  1. They got about 12-18” before the solid limestone in my yard. Then it’s was 4 days of busting rock to get down 6’. But hey, the hoses are in the pool as we speak. Finally filling this bitch up today!
  2. You should put bars on the windows. I would but my welder moved to California.
  3. He was an absolute coward and so are you if it takes a gun for you to solve that particular dilemma. You don’t get to claim self defense in a situation that you created through your own escalation. If a cop did that you’d be trashing them for it.
  4. Because he shot a guy that didn’t need shooting?
  5. Anyone have a link for some inexpensive UL2017 certified window alarms? I need 6 for final inspection.
  6. Thanks, both suggestions are just the kind of thing I'm looking for.
  7. It looked to me like she definitely shot him but we don't know if he dies or not. I could see how her shooting him isn't a plot line they have to protect. It was a gut shot. His recovery will be the big question and everything will hang on that. There will be other cliffhangers we don't know about yet. And I don't mind annoying characters. Wendy and Skyler both fit the bill but you need that. It's part of what makes you love the other characters; that empathy for them having to put up with her shit.
  8. I should have water in mine finally by Monday. Who's got good patio furniture recs? Just basic stuff. Chaise lounges mainly. I think I'm set on two adirondacks on the shaded side near the house, I'm all set on a patio table and the chairs around it. The pergola gets built later and will have more seating and maybe a sofa, but really just need some chaise lounges for now. These will be uncovered, exposed in direct sunlight, and will be rained on. I'm more concerned with simplicity and lack of maintenance. Not looking for anything that will rust or needs regular cleaning, sealing, staining, scrubbing, etc... Something comfortable I can hose off, brush off and be done with it. The stuff made from resin or polywood seems more like what I'm looking for than wood, cheap plastic, or metal. Cushions seem like more hassle than I want to deal with but I'd be ok with it if they were 100% waterproof and aligned with my level of laziness.
  9. Tired take. Even soccer fans think blatant untouched flops like that are bullshit. Flops like that are rare enough that you have to look for them on youtube, etc... Most games go on without one and most of the ones you see regularly are the same shit you see in basketball and occasionally football. A guy commits a minor foul and you exaggerate the effect of it to make sure it's visible. It was a foul anyway, but the flop makes sure the ref sees it. Not even a soccer fan would support the rare untouched theatrical flop. A few NFL flops just from last season NBA flops:
  10. You're probably just making fun of me and that's ok, I deserve it. But if not, get a VPN account. I purchased a one-month accpunt with Express VPN, after an exhaustive search, ie. clicking on the first thing google suggested. That cost $12 I think. Download their software, install it, open it, hit connect, select UK as you location. Then go to https://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer You have to set up an account with them. They will ask if you are over 16 and if you live in the UK. Yes and you do. They will ask if you have a television license. Yes, no need to actually get a license, just answer yes. That's it, select Peaky Blinders and hit play. I'm the 2020's equivalent of the 1980's dad who needed his kids to program the VCR and I figured it out.
  11. "Who's the pitchers in this game?"
  12. CASA. Court Appointed Special Advocates. https://www.casatravis.org/ These are volunteers who advocate in court, school, and in the community for abused and neglected kids who are in state-care. These are trained volunteers, appointed by judges, who make real-world decisions and issue recommendations to judges that have immediate and direct results on the lives of the most vulnerable kids right here in our community. They are a worthy charity for your money and if you have a job or any training that is even remotely related to the welfare of people or dealing with judges and the legal system.... ahem... like lawyers for example... they are a worthy charity for your time.
  13. Help me out here. Never used a VPN before. Got set up on that. Now BBC is telling me I need to buy a license. Is that legit? I don't mind spending a couple bucks to watch this a couple months early but I'd like to be assured I'm not getting railroaded by a nigerian prince or the internet version of the white delivery van with the extra speakers. EDIT: Figured it out. They only ask if you have a license. If you answer yes they don't ask for any documentation for it.
  14. The average woman thinks you hold grudges too long.
  15. Happy Baratza owner here. Seems like I've had it 4-5 years. I shake it out over the sink every few months and that's it. Never given me any trouble. I alternate between course and medium/fine and get consistent grinds either way.
  16. I’d like more detailed information about the 65 step process. Specifically, I’d like assurance that steps 48-54 were completed up to American Gold Rose Manufacturers Guild standards. If they’re using the Sri Lankan standards on this shit I’m out.
  17. Reveille Peak is outstanding. It takes a few miles to get to the really good stuff but riding on all that granite is like nothing else in this area.
  18. The schedules are based on getting people to the most common connections downline. For every flight you alter in the morning you'd need to alter several others after it at several other airports then then several more after each of those, and on and on. But yeah, our airport is way too small. I'm sure it'll be a quick fix, it's not like we live in the kind of city that finally finishes the only freeway that runs to its airport 20 years after that airport is built.
  19. The first of the bigger ones is built to probably 3’ off the ground but it’s a sloped landing to land maybe 2’ or so below the base of the ramp. That one fucked with my head for a long time because you cannot see the landing zone until you’re committed. And it’s down in a ravine so it always looks like it’s going to be a lot deeper than it is. The the last is maybe a foot or so higher, also to a sloped landings at a lower spot. As you’d expect, it was all a lot smoother than I thought it would be and fairly uneventful after the fact.
  20. I overcame some demons today and hit some drops I'd been pulling up short on the last couple years... Snail Trail at Brushy Creek. I hit the first one a few days ago but today was the first time to hit the second one too. Probably need to lean the camera up more next time. Need more speed on the second one to not case the landing zone so short, but it's hard with those turns right before.
  21. Not anymore. It will be the most googled thing today by a long shot. If they’re smart they bring Chris Rock back next year and millions will tune in just to see what other kind of drama gets stirred up.
  22. This is going to turn into gold for Chris Rock. He will be telling jokes about this for years. Sure, it was initially in bad taste on his part but he is far wittier than Smith is likeable and there is zero chance he lets this be his last words about it.
  23. tldr: USC fan won this football. I married his daughter. He gave it to me. The return key on my keyboard doesn't work.
