    Pot talk friday discussion - Robots.

    I'm not a stoner, but I couldn't sleep last night so I sat in bed thinking about things. Robots and Artificial Intelligence: Ok, so when robots finally have independent thought, what will the first thing they create be? I assume it'll be a tool. Maybe to expand what a society for...

    Ok, it has a Form a Drain. That's the raised foundation. I don't know how long it's been there, though.

    Actually, that's a fix that's already been done to the house. They lifted the entire foundation of the house and added a drain that dumps into the sump pump. I would assume that this was a complete fix for the problem, and they just assumed the mold smell would go away on its own, or maybe...

    Burnt: Bradley Cooper Foodie/Chef movie

    I saw a British show a few years ago that was the same thing. About a chef in a michilin star'd restaurant. It was a comedy. It looks exactly the same as the show you linked, but I don't remember Bradley Cooper being in it. EDIT: Oh, it was a show called Whites! And it came out after...

    I actually have a mold guy that took care of my attic earlier this year, and he did a great job on both price and quality of work. I gave him a call and asked him to check this place out and give me a realistic quote for how much it would cost us to clear out the mold and remove the stink...

    So we're just checking the normal housing market right now. I went to a place last night that was enormous. 2600 square foot rancher, but in reality it's closer to 5000 square because the basement is the same size as the main floor. The only thing is the basement isn't exactly a basement...

    The Documentary Thread

    There's a documentary coming out in the next month or two about the rise and fall of Tower Records, and how them not wanting to sell singles is ultimately what ruined the business. They were talking about it on the radio a little bit but aren't able to get into much more detail. I'll look...

    Summer 2015 Anime Thread

    Overlord was a cock tease episode. It seems like next week will be good stuff, though. Tier 10 magic is the best, but there's also "super magic" which is given by extremely rare items and can trump it. But there are even better items called "World Items" that can even trump super magic. Oh...

    "I don't like guns." Yeah, you'll like them soon enough, hippy. That said, I'm not a gun person either, but I understand the importance of them. Especially in an apocalyptic world.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    That's why the best advice is to ALWAYS jerk off first. If you're still interested in the hot 26 year old, maybe there's more to it. If you suddenly don't care as much, stop putting so much weight on the opinion of your dick.

    Now to completely change subjects, I feel like rewatching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood again. I bought the Bluray complete collection from Amazon a while back for like $70 total. That series was great.

    Spectre (2015)

    I work in sheet metal and deal with things like this every day. "This first-of-its-kind black anodized steel collectible is laser etched with the iconic Spectre symbol." That's a lie. You can't anodize steel. Or even Stainless. It's a process that only works on Aluminum. However, there...

    I saw 2 things that stuck out in my head. 1.) New Gundam series. I really hope it falls in line with the SEED style series as opposed to that last series they came up with. 2.) Overlord OVA. Granted it's only a single episode, but more Overlord is always better. EDIT: Also...

    It seems that ethanol fuel isn't the best for cold weather. The "American standard" of E-85 means that it's 85% ethanol, 15% gasoline. However, in the winter months when weather drops to below freezing temperatures, they reduce it to E-70. That said, it's still significantly less expensive...

    I saw another Documentary today on my lunch break. 12 O'Clock Boys. It's about these biker gangs in Baltimore, and this young kid that aspires to be a member. It was a decent enough movie, but that main kid had some great lines. Here's a trailer.

    Someone on another forum posted this picture of the new girl on this show. She's playing the alter-ego of Plastique, a new character. God damn is she beautiful. Probably just the red hair though, but still.

    Tell me about it. But I still enjoyed the episode. What I don't like is how it's constant zero scores from the one judge, and people having totals in the 20's, to suddenly EVERYONE is getting 80-90. They should mix it up. Have an awesome dish, then garbage. No reason all the awesome people...

    I read the post. The E-10 one. Here's the gist of what it says regarding corrosion. The fuel itself isn't corrosive. Well, it "was", but only to a certain type of rubber. Automotive manufacturers have since stopped using that type of rubber as a direct result. The corrosion comes as a...

    That's also E-10 and E-15. The Flex-Fuel they're talking about is E-85. That said, I didn't actually read any of those links so I don't know if they speak about E-85. I'll read them shortly.

    Just finished watching the finale. I dug season 2. Yes, some of the CGI was a little off, but the show itself is entertaining. While Jamal did mean well in the strangest way, he was too psychotic. I'm glad that he's no longer an issue going forth. However, I don't know if the brother...

    I wasn't a fan of the latest Overlord. Mainly because that character was really annoying. On the up side, at least SOMEONE was able to beat one of the guardians, even if it was only the 1st floor girl. I can't wait for everyone to get dominated by mr. Overlord himself.
