    The Fast Food Thread

    I tried the peach cobbler rolls at Arby's. Two thumbs up. They are fried as all fast food pies should be now that we're out of the fat phobia era.

    2026 Winter Olympics!

    Asian women really seem to dominate in the sports I've watched. In both figure skating and snow boarding the only people in the running with Japan, Korea and China were Asian women from the US.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't think they expect fast food workers to last long. It's usually just getting warm bodies in there to cover the next shift. I have interviewed people for jobs that they were overqualified for though, and it's usually a negative for me because I assume they're going to be looking for a...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    Yeah, the TV writers had the added difficulty of having to do it in a very short period of time. The idea of having the revelation of Jon Snow's true identity, the battle with the army of the dead, and then going all the way to conquering King's landing and resolving all the other storylines in...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    I think he's in a pretty bad spot with regard to the main GoT story. I think the biggest thing that made everyone turn on the show in the last season was Daenerys turning into a psycho so suddenly. Even though there is foreshadowing of it happening going all the way back to early in the...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    I was wondering about that too. They made a pretty big deal of focusing on him slicing his inner thigh so I was sort of thinking he got his femoral artery and he was going to bleed out but obviously that wasn't the case which leaves me wondering why the focus on that.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Duvall will always be Agustus McCrae to me. The Godfather is also a pretty nice thing to have on the old resume.

    That head wound was a little fake I thought. There should have been blood gushing out of that. It's not something you would walk around and no one would notice.

    2026 Winter Olympics!

    Sometimes I really wonder why I keep reading this board and then I come to the Olympics thread and find a discussion about the best events to watch for butt jiggling and I know that I belong here.

    The Documentary Thread

    So I grew up believing that beavers needed to be wiped out. If there was a beaver dam in one of our creeks, my Dad got right to work to kill it and clear the dam but I was never sure why. Most of my neighbors still feel this way but there are some progressive types that are actually building...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    Has this show left Duncan's POV at all? I'm not sure we as the audience have been privy to anything that Duncan wasn't for the whole show which is interesting. The fight was clearly all from his perspective.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Yeah. I feel like $15 a month for the amount I watch YouTube is easily worth it, but there's a significant faction here that seems to believe not paying for internet content is some sort of principled stand. Personally I watch hours of YouTube a week and it's easily worth $15 a month to never...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    A week late but I did it...kind of half-assed. Cooked down some jarred marinara sauce so it wouldn't be too watery, then cubed up some pepperoni and mozzarella and wrapped them up wonton style and fried them. They weren't bad. Better than Totinos I would say, but not really worth the...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    Sorry to hear. It's coming up on the 18th anniversary of my dad dying at age 55. He died suddenly so I didn't get to tell him goodbye but I didn't have to watch him deteriorate either. Not sure which would be worse. Still wish I could talk to him sometimes.

    It's not so much that it couldn't happen, but it would just be insane for a moon colony to attack earth because even though they could do some significant damage, they would have no way of defending themselves from a counterattack and they would be totally dependent on regular shipments from...

    Thanks. I want to bring out the red color of the cherry. I don't mind if it gets darker, as long as it stays reddish. Maybe I'll get a little can and test it on some scraps. Do you think the polycrylic over mineral oil or something similar would work, aside from whatever limitations the...

    Woodworking

    I did my other bathroom countertops with polycrylic and they have held up pretty well but I stained them first. It's only been about 3 years though. I imagine the waterlox would darken the wood in a similar way to putting oil on it?

    Question for the finishing experts out there. I have cherry butcherblock countertops in my kitchen. I oil them from time to time with a mixture of beeswax and coconut oil. I have a leftover chunk that I want to put on a bathroom vanity in my basement. I want the color of the ones in the...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    Having games in Central and South America is nice just because the time zones are the same. Going to Australia is a nightmare, not only for the crazy long flight but a 19 hour time shift has to fuck with you as well.

    Bingo. The NFL can't really get a lot more popular than it is in the US. The only way to keep the number going up is to expand to the rest of the world.

    Mars is awesome except that the soil is poison, everything is radioactive, you are required to live in an airtight and climate controlled container that the dust will begin destroying immediately, and the gravity and barometric pressure will destroy your bones and muscles if there's anything...

    Yeah I didn't mean that there was ever going to be a sustainable colony on the moon, just that it would be cool to have a space station there. I don't think travel time is the "only" downside to Mars though.

    I'll admit that Elon captured my imagination on this Mars thing, but the more I learn about it, the more it seems like the idea of a self-sustaining colony on Mars is not possible and certainly not possible anytime soon. It's also not a great plan as far as a "backup" for humanity to go on...

    A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight

    I agree with the posts above. At this point just wait 2 weeks and watch it as q long movie. It's enjoyable but getting such a small part of the plot each week is frustrating.
