    Home Improvement

    When we had our house painted a couple years back now there were consistent social pressures around the neighborhood to paint the brick too, and go to the "white with black trim, like an inside out fridge" look, or the "light gray, on gray, with gray accents" look. Instead we paid a color...

    2025-2026 NFL Season Thread - God hates the Chargers

    I have never seen as much give up and half assery as the Steelers "defending" that pick 6. 4 guys in Steller jerseys who looked like they were just jogging along with the guy to try to keep warm until the game was over.

    The only positive outcome of this game is that we're guaranteed that one of these teams will lose. Unrelated, but gave me a chuckle..

    I'll even admit that sometimes the struggles of the Cowboys aren't Dak's fault at all. This year, as I said, if they had just put forth an average defense, they probably would have been in the playoffs and potentially past the first round. But the cold hard reality of football is that the QB...

    I'm seeing a ton of the die hard and delusion amongst the Cowboy fan base going nuts about how INCREDIBLE a QB Dak is.... Then I bring up two key things : As Bill Parcels famously said : You are what your record says you are Dan Marino and Tony Romo also both had great stats.... Then I get...

    I think we can now start to truly appreciate the scale of player Parsons is.... Packers were 0-5 in games Parsons either didn't start in, or didn't finish. If that man hadn't blown an ACL they would honestly probably have rolled the Bears since even without him they were still getting some...

    I have a surprising number of friends, many born and raised in Texas, who are somewhat die hard Packer fans. Last night and this morning has been supremely entertaining to me. And from a national commentator I frequently get a nice "Sensible Chuckle" from who apparently is also a...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    First off, they all have a boiled down list of probably 15 song max that are the essence of "classic rock" for those stations.. Those 15 songs will be 70%+ of what you hear every hour. In this day and age it's a super condense playlist (depending on who you have play rights with) and in all...

    Investing General Discussion

    I wonder how much I'd need to poke around for a shop looking to move and get rid of the junk at .800-.925 purity? I could use some for my metalworking, but will absolutely not drop $70+ an ounce.

    2 foot long and 8 inches wide? That's real close to the measurements for the flat top I put on a half height wall in our entryway.... As you can see, mine's done in wood, but a long piece of 8" wide stone like that (with appropriate bullnose around the edge) could also work pretty perfectly there.
