  1. I think the episode of BCS where Mike recounts the revenge for what happened to Matty was one of the best episodes of television I have watched ever. S1-E6 Five-O. I will miss this series. I will miss Jimmy. I will miss Kimmy. And I will miss Mike.
  2. Yeah the more I hear about her she seems kind of like a shock artist. I had heard great things about Lapvona, read it was a quick read that you couldn't put down, so I said Eff it and bought it. Going to explain exactly how fucked up it is in the tag below. Had no idea what this book was about going in. Yeah.
  3. We should mass produce them and market them as something. Maybe the Smoffin? Or the Casker? BBQIP?
  4. Currently going as like WR30 in a lot of drafts. I will gladly take that risk if the investment is in that range.
  5. I've had some vacation lately and during my commutes I like listening to podcasts. I dialed up the FF stuff and now I'm entrenched. Dorking out way too much but fwiw. Here are some guys I like well above their current ADPs (PPR): Trey Lance, Russ, Jalen Hurts, Saquon, Javonte, Etienne, Chase Edmonds, Rhamondrae Stevenson, Dameon Pierce, Michael Pittman Jr, Courtland Sutton, Michael Thomas, Mike Williams, Kadarius Toney, Jalin Tolbert
  6. I kind of hate the Lions but DC is hard not to like. I did not realize he was an Aggy and figured that will put him on most of your shit lists from the jump. I loved the shit talking between Duce and Aaron Glenn. The biggest thing I'm worried about is this series making me a Lions fan. My Lions fandom died when 20 walked away. Also I have to say that I found it funny that it took what, 20 minutes, to expose the Michigan guy as condescending and arrogant.
  7. SE Michigan. Northern Metro Detroit.
  8. Thank you. This is more than I possibly could have wanted to know but certainly answers my questions. I am surprised, I had heard that costs had come way down. I will see what they come back with. This may be an investment worth undertaking.
  9. I promise not to start a thread about vinyl siding next or every single aspect of home construction. I'm seeing stuff all over the map. Initially our contractor told me 5-6x the cost of shingles which upon my research seems to be bullshit. I'm reading anywhere from 1.5-2x the cost of a traditional roof. I know there are some roofers on here @ROFL BOX. Not in TX so I'm sure mmmv but curious if there was real world recent experience on this board on the topic.
  10. The entire season is just one never ending Price is Right horn.
  11. I bet a single game parlay on the CFL game tonight. This is a safe space.
  12. Thanks for the input. I like the idea of going with 36 as opposed to 30. I will take a look at some of these brands.
  13. We are redoing the kitchen. I have no idea what I want. Gas I presume. I was hoping for a hood or some kind of ventilation as we will be putting it on an exterior wall. Overhead hood? Down draft? What about the oven, should I be looking at convection/air fryer type stuff? We are going for a solid medium upper vibe, nothing too crazy. I cook but nothing crazy. I don't carry my passion for cooking and experimenting with BBQ indoors. Occasionally I like to cook on the cast iron indoors. I bake some pies occasionally but honestly most of what else I use the oven for is too keep BBQ warm or to warm up pizza for the kids if it won't fit in the air fryer. I like to cook pizza but prob going to get an Ooni type oven at some point. I am trying to design the wall layout so hooded vent or no vent is important at this stage so I can figure out if we want cabinets above or if that isn't going to be possible. Any advice from you surly assholes? Thanks in advance.
  14. I just finished this book Lapvona by Ottessa Moshfegh. Fiction novel. Super fucked up. I don't know what I thought of it.
  15. Man I wish I had the space and lived closer. Always wanted an OG full size Bronco. How many miles just out of curiosity? I would paint that sucker white and get vanity plates with my first name and last initial - Gill T.
