    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    It's not like you can get a proven quarterback for a 2nd round pick. They have half a season to find out if he's a legit option or if they need to go after Cousins in the off season. I am not saying it's the trade of the century, but I don't get the butthurt. I do think that he has a tough...

    Ralphie May, dead at 45.

    Pretty rare to have a heart attack from just being fat at 45. At that age it's usually a genetic defect or cocaine although I'm sure the fatness doesn't help. Never liked his stand up very much. He was always talking about times that he got standing ovations. I hate standing ovations...

    Digital Camera Assistance

    I have an A6300 myself and I love it. All I'm saying is that our guy here isn't trying to take professional pictures, he's looking for something easy to use for his wife. That Nikon will take great pictures, I guarantee it, and it will be cheaper and easier to use than a mirrorless. It's just...

    Digital Camera Assistance

    It's not the same price because you're going to have to at least get the basic telephoto lens which kicks it up to $850 and it still won't' have as much zoom as the P&S plus you're going to have to deal with carrying multiple lenses around in a big ass case of some kind. There's no question if...

    I'm sure that will be a good camera. The thing you really buy a camera for vs. just using your smartphone these days is zoom. If you're taking pictures of anything outdoors that's more than 15 feet away then the phone cameras all suck and the more zoom you can get the better. I had several...

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Well, the only good part of the team was the defensive front 7 and now that Bowman is gone, Carradine, Armstead and Lynch are injured and Eli Harold, Reuben Foster, and Ray-Ray Armstrong are all at least beat up, that is just decimated. Eric Reid was playing linebacker in that game. Not good...

    I agree with this 100%. The frozen White Castle burgers even microwaved are better than the ones at the restaurants.

    I wonder what percentage of people would actually notice the color temperature and stuff that they are talking about on the Pixel 2. I swear the phone review sites make a big deal about some of the dumbest shit and then people read that stuff and act like they actually care about it. I haven't...

    Adam Carolla once said that any restaurant that serves beets should give you a bracelet that says "Don't panic, you had beets" that you could wear until next time you poop.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    Marshawn Lynch has always been a retard. I couldn't believe Deon tried to defend it after game with that "In the hood, you don't have to be related to be family" horseshit. The right response is that Lynch is a retarded manchild who happens to be extremely good at one thing. He doesn't refuse...

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    Explain. I am trying to imagine how a roundabout gets "ruined for everyone" by "one fucker" and for the life of me I can't imagine what you're talking about unless you mean they just plow into somebody.

    The FCC is expected to announce a vote to gut net neutrality rules the day before Thanksgiving.

    I like net neutrality and I would like real competition even better but this title 2 unilateral FCC mandate was never going to last. If you want actual net neutrality then somebody has to get off their ass and get congress to pass some actual policy which I think is what Ajit Pai would say he...

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    I'm interested in efficiency and getting people down the road as quickly as possible. You seem to have a very strong sense of fairness with regard to people going in the right order, but when you're talking about a 1 second delay per car vs. 20 or 30 at a 4-way, I'd look at it pragmatically...

    A cheater is just a piece of pipe that will fit over the end of your wrench to give you more leverage but they can be dangerous. Did you hose it down with WD-40 to start with? That will help to get rust or corrosion to break lose. What size ratchet are you using? If it's a 3/8" drive you...

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    This is a lot of ass talk, but even if you are correct that the Mythbusters got corrupted by "big roundabout" and intentionally threw the experiment for some reason, real world studies have shown that they speed up traffic and reduce accidents. I am very skeptical of your assertion that it is...

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    There was an accident somewhat similar to this in Billings. Turns out one of the downsides of roundabouts is that you can't go through them while passed out drunk as easily as a standard intersection.

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    I'm willing to wager that 90% of the objection to roundabouts is that people aren't used to them and don't feel comfortable going through them. When traffic gets backed up, people blame the roundabout because hey, you gotta blame something right?

    Eventually the self-driving cars will solve this problem in an even more terrifying way but not before all the people who fear change cry even louder than they do about the roundabouts.

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    So you're saying you're too much of a pussy to take your slot? You're usually talking about a fraction of a second delay if someone gets in ahead of you. Whether or not you are correct about "incentivizing aggressive driving" the fact remains that even the pussies are getting through the...

    The only way I like to eat venison is as jerky or mixed 50/50 with pork and made into sausage. For me personally I get a free tag every year and I could fill it without leaving my yard but I don't bother. It just doesn't give me the thrill it does some people and the hassle of gutting an...

    Debate Roundabouts: Efficiency in Action or Vortex of Death

    I guess you're saying that a system where every single vehicle on the road has to completely stop even if no one else is there is better than one where almost no one has to stop ever? I believe the rules with regard to who goes first are exactly the same as in a 4 way stop?

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    If you want to feel better about your pass rush, playing Arizona is a good way to do it. If Palmer's been taking as many hits every week as he did against the 9ers it's a miracle he's still playing.

    NFL 2017-18: Watch athletes destroy their brains

    These 49ers have to be the most entertaining 0-6 team ever. I was definitely not expecting to see Beathard today but he played well. I don't know if he's the QB of the future, but he's no worse than Hoyer. I was really distressed by the 49ers inability to stop the run in the first half, but...

    HIPAA or not, you're not going to get something that lasts a long time AND a large range. Radios take power to transmit very far. I think the tile gizmos will be the best you can do unless you could rig something to charge the battery while the machine is plugged in. Maybe they all do this...

    There's been a lot of talk about Bowman's future on KNBR this week but I don't think anyone thought that they would just release him. I talked shit about Ray-Ray Armstrong a couple weeks ago but he's played great the last couple weeks and with Reuben Foster possibly coming back people were...

    I don't get this either. I think Collinsworth is one of the best at pointing out subtle things on the field that as a fan I would never see and is able to explain things without descending into jargon like some analysts. Joe Buck I have no strong opinions about but I find it strange that...

    The part of the insulin pump that transmits is outside the body and has batteries that have to be charged or changed regularly.
