GET A DUBLIN CITY PASS. I write that in all caps as it makes everything else I say that much cheaper. Take a quick train ride down to Bray and walk the 5km cliffside walk to Greystone. Drink a stout and then ride the train back up to Dublin. Ride the train up to Malahide castle. The Guinness storehouse is a good tour,…

Fun bit of trivia, if you look at 22B as a hexidecimal number, and convert it to decimal, you get 555. If you were creating an homage to the 22B, you could always re-create the badge with 555 instead of the 22B.

I had to special order my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. I wanted the Willys Wheeler package with ONLY AC and the tow-package. No POwer windows/locks, no power mirrors, no leather, the base radio, the base top..... Took me 6 weeks of waiting for it to come in, but I got the car I WANTED. Oh, and I wanted the special color for…

Catwoman is supposed to be liquid sex in a body suit. Eartha Kitt and Michelle Pfeiffer are the 2 that have totally pulled it off. And I’ll have to give the nod to Kitt as even her voice was liquid sex poured into your ear. The female equivalent to Leonard Cohen.

And there are hybrid pedals... I use CrankBros quattro pedals on my cyclocross bike. I can use road shoes with the correct cleats and MTB shoes with standard crank brothers mtb cleats. I don’t think they are made any more, but if you can find them, they are awesome. Longer ramps so you don’t get the “squishy” feeling…

Original stepsides were just a 4'x8' box mounted on the frame between the rear tires. Then you put a fender on the tire to keep it from flinging mud/gravel up in the air and onto your own load or the cars behind you.

Pretty sure you’ve never heard of an autogyro. It is unpowered. All of the power is provided by the pusher prop on the back.

I find that most Missourans classify the state as “the south”. Well, their food might be southern in roots, and they had slaves. That’s as south as it gets. I currently live in the “Deep south” and I will tell you that St. Louis in no way gets to be “the south”.

In my current city (Birmingham, AL) the breweries’ tasting rooms are NOT a place to go get shitfaced. It’s too expensive for that. It is a social venue.

When my wife and I first moved to Birmginham, I was looking at local warehouses to see if any were in a neighborhood I would feel comfortable walking in the evenings. The couple that were, they wanted $800k for a 4000sqft2 space. Not quite worth it with how much work would have to be done to build a living space in…

YOUR instant pot might be able to, but MINE can’t. There are (it seems) well over 200 different instant pots, each with their own combination of desirable traits. There is no chart that says “If you want adjustable pressure, and a lid holder, but don’t care about cooking rice, get this one.” I don’t have a lid-holder…

Can confirm. Grew up there. The G.D.Fing Sunol Grade. I have spent more time on that damn hill than I care to admit.

Everything about this post is wrong. Not a single thought in it needs to be listened to...

While parked on the opposite side of the street facing the wrong way at the crest of a hill. Dipshits were doing that saturday night in the drizzle.

Nope. Raiders fan. Probably still has a sticker on his car that says “Welcome back to Oakland. LA sucked” And will have until they come back from Las Vegas.

Pittsburg, CA has no H. I grew up there. West Pittsburg (Now renamed Bay Point, but known as Gun Point) is what gives Pittsburg the bad rap. Probably where these fine folk are from.

DO IT! I have been roasting my own for 7 years now and I will NOT go back. I started out with an air-popper, then moved to a $80 air-roaster (a.k.a. fluid bed roaster) and now am working a 1/2lb drum roaster.

The trick there is the fridge freezer will warm up to just above freezing occasionally to defrost the sides. Hence, the frostless freezer. If your freezer doesn’t build up ice on the sides over time, it’s doing this.

Easy, very little will keep beans fresh after 10 days.

The trend of small cramped tables with way too many things on them (Do we really need a 4foot wide bread-basket? 3 butter dishes?) and HUGE plates with 6" of sprinkled herbs bordering the 4" serving of whatever it is on the plate has been one of the leading questions in my mind. In a picture, that looks cool and all,…
