Be careful what you wish for. I remember people saying that Al Davis had to die for the Raiders to be good again for YEARS and now they are 98–143 in the 15 years since he died and have been to exactly two playoff games, both of which they lost.

You can actually light charcoal with a heat gun. High powered hair dryer like this... Just hold it next to the charcoal for a bit and it will light it. Not something I would buy for that purpose or even use if I had a chimney, but I've done it a few times and it does work.

Hopefully he left behind a storage unit full of gold bars and renaissance paintings that no one knows about.

I know nothing about this guy, but if I was in the conspiracy theory community and decided to kill myself I would definitely do what I could to make it look like the CIA took me out just for the sake of my legacy in the community.

"Better" is subjective. Grilled steak tastes great and so does reverse seared.

Of course you can get a good seat on a cast iron pan. That doesn't mean it doesn't have a different flavor from being grilled.

Unfortunately I live in the sticks and there's only one taco truck in a 100 mile radius and they charge $3 for a taco the size of a hockey puck.

I hit taco Tuesday at Taco John's yesterday and got 5 crispy tacos and a large drink for ~$10. It sort of felt like the old days actually getting a bunch of crappy food for a reasonably low price. The idea that that would be something like $18 if it wasn't Tuesday is just wild to me. The only...

I totally disagree with that. A steak cooked on a gas grill definitely tastes different than one cooked in a cast iron pan. It's not the same as charcoal or smoking, but it definitely adds flavor because of the juices dripping on the hot metal plates over the burners and getting vaporized. If...

I was a charcoal purist for like 20 years and then I got lazy and got a gas grill. Still get the urge for a charcoal burger or steak once in a while. I have a Big Green Egg but it's not set up currently because my back deck is too crowded with the gas grill and the pellet grill.

Same here. The smokey joe is great. You don't have to spray petroleum on your food and it will get all the charcoal burning hot and even in a short period of time. A newspaper or a paper towel with a little bit of oil on it works just fine. If you want to be a little faster you could just...

All that stuff is going to just fall apart. If you want a basic charcoal grill, you can't beat a Weber Kettle. They've been making it since the 50's and there's really no reason to buy anything else unless you're looking at stuff that's much more expensive...

Career "doesn't need to be able to act, just be good looking" actor.

It's kind of a problem with the format where the whole season is just one shift. You can't really have characters developing a lot over the course of a season. She was "angry tired bitch the entire season" but it really just represents one bad day.

I drove through DQ once and got a mushroom and swiss burger and they left off the hamburger patty. I've never been more angry about a fast food order because I was already 10 miles out of town when I realized it. Wasn't quite angry enough to go all the way back though so I just ate my soggy...

It goes both ways with every language. Your example of"futon" is literally a Japanese word that has been adopted by English. Gemini also lists "tycoon", "honcho", "tsunami", "karaoke", and "skosh" as Japanese words that were adopted by English and of course all the food words and things like...

Langdon was a bit of a dick in Season 1. He's definitely been humbled this season though. Hopefully we will see some character development with Santos as well.

It doesn't sound contradictory to me. She says yes, Santos is a bit of an asshole, but people would be more tolerant if it was a man. May or may not be true, but I don't see it as contradictory.

My mom read these books to me as a small child and I vaguely remember the TV show existing but I don't really remember anything about either. Mom loved it though.

Is it a plastic dash? This stuff is good for taking glue off of stuff but you don't want to use it on leather or rubber. If you have a can of WD-40 laying around you might try that first.

Top Gun 4 will be 80 year old Tom Cruise sitting in a basement in Langley, VA flying a drone with an x-box controller shooting missiles at people in Turkey.

I don't think it's really about the team, it's more about journalistic integrity. She's not credible as a journalist when she has a relationship with a coach.

Yeah we pretty much just have burger and pizza places, steak houses, and diners. We do have one pretty decent Mexican place and a super basic Americanized Chinese buffet but one of the biggest things I miss from my time living in the city is the restaurants.

Story time. I was actually excited when KFC opened in my town a few years back because I love fried chicken and there wasn't a drive through place in town but it was a KFC/A&W combo and apparently all of the employees were not just drug addicts but actually came to work high and stayed that way...

Anything more than 3 days out I consider to be for entertainment purposes only.

In one of the small towns nearby the only thing that's open on Sunday night is the dollar store. I tend to be over that way on Sunday so several times I've stopped at the dollar store to get something for dinner on my way home and it's the most depressing experience imaginable. Even gas...

*If things go well.

Yeah I'm assuming a full brake job for $500. If he was just doing the pads that's a bit much, but if they come to your house and do it I'd think that would cost a bit more. Not all brake jobs are created equal either. I did the brakes on my F-150 last winter and every fucking step of the way...

$500 doesn't seem out of line for a mobile brake job to me. You don't want to pay it, change them yourself. He might have meant "compress" the pistons. Not a lot of English majors that work on cars.

I didn't know those were fake. I remember kids renting them back in the 90's when I was in high school but I never wanted to see them and I still don't want to watch stuff like that.

The only thing worse than coming to the fast food thread to give a stern lecture on the horrors of fast food is coming to the fast food thread to talk about stock trading.

Did anyone else's mom worry that this cartoon might make her children worship Satan?

Thank God that you came to tell us that fast food is bad. No one knew that. This changes everything.

What the fuck are you doing in this thread? Fuck off.

Wow, that's super lucky.

At least most machinists are smart enough to use decimals instead of fractions unlike carpenters and mechanics that have to figure out what is between ¾ and ⅞. It probably does make us better at doing math in our heads though.

This didn't need a remake. I like Pedro and Zendaya but couldn't they make a new movie with them instead of making a probably worse version of something that has already been done really well?

Interesting that they changed their onion rings. I thought the old ones were pretty bad but some people loved them.

Give him a break. He was probably really drunk.
