Facebook is the bane of my existence. My wife was telling me we had to look out for exploding trees all around us because it's so cold. Apparently some asshole decided to reframe frost cracking as OH NO EXPLODING and grossly exaggerate the prevalence. It gets this cold here probably once a year...

Question for the people in the trades that would know: How does that pass an inspection? Does rough framing not get inspected? I could have sworn my deck had 3 - the footings, framing, and then final. I would hope a house would be way more rigorous.

Motorin!

I kind of want to buy a series of AI slop hats now. The most interesting one is the Eagles - unless you look closely it's almost passably right, but then under any scrutiny it's some buglike thing.

Here's mine: Ran it again since I always argue with the fucking thing. Curious, is it getting everyone's race/hairstyle/gender correct?

Sir, I'll have you know my matchmaking business targets only the finest, upstanding citizens in its targetted advertising. The hot milfs in the area only deserve the best.

I knew what you meant, I was just using it to ballpark what you stood to gain. So you've probably got less than 2 years of payments left I'm guessing? Any big purchases you were thinking of saving up for once the house was paid off? I'd think with the way things are going, I'd rather make the...

.3% of 100k is 300 dollars, nice car is 50ish k. I'm guessing remaining life of loan you're probably less than net 500 in gains from interest. The absolutely pure right thing to do is net the cash, but I'm in the same boat as you - there's a psychological joy in not having an ounce of debt owed...

Good hire by the Giants. With the Eagles seemingly on the decline, the Commies trying their best to RG3 Daniels, and the Cowboys lacking a defense, the Giants could turn around pretty quickly. I was worried Lafleur was going to be fired and he'd end up coaching the Packers.

Only compatability. I figure if it's running Windows, I'd like to stick with an x86 processor. If they're alright now, maybe I'll take a look, I wrote them off back when they released the Surface Pro X and it was hot garbage.

Going by the trajectory of this thread, I'm guessing he'll be going by Mrs Hammerhand when I check in next year?

Facebook marketplace has become sort of the defacto private party sales site now. Sucks for someone like me who refuses to get facebook. Consider this the universe concurring that it's a bad idea. A car like that shouldn't be a daily driver, especially in a state that gets snow. Save your...

Wife is looking for a Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard. Was going to get her a Surface Pro, but apparently they're only making the Snapdragon version of that now, so, that's out. Any recommendations? I guess non-detatchable keyboard is ok too so long as the hinges are actually durable.

Teams and coaches have a terrible memory (and ego). It's already happening with Brian Flores too. I don't see another Saleh or Flores head coaching gig ending well. Especially Flores.

I like symmetry for the doorway, but I don't think it's the end of the world to be offset like that. I would definitely want a double door for my main entrance though. The amount of times I wished I had one in every place I've ever lived in, if I was ever starting from scratch, it would be a...

I think he would be a pretty good fit as the Lions OC assuming they revamp their O-line. Only issue I see is he might be bad for continuity as he might get poached for another HC position rather quickly if he was able to get things working properly.

Went into the pool, forgot I still had my phone in my pocket. 'oh well, not a big deal, it's waterproof, I'll take it out when I get out in a few minutes' Later that day, every camera on this stupid phone has condensation inside on the lens. Good job Samsung, you cunts.

I think this is probably only the second time this had happened with a division: all 4 NFC North teams finished with a winning record. Also, equally flukey: the division winner was swept by the basement dweller.

I agree the NBA still has the edge by a good margin, but the NFL is doing everything they can to close the gap in a hurry. The fact I can see the name Vinovich, Hill, Cheffers, or Allen and know some bullshit will be afoot is damning. That at least 25% of the crews are complete dogshit is...

What a surprise, a Brad Allen officiating crew with a ton of bad calls... How that dipshit is officiating a game of any importance or even any NFL game at all really shows what a problem the league has. I'd say the NFL has nearly reached parity with the NBA at this point.

The range kind of kills it for me. 150 miles on the base version is miserable and 240 isn't much better. Cut those numbers nearly in half for any winter driving. I'm curious what customization they'll actually launch with - I'm skeptical the government won't limit a lot of the things they're...

Fuck draft lotteries. Does anyone think that would be on the up-and-up? That would just be another lever to make sure the league's money making teams are gifted players. Look at the NBA.

It was a fun, but heartbreaking couple of years. I look forward to going back to a basement dwelling team, having way more Sunday at 1pm games, and wasting another hall of fame running back's best years.

Honestly, that's so far above and beyond. I was curious if you saw any common threads in his choices and could think of one to recommend not already on the list.

If their Gmail is anything like mine, it might have ended up in spam. I was visiting some out of town friends and google decided to put all the follow-up responses to my planning email into spam. Responses to an email I sent out... What the fuck. Meanwhile, I have emails from shit like Us...

Looking for a recommendation of a sample of something out of left field to get my friend's son. Here's his current favorites, any recommendations based on his tastes? Azzaro - Wanted French Avenue - Liquid Brun Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Male Jean Paul Gaultier - Le Beau Prada - Pradigme...

Playing 14% of a steam library is waaaay too high. I can confidently say I'm under 5%.

Pinball you say... This one? https://anbernic.com/en-ca/products/rg-nano Curious why you'd want it for pinball. I'd assume you'd want something with a portrait resolution and uniform side buttons for that.

Fair enough. Fixed the tagline. I'd say it's probably this defunct fitness craze if anything though - she doesn't look like the type to be going anywhere: That thing was fun as hell as a kid, I think I'm going to try to find one.

INFINITE POWER! Oblig: worst google image search result for infinite power. Apparently this lady runs with her arms like a praying mantis.

You could definitely call those vehicles a series hybrid in the sense that you have an engine in the system and it's only supplying power as a generator. The distinction I would make is in the scale of the components in the system. Traditional hybrid: ~1-2kW battery (basically zero range as an...

Series hybrid trucks? Literally nothing currently exists. It wouldn't need to be plugged in. I think the only true series hybrid on the market is the Nissan E-Power overseas. They've also only put it in small passenger vehicles. A lot of OEMs are afraid of them since they can be sort of...

The battery in a series hybrid is going to be considerably smaller than an ev or phev truck - potentially almost 2/1 orders of magnitude smaller respectively. A traditional parallel hybrid also still has the engine coupled to the drivetrain through the transmission, so, it can contribute engine...

The energy recovery is easy until you have nowhere to put it. Most series hybrids use a pretty small battery. If you're doing a long descent while towing - a situation where you would normally be utilizing engine braking, it's very conceivable you can fill up the battery, then components start...

He looks like he's making the dat ass face.

Nearly impossible to pull off when you need a gigantic battery to not severely compromise its ability to function as a comparable truck to the gas offerings. As it stood, even with the big ass battery they had, range while towing was a non-starter. The EREV they're replacing it with could be a...

This is ridiculously out of left field. The only way this could get more ridiculous would be if quarterbacks had entrance music like the WWE and suddenly before the first drive it started blaring and he descended from the rafters.
