    What is the difference between a $700 Christmas tree and a $100 Christmas tree?

    No this isn't a joke I really want to know.

    How much should tree trimming cost?

    You guys are scaring me. :ohnoes   I need to remove 2 or 3 trees this fall. Only a couple years ago I had a tree removed, stump ground and 8 others trimmed/pruned and it was like $950 total.

    Anybody paying $1200-$2000 per month for lawn and trees is outside their mind unless they have multiple well manicured acres.

    @JJ Husker yeah that seems outlandish but the first thought that popped into my head was same as yours that they must have a larger than usual property with a lot of trees or something. I have a 1/2 acre and lawn service is $40/week right now.

    Lawn/tree care can be quite lucrative if you find the people willing to pay. good news about our pine tree is it’s in the front yard. I’ve heard backyard trees are where they really get ya because of the challenge of getting and using the equipment back there.

    Haha, great. 2 of the 3 I want to remove are backyard and the other one may be worse because it’s between 2 other trees and between 2 houses. Guess I better start getting quotes now.

    I just found out Galaxy Quest was supposed to have a sequel and the only reason it didn't happen was because Alan Rickman died. :(

    Just kidding, I don't know if they're actually on sale. $17 might be the normal price.

    The board is now unusable on mobile, basically. I had an ad in the middle of my screen which took up at least 50% of the space and it isn’t closeable. When I try to close it I have an option of reporting the ad or asking why I’m seeing it. It took me about 10 mins to get this posted because I couldn’t see s#!t.

    Same. Mobile is completely unusable.

    @Redux switching to desktop works, but the majority of folks won't figure that out.

    Great way to lose a TON of page views. Super counterproductive.

    Men are the worst sometimes. (/s)

    I had this bolt I was trying to take out of an exercise bike, and it was the very last bolt/screw I had to take out of the entire thing in order to take the bike apart. I had already done all of the others. But it kept turning with the nut as I was trying to unscrew it. The other side was flat and smooth and there was no way to get anything under it in order to get it to stop turning and no amount of pressure would stop it from turning. I spent at least an hour trying to unscrew it and I had about 7 different tools laying next to me and @Elaida wanders in all nonchalant during a commercial break during his game and 3 minutes later he's taken it out.

    I wasn't watching him do it but I have reason to believe he brute strengthed it and didn't come up with some genius plan I hadn't thought of.

    @JJ Husker  Yes but brute strength is cheating. And good idea, I'll have to use that.

    @Redux don't think we have any. He didn't use anything I didn't already have on the floor. The thing is the end I was trying to stop from turning is only maybe 3mm thick (and round - how is this not in out of context topic yet?) so it was super hard to get a handle on.

    Use a flat head screwdriver to pry up the edge of the round head to create enough friction to prevent the bolt from turning.

    @huKSer tried it - and I have a very thin flathead. I couldn't get anything to fit underneath.

    I'm tired of watching Husker re-runs. Someone make the next 4 months go away.

    Okay but we're all going to have to hold hands in a big circle and concentrate and a few of us may levitate in the process.

    @RedDenver I can't burp on command very well at all but then again I've never really seen the purpose in trying to burp when I don't need to. There's no problem when it's required though.

    I used to be able to. Like @ZRod said, just swallow air and belch it out.  I think that's a question of ab strength, because I just tried it for the first time in 20 years and I couldn't do it.

    @knapplc @huskered17 @commando

    Some people who've studied him based on interviews and what he does for a living think he might be on the autism spectrum which they claim explains why he does/is able to do what he does. Also:

    Neuroscientists recently studied Honnold’s brain. They put him in a large machine and then quickly showed him a series of terrifying and off-putting images — toilets overflowing with faeces, mangled and bloody faces, a climber dangling over the void — the sort of stuff that would send most people shivering, gagging, or both.

    It didn’t register with Honnold. They hadn’t seen anything like it. His amygdala, the part of the brain that reacts to fear, lay dormant.

    “Maybe his amygdala is not firing — he’s having no internal reactions to these stimuli,” said neuroscientist Dr. Jane Joseph. “But it could be the case that he has such a well-honed regulatory system that he can say, ‘OK, I’m feeling all this stuff, my amygdala is going off,’ but his frontal cortex is just so powerful that it can calm him down.”

    Medically, it would seem, Honnold does not experience fear. At least not in the way that you or I would. Or, if he does experience it, he requires a lot more to set it off than anyone this team of neuroscientists at least has ever studied.

    What Honnold does have in spades, from a neurological perspective, is a tendency to seek out sensations, a drive nearly double that of your average brain based on their study. This pushes him, of course, but it also hints at something darker, something addictive.
