    I don't get the hate about the Arya thing. What's the point of spending a huge part of the show making her into a super assassin if she's not going to assassinate someone huge? Bran being king makes logical sense. Seems like an omniscient rational entity with no personal ambitions beyond...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    I've been having similar thoughts. I do all my question asking to AI instead of Google these days which seems like a good way to get indoctrinated. On the other hand, I like it much better.

    Mass produced Chinese flashlights are really fucking good now. I don't think there's much point in spending a lot of money on them. I think the lumen ratings are kind of bullshit, but if it says some outrageous number on it, you can probably rest assured that it's going to be almost shockingly...

    That must have been one tiny mouse. Best option if you can do it. When I was a kid all of the barn cats died of some sort of disease and the place was overrun with mice which is what led to me and my brother and our dog getting the mouse eradication job for a while.

    Car ?'s

    As someone who spent part of their boyhood killing mice in not necessarily humane ways, they're pretty easy to kill. CO2 seems overly elaborate and expensive. Probably just giving the bucket a nice violent shake would do it. You can also just put on gloves and give them a smack or a squeeze...

    You can put anything in quiche but mushrooms are the obvious one after cheese and bacon. I like asparagus but that might be too much like broccoli for you.

    Lots of people don't want to cook anything that's not ground beef. We sell halves and quarters of beef and there's often a customer that wants everything ground. Once we had a butcher shop get in an argument with a customer because he didn't want to grind the rib eyes and another time we...

    I used to like the Boboli crusts for a quick, easy pizza but the price on them is just retarded now. They cost as much as a frozen pizza.

    I can't take him very seriously when he starts off with the magic electricity shooting out of the substation and rupturing people's ligaments and tendons. Also, CMC's yards per carry were down because he was the only weapon on the team for half the season and it was just him and Kittle for the...

    I like some of the fancy frozen pizzas but I just can't convince myself to pay $12 for a frozen pizza. Having it cost more than a hot pizza from Little Caesars/Dominos/Pizza Hut just seems wrong to me.

    Y: Marshals

    300 pair would be enough for a single family to make a living on, although they wouldn't be getting rich. 5000 acres isn't enough land to run 300 cows in most places in Montana though. 8-12k would be more typical for a 300 cow place in Eastern MT but there are places that you could do it on...

    I recently bought a battery power station to run my bi-pap machine when the power is out. As a result I've done a lot of research on them and I'm really impressed. The one I bought was $750 and the size of a toaster oven and can run my machine for 5 nights on a single charge, more if I turned...

    It sounds like you're thinking the wall switch connects the two sides of the outlet together? That's not how it works. The wall switch is only in the "hot" side and it connects the outlet to the breaker box. If you connected the two sides of the red switch to your switched outlet the wall...

    Unless I'm still misunderstanding, you can't control it with a switch that's not in the circuit the lamp is being powered by. The normal way to attach backup power to the existing house wiring is with a transfer switch, but I'm still not sure I get what you are talking about.

    Had a "Bigger Mac" aka Big Arch today. It was a nice, beefy burger. Nothing miraculous though. The sauce was pretty similar to a Big Mac but I'm not sure if it was exactly the same. It had little red specks in it like there was some paprika or something in there. It had a little of the Big...

    I didn't hate the ending of the Dark Tower series as much as some people did but it wasn't exactly satisfying. "The Stand" really pissed me off. I wouldn't call King the greatest writer of his time but he was certainly popular and prolific. I've probably read more of his books than any other...

    Is it sharp? If you drop it, don't catch it. I saw a video on YouTube the other day where some chick was showing off a katana she bought on a livestream and it started to slip out of the scabbard and she reflexively caught it by the blade and severed multiple tendons in her hand.

    That's actually the exact video that got me worried about it. With regard to storage, some other videos I saw suggest this... Inert, heavier than air argon gas in a can. You spray some in to displace the air and put the lid back on. Interesting idea. Other people just smash the can...

    A guy who owes his career to Tolkien doesn't need to be giving notes to Tolkien. As a writer, Martin isn't qualified to launder Tolkien's jock, but killing off major characters is definitely one of the most interesting aspects of ASoIaF.
