    Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

    Enjoy! I got a PH 5 for over the dining room table and some Toldbods for over the kitchen island and love them.

    Cool furniture, design objects and desiderata

    Which setup did you end up going with? I’ve been in the same boat as you where we have a nice stream, but it’s about a mile walk from our cabin and carrying a full rod/casting reel setup with a tackle box is a bit of a chore. I got a portable, collapsible rod last winter but the thing is...

    The Home Ownership Thread

    We have security cameras mounted on the exterior with an on-site server to monitor them. For an alarm system, we have an internal system with door and glass break sensors that sounds an alarm when activated but is not connected to our phone lines to notify police that the system was set off...

    Cars We Drive!

    As a new owner of an F-250 Tremor with a Crew Cab, this topic hits close to home. It is difficult to park, is tall and long, won't fit in my garage until I modify the header to allow for the extra height, and gets poor gas mileage, but there were really no other good options for me. I work in...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    Yeah, I’m with Lefty. I’ve never been around one, but there seems to be a lot of variability with them. On a side note, the reaction that the lady’s Ovcharka invoked is the same I get a lot when I’m out with my male boerboel. About 50% of the people are totally infatuated with him, and the...

    Things that are making you happy*******food and drink edition******

    Seriously. You’re (@mgm9128) one of the reasons I’ve subscribed to a lot of these food related threads. I’ve taken some inspiration from your cooking and photos, but whatever entertainment value you think you’re providing with these creepy, spectrumy posts probably isn’t being received the way...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    I bought one of the dividers for my dog, but I stopped using it. The issue I ran in to was getting it to mount securely and stay in place as I drove. It always ended up loosening until it would eventually fall over and freak out the dog. I think they are great if you can find one that will...

    Recent purchases - Part II

    These recent posts convinced me to get a pair of JMM as well, and the thickness of the acetate was the first thing I noticed when handling them.

    lefty's random dog thread.

    None of this makes sense. First of all, there is no federal ban on any dog breed in the U.S. There are even states that specifically prohibit local governments from creating bans based on breed and from declaring certain breeds as dangerous. The U.S. is not a country that overly regulates dog...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    I have also known fighting breed dogs that were total sweethearts to the people they encountered which, like you said, is very common. On the other hand, by far the most aggressive dogs that I have encountered were small, poorly socialized pets who were either neurotic, anxious, had too much...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    And that is why I can see the logic behind banning certain breeds. This happened in a not particularly great part of Chicago, so I can only imagine that the officers in that area must have had plenty of encounters with aggressive dogs. Add to the mix an officer who, like your cousin, is not a...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    Whether or not you agree with bans is one issue, but if there is a problem with dog attacks and it is a politician's responsibility to find a way to reduce serious injuries or deaths (to both people and other dogs), then banning some "dangerous breeds" is probably the most effective measure that...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    While owners can play a key role in determining the aggression level in their dogs, certain breeds definitely have the potential to be more naturally aggressive than others. There is also a lot of individuality within a breed, or even a litter. But dogs have been selectively bred for...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    There is definitely a lot of variation in the breed, and I have spent a lot of time talking with our breeder, Randy Proffer, about that. He was one of the first breeders in the U.S. and has been breeding Boerboels for decades, so he has seen a lot of dogs come and has seen plenty of mixing with...

    lefty's random dog thread.

    Since we are on the topic of "tough breeds" and mastiff/molessers.... Here is my boerboel. He just turned two and is super aggressive to the point that he will kill a 300 lb. man with his kisses. He is headstrong, much more so than my giant schnauzer, but his intelligence is unbelievabe.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     I tend to work in unhealthy stuff here and there (maybe a couple times a week) when cutting but do it more as a way to keep me sane. It can also help make dieting more sustainable in the long term for people who have cravings. I have gotten used to eating pretty healthy though, so I don't...

    PVC pipe works good for me. Athletic tape can help the slippage a little bit if you get too sweaty.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

    I think it's also worth noting that soreness is not a good indicator of whether or not an exercise is working.

    Random health and exercise thoughts

     I'd definitely be interested in that Norwegian program. Would it be a step back in volume for bench or squat? I feel like my bench is at a point where if I decrease the volume it will quit improving or start going backwards. I'd like to get my squat and deadlift up to that point too. As...
