Unpopular Opinions Thread
I was telling my wife just the other night that I want to start reading real actual books again, but it makes me fall asleep. She responded that if I can read a message board for hours a day then I can read a few pages of a book each night. Fair enough.

In a board full of terrible takes, he consistently has some of the worst. So keep that in mind.

Yep. I also enjoy IBC out of a glass bottle.

I'm just going to have my kids watch more TV instead of reading. Thanks Surly!

Switching electric providers
I locked in for around 9 cents for three years just after the 2021 winter storm. Hope shit settles down before I have to renew.

Replacement Windows
Thankfully I ended up with a house that already had nice Andersen windows. I think I would have gone with something a little different, but I can't complain. $30K-$50K+ is a significant outlay of cash for windows.

Jesus. Good thing they had a nice cushion going in.

Still can't believe that shit happened. That's something that would happen to us.

The New Car Fanatic Thread
Right, I just hear anecdotal stories about Moms getting stranded on the side of 59 with three kids in the car. Fuck that. Too many other nice cars out there.

Allie P supposedly kept us from hosting a few times so I'm sure it's one of several factors.

Wow. Did not expect that at all with how we finished the season.

Texas Men's Golf
We've lost out on more than one title where we dominated stroke play only to lose in match play. Anything can happen once you're in.

I've never heard a single person who was happy with their Range Rover. Yet people keep buying them so fuck it!

2022 NCAA Baseball News
That shit happened to us in 1990. Ran through the first three games easily 14-4, 7-1, 14-3 and then lost 3-2 to Georgia in the winner take all. My Dad still talks about that game.

Legit kitchen appliances & accessories
Blue Star range and oven getting delivered today. Nowhere close to installing, but still excited to see them. I went with them because they're made in the US and are as simple as simple can be which means less shit to break.

Abbott being Abbott
Reading comments online and it's basically all the same bullshit excuses as always. Gun laws don't work, criminals don't care about laws, bad people will do harm if they want to do harm, arm the teachers, blah blah blah fuck you. Only country in the world where this is an epidemic and somehow we just throw up our hands and say 'can't do shit about it!'

Realignment talk not going away
I just don't see how anyone still invests serious time and money into whatever it is that college football has become. It's only slightly more interesting than the NFL these days which makes it good for an occasional game or background noise. Maybe it will get better someday, but it has been getting worse for years.

Recommend me a mesh router
That's how mine worked. I literally plugged in my modem and it was live. My network password is all setup through my Google WiFi router and carried over with everything I had at my previous house.

Recommend me a mesh router
Previous owner left something similar in my house. Every room is hardwired with at least two ethernet connections all running back to a central set of switches. I have no need for all of them, but I did hardwire in my Google WiFi hubs and all of my TV's. Everything works great. My cables were all numbered at the switch and in each room on the wall plates so I just plugged my router into the switch and connected whichever cables I needed.
