  1. I figured they were already doing that.
  2. Was going to say I'd rather risk one day of side effects than a week or more of being down with Covid... assuming you don't die of course.
  3. The vax threads on Nextdoor would be more entertaining if they weren't so rage inducing. So much blatant, easily verifiably false information being spread as facts. Always followed by anecdotal evidence and pleas to 'do your research.' People don't even know what research is anymore. Was talking to a family member earlier who is vaxxed, but is also pretty hardcore conservative. I was bitching about how much false information is spread via social media. They agreed, but followed with 'it's just hard to know what is and isn't true anymore'. Well...sometimes, but if you just use your brain you can filter out a good majority of the bullshit without even having to do any research at all.
  4. Could smell it as soon as I walked in the door.
  5. These are surprisingly entertaining.
  6. Absolutely perfect outside in Houston right now.
  7. Always love getting new tires. Always hate trying to find someone competent to mount them.
  8. I guess Google WiFi does not allow capping speed by device. I looked and we only run between 600-700 GB each month though.
  9. I also used my satellite feed into the house that branched out to all the rooms I have TVs in. It's a pretty clean setup for an amateur.
  10. There looked to be some cupping on the inside edge. Regardless I'll have the alignment checked once I get the new tires mounted.
  11. I put an antenna in my attic and hooked it up to a splitter that boosts the signal to every TV in my house. Works perfectly. I think this is the antenna. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MYMVPVX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_MWYZT157ZZ92JVA4N00N Amplifier is something like this, but can't remember the exact brand and am too lazy to go up into my hot attic right now. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001PI09SE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_glt_fabc_60VFBKV640AA9BSDKGE1 There's a website that shows you where your local towers are and how far away. Buy the appropriate size antenna for your location and point it toward the towers wherever you mount it.
  12. Lol that was good. Who the hell compares MelloYello to Sprite though? GTFO with Dr. Thunder.
  13. I grew up calling it pop and was very anti-calling everything Coke. Then I moved to Texas and can't even remember the last time I called them pop.
  14. This is me. My house is in a constant state of half finished projects.
  15. Apparently I need to look at the tread on my tires more often. Took my wheels off yesterday to bleed my brakes and found this on the rears. Edges still looked okay which is why I didn't really notice. Fronts are also fine. I guess I've been over inflating, alignment is off, or both. They did have almost 35K on them so they were about due anyway, but wasn't expecting that this weekend.
  16. This. It was hot as fuck today. Bring back the 78 degree weather.
  17. Isn't this dude still collecting unemployment?
  18. That last ten minutes or so was crazy. Glad to see Messi win one.
  19. I agree. Just listing the reasons given from the people I know who aren't vaxxed.
  20. In my experience the excuses are 1) already had Covid 2) someone their sister's cousin's friend knows had a bad reaction to the vaccine 3) they haven't had time (bullshit) 4) they're conspiracy theorists and think this is some kind of global coordinated plan to depopulate the Earth...or something. There are also plenty who still, after everything that has happened, believe this whole thing has been overblown and the virus is nothing more than a cold so why would they get a vaccine for it.
  21. Clear bra for rock chips. I've used Xpel and 3M. Xpel seems better so far and it has a 10 year warranty. Ceramic for paint protection. No idea on brands because I've never had it done. I did the DIY OptiCoat back in the day and it was awesome. Apparently the stuff the pros use is even better. Be ready to spend a few grand for a quality job.
