Re: MIT Engineers
my dad would give a huge I told you so to hear that farmers are growing sweet potatoes. He tried to corner the market in the early 80's in our neck of the woods.
4 different varieties plus his famouns "hybrid" - a mistake he made when two plants fused together. You grow them just like tobacco - at least at the start by putting them in beds in early spring to start the plants and then transfer them to the field with a setter.
I had to dig a well
yes you read that right - Sumbitch made me dig a well with a goddamned shovel until I hit water so we could drive the truck with 55 gallon drums over to it, fill them up by hand and then hand water every one of those fucking plants he grew on 3 acres of land.
To this day I won't touch a sweet potato. A pox on them all, they are a scourge to mankind.
My eye is fucking twitching just typing this out.

I like the stinky pinky but only up to the first knuckle, I do not want a GD thumb up there--I've told her multiple times and I always catch her when she tries to pull a fast one---it's my butthole for Chrissakes I'm gonna know--so cut out the BS.

Come on now, sweet potato fries with Frank's Sweet Chili sauce is damn good shit.
Sure, I've been called a xenophobe, but the truth is, I'm not. I honestly just feel that America is the best country and the other countries aren't as good. That used to be called patriotism.

"He never rode with Coffee Jack. Uncle Mac. That's all bull. I dont know who started that. He was shot down on his own porch in Hudspeth County.
When did he die?
Eighteen and seventy-nine.
No, I mean was it right away or in the night or when was it.
I believe it was that night. Or early of the mornin. She buried him herself. Diggin in that hard caliche. Then she just packed the wagon and hitched the horses and pulled out of there and she never did go back."

Re: MIT Engineers
Irregardless, here's another passage from No Country For Old Men:
"They passed below him and he watched them out of sight down the river. He wasnt really even thinking about them. He was thinking about his truck. When the courthouse opened at nine oclock Monday morning someone was going to be calling in the vehicle number and getting his name and address. This was some twenty-four hours away. By then they would know who he was and they would never stop looking for him. Never, as in never.
He had a brother in California he was supposed to tell what? Arthur there's some old boys on their way down there to see you who propose to lower your balls between the jaws of a sixinch machinist's vise and commence crankin on the handle a quarter turn at a time whether you know where I'm at or not. You might want to think about movin to China."

I don't need to purchase. I've already got some land. I want that big time rent money.

I use BoxVPNSaint wrote:Need to know of a good VPN to use for Kodi with Fire stick? Asking for a friend
but the one that alot of people use is "hidemyass"
funny name but serious VPN.
Here is the problem - Netflix and Amazon won't show you stuff if they recognize your are using a VPN.
so I only use the VPN to download /torrent
and turn it off for everything
BoxVPN is like $30 a year.

Re: MIT Engineers
We got 3 months of IP Vanish for $20. I didn't notice any better load times and still couldn't access live TV channels but we just got it so I need to learn more about Kodi. If I installed the VPN on Fire stick, it shouldn't affect my other network devices, right?

nope
you should know they are shutting down live tv on Kodi now though
two of the providers stopped loading their add-ins
chances are someone else will pop up and replace them but live TV on kodi is tough at the moment
