    The only problem with Double Stuf is that they only seem to come in "Family Size". You can't just buy a few, if you want Double Stuf you have to have like 30 of them.

    I have never paid for a quote. That's straight up taking advantage of the fact that there's more work than there are tradespeople to do it. I talked to someone yesterday who called a local plumber and their phone went straight to voicemail where the message explained that they are booked 6...

    Old tools > New Tools every time. Of course there was cheap shit back in the day too, but the American made stuff back then is better than anything you can get today. I'm personally partial to Gear wrench brand plastic socket rails. They are lot more secure than the old metal ones.

    https://awfulannouncing.com/directv/nfl-sunday-ticket-class-action-antitrust-lawsuit.html Not surprising, but apparently ESPN wanted to sell NFL Sunday ticket for $70/month which I have to assume would be pretty fucking popular but the NFL refused it because they didn't want it to be a serious...

    They are only special if you can get them within about 2 days of being made. The ones you buy at the supermarket are just cheese in a different shape. Buldak 2x spicy is just about the hottest thing you can get that's not some sort of "challenge". Every couple of months I get a hankering...

    Cheater method is just to coat it with wood glue or something similar and then smooth it out and sand it a bit after it dries so you don't have to mess with any mud.

    Yeah, the 9ers have all the power. All Aiyuk can do is hold out. If they don't come to an agreement, he's under contract and they can franchise him the year after that. I'm guessing they sign a deal right before the regular season like Bosa did but that will hurt Aiyuk more than it did Bosa...

    Eh, no thanks. I have no need for a graph of my refrigerator turning on and off all day. I just want to know what something draws and I don't want to fuck around with connecting to wifi or installing software on my phone for fuck's sake.

    In the meantime, one of these is handy to have in a drawer if you want to know what your appliances actually draw instead of estimating.

    That ac unit alone is probably taking half of its capacity so I wouldn't try to plug more into it. You're going to get about 25 amps out of that thing so if each fridge/freezer is drawing 5 and the AC is drawing 10 you're pretty maxed out. They might be less than that depending on how new...

    The new gestures are good once you get used to them. I've been using them forever and when I pick up a family member's Android phone I'm super annoyed that they aren't there.

    There's a simpler version that's been around for years... Yes they are only useful for tandem axle trailers but they are tits when you have a flat on a trailer full of cows and unloading them along the side of the road isn't really an option. Very much more secure than keeping a trailer...

    No kidding, and when you do have time off you're going to want to go on vacation and such, not stay home and take care of the kids so your wife can make $5k a month working a shift at the hospital as a nurse or something.

    I too spend somewhere around 50% of my time looking for tools. Often tools that were in my hand minutes before they became "lost" for 10 minutes. Tools, on the other hand, are an end in themselves, not an expense. Just the happiness caused by hanging a new tool in your garage is worth the...

    It's insanity. And unlike drywall or tile or something, painting isn't that difficult. Watch a few hours of YouTube videos and you can get good results as an amateur.

    Man, that's insane. I guess there's a shortage of painters around or something. Can't imagine charging that much for a job that 2 guys could do in like 3 days. Painting isn't even particularly hard or require a lot of equipment.

    Taxes on inheritance is generally only on big money unless you live in one of the few states that have one. Federal estate tax doesn't kick in until $13.6M. States vary but most states don't have it at all.
