The reason I'd heard to wait if you can is because the joint will only last around 20 years and if it fails you may not have enough bone left to bolt a second knee to so they don't like to do them untill your 60's. I don't know if it's really true but they told me when I had my rotator cuff...

My doctor told me the cortisone was just a temporary band-aid but I'm enjoying it while it lasts. Also I had a rotator cuff surgery like 3 years ago and the recovery from that fucked me up in ways I won't go into but I'm not savoring the idea of another big surgery. I've also heard since those...

On another aspect of getting old, my right knee has been injured 3 times in my life. I had surgery on it when I was 21 and it's always bothered me a little since then but this spring I was limping on it really badly, to the point where I was avoiding stairs and such. Went to the ortho doc and...

Same here. Even now it has to be at least an inch or longer or it looks thin and scruffy. A barber totally fucked me once because I asked him to trim it and he just put on a half inch comb and shaved it. Took me a good 6 weeks to get it looking decent again. It keeps getting longer though. I...

I have a curved widescreen monitor too and I love it. I didn't have dual monitors before so it was a massive upgrade for me being able to have multiple windows more or less full size on the screen at once. I don't play video games but it seems like it would be pretty cool for that.

I don't typically use much air conditioning. I put in a couple of window units and use them in July and August and that's about it. Most of the time even in the summer it cools down enough at night that it's nicer to just open up the house. Of course one of my window units picked this week to...

It's 111 on my thermometer right now. Fucking sucks. This is why I moved out of Phoenix 27 years ago and haven't been back.

Interesting. Was that a union job? My brother was in an IBEW shop so I wonder if that was a factor. Might be related to the oil business as well. Those refineries deal with so much money that a few hundred dollars here and there just doesn't move the needle.

Big companies especially just don't want to mess with scrap. My brother was an electrician at an oil refinery and they sold scrap every once in a while. I also did several wiring projects around the ranch with wire that was rescued from the refinery dumpster. Once they sold $20,000 worth at...

I don't think we're going to win over the Dr. but I find these pretty entertaining for some reason. I've watched some of Katina's videos too. If you've never seen Molly Schulyer you should watch at least a couple of her videos, especially if you're into the gross aspect. Little to no...

He's the most entertaining of the Youtubers that go around taking those "if you can eat it in 30 minutes it's free" challenges at restaurants all over the world. If you're into that kind of thing.

It makes chicken breast seem moist and flavorful. You can cook it right and drown it in shit with flavor and get something edible, but there's not much to work with. Not sure I can sign on to "amazing". Butterfly it. You'd be surprised.

I like the idea of making schnitzel out of pork loin. It's so cheap and pretty tough to make it edible.

I use Meathead's Memphis Dust but as long as there's a little sugar and some herbs it's good. I don't like salt in the rub because I want to salt it with intention and not be at the mercy of how much rub I decided to use...
