    Pet love appreciation thread

    Pretty much. I buy power greens at Costco with kale spinach etc. No lettuce. That’s like a diet of potato chips to a tortoise. They love it but little nutritive value for them. He also munches on grass if it gets long. I also have some prickly pear growing that he loves. I blocked it off. I...

    Pet love appreciation thread

    We have a 13 year old neurotic cat with many quirks. But he is also the most personable cat I’ve known. And candidly loves me more than anyone. It will be sad when he goes in a few years. Also have a desert tortoise that lives in our back yard. Not nearly so cuddly. But I’m pretty sure he’s...

    "Crazy feeling" accompanies ISU star Tamin Lipsey into his senior season

    Well with AP credits and whatnot in high school these days it’s possible.

    HOA’s and their nonsense

    I have two places with HOAs. My primary residence has an HOA that charges about $200 a year for mowing common green spaces etc. I’ve actually had more trouble with them than my other place (more on that in a second). A few years ago I took part in a state program to remove grass and xeriscape...

    Roku TV tiers

    I have a bottom of the line Roku tv that I bought about 4 years ago for really cheap. It works fine still today. It’s not my main tv but I don’t notice it being slow. It’s TCL, and I’ve found it to be a good value for the price.

    Official CF traveling for work thread

    I’ve been coming to LA one week per month this year, since that’s where my company is based. I wouldn’t want to come more, but it gives a good balance of working in the office vs from home.

    When do you think you will buy a 100% pure electric vehicle?

    I just drove a Chinese car for 10 days in Costa Rica. A Geely Starray. I just looked and it’s about $20k starting. A car of that level seems like it would be 2x the cost here. It had its quirks but for that price and that nice I’d get one tomorrow if I could.

    Restaurant tipping

    Culver’s has expanded to more than just midwestern states for which I’m grateful. While they don’t accept tips, my tip is that I usually just get a kids meal. It’s the right size burger, drink, and scoop of frozen custard at the end.

    Restaurant tipping

    Actually, funny you mention tipping the dude changing oil. We had a place open up near us where you wait in your car while they change the oil. Last time I went there, after paying the $80, plus a $5 “shop fee”, the kid asked if I wanted to leave a tip. Telling me “100% goes directly to the...

    Restaurant tipping

    A few thoughts. I’ve been in Costa Rica the last 8 days. Every place I’ve been to accepts cards and there has been no tip prompt except one place called the puddlefish brewery, which in name and menu clearly caters towards Americans. One other place that was a bit more upscale, and run by an...

    The Last of Us HBO series

    I mean if somehow the Earth’s rotation reversed so warm water from the tropics flowed north to Seattle instead of cold water flowing south, then sure. It probably says more about me, that I get hung up on the weather, rather than all the other implausibilities.

    The Last of Us HBO series

    Here’s the biggest issue for me. All the lightning and thunder in Seattle. It rains a lot in the winter (summer not so much), but lightning there is very rare. I can suspend my disbelief for fungus mind-controlled zombies, or improbable last-minute rescues. But that weather is just a bridge...

    BYU QB accused of sexual assault

    I’ve always been told to use words in a sentence. So as example: “The preponderance of evidence shows that the Hawkeyes have generally failed to produce winning teams in recent years.”

    BYU QB accused of sexual assault

    Dang. That means she was just pretending when she didn’t know who he was. Down the rabbit hole we go…

    BYU QB accused of sexual assault

    I will ask. Ryan Smith and I are pretty tight. He said “good to see you” when my wife won tickets to a Jazz game and we got participate in the “high five” tunnel before a game earlier this year.

    BYU QB accused of sexual assault

    I think the chances he plays this year are pretty slim.

    A/V setup

    I have a couple Vizio kits which broadcast the rear surround wirelessly to a subwoofer and two satellites. The front is a soundbar mounted under the TV. Not sure if audio purists would approve but it works fine for watching streaming content.

    "All of the Sudden?"

    When I was in Russia, we used to practice English with this old pensioner, probably more because he was lonely and bored, more than because he would ever actually need to speak English. We’d stop by his house once a week, inhale nasty unfiltered second-hand smoke, and just shoot the breeze with...

    The Costco Thread

    I came home with a two-pack of sculpture metal herons a couple weeks ago. No one is going to convince me the $34.99 could have been better spent elsewhere.
