    Cigars and Cigarettes

    What's a good recommendation for an entry level humidor? And some decent, "beginner" type cigars to stock it with? I doubt I'll ever get super in to cigars, but a lot of my friends are starting to, so I figure having a humidor with a small selection would be the gentlemanly thing to do...

    Mr. Robot

    I still can't see how Elliott is also Tyrell, but I have been way wrong before. I don't really get the complaints about the show. It's a bit much to expect every episode and every scene to be perfect and packed with massive reveals and revelations. Yeah, it can drag from time to time, but...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I don't give a shit about the age of the calf. It's some of the practices that are used on them that's a problem. Granted, some of them have been banned or restricted, but there's a whole list here: Veal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And some conditions are better or worse. Veal...

    Tokyo, Japan

    The friendly Nigerians will be more than happy to supply you. It's just that the penalties are so severe there that's it's not really worth the risk. Although I don't imagine the police make a point of targeting tourists.

    How to lose your business in 22 seconds.

    It's mind bottling to me how multiple people could be involved in putting that together, even if it's just the three people on camera and whoever was behind it, and not one of them said "uh guys, this shit isn't cool."

    9/11/2001 - Where were you when Bush knocked down the towers?

    I was working construction at the time, on the tools. I'd gone to the shop that morning to pick up some materials, and not really talked to anyone. The shitbox plumbing van I was driving had a broken radio, so I didn't hear anything on the radio. I got to the jobsite and as soon as I got out a...

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    I dunno if a #1 pick would only be capable of producing with the best player in the world. And Derek Roy, for some weird reason. Dude has all the tools, but apparently has no hockey IQ or awareness.

    What's been going on in Vancouver is on a totally different dimension from what was happening in most of the US back then. It's bizarro world.

    Spoiler Alert: There's more or less humane ways to raise and slaughter animals. I love's me some steak. But I think veal's pretty terrible, for example.

    NHL 2016-17 Season

    Saw Yakupov strolling around downtown during the Tour of Alberta. Apparently he just rolls around in his PJ's, and walks like he shit his pants. Kind of like how he plays hockey.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Don't think I've ever posted a picture of my present car. Had the stupid bike bra on backwards, whoops. Surprising how much difference the bike made to fuel economy on the highway. Normally I'd get 700km a tank, but it was closer to 625 or so.

    What do you do?

    Heh, in BC new driver's have to have a green N in the back window. I don't spend much time in Vancouver, but last time I did, it seemed like half of the super high end cars had N's on them. Which basically means, rich Chinese kid.

    What do you do?

    Fair enough, like I said, I doubt it'll be iron clad. People are just speculating in that thread, there doesn't appear to be any concrete information there (I spent all of 15 seconds reading as I fucking hate reddit's format/structure). In actual reality, like I said, real estate activity has...

    What do you do?

    Yeah, I'm not sure what Tenks is talking about in terms of evading that tax. I mean, I'm sure it'll happen eventually, but at this point the tax is basically a month old, and sales transactions have absolutely plummeted because of it. It's working as of right now. Prior to that, there was no...

    Health Problems

    Knees will be big too. Going downhill is hard on bad knees, especially once your muscles are tired from the climb up. I tend to get pain on the outside of my knees after a long day of hiking/biking/ski-touring, supposedly because my IT band tightens or has to work overly hard or some shit when...

    Health Problems

    If the hike is literally a mile of elevation gain, that is a serious hike, and you should probably not be attempting it without doing less strenuous ones prior to test out your body and gear. And you'll want proper hiking boots, possibly gaiters if it's going to be wet/muddy/snowing, and likely...

    Apple/Mac Thread

    I've definitely noticed a pretty big decline in how long my S6 lasts on a full charge compared to when it was new. Hard to say exactly how much, but I'd be willing to be it's a 20-30% decline. And I don't use a shit ton of apps or games or anything like that, and said usage has been consistent...

    Get a battery tender. That's a problem with just about any bike these days. Even my 2005 R6 needs to be plugged in to a battery tender if I'm not riding it regularly.

    meh, I've been driving BMW's for 12 years, and have had no significant issues. Couple little things here and there fixed on warranty, otherwise the only out of warranty repair I can recall is a water pump where the impeller cracked. Roughly have of those 12 years I've been driving one that's out...

    First World Problems

    Tried in both fobs. It's not the fobs or batteries in them. Something's wrong with the car. Everything else seems fine. Was gonna go check a fuse list, but I'm not sure I want to even fuck around with fuses in a BMW, it'll probably explode.

    First World Problems

    Keyless entry for my car appears to be broken. The car doesn't detect the fob's proximity, and hitting the buttons on the fob doesn't work either. I now have to take the physical key out of the fob and turn it in the driver side door, which is where the only key hole on the car is. If I lock the...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Popped in to a camping store last week to pick up some new hiking pants. Ended up picking up a couple pairs of Kuhl. Only used one of them over the weekend: Kühl Clothing | LIBERATOR CONVERTIBLE PANT in Men Pants Really liked them. Most of my buds have similar pants, and all spoke very highly...

    Yup. Fans are set at medium-ish, pump on high. I found that even setting the fans to ridiculously loud seemed to hardly make a difference in temps, so I've just left them at a setting that makes them fairly quiet. Not sure if there's an issue with thermal paste, or airflow, but I was fairly...

    "Aged"? She's 36! Kind of gave up watching this, I think. Shut the episode off when Mike was going full bitch mode on Theo. It's just all so fucking predictable. I'll probably watch it at some point, but it'll have to be a conscious effort.

    Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

    You can also set up lists that have different privacy settings. I've got something like 200-300 friends (after doing a bunch of trimming), but only about 50 or so have full access to my profile, pictures, posts etc.

    Is Prime95 still the app to use to test CPU OC stability? Decided to fuck around a bit with my 6600 last night, and it wasn't OCing worth a shit. Bumped the voltage up to 1.25V, and even at just 4.3ghz it was only able to run P95 for an hour before it got an error. It's being cooled by one of...

    Plenty of companies use deferred bonuses for retention. Golden handcuffs and all that.

    I've never understood why people gamble, at least against the house. Do it long enough, and you will lose. Pretty much no matter what. Are people just bad at math?

    Fair enough. Main reason I asked is cause I'd bought Stellaris a month back, and only put in an hour or so before I got distracted, and wasn't sure if I should pick it up again or look elsewhere. Sounds like it's the way to go right now.
