I guess I was wrong to assume that Hollywood people look down on the Midwest. Obviously they think we're just like them.

Maybe they're complete assholes, but you're only covering your own ass by telling them your plans. On the other hand,

I've posted this several times already, but the narrative that Kaep played well his last season in SF comes from people who didn't watch the games, which is most people because the team stunk. Kaep was not good that year. Chip Kelly should be commended for working to his strengths enough that...

My DirecTV DVR has gone full retard on this show for some reason. Every week I try to set up a season recording based on the 7PM Sunday night showing but then the following week I find it scheduled to record on Friday night, which is like the 35th showing of the episode on the various showtime...

This was a good movie, but it had multiple problems I felt. The Frances McDormand character is just an irredeemably bad person which makes it hard to root for her. The idea that these billboards are enough to turn the community upside down yet someone assaulting a dentist with their own...

I think by building a fence without even talking to your neighbor you are virtually guaranteeing that they are going to be pissed off. I know I would be.

I can't even understand how people can watch it on TV. I'm interested in the results but fuck watching it live for 3 days. The only thing more boring is the combine.

Daezuel is just jerking off all over this thread.

Yeah, this is the first episode that made it look like it may not be a complete failure, but it's hard to imagine them doing much better than breaking even. That rock grabber gizmo is pretty cool though.

Yeah, I really thought the Seahawks would do whatever it took to keep him from going to SF or St. Louis. I hate Richard Sherman like any good 49er fan, but from the 49ers standpoint it makes a ton of sense. They need a corner, and they are building a Seattle style defense so bringing in a vet...

Yeah, it looked like just an adventure/information gathering trip, but it would be pretty funny if he went down there and made a ton of cash.

That had to be uncomfortable for Parker to show up and basically take all of their profit for the year but Todd made the bet so fuck him. He's actually the one that proposed it so he has no one to blame but himself. Parker and Rick going to the jungle looking for gold in the off season might...

You assume correctly. Tri-tip is a totally different cut than rump roast. Tri-tip is basically a big steak, so cooking it to 131 is fine. Rump roast at 131 is going to be tough as shit. If you want that to be tender you need to cook it to close to 200 and the sous vide is a waste of time...

The Rams are certainly going for it. Is Sherman going to get released? I figured they would want to trade him to someone that's not in the NFC West.

On the upside, most people who will hit you with no insurance also have no money so don't bother suing them. I think the only way you can keep real committed alcoholics from drinking and driving is to put them in jail. You hear about people getting their 9th or 10th DUI all the time. They...

It's been said, but knife sets are for suckers. All you really need is a chef's knife and a paring knife. I have Shuns (more of them than I need) that I have had for like 12 years and they're not quite as pretty as they used to be but there's isn't a damn thing wrong with them. My brother has...

He might be thinking he's only got a year or two left and he wants another ring and figures the 49ers aren't there yet. Even though all signs point to him being kind of a shithead prima donna, I would still rather have him than Richard Sherman.

That was way too complicated for week 2 when I haven't learned everyone's name yet. I'm not exactly sure who Morgan is or why she got voted off but goodbye I guess. I'm glad it wasn't Libby because although I was also unaware of her until tribal tonight, they weren't lying when they said she...

I lived in Phoenix from 96-99 and by far the best thing about that city is Filiberto's. I still don't understand how they could make a burrito that size that's got nothing but meat and cheese in it for like $4. Probably don't want to know either but I still miss that place.

I was underwhelmed by Get Out but maybe I heard too many NPR hosts gushing about it when it came out. It wasn't a bad movie but even nominating it for best picture was nuts. It was a funny, enjoyable horror movie, but best picture? No fucking way. The only other best picture nominee I have...

Computerized dryer is cheaper.

When I was in college the 39 cent cheeseburger days at McDonald's was like my Thanksgiving. Go down there with a $5 bill and eat 12 burgers.

The oscars are never a good TV show unless you just love seeing celebrities. The only awards show that's worth watching IMO is the grammys and in that case I DVR it and watch the performances and fast forward through the awards.

I have a zircon stud finder that I've had good luck with.

I think plenty of his books have good endings. The Stand and the Dark Tower series did not. DT's ending didn't offend me nearly as much as The Stand though.

If you say so. Psychological studies suggest otherwise, but it's your life.

Nothing wrong with taking a year or even two off and then starting a new career. That's not retirement though. If you want your life to have meaning, you have to be employed at something you care about, and just doing it when you feel like it is not the same thing. Responsibility is what...

I listened to exit interviews with Gonzalez and Jacob and Gonzalez came across as very smart and personable. It's really a shame we lost her so early. She said she knew going to tribal that she was getting voted out and that the whispering was basically a desperation move because she was...

I think your vinyl 2x4 idea is good. If your floor is flat and you bolt it down tight you might not even need to caulk it. I'm thinking this doesn't have to be 100% waterproof or hold standing water, just keep spills from getting away until you can mop them up? If you are in the Makita...

I don't know if tapcons would stand up to too many whacks from a pallet jack. I'd get a hammer drill and put some real anchors in there. When you say vinyl planks, do you mean like some kind of a vinyl 2x4? When I hear vinyl plank I think of something like this.

I tried the Nashville Hot Fish sandwich at Arby's last night. It was good, and surprisingly spicy, but it had a strange effect where it burned like behind my nose, way back in the sinuses. Not sure what caused that but it was unpleasant.

I think dick sucking should be a feature. After all, men are doing laundry more these days, and women have been able to get off by sitting on the washing machine for decades. We demand equality now!

I used to hit the Round Table lunch buffet at least once a month when I lived in Cali. Fuck paying $30 for one of their pizzas though, good as it is. The pizza hut here has a buffet but they are slow as fuck putting food on it so there will be nothing there for 10 minutes and then they bring...

My Mom has a Kenmore dryer that I would bet is at least 30 years old. I doubt that the ones you can buy now will last that long.

New cast seems good so far. The Mexican chick was very pretty but she made the classic mistake of playing too hard too early, especially as a woman. Jew Fro guy sort of did the same as well as lying poorly with that weak ass fake idol. If life was fair, that Korean dude would have gone home...

Yeah, the first couple seasons are great. The problem is that the characters are all extremely shallow so it's hard to keep writing stories that don't just get to be the same thing over and over. I'm not saying it would make the show better if they were all complex characters with emotions and...

The last few seasons have been pretty lame. None of the characters have really progressed in any way so they just keep doing the same jokes in different situations and it's pretty boring.

When my Mom's rental house flooded the insurance was actually pretty good. Unfortunately once the carpenters got in there they found that the house was basically a piece of shit, which she kind of knew and it wound up just being a tear-down, but the insurance would have covered things pretty...
