    Salt systems have been around for 30+ years. Modern ones are fine and last about 3-5 years if you don't fuck up your chemicals. Warranties run three years on Jandy cells, not sure on the other two big manufacturers but I'm sure it's the same.

    Salt levels in a pool are nowhere near what the ocean is. You also don't have salty ocean spray blowing over everything. The only metallics that come in contact with the water will be your salt cell itself and the copper manifold in your heater, both of which are corrosion resistant as long as...

    The pedal drive is sweet, I have the Mirage 360 on mine. The pedal drive itself is $900 but well worth it. Fighting a paddle while you're trying to fish sucks ass. I do want to get a trolling motor kit at some point though.

    Yes sir, Hobie Outback. I don't keep catfish that big, those are breeders, not eaters. I'm taking it down to Padre for a four day weekend tomorrow. If the winds aren't too bad I want to go offshore a bit to some of the old drilling platforms. I have to be prepared to handle a 6' shark from it if...

    Grapevine Lake, TX. 36" blue cat caught with a big juicy grub on my crappie pole from a kayak. Hell of a battle.

    Rajaah's CRPG Blog

    Ya I had a few days worth of fun with Avernum when I was stuck with nothing but a crappy laptop to play on years ago. Like all other CRPGs for me (except TOEE), I never finished it but enjoyed the game. Just started Pillars I. If I can actually finish this one, which is doubtful since MLB 23 is...

    Yes. Playing stuff on the cloud is surprisingly good. Definitely good enough to try something out first before getting a giant download.

    Quit being so sensitive and taking things personal. Everyone busts everyone else's balls here and that's it, man. You don't seem ok lately, maybe take a break or at least stop engaging with people for a bit?

    Hogwarts Legacy

    Looks like a fun game, I think I will pick it up Friday for my SeriesX. Never read a HP book or watched a movie but I trust the reviews around here. Hopefully by then everyone will have burned themselves out on all the political talk surrounding it.

    If you have a girl then social media is the #1 pitfall to prepare them for. If you have a boy then it's porn. Peer pressure is still the dominant force in most children's lives and as a parent you have to do the balancing act between protecting your child and letting them explore the world and...

    I can't imagine someone selling off their family's oil lease. That's actual generational wealth that ensures yourself, your children after you, and your grandchildren after them have a guaranteed income. If you grow up in western Oklahoma or west Texas you know that pretty much 100% of the...

    You seriously think the West is not engaging in authoritarianism? The West's recent tyranny on it's own citizens in the form of lockdowns, forced vaccination, rampant censorship, and out of control immigration is EXACTLY the reason why so many Westerners are rooting against their own governments...

    I think eels are teleosts (bony fishes) as opposed to elasmobranches (cartilaginous fishes) which are primarily sharks and rays.

    Snakes do have bones, maybe you're thinking of worms or millipedes. The Mississippi Blue Gum is an invasive primate brought over from Africa 400 years ago.

    I'd like to do this with my Sunoco stocks that have been a solid dividend play in my inherited IRA that I've been using to play around with. Problem is I only have about 60 shares and the rest of the funds are tied up in shitty crypto stocks and fucking Lucid. I do have a couple grand worth of...

    Bitcoins/Litecoins/Virtual Currencies

    Refresh my memory, how many times did your average tech consumer get completely scammed out of their money in the early 2000's on the scale of an FTX or Mt Gox? When you look at crypto it's scams all the way down.

    Lol. Just look at people's posts on how to safely "store" their crypto and how insanely complicated and Byzantine the entire process is. 99% of the population will never participate in this shit. This is reason #461 why crypto will NEVER be adopted into the mainstream. It will always be the...

    Your seals are gonna need depredation tags to legally take any doggos.

Word of advice- Montanans are pretty closed...

    Also consider the Yellowstone area has the highest densities of grizzlies and wolves in the lower 48. Running cattle out that way you better be prepared for that. I used to work with a guy that's now Montana's head wolf biologist and he says they have more problems dealing with those...

    My guy is around Flathead Lake. He's the caretaker for most of the big properties out that way. You should see Tom Cruise's castle on the east shoreline near Woods Bay. Tom was filming this summer so my buddy Jake let me stay in Tom's guesthouse while I was there. You should check out the...

    All home slabs in n. TX are post tensioned now. Brick work has expansion joints to allow the home to flex. Those post tension rods are 33,000 psi so don't ever let anyone cut into your foundation. I've heard of contractors hitting and cutting those rods. You can imagine the damage a steel cable...
