  1. Oh I absolutely plan on using it sober and drunk, but I’m under 200 lbs now, so if someone tells me the best zip line is Brand X but it only holds 250 lbs, that’ll work.
  2. Wa he 80 years older when he landed due to relativity, or were we all 80 years older than him?
  3. Don’t know if this is the right thread for this but I’ll try. I built a tree fort (deck) for my kids. I want to put a ~150’ zip line starting about 15’ in the air. No clue which brand to buy. This will be for 10-13 year olds (to 40 year old for em ). I do want one with a seat or loop / foot stand. Max weight of 250 is plenty. Most of the Amazon ones I see are easily 300 lb if not 400 lb. Any recommendations?
  4. We had a power surge when it exploded, and a few more throughout the day. The last one killed my docking station, but we will rebuild. Celanese went to flare on the first surge, and most of the plants shut down temporarily.
  5. If you hate it that much don’t watch I think the show is great.
  6. My ReFi was…3-4 months ago? And I’m still getting multiple calls and texts every day.
  7. I don’t lump Buffy in the generation with the rest of those shows in my head. It gets categorized with the 00s
  8. Yeah, if we had a functional electric company everything should have been back to normal after 3 days as weak as Beryl was. We’d still be without power if an Ike equivalent hurricane had rolled through.
  9. Should have been set to Weird Al’s Amish Paradise.
  10. All saws are hammers if you’re brave enough…or a maintenance tech.
  11. Houston Area getting grazed by winds up to 75 mph - how many millions of customers lose power? How many weeks to restore this time?
  12. Yeah, well I got split from my (eventual gf and to be ) wife and ended up in jail…. She stopped watching games with me 😁
  13. Translate for an old person
  14. Ffs help me out here. My belt tore so I don’t have a before picture, it’s been a while since I changed the belt and can’t remember the path, and I can’t find it online.
  15. Wasn’t it Tilt? My comment was more a sarcastic comment about how I don’t feel like PD mall really advanced much during the 90s
  16. Not that public ed doesn’t have its own host of problems, but I’d be for rolling it in to public ed, but make it optional until K so that parents that have the means and desire to stay home can still, but also give those without the means the ability to go back to work. Also do away with summer as a long break so that those families done have to find a place to pay $500 a week all summer and wipe out any of the income they made during the year. Also extend school after hours (optional), especially at the younger ages so because 8-3 doesn’t really line up with any adults work schedule, and wtf are you supposed to do with a 3 year old after they get out of schoool. Divert about 1% of the defense budget away to bump teacher pay, hire more teachers for the new pre-pre-K grades and extended optional hours
  17. Ehhh. Aside from the food court being decorated differently, that could easily be parkdale mall.
  18. He probably just wants to be involved to warp them (more). Also he still has to make the One, right?
  19. No. It’s really not that hard. It’s a very low skill level.
  20. Drywall is super easy to repair. Lots of YouTube videos. If you’re not near a stud, just cut out a square around it, buy a half sheet from HD, cut similar size square. Get 4 small pieces of scrap wood and hold them inside the hole and use drywall screws to secure them. Then screw your piece to scrap. Fill gaps with mud, tape over. Doesn’t matter how bad it looks because you’re going to sand it and it and out more mud on (thinly). Mud and sand until you’re happy. matching the color of the paint will be the hardest part.
  21. Felt like fall this morning in Brazoria. In the low mid 70s, cloudy, and windy. Got a lot of work done on the kids treehouse. No 90s in the 10 day forecast. Upper 60s for the lows next weekend. Blast furnace is done.
  22. No 42 year old father today was in a gym during the Cold War. Maybe a jungle gym.