  16. It was really enjoyable to watch. It was not tense or very dramatic but I have come to enjoy Jimmy's schemes as much as I do the cartel crap. The Howard scheme was a little much because the why still rings a little hollow to me but the art of the scheme and the way Odenkirk pulls them off is a lot of fun to watch. Jimmy/Saul will be missed. Maybe Gene catches the bug again after dipping back in to tie off the threat from Jeffie and we get a Cinnabon Gene spinoff. Kidding, but I would watch.
  17. That's every episode that Richie is in.
  18. I may have posted through this. It's been a minute. About 12-14 years ago I worked for a company that was courting Halliburton pretty hard. They sent me to Duncan multiple times. I've never been to a worse place. And I'm from Detroit.
  19. I am not trying to kick you in the nuts but honestly it kind of sounds like the culture at the new place sucks and you might want to start thinking about whether that is worth it. Maybe too early to tell, but...
  20. Thanks. Beginning of the next episode does, in fact, fill in some detail. And I think it's awesome directing and acting - the al anon scene with Carm unloading. I don't know where this is going but the cynic in me who posted the other night really wanted to say that if this was real life, Carm and Richie aren't trying to pump out delicious beef sandwiches under the old model. Carm is closing the place for 12 months and opening Jack's Bistro. And Sydney is Felipe.
  21. Tell us about the time you decided to be an asshole for no reason. Be nice dude.
  22. I started this show a few days ago and I'm binging and I really like it. But I have some beef with the overall premise. Need to read the entire thread tomorrow to see if I'm out to lunch on this. That's 2x points. Actually I'll go ahead and post my terrible opinions and catch up tomorrow. I might be way out of touch but do we really have French Laundry type chefs taking over food stands in the Midwest and trying to pump out cakes and salads and braised short ribs and risotto? Are these joints really braising beef and whole chickens to make Italian beef and chicken Philly sandwiches? I will just say that I have been to my share of Chicago sandwich and hot dog places over the years and I'm not sure what the Spanish word for 'Chef' is but I don't think that's what they're calling each other in the back kitchen. A place like the one depicted in the show I'm pretty sure is serving steak ums and the majority of their traffic is coming after 10 pm CST and the patrons are too drunk to know or care about how tender the beef is. Maybe the foodie scene has really caught fire but the past two times I've been to Chicago, it's still very much Chicago and not quite Bicycle Bar type hipster dominant. I mean I know there are some hipster elements in some neighborhood for sure. But I feel like they took a lot of very different elements of the city and tried to merge them and it's not very authentic. I've never lived in Chicago so curious what the local folks have to say. But it's good and entertaining and that's all that matters. I am happy to ignore what I perceive to be unrealistic details if I am entertained, and I am entertained.
  23. I looked it up. It's called "season pass". It was purchased through the prime interface on a fire stick. Try searching better call Saul on prime and see if you see the option.
  24. Ok so the conversation I remembered wasn't in reference to the lab but the picture was pretty clear. From early May: https://www.google.com/amp/s/screenrant.com/better-call-saul-gus-gun-superlab-lalo-plan/amp/ "Since learning of Lalo's survival, Gus Fring has expected Lalo Salamanca to turn up at his personal residence - hence the massive security operation. Even in "Black & Blue," Mike stands in Gus' house and utters, "Sooner or later, he's gonna end up right here." Earlier in the episode, however, Gus Fring experienced a sudden epiphany while asking a Los Pollos Hermanos customer if they'd like to try spice curls. After weeks without a peep, Gus realizes Lalo can't kill him without upsetting the cartel. The Salamancas' only option is to find proof of Fring's betrayal, and nothing screams "betrayal" like a massive underground superlab the cartel knew nothing about. Having been constantly wondering where Lalo would attack from, Gus now knows his nemesis will, sooner or later, visit the superlab. This foresight allows Gus to prepare for battle, giving himself a home-field advantage by planting a hidden pistol."
  25. Wasn't there a conversation between Mike and Gus a few episodes ago where Mike basically said to Gus, you know what he's looking for and you're going to have to meet him there to end it? And that was the precursor to Gus planting the gun?
