    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I drug my 36" TV up the stairs to my apartment by myself. The whole time I was imagining people saying "He should have gotten someone to help him" at my funeral when I was found at the bottom of the stairs under a huge broken TV.

    That's funny. I had lurked here before but I first registered to post because Kreugen was talking shit about how my guild killed Lord Inquisitor Seru the first time.

    I think it's just a roasted chicken. I would be curious whether you can really tell the difference between a rotisserie chicken and a regular roasted one in a blind taste test though.

    I know that's a possibility. I had a similar adventure with a farm implement this spring. A pin that is supposed to move in a sleeve rusted solid and I spent a day and a half heating it, beating on it with various hammers, and pushing on it with a 50 ton press. Finally cut it off and took it...

    People will pay a lot to feel special. That's kind of what "luxury" anything is about. Does it really make any difference in your life whether the interior of the car you drive to work is plastic or hand polished walnut? Does it change anything about your life to smoke a cigar that was...

    To be fair, quite a few of the Indians were psychopaths as well. The only good part was the Jim Bridger character.

    Yeah I don't really mind the $120 an hour, but the parts being so expensive chaps my ass. It doesn't make any sense to me why the shop's income should vary based on what the parts cost. Why not just make the shop rate what you need to run the business and give people the parts at cost? Even...

    Auto mechanics are getting to get the same way. I am trying to keep an old Subaru going (2010 Forester) and it needs struts, brakes, and front wheel bearings. I got quoted $2500 for the struts, $1400 of that was parts and I can buy name brand struts online for under $500. $500 for each side...

    I kinda thought American Primeval sucked, although it was better than Godless. Seems like Netflix is trying to outdo itself by making westerns where everyone is some kind of murdering psychopath philosopher and they're just trying to one-up each other as to who can be the most cruel while...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    My Mom is 74 and she's determined that she's not old but a lot of shit is getting hard to ignore. She still goes horseback riding fairly regularly and wants to be out on the 4 wheelers fixing fence and chasing cattle and whatnot. She can still do it pretty well but it surprises me how weak and...

    You can buy it pretty easily here. I guess I've just cleaned enough carburetors that I just don't want any stored gas around for more than a couple of months or to keep track of how old it is. If I was to get a whole house generator, I would definitely go propane since I have a 500g tank in my...

    Don't leave gasoline in it. So many people have a generator for emergencies and when they need to use it there's bad gas in the carburetor and it won't run. At the very least, shut off the fuel and let the carburetor run dry rather than using the kill switch and if possible don't have gas in...

    Car ?'s

    Yeah if it's just two wires then you just have to figure out what is positive and negative on both the fan and the harness and make sure you connect positive to positive and negative to negative. Even in you don't figure it out you have a 50/50 shot.

    I really liked season 1 and 2. I didn't hate s3 but I'm having a hard time getting through s4. 90% of the show is just people sitting around talking about their feelings in a way that doesn't really happen in real life, at least outside of a therapist office. The under the table scene took...

    I think there's reason to disbelieve that. Getting the rocket into orbit and deploying satellites is one thing, but it's a far cry from hundreds of missions to Mars. SpaceX and Starlink are profitable, but not *that* profitable. I feel like there has to be another step in between unless Elon...

    My girlfriend has a ceiling fan with a frosted globe that puts out a retardedly small amount of light. It also uses odd sized bulbs so you can't just go buy bigger bulbs to put in it. Pretty stupid.

    And they're building a factory to up their production capability to 1 starship per day. That's a stunning number of rockets, especially considering that they are reusable and carry a silly amount of payload. I can't imagine what they would use all those starships for, but I've seen too much...

    My Lenovo Chromebook is a piece of junk. Crashes randomly, can't use it for video conferences because of constant feedback if the mic isn't muted. I hate the trackpad, but I kinda hate all trackpads. It was a cheap ass computer so I shouldn't have expected much but I thought Lenovo had a...

    I went to Chik-Fil-A in Billings a while back. It's the only franchise in Eastern Montana. It kind of blew my mind. I think it's the biggest fast food place I've ever been to and it was absolutely packed at lunch time. Like 15 cars in the drive through and 15 people in line inside. Never...

    They could really use a win. After the last explosion I saw multiple articles speculating that Starship might not actually be doable, at least by Spacex. That's going to get a lot louder if this one fails as well.

    A lot of the older schools here (Montana) don't have air conditioning. Most of the school year it's not necessary but the first couple of weeks of school really sucked some years.

By the time I...

    I tend to put regular red radishes in it, sliced on the julienne grater and carrots as well. I don't think it changes the flavor or texture that much, but the flecks of color in it are nice.

    There are times when it would be nice if it was a little bigger. It's the secret ingredient to my coleslaw that everyone loves. I think having the cabbage sliced super thin gives it a really nice texture. The other secret is using way more sour cream and mayo than the recipes call for. If my...

    Honestly, I can see why they would do it. In a shower like that there's no way to adjust the water temperature unless you are standing under it. Not being able to adjust the temperature during the shower would be a downside though. It would be better if the door was hung the other way so you...
