    Georgia takes the ball away on the second play of the game. I love it.

    Okay, forget turkey for anything. Pork belly is not hard, and it's magical. So good.

    Yeah, five. Took us a while to figure out how she was getting pregnant... That's crazy tall for an 11 year old. My kids are all short. My 16 year old twins are just 5'1" (155 cm). I'm 6'1" myself (186 cm), but my wife is fairly short, but all our kids got super short genes it seems.

    Yeah, people are really talking past each other on this topic. Time for it to die. In other news, anyone else ready for their kids to go back to school and not be at home all the fucking time? I know that sounds bad, but I have five kids, and the weather here has been absolute crap, so the...

    I've decided people who have strong opinions on how college football national titles are decided love to suck the cock.

    I have a brisket in the sous vide for tomorrow night, I'm excited. But even more than that, I have a massive amount of pork belly for a group of people coming Sunday. I've never done it at home before. I've only ever cooked it when I was a chef, so I guess we'll see how it goes.

    This guy looks like an idiot. When asked if his team could beat the two going for the actual national title he responds with "that's not a fair question." Yes it bloody well is. Put his team in with either of the two going to the real national championship game and they'd get slaughtered. Here's...

    We have both here, DQs that serve only ice cream tend to be tiny, and usually close for the winter months. I can't imagine going to those places and ordering a burger or whatever. They do ice cream fine, but the rest of the menu should probably be avoided. Go to the "year round" DQs for that stuff.

    That's tankless hot water AND your house heat? Time to upgrade.

    That small tank is a pressure tank, not related to your hot water. The square thing is the boiler to heat your house. I don't think either of those things is related to the hot water that comes out of your tap.

    How is a boiler related to your hot water for a bath/shower? Boilers heat radiators, not tubs. It seems ridiculous it takes that long for your hot water to get to your tub. Get him to explain that, first. Thoroughly. If it takes more than about 90 seconds for your tub water to be hot, something...

    I've had that burger. It's not worth $8.25. Their food is good, but holy over-priced.

    I can make it look pretty and up to code. I have to research exactly what that is, and if I can pull 60 amps out it's simple. If I need more, we'll have to see. Thanks for all the advice, fellas!

    Tandem circuits is a good idea for now. It isn't just the kitchen I have left to do. I have two bathrooms to go, all the outlets are on one breaker for those two bathrooms, and I want to add under-floor heating to both of them, so there are a few more. Additionally, I need to add a few outlets...

    Solid game for Notre Dame. Had big trouble in the first half when the rain was terrible, but when the weather cleared up, Notre Dame just plain beat LSU. That makes me happy. And WTF Auburn? I can't see the Georgia/Oklahoma game. Is Georgia likely to get the lead back? Edit: my browser just...

    One of my kids was at a friends house when he was 4. He took a flying leap, and landed on a sleeping dog. The dog bit the shit out of his face. Had to get stitches, it was ugly. The next day, my son went back to the same place and played with the dog. The dog was totally not at fault, he was...

    This shit drives me crazy, too. I happen to have the original on the only format released other than VHS - laser disc. Yay. However, I do have a friend who can convert my laser discs to high quality dvds. Lucas went weird with copyright stuff, and it did compromise the movies. One of my...

    I hear what you're saying, I have the same fear with my middle kid, who wants to do "fancy" cooking with me, too, but is also a sensitive kid. Make it a party environment the whole time along. That's not to say you're not taking the cooking seriously, but a happy, non-anxious presence from you...

    Tax Reform and You

    I'm going to make out pretty well with this tax plan. A friend of mine with a small business (6 employees) will have his tax rate change from 27% to 38%. That sucks badly. If this prediction is right, he will almost certainly have to let someone go.

    Your children are going to need counselling. Yes, my children know the look, too. And I just had a conversation with one of them (17 years old). No, she said, she didn't fear me. She just knew that when I look at them like that, they've done something they shouldn't have. That makes them pause...
