    Household Major Appliances

    Those knobs are pretty easy to turn by brushing against them but yeah, this seems like a stretch to say Samsung was negligent.

    The Fast Food Thread

    This thread has taught me that McD's prices vary greatly by region but here a double cheeseburger is $4.45 and it costs $1.50 to add a patty. An extra slice of cheese is $.60.

    The Fast Food Thread

    You could but it would cost $1.45 more than ordering one with 4 patties. I haven't tried a quad but I wonder if it would get kind of hard to eat. Anyone remember when In-n-Out would give you unlimited patties and people were ordering 100x100s for internet clicks on their blogs? Pretty...

    Better Call Saul

    Seems like an okay thread to derail since there's not exactly a lot of Better Call Saul related discussion to have at the moment.

    2026-2027 NFL Season - The Vikings Are Looking For Their Sam Darnold

    Before I even got to the picture I was guessing George would be involved. He really seems like an all around great guy.

    If you order the double cheeseburger with a third patty it has more beef than a quarter pounder but costs $2.60 cents less, at least here. Even with four ⅒ pound patties it's cheaper than a quarter pounder.

    Better Call Saul

    I don't know how the subway here is still open. It's in a terrible location. At the end of a dead end street where you would never see it if you didn't know it was there, behind a couple other fast food places. Besides the terrible, overpriced sandwiches that are at every subway, the...

    Butthole Surfers: The Hole Truth and Nothing Butt (2026)

    I sometimes use "Pepper" by the Butthole uSurfers to start a stream on YouTube music. Always gets you a nice mix of weird music from the 90's. The other song I like for that is "Short Skirt, Long Jacket" by Cake.

    I used to have one every time they came out but my reaction was always 'Oh yeah, this isn't that good.". Haven't had one in years.

    Better Call Saul

    I get it. I'm a 49 year old cattle rancher on a multi-generational place and it's a lot of work and not a lot of free time and not a lot of money but having something to do every day that you're passionate about can be better than money and free time. My restaurant daydreams are just about...

    Better Call Saul

    I like to cook and I love food and I have to confess I've had many daydreams about having my own restaurant but I know it's way harder than you would imagine. I have seen so many places with good food fail quickly so I just stick to visiting other people's restaurants.

    Better Call Saul

    There's a good book about this called "The E-Myth Revisited".

    Better Call Saul

    There's a million stories like this. Restaurants are one of those businesses that people think they can run with no experience or just because they're good at cooking for dinner parties with their friends. Restaurants are complex, low margin businesses where you have to be good at about 10...

    Home Improvement

    I find that the actual paint on the wall almost always looks much more intense than it does on the sample card. These days I find a color I like then go 2 shades lighter than I think I want and buy a small amount of paint (Sherwin Williams has pints for $9 for this purpose) and actually put it...
