    I don't know what the effect would be on your car but I don't think you can build a 200 lb trailer that would be legal. Home Depot usually has a full sized pickup truck that you can rent for like $20 an hour. You can rent something like that a hell of a lot of times for the price of even the...

    Don't be ridiculous. Goats have more personality, but sheep are way better at sex.

    The tests in the article were done on a grill, but not directly over the heat. I think it would be pretty difficult to roast a chicken evenly over direct heat. In any case, you can certainly get a lot more flavor on your chicken by putting herbs and spices directly on it than subjecting it to an...

    You clearly didn't read the article. You're wrong. The beer doesn't get hot enough to actually evaporate, and even if it did, it doesn't go into the chicken. I'm sure your chickens turn out fine, but it's not because of the beer can. He measured everything and spells it out in the article...

    Meathead has a whole manifesto on why beer can chicken is a terrible idea. https://amazingribs.com/bbq-techniques-and-science/beer-can-chicken/ Also soaking in the marinade for 24 hours does nothing.

    The Last of Us

    And none of the people crying about the training scene in episode 1 seemed to notice that in episode 2 when she was in a real fight she got her ass kicked by a dude in 3 seconds without landing a single punch or even really resisting despite the fact that she had a gun.

    On the contrary, I try to make a point of replying to posts that are actually talking about the show. That's what I come here looking for. There just isn't much of it between the "bad writing" posts and the woke police.

    The Last of Us

    Yeah every TV thread is like this with a couple of exceptions. When it comes down to it I'm no better complaining about the complaining and I should just stop reading these threads since it seems like people are doing what they want to do but I keep thinking it could be different.

    Goats can be quite profitable these days. Especially if you are in an area with a Jewish, Muslim, or Mexican population. The size of goat and time of year depends on which community you're selling to. The Jews and Muslims often want to butcher it themselves so it can be done in a kosher/halal...

    This thread isn't for discussing the plot. It's just for talking about how the show sucks even though you don't watch it and how hilarious it is that Ellie isn't very attractive.

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    God I hate the off season. I don't want to tell Google News not to show me news stories about my team but this time of year it's just non-stop garbage articles with people who know nothing randomly speculating about the draft and free agency and contract negotiations and writing bullshit...

    2024-2025 NFL Season - Dak Prescott's MVP Tour Part 2

    I don't really remember but I assume Deion at least waited until he was dominating in the NFL before becoming a media whore? I'm pretty sure the teams didn't like it then either but he was so good they were willing to put up with it. Before your play your first snap in the NFL is a little...

    It can be, but it's been done a million times. I liked John Wick for what it was, but it could be more interesting if they don't just make it a mindless action film. It wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if they did, it is a zombie movie after all, but they certainly delved into some...

    Goats are fun. Much more personality than sheep. Sheep are about as intelligent as chickens. Goats do escape though and they do get into things and onto things that you don't want them to. That said, sheep will crawl through a lot of fences as well, but not as much as goats. Woven wire or a...

    At least it's on concrete. I tried to get away with moving a trailer once with one of these totes sitting on it unsecured... Naturally the bag tipped over and half the seed dumped out into tall grass. Had a nice couple of hours scooping it up with a coffee can and of course I didn't get...

    So everyone hated the game plot, but they will also be mad if the TV show deviates from it? Okay.

    The Last of Us

    I wonder too. People who played the game seem to expect Ellie to go on a John Wick style revenge crusade and that seems to be her first reaction but hopefully there will be more to it than that. There are a thousand movies where revenge is the plot but I don't think it really works out that...

    The Last of Us

    I'm not saying I wouldn't have done the same for my kid, but that doesn't make it morally right, especially from the perspective of an outsider. Abbey may not even know what her father was going to do to Ellie. To her Joel is the guy that massacred what might have been the one hope for...

    The Last of Us

    That's a pretty simple minded view of the morality of the story. Sacrificing one person for the salvation of humanity is the rational thing to do. Killing 20 people to save one is pretty insane. We are set up to side with Joel and Ellie but both sides are in the gray here. The fireflies were...

    The meme was specifically saying it didn't care about Christian values smart guy. You can disagree with him on what those are on a completely different topic but that isn't what I was replying to.

    I don't know but I pee in my yard all the time and the deer still come right in. I've heard of people putting up a two-tier electric fence with one low wire and one higher one to keep deer out but I haven't tried it. A guard dog is the best but that's hard in a populated area and sometimes it...

    Deer love to murder trees. They ripped all the branches off of my little apple tree I planted last year. Luckily the cherry tree survived. Probably because it was closer to the house.

    The whole concept of Door Dash is insane to me. Especially when you see people posting receipts for their $30 burrito after the delivery fee. Doesn't matter for me though since I live 50 miles from any restaurants so no one is delivering to me anyway.

    It might be too late at her age but everyone should have nursing home insurance as they get older. I think the cut-off is 79 but if you are 75 and have significant health issues they may not take you or the premiums are going to be high. Medicare won't pay for nursing home care unless you have...

    Just ask your mom if she has an estate plan and what it is. I'm sure if she's sitting on a lot of money it's probably already occurred to her that anyone she's dating might be in it for the money. Hell, setting up a will and trust that leaves whatever cash she doesn't spend to her kids would...
