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.

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.

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.

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...

Just call him Creamsicle Herbert.

That's got to be tough seeing him like that. Getting old is a bitch.

It's crazy to think that this was my favorite show for like 10 years and then I stopped watching and 25 years later it's still on.

I thought this year was going to depend on Christian McCaffrey staying healthy. Now he and elderly Trent Williams are the only stars left on the team. It's like Shanahan wished on a monkey's paw that he would stay healthy this year. I'd hate to know what percentage of SF's salary cap is going...

They already had a path. All they had to do was hire a coder to work for them for a few days. AI makes it cheaper and easier, but the idea was the important part all along.

This is dead on. He lucked out on stumbling across a million dollar idea, but he could have hired someone to code it for him for very little money or learned to code himself. AI just reduced the friction a bit.

My Dad died a month before his 56th birthday. That was almost 17 years ago now and I'm only 8 years away from living longer than he did. You definitely aren't guaranteed to have anyone until they're 90, including yourself. You have to think about the future but you should also consider what you...

Calamari steaks is another thing I miss from living in California. Can't get any kind of calamari here really outside of a restaurant.

No. You are required to be outraged that an intentionally corny video game based TV show has replaced the statuesque British guy in a blonde wig with a statuesque Australian guy in a blonde wig. You must hate the show and everything about it and make many posts about how outraged you are and...

Yeah it just goes to show you that a lot of the shit we do is really nit-picky and most people aren't going to care as long as it's edible. Hell when I was in my 20's I used to put a rack of ribs on the grill and flip them every 15 minutes for about 45 minutes and I thought those were good...
