That's not a great looking ladder.

Yeah I've been watching this show and Tokyo Vice at the same time and I can't watch either if I'm even a little sleepy or I wind up looking away from the screen and missing something that someone said. Forget trying to watch either show with your phone in your hand, but that's actually a good...

It's interesting seeing the location of ads when you're on satellite internet. For some reason your IP or whatever shows your location as where the signal comes back down to earth instead of where it actually originated from. For a long time all my podcast ads were for Chicago, which is 1000...

Something I didn't realize about butter is that if it's made with raw milk from a cow that's actually eating grass, it is bright yellow without adding any coloring. They only add annatto now to cover up the fact that the cows these days are not getting good nutrition and it shows in the...

Definitely.

I tried to find the article but couldn't. I'm not a martial arts fan or a kung Fu movie fan, so I don't have a dog in the fight between Chuck and Bruce, I was just repeating what I remembered reading somewhere.

Yeah, I saw someone ask Chuck Norris who would win in a fight between him and Bruce Lee and he tried to be polite but he basically said Bruce Lee was a movie actor and not a real martial arts expert. Norris was a legit martial arts champion before he got into the movies and he has (according...

It has nothing to do with whether it was a good movie or not. And there are thousands and thousands of old Martin guitars out there. They're not "priceless', you can buy one very easily. I don't think the music is going to die because that one got broke.

So none of this has anything to do with the movie. Sounds like you just think Tarantino is a douche which isn't news.

Same here. Especially if you use the drive-thru it's like they don't even know you're out there. I've sat in front of the drive-thru window for 20+ minutes when I was the only one out there and you can look right in the window and see them goofing off in there. All for the privilege of...

My speakers are all Polk except for a Klipsch 12" subwoofer that I picked up on a black Friday deal a couple of years ago. I still have my old 8" Polk subwoofer sitting around. Would there be any reason to hook it up next to the 12" or maybe stick it somewhere else in the room? I hate...

Someone should tell him that he doesn't need to live his life based on some retarded idea he told a reporter 30 years ago. Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood made great movies when they were old as dirt.

I got mine in 2019. 7mm thick stuff from Lumber Liquidators. I had 2 border collies on it and I live in the country so mud and gravel are always getting tracked in. Coming up on 5 years ago now and even with some leaking issues in the laundry room I couldn't tell you anything that's wrong...

Fair enough. I don't intend to sell my house so that wasn't a consideration for me.

FWIW I totally respect that. If you like real wood and want it in your house then by all means go for it.

LVP in a decent brand is superior to real wood in every way. Don't listen to these old farts that just want to rationalize how much they spent on their floor. Tile is just a cold, hard surface to walk around on not to mention that if you drop a plate it's almost guaranteed to break and maybe...

I've poured a few slabs. Biggest thing as has been mentioned is getting the ground compacted as well as possible. Never used a roller, just a rented plate compactor and/or jumping jack. You can probably drive your tractor over it a bit to help as well. If you don't get it compacted it will...

Flat Iron steaks were only "discovered" in 1998. They come from a single muscle in the chuck that's surrounded by tougher cuts. They were rejected at first because they are kind of labor intensive for the packer, but around 2006 they started showing up a lot of places. I imagine people didn't...

Stihl actually makes a fuel injected saw (500i) but it's a $1600 beast with a 28" bar on it. Anything that's appropriate for back 40 use is going to be carbureted.

Can't go wrong with Stihl or Husqvarna. I have one of each with a 24" bar on both of them and I can tear some shit up but actually if it can get the job done, my favorite saw to use is my 14" Makita electric one. It's so light and quiet and you never have any trouble starting it, and you can...

I tend to agree that so-called "serious audiophiles" are either nut jobs or people with more money than they know what to do with and shouldn't be taken too seriously. On the other hand, when they play the THX sound effect at the beginning of a movie and the room shakes from your big assed...

One thing I can say from experience is that if you're upgrading over time, upgrade the center channel before or at the same time as your L and R speakers unless you like watching movies and having the sound effects and score drown out the dialog.

For speaking at a very large event in their pajamas?

This is useless if you don't leave a phone number.

Shrimp is great for protein vs. calories. 4 oz of lean beef is 220 calories and 15g of protein. 4 oz of chicken thighs is 186 calories and 19g of protein. 4 oz of shrimp is 100 calories and 21g of protein.

Hey did you guys know that guy used to play football?

https://interestingengineering.com/innovation/non-stop-drone-operations-power-line-recharging Drones that can autonomously locate power lines and land on them to recharge themselves making basically infinite range possible as long as there are power lines around. The combination of this and...

I have both kinds of freezers and no doubt the upright one is easier to find stuff in, but you can't put nearly as much stuff in them for the same cubic feet because you have to pile it on the shelves. Pluses and negatives for both of them IMO.

If you think the price swings on little square bales are wild, try buying 500 tons at a time like I did in 2021, while every other ranch in the state that isn't irrigated is doing the same thing. I bought hay from North Dakota, South Dakota, Western Montana, Minnesota, Canada, and Nebraska, and...

Where's the water coming from? Would it be a possibility to do some dirt work and reroute it around the property or even dig a small pond to collect it? Since I live in a 13" annual rainfall zone, excess water is not a problem I'm familiar with. Your land will be healthier with a mixture...

What part of the country are you in? Obviously you're in the south in a higher rainfall area. I don't know those grasses but maybe you have a mixture of warm season and cool season grasses and your warm season grass has shut down for the year. Goats are browsers rather than grazers so while...

You think all the "special" language people use here doesn't sound stupid to an outsider?

Very cloudy here. We're not going to see shit.

That's better than what I did with my chicken thighs. Let them sit in the fridge for a week and now I'm going to feed them to my Mom's barn cats. I need to remember that when chicken is on sale it's because it's about to reach its sell by date and needs to be cooked or frozen immediately.

We're working hard on it!

It's pretty hard to find anyone who even remembers WWII now. If you were 5 years old when Japan bombed Pearl Harbor you are in your late 80's now.

Was your pan smoking hot when you put the beef on?

I wouldn't. Probably got an infection. It's not hard to kill a chicken. Unless it's multiple birds then finding a chicken dead is just part of having chickens. She could have had a heart attack or whatever.
