    The Fast Food Thread

    The whole concept of Door Dash is insane to me. Especially when you see people posting receipts for their $30 burrito after the delivery fee. Doesn't matter for me though since I live 50 miles from any restaurants so no one is delivering to me anyway.

    The prices on some of these fancy frozen pizzas are nuts. Why would you pay $12 or $15 for a frozen pizza when you can get delivery from dominoes/pizza hut/little Caesars for $10?

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    It might be too late at her age but everyone should have nursing home insurance as they get older. I think the cut-off is 79 but if you are 75 and have significant health issues they may not take you or the premiums are going to be high. Medicare won't pay for nursing home care unless you have...

    Elderly Parents and Looking Out for Them

    Just ask your mom if she has an estate plan and what it is. I'm sure if she's sitting on a lot of money it's probably already occurred to her that anyone she's dating might be in it for the money. Hell, setting up a will and trust that leaves whatever cash she doesn't spend to her kids would...

    I think doing all that would take me about 6 years, which means it would really take me 18 years.

    It is pretty weird that you can tell them "That is completely wrong" and they will be like "Oh yeah you're right" and then spit out the correct answer.

    I thought they made it pretty clear that he let her win. That said, the scene is probably setting the stage for her to do it in a real fight later in the season.

    The White Lotus

    It does seem to be a theme on this show that everybody gets corrupted by money. Of course the rich people are, but as soon as the plebs get their hands on some cash they are just as bad or worse. Probably pretty accurate.

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Facebook marketplace is the only way to do classified ads that anyone reads around here. If you are looking at an ad for something and you go to another tab to say, look up the price of the item new or something, when you come back to the tab you left the post you were looking at is gone and...

    I made my own chili powder in the blender once and the first thing I did was take the lid off and give it a big sniff. Not a good choice.

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    People use these things in milking stantions, but this is only for cattle that are tame and calm. If they start freaking out in one of these, they will probably break it, which can be a dangerous situation.

    It's really nice to at least have a head catch somewhere. If you look around at auctions/craigslist/facebook marketplace you might pick one up pretty reasonably. Something like this can be operated by one person. I wouldn't call it easy to use but it gets the job done.

    Flies are tough. Especially in a small area where you can't move the cattle away from their own feces which is where flies lay eggs. Ivermectin is mainly for internal parasites but I've heard it can help with flies as well. Oilers and dust bags are kind of old fashioned. We used them when I...

    What service doesn't do this? Netflix? I think everything I watch comes out this way. I'm not a wealthy man but I find all this crying about having to spend $20 on 7 hours of entertainment plus whatever else you might want to watch on Max for 2 months to be a bit pathetic.

    Burning at low temp and/or with wet wood will produce creosote with hard wood as well. We have 3 houses on the ranch that all burn pine and pretty much nothing else and have for decades. The majority of people around here are the same. It's not like I'm a stickler about cleaning the chimney...

    Homesteading and Hobby Farm/Ranch

    This is a myth. We have burned pine exclusively for my entire life and never had any problem aside from having to sweep the chimney every couple of years. It's just people who live in hardwood areas being snobs.

    My Onkyo died after 3 years but I read that it was a failing particular to that specific model that had defective capacitors in it. I toyed with the idea of replacing the capacitors but I knew that in reality that would mean it would sit on my work bench for 3 years and THEN I would throw it...

    I feel the same way about ranch pizza as any other white sauce. It might taste delicious, but stop calling it pizza, because that shit is not pizza.

    He dates a heavyset woman of color. If that sort of thing doesn't send you into a rage then it's not "beyond terrible" but it's not as good as the original show because the book wasn't about the Raylan Givens character and they just sort of shoe-horned him in to make it a sequel when it was...

    I don't know the brand from the picture but you may be right. I just Google image searched it. The one I have is made by Husqvarna, the Canadian chainsaw manufacturer. Seems very well made and reasonably priced. https://www.husqvarna.com/us/axes/hookaroon-sappie/

    Woodworking

    I think it has to be static. It's strange but there's no way the actual electricity from your shop vac is traveling to your sander and the DC voltage in your sander itself isn't enough to even feel a shock from. The fact that it only happens with the resin points that way too. I think you're...

    A pheasant decided to explode itself on my grill guard on the way to town the other day. When I got to town I went and looked and there was a lung stuck to my turn signal. Might have made an interesting video.

    I think people who spent 10k on a mattress are pretty invested in it being great. We've had this discussion before though, and for super extra ultra turbo heavy duty ultimate premium maximum natural sleep there's only one choice. The Hästens Grand Vividus, because it wouldn't cost $1,000,000...

    In my mind it's normal for some chickens to be missing feathers. The low status birds get picked on by the other hens. Maybe there's something I don't know about but I've been around chickens all of my life and there's always been some with naked spots showing through. We had a rooster for...

    Ben and Jerry's is all about the shit they cram into their ice cream more than the quality of said ice cream. It's not bad but unless it's on sale I usually go for the Häagen-Dazs.

    I put chicken skin in mine once. Digging that back out after it had rotted in the bottom of the disposal for a week was pretty fun. Don't have one currently since I'm on a septic tank. Don't miss it much.
