    You know you're getting old when.....

    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...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    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...

    Best Purchases You've Ever Made

    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.

    Weather

    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...

    Weather

    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.

    On becoming an electrician

    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.

    On becoming an electrician

    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...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    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...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    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.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    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.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

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

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    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...

    AI images

    I just saw the single hearts and clubs and such in the middle of the cards. On my phone I had to zoom in to see the numbers. I guess the comment should have been that the AI doesn't know what cards look like and not that it doesn't know how many aces are in the deck.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I don't have a Jeep and if I did I wouldn't do the eye thing personally, but "The Jeep Community" can suck my dick if they have an opinion about my vehicle one way or the other.
