Mike Rowe is a national treasure. Sad to think that someone even moderately vocal about fairly reasonable conservative beliefs would be talked down at like that. I'm far more conservative than he lets on to be, I'd love to hear what the staff thinks of me!
He also does a ton of good and helps a lot of people out. And he makes a hell of a lot of sense. He's had a few very weak accusations thrown at him because he believes in hard work, personal responsibility, being skeptical about consensus in science, etc but none of the accusations I've seen really hold any water when you glance at the context.
The most problematic thing I can think of that he said was talking on the issue of fatherless homes and children: which is all backed up by astoundingly strong statistics.
Everything else was people making shit up and tacking it to him with absolutely no basis.
If I had to guess it's his views on global warming that is being held against him but his stance is literally: science isn't always right the first time, science is where it is today because people are skeptical. Nothing else. Not really offensive.
Seemed like a real strong response even if you generally don't see eye to eye with him... he's fairly moderate as far as second ammendment supporting, skeptical, blue collar types go. And does a ton of good through charity.
god so many bad ways to cook a fucking hot dog are recommended in this video. Direct heat. If you can't expose it to an open fucking flame, put a sliver of butter in a pan and fry them until they are done to your taste. Jesus people. Boiling a goddamn hot dog... I thought you folks lived in America!
@oddballs: are you saying pineapple will allow me to eat more bbq? Because if so you may have changed my life just in time for bbq season to start.

I know people like to talk about how Dan is just ludicrously lucky in this game but th is time he actually did play pretty well. Normally he's just a guber but this time he played aggressively but effectively. If not for the glitch it would have gone very well.
@pebbleinspace: there are a lot of theories out there, and you only covered one effective method, namely the western/US method.
Stripes are actually quite effective, especially if done right. Some asian nations just use three-ish slashes with no other paint on the face and it works plenty effective because it still disrupts the shape of the face. Yours sounds more like the US theory which also works but it isn't the only way.
Hell the Air Force uses tiger stripe camo, of a sort.
It is very real and I've seen it work better than the US method in certain environments. Not sure who told you it was a fabrication.
