    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    It is a pretty well known technique among homebrewers. Any light BMC will do for the experiment, but finding bottles of said brands can actually be kind of tricky. That was literally the only 12 pack of bottles of any BMC in the entire store, everything else was cans. Some people will use...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Under the category of "shit" I just bought- Normally I wouldn't touch Bud Light (unless it was free of course) but I also got this today- That is over 7lbs of hops, so what I have done is dry-hopped the Bud Light with the hops to give me an idea of what flavors I can expect from each...

    Fantasy Football 2013 Advice Thread

    All I can say is that I am glad I don't play in a league where that might even be an issue. All friends/family and nobody thinks that is going on at all. Also, I have prizes set for the top scoring week during the regular season and the top scoring week during the playoffs just to give...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I think you are on the right track. Especially if she was on some sort of BC prior, one year minimum before you start worrying. Even when everything is working perfect and you do the dirty on the exact day(s) you need to and everything you only have about a 20% chance of conceiving in any...

    Wilson agrees with you. When asked about his MVP candidacy his response was that he wasn't even the MVP of his own team, that would be Lynch.

    2013 NFL Season

    I loath to say it but Russell Wilson reminds more of Steve Young than Kaepernick does. I still think Kaep is going to be just fine, especially now that he has his full compliment of WR's back. The starting #2 and #3 WR's at the beginning of the year for the 49ers were so bad that they have...

    Vereen is averaging 19+ points a game (when he plays) in PPR. That would make him the 7th rank RB overall if extrapolated over an entire season.

    So I was basically playing a guy for a playoff spot this week. Winner gets in loser is out. I was trailing by about 15-20 points and looking like I was done heading into the afternoon games. In the afternoon games he had Peyton Manning, but I had Eric Decker. I can only imagine his...

    The Beer Thread

    Yeah, the Mens Room Red is meant to be "accessible" and "drinkable" which generally means it isn't very interesting. It is also important to find it fresh because what little hop-flavor there is will be completely aged out and dissipated if it has been longer than a month since it has been...

    It has been shown time and time again that 'protection theory' is a myth and there is no evidence to support it. There have been numerous studies and there's been no link found between the performance of a batter and quality of the player hitting behind him. And it never made sense to begin...

    Something about Keenum not being able to handle making adjustments/calls at the line of scrimmage. iirc Kubiak said something along the lines of the blitz packages were confusing the fuck out of Keenum. Can't remember if crowd noise and/or being in the hurry-up were also factors.

    I love how Ray Lewis is showing the NFL what is up. "I am SO outraged about Brooks' fine that I'm going to give you $7,500. Now what NFL?!" In all seriousness, I do think officiating has gotten out of hand in the NFL. I always argued that if your team lost a game due to an officiating call...

    What is your opinion on GMO plants and products?

    In my experience, it is the "liberal" people in my area fighting against GMO's. That is what I noticed on my Facebook feed as people went back-and-forth about the labeling issue in WA (same with the voting demographics on the actual measure). Also, environmentalist are also convinced GMO's are...

    Coin flip choice there. Both are similarly ranked, neither has an enticing match-up and both have question marks in their respective passing games. I play Cameron because he is for sure healthy. Davis may not even play and if he does could suffer from limited practice this week.

    Gun control

    I think more of the point of the exercise was that shotguns really don't "spray" that much at close range, the grouping of the projectiles from the shell will be very tight at the distances in most of your typical home invasion type scenarios. So you need to be a somewhat accurate shot to...

    Yup, if you play Kaep this week you are pretty much depending on the read-option and Kaep running one in. Vernon Davis' status plays a role in this decision as well as the Niners 3 losses have all been when he has missed part or all of a game due to injury. Honestly unless you are in some sort...
