    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Holy shit I just noticed that it's $160. It looks neat but those are some expensive herbs.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I may have said it before but the $5 hot and ready at Little Caesar's is a miracle of modern technology. It's not "good pizza" by any reasonable definition, but the fact that you can get a half decent dinner for 2 with no waiting for $5 is unmatched anywhere else in the fast food universe...

    That seems strange to me. At least if you send an email there should be a server log somewhere recording it. There's no evidence at all that you sent a fax is there?

    What did the pizzas have to do with a well bored perpendicularly into water-bearing strata lying at an angle, so that natural pressure produces a constant supply of water with little or no pumping?

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Let us know how it works. I tried a potted herb garden once and I wound up paying $20 and watering the thing for 2 months and got a total of about $3 worth of basil out of it but I still like the idea.

    Signatures are another thing that needs to just go away in this day and age. Luckily most of the places I deal with that require signatures are okay with me scanning and emailing them.

    I should say that Kaitlyn Denver is a really great actor for how young she is. I bet she is going to be the next Jennifer Lawrence.

    I think Boyd is still planning on running away with Ava and whatever he says/does with Loretta is going to be over once he leaves but he will do what he can to make her a bigger pain in the ass to Avery Malcom before he goes. It's kind of funny that Raylan had the perfect trap set for Boyd...

    Fuck fax machines. Whenever anyone asks me to fax them something I'm like "Well, this isn't 1992 so no, I won't fax you anything. I won't be sending you anything by telegram or pony express either." Having an IT guy insist on getting something faxed to them is terrifying.

    Survivor

    The 2 person elevator thing was not well thought out. The part that was supposed to make it hard didn't work because when it got uneven the side ropes just caught the thing and it didn't fall off and then when they let it go it becomes a skull crushing machine. I was very impressed with Kelly...

    Virtual Reality

    Everybody said that the HTC system that was at mobile world congress didn't make anyone sick the way that the Oculus Rift does, I think because of better latency and higher resolution. I guess at this point it doesn't really matter if Oculus Rift fails, the inventor got his payday already and...

    They had better shit or get off the pot with that thing. A bunch of bigger companies are building competition for it and it's starting to look like their versions might be better and come out first.

    Dan Carlin - Hardcore History Podcast & Common Sense Podcast

    I'll second that. I liked the Rome series and the current WW1 series but both went a little more in depth than I needed to go personally and I was sort of getting tired of them by the end. Ghosts of the Ostfront though had my full attention start to finish.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Same here, but regardless, dressing up as a magical creature and having a fake fight with someone else who is also dressed up as a magical creature is an order of magnitude more nerdy than playing a video game.

    Smokers / Grills

    I don't have that particular one, but I will say that if you are cooking overnight it's pretty damn awesome to just set an alarm every couple hours, roll over and look at your laptop to see that all is well in the smoker, and go back to sleep.

    Even just using the sonicare toothbrush is pretty helpful. At least my dentist stopped nagging me about flossing when I started using the sonicare even though I still didn't floss. I think the cavity thing has a lot to do with genetics as well. I have had I think 2 or 3 cavities in my 38...

    One thing you have to say for Tomsula. If he is successful no one can really accuse him of just riding Harbaugh's coattails after this off season.

    They're not really getting rid of IE, just changing the name to something else that they're calling "project spartan". They're calling it an all new browser but I'm betting that it's just repackaged IE and they are hoping to get away from the stigma IE had back when it really sucked.

    Better Call Saul

    They showed his Saul commercials in the flash-forward at the beginning of the first episode. I can't believe that there are only 3 episodes left. 10 episodes isn't long enough for a season.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It was a quote from an actor on the show about an event that hasn't happened, albeit a vague one. To me that's a spoiler. Like I said though, it's just a request, I don't make the rules.

    I still love kiddie candy (laffy taffy, nerd ropes, trolli sour worms, sweet tarts, etc). I don't eat it regularly, and I feel slightly embarrassed buying it, but I have to have some once in a while. Usually when I'm on a road trip.

    Dan Carlin - Hardcore History Podcast & Common Sense Podcast

    That's always the complaint with Carlin. He is really picky about quality especially with the history show which is part of why it's so good but it gets pretty exasperating waiting for it sometimes.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Just a suggestion, but I would prefer that spoiler tags be used when discussing rumors like that. I really don't want to hear shit like that. I know that this is the spoiler thread, but up to now it's just been book spoilers.

    I don't think there's any other "free" phone that will be really much of an upgrade from the Moto X unless she is really hung up on a certain aspect like the camera.

    It could happen. Daniel Jeremiah gave me some hope on his podcast the other day though. He said that 49ers fans shouldn't be freaking out about losing these veterans because last year's draft was so good and most of these guys' replacements are already on the roster. That is not the consensus...

    Wrath of the Khans is like the best podcast series ever made. Common Sense is not like any other political show I have ever heard. Dan is the most clear headed rational guy you will come across and it's never the usual "R's are great, D's hate America!" or vice versa that you get in most...

    I would actually love to see that. The 49ers are a complete question mark next year but it would be a huge surprise if they were in the mix for the SB so I would love to see Luck get a ring and Gore fucking deserves one so I will be rooting for Indy in any game where they're not playing the...

    I'm not even sure Willis doesn't have a limp already. He said in his farewell speech that he's always had trouble with his feet and they just can't do it anymore. He said that he knew he would end up drawing a salary to sit on the bench again just like he did last year and he was concerned...

    We shouldn't get carried away with the whole "plug and play running back" scenario. The strategy where you draft a guy high, use him for a few years and then draft another guy high and let the other one go before his second contract is a real strategy, but it doesn't apply to top 5 guys. You...
