass kicked by a dude in 3 seconds without landing a single punch or even really resisting despite the fact that she had a gun.

On the contrary, I try to make a point of replying to posts that are actually talking about the show. That's what I come here looking for. There just isn't much of it between the "bad writing" posts and the woke police.

Yeah every TV thread is like this with a couple of exceptions. When it comes down to it I'm no better complaining about the complaining and I should just stop reading these threads since it seems like people are doing what they want to do but I keep thinking it could be different.

For those of you who are mad about the prices at Taco Bell and feeling nostalgic about Taco John's, check out this receipt.

Goats can be quite profitable these days. Especially if you are in an area with a Jewish, Muslim, or Mexican population. The size of goat and time of year depends on which community you're selling to. The Jews and Muslims often want to butcher it themselves so it can be done in a kosher/halal...

This thread isn't for discussing the plot. It's just for talking about how the show sucks even though you don't watch it and how hilarious it is that Ellie isn't very attractive.

God I hate the off season. I don't want to tell Google News not to show me news stories about my team but this time of year it's just non-stop garbage articles with people who know nothing randomly speculating about the draft and free agency and contract negotiations and writing bullshit...

We will. It will be much nicer without you. Not sure why you made this post. It must be fun to work yourself into a rage about a TV show that you don't watch.

I don't really remember but I assume Deion at least waited until he was dominating in the NFL before becoming a media whore? I'm pretty sure the teams didn't like it then either but he was so good they were willing to put up with it. Before your play your first snap in the NFL is a little...
