    Yeah, I'd get it if he meant not wanting to put on chaps, or some other more extreme protection which is fair for a masonry saw. But no excuse for not using the basics. As an aside as a former lumberjack for any of you chainsawing please buy and wear a pair of chaps. Chainsaws are no joke no...

    Got into watching his videos. Pretty good stuff. However... he had one using a masonry saw to cut stones for a retention wall with no hearing or eye protection. He acknowledged his lack of protection and went on to explain hes never been injured in years of work and that he'll take productivity...

    Those sneaky fucking Canuckistanis. Like two weeks ago it was floating around online that they had just announced that filming of Season 9 wouldn't begin until at least the middle of 2021 because the cost of insurance for the crew was too high with COVID. Cheaky fuckers!

    Beer Brewing Thread

    Been brewing on and off for 5 years. Had a kegerator at last house for normal store bought kegs and we transitioned it over to self filled home brew kegs. I would never do it without a kegerator. FUCK bottling. All the cleaning, capping, and extra time to have beer isn't worth it. The only down...

    So glad my company has a hard and fast rule, we support personal equipment for business related work for a maximum of 10min without Gate Keeper approval. Personal equipment is the devil. Is this for azure?

    2300 sqft. Its a typical 3 bedroom raised ranch, with an attached two car garage and an extra room the entire size of the garage above it. Stupid well thing has gotta go. It's in a little planting covering where the septic tank lid is. Siding is being scheduled in the next week or two.

    Inspection went well. Waiting on water and radon test results. Septic test is Tuesday. Only big ticket items that came up are heating oil tank needs replacement, and well pressure tank isn't work. Hopefully we will be able to handle that in final negotiation.

    Went and looked at some houses today, talked to our mortgage dude. Checking out one of them again tomorrow with my parents for a second set of eyes. GOOD: The place looks like it was in the midst of being remodeled and stalled. It's a raised ranch. Half the lower level was converted to an...

    I'm really gunning for a slimline laptop with the Ryzen 7 3850H and no dedicated graphics. 3850H built in graphics are more than adequate for what I'd want in a laptop if its mobile enough.

    What I dont understand about the patch size is almost all the content is just chopping up different chunks of the Verdansk map. We should already have all the assets locally. And it could just be me, but I think they nerfed RPG's, I've got the splash X for indirect hits a bunch, but only a...
