    Home Improvement

    This is how a lot of ranchers handle their finances as well. "It's almost the end of the year and there's still money in the bank? Better buy something so I don't have to pay taxes!"

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    That would be funny if McDaniel came back to the 49ers just like Saleh did.

    Frankenstein

    Why do we need this post? I heard an interview with del Toro about this and he said it's based on the book directly and not any of the other adaptations since. I want to watch it but my big screen TV is taken apart for a remodel that I'm theoretically going to finish some day and I want to...

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    That would be an awesome shop stool. Probably designed for Japanese people and has a 150 lb weight limit though.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    Reminds me of the most recent black mirror season episode where the woman gets a brain implant and then starts just randomly pausing to do an ad.

    AI: The Rise of the Machines... Or Just a Lot of Overhyped Chatbots?

    That thing looks utterly useless.

    My dad is probably dying, i am both worried sick and mad

    When my grandfather was in hospice and pretty much unconscious at one point he blurted out "What in the fuck am I gonna do about this?". Probably more interesting than most people's last words but we never found out what he was worried about.

    The Astronomy Thread

    My only thought when I hear something about quantum physics is that they could tell me absolutely anything because I have no way of detecting bullshit when everything about quantum physics sounds like bullshit.

    The Astronomy Thread

    Did anyone see Halley's comet in 1986? I was 9 years old and I remember my dad going out early in the morning to try to see it through his rifle scope but I don't think he ever did. You couldn't get as much good advice about when and where to look as you can now. I'll be 84 next time it comes...

    My dad is probably dying, i am both worried sick and mad

    I had a neighbor that did dialysis for a long time. On top of everything else he was driving 200 miles each way to get to the clinic twice a week. He came to a point where he just said "I'm not doing this anymore" and he was gone a few weeks later. It must be crazy knowing that you are going...

    On becoming an electrician

    Yeah, even if you think knob and tube was an awesome idea, if you see it that means your wiring is 50+ years old and that alone is probably a pretty good reason to replace it.

    Weight Loss Thread

    BMI is useful as a statistic on a large group of people. It's not that useful for an individual because there's too many things it doesn't take into consideration. There are many much better ways to tell if you're in shape or not than the ratio of your height to your weight.

    Weight Loss Thread

    If all you want is for the number on the scale to go down, diet will certainly do that. If you want to be healthy though, you should definitely exercise.

    Car ?'s

    I don't have a new F-150 but I love the Ecoboost engine. I had the same feeling when I bought it, I wanted a v-8 but I found something that checked all my other boxes so I decided to try the Ecoboost and I wouldn't go back. I had to replace the timing chain which I understand is pretty common...
