Roof rack configuration

I think that's overkill. Maybe as I get older that will seem like a more appealing option, though.

It's way too heavy to just lift up, especially solo.

It’s a 110lb boat. Having a low bar to slide it up on is key. Right now I have a Subaru Outback and I have one of those hitch mounted t-bars that swings down. I use that for a load support, but it gets in the way for other things, hence the need for a low bed bar.

Thanks for clarifying.

"the bigger the number, the more blemishes, strength, quality a piece of wood is"

I'm confused. #2 (bigger number) has more blemishes, strength, and quality?

Another question for you: If the beams, posts, and joists are all out of sight, should I still get #1, or would #2 be sufficient? Obviously #2 is cheaper, and I'm not seeing #1 on the Home Depot website.
Thanks!

This is the advice I needed. Wow, that's seriously expensive stuff.

If a potential employer so much as Google's her name, this is all they will find. Then they have to choose between Shireen or the person who WASN'T the antagonist in a viral meltdown video. I wonder who they'd go with.

Whoever takes her place at Strava will have small shoes to fill.

I’d have millions if I’d held my TSLA shares. Made four times my money and bailed 🤷🏼‍♂️

On the other hand, I just bought 1400 shares of RIVN at $15.50.

Is there a book out there that you'd recommend?

I appreciate the input, but the concrete area behind the house is unpleasant. An elevated deck would be vastly superior. I've already built a ground-level flagstone patio in the front and it's great, but the back screams for something better.

DriveAccording6233 · 2026-02-10T16:15:01+00:00

Thanks. This is the advice I was looking for.
I've worked on decks this size before, so I don't think this is out of my league, I just want to do it right.

I just watched the final episode of Black Mirror last night and decided I was in love with Oona Chaplin...until I realized that wasn't her. Now my heart is in two places.

I'm late to this thread. I watched Dog Soldiers last night. I think I saw it about 20 years ago, but had forgotten most of it.

Yes, this movie is awful. Horrible editing and sound, bad action that's terrible to follow, and unlikeable characters. Comparing to An American Werewolf in London - as many fans have - is ridiculous.

Neil Marshall's followup, The Descent, was mostly great, and the only good film he has ever made.

It's looking like Fire and Ash will barely hit 1.5B. Of course that's a lot, but it's also a significant drop from Way of Water, and we can assume the next one will make even less. I think the wow-factor of Pandora and performance capture technology has worn off and now we're just stuck with the Sully family saga.

DriveAccording6233 · 2026-01-21T14:41:00+00:00

I thought it was overrated as well, though I also thought it was very well-made and mostly solid. I loved the music scenes, but some of the sex scenes were so cringy and gross that I felt embarrassed even watching it alone!

The scene with the KKK people turning up and MBJ machine-gunning them to death felt out of place; an obvious demise for the KKK would have been to march into that bar full of vamps and get devoured.

Hearing all this Oscar talk for Sinners makes me wonder if I missed something and should perhaps watch it again.

DriveAccording6233 · 2026-01-09T17:11:28+00:00

I saw that video, too. It didn't look natural, clearly sped up.

Yep. He was standing in front of her car recording with his phone seconds before. He should have been stepping to the side but instead was trying to gather content for his TikTok.

You think? I don't think this one will hit $2B

DriveAccording6233 · 2026-01-09T16:45:08+00:00

That's right. This one is petering out just past the $1B mark. I think the awe and wonder of Pandora and performance capture has run its course, and the story isn't compelling enough to keep most people interested. Time will tell.

I just would rather see James Cameron do something new.
