Grill isn't working. Was about $400 and six years old. Main connector thingy and gas tankjust replaced so not the problem.

Gut poll:
Try fixing grill
Buy grill in 175 range
Buy grill in 500 range

I'm pretty incompetent so leaning for new cheap grill.

How many people do you grill for regularly? It amazes me how many people buy huge grills but really only need a small one

I've had a Q-series grill for 12 years, it's been through about 400 tailgates and grill outs, and is my favorite way to cook whenever I can -- and I've cooked for over 20 people on the grill. Just can't cook stuff that takes 2 hours to finish

Highly reccommend.

At what point is anyone going to care that our phones are clearly recording everything that we say and selling the info for ads?

Wait you talk on your phone?

Ha - i do from time to time. But that might be the only time it's not recording.

A few months ago I told my friend he should look at Landmark Credit Union for a home equity line of credit to help with his credit card debt. Couple hours later I play Pandora and I get an ad for Landmark Credit Union home equity rates.

Yesterday I told my wife I had a headache - next thing I know I am seeing Migraine ads on twitter. It's ridiculous.

Any device that is listening for "Hey Siri, Hey Google, Hey Alexa, etc." is listening to you all the time.

Will only be there for 3 days, so I think we'll just hit the main stuff. Doing Normandy 1 day, 2 days in Brussels, 3 days in Amsterdam. Looking forward to it.

Was just in Amsterdam a couple of weeks ago. 3 days is more than enough, especially if you aren't there to just do drugs. Got super unlucky and went during their Pentacost holiday so Cuyp Food Market was closed, but that is honestly my only motivation for going back anytime soon.

Super easy to get around though once you figure out their public transport, which is super easy. Their subway system is relatively new so it's really nice.

What is the brand of the grill that just broke? I want to buy a gas grill and girlfriends parents keep telling me to spend the extra money on the Weber. Weber grills are expensive so I don't have a grill. lol

I've got a Weber Spirit 210 and love it, though if I had to do it over, I would have dropped the extra $100 to get the third burner. They are NOT cheap, though, and full size gas grills are a pain to move if you want to take them tailgating (the smaller Q series or a standard Weber charcoal grill are your best bets there).

But the real question is how often you plan to grill. If you're the kind of person who only wants to bust a grill out a handful of times during the summer, then don't bother spending more than a couple hundred dollars because it won't be worth the investment. If you're someone who likes to grill multiple times a month during all seasons, you need something that's well-made to withstand the elements and heavy use. In that case, I'd rather spend a few hundred bucks on a quality grill rather than paying for a $150 grill that's going to crap out on me in a couple years.

Things to do for a very small bachelor party in Denver? Only 3 of us, and none of us have been there before.

I bought a five burner when I moved in to my house, had an upcoming house warming party and it was perfect. Haven’t had to use more than 3 burners since it’s way too big hah

Lol having not seen any Simpsons, I could take that a lot of different directions without context.

One of my favorite posts ever was part of the Ashley Feinberg roast and how thirsty she was for splices across their sites.



















She is and forever will be my weird internet crush. I love her **** up brain so much.

Finally got our bids back for our house we are planning to build starting in August. Anyone that has been through the process have any major advice? Granted, my wife has some very strong opinions on everything already, but just want to know things I should look out for.

Excited as **** to not be renting after a year of doing so. **** sucks.

My parents are both in construction if you have any questions I can always ask them. My mom especially deals with these things daily.

Rockies game. Stadium is beautiful.

Head to Rocky Mountain National Park if you want to hike.... Or any number of other places.

Tons and tons of breweries.

I think about this a lot. Then I think ads might be the least of the things to worry about.

But I’ve had friends have that same experience you mention where you mention something and then it shows up as an ad. I haven’t notice that happen to me, yet.

And not just phones. Smart tv’s, laptops, Alexa’s, Google, etc

My wife lived in Brussels for 2 years, so I doubt that's gonna happen, but I'll try!
