I wonder if they've ever planned a spin off that is set in the winter. It's probably a pretty boring time but for all of the talk about winter, we've never really seen it except for the very beginning that we saw at the end of GoT.

Yeah exactly. I don't think it actually still has the smell because my garden hoses are direct from the well and I don't smell anything from them but it definitely did back then.

I remember it being kind of a sulphur smell but it was a long time ago.

My well water is pretty bad. I have a softener and an iron filter for the whole house and the RO for drinking water. My grandparents lived in this house when I was a kid and just had the softener and you could smell the water when you walked by the bathroom. They just hauled drinking water...

You don't need to do the whole house most of the time. I have an RO system that just goes to the fridge and a little side faucet on the kitchen sink. Only use it for drinking water and ice. Using RO water to shower, do laundry, wash dishes, and flush the toilet is kind of silly.

These discussions always have to eventually go full retard and boil down to black and white positions. Of course exercise burns calories and even if you're just burning a couple hundred calories doing 20 minutes on the exercise bike in the morning, that's 200 less calories that you have to cut...

Seems like a lot of kitchen space for just ice if you don't use a ton of it, on top of the $2500.

Is this a bike you can actually ride or like those OCC bikes where it's just for cruising 15 mph downtown to get people to look at you because it's going to break down every 200 miles and if you go highway speeds you will probably die and if you don't after an hour you will wish you had?

My Mom had one of those and I can confirm it sucks ass. The one in the drawer freezer is 100x better. I have it hooked up to my RO water so I just bought one of those bypass filters and I don't have to change that. You don't need or want water to come out of your refrigerator. That said, I...

Just in terms of calories eaten being offset by exercise it's not that much. If you're riding in the Tour de France you're burning a lot of calories. 20 minutes on an exercise bike is like one cookie worth of calories burned so you're going to make a lot more progress by eating less...

Oof. I hadn't heard the part about the stitches in his face. The broken ribs will take the longest to come back from. I broke a couple of ribs last fall and couldn't lie in bed for over a month. I also had an entire day ruined by a sneeze at one point. If we have to have injuries though...

Yeah, if you're a great team it's good to be young as well, but it might just mean you haven't drafted anyone good enough to stay on the team for long.

I lived in Livermore and worked there too which let me avoid commuting which is the worst part of living in the Bay Area. I could actually see cows grazing across 580 from the balcony of my apartment. I started on a master's degree at Santa Clara University and only made it one semester largely...

I used to live just down the road from there. It gets very dry in the summertime.

Sorry to hear it. I always liked him as a guest on "This Week in Tech" and even listened to No Agenda for a while. It's funny because just a couple of months ago I thought about him and had to Google to see if he was still alive.
