    The Fast Food Thread

    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.

    The Fast Food Thread

    The prices on some of these fancy frozen pizzas are nuts. Why would you pay $12 or $15 for a frozen pizza when you can get delivery from dominoes/pizza hut/little Caesars for $10?

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    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...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    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...

    Home Improvement

    I think doing all that would take me about 6 years, which means it would really take me 18 years.

    Let's build some pools!

    Indeed. I don't know a single person that has a pool.

    Let's build some pools!

    In that case I would like 5 pools please.

    The Astronomy Thread

    It is pretty weird that you can tell them "That is completely wrong" and they will be like "Oh yeah you're right" and then spit out the correct answer.

    The Last of Us

    I thought they made it pretty clear that he let her win. That said, the scene is probably setting the stage for her to do it in a real fight later in the season.

    It must be disappointing to learn that you don't have what it takes to slice potatoes.

    The White Lotus

    It does seem to be a theme on this show that everybody gets corrupted by money. Of course the rich people are, but as soon as the plebs get their hands on some cash they are just as bad or worse. Probably pretty accurate.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Facebook marketplace is the only way to do classified ads that anyone reads around here. If you are looking at an ad for something and you go to another tab to say, look up the price of the item new or something, when you come back to the tab you left the post you were looking at is gone and...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I made my own chili powder in the blender once and the first thing I did was take the lid off and give it a big sniff. Not a good choice.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    People use these things in milking stantions, but this is only for cattle that are tame and calm. If they start freaking out in one of these, they will probably break it, which can be a dangerous situation.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    It's really nice to at least have a head catch somewhere. If you look around at auctions/craigslist/facebook marketplace you might pick one up pretty reasonably. Something like this can be operated by one person. I wouldn't call it easy to use but it gets the job done.
