    This American Life - Secret Recordings of Goldman Sachs.

    I really enjoyed The Giant Pool of Money episode. Listened to that a few times over the past few years.

    Anthony Bourdain Parts Uknown

    Yeah, I have every episode of No Reservations & Parts Unknown on my comp. One of my favorite episodes was about a restaurant in Italy called El Bulli (it has since closed down). You should watch that episode just because of how amazing the food was. No Reservations, Season 7, episode 12...

    Investment - How should I do this?

    Looks like I was wrong when I said it earlier. My company does 50% match up to 3% of your total, so I invest 6% every week getting me 9% into 401k.

    I really liked the episode, but expected some type of reference to Ebola outside of it just being in the title. Damn gluten!

    Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.

    No. The three top guilds are doing a friendly rotation of the warders. You get to kill them once every 3 weeks. Unless one of the rotation doesn't kill them on the first night, then it becomes a FFA. Just remember, you only get to kill 3. GOTTA leave 1 up.

    The Beer Thread

    I haven't, because Pennsylvania is archaic in their liquor laws. Have any of you tried Ayinger's Oktoberfest? It's so good. $60 for a 20 bottle case, but so good. Oh, each bottle is 16 oz instead of 12.

    This American Life - Secret Recordings of Goldman Sachs.

    Did you guys hear about this? A friend of mine turned me on to it. He explained it as "It's kind of like learning that the sky is really purple, not blue". Supposedly a really good listen. I plan on listening to it some time this week. The Secret Recordings of Carmen Segarra | This...

    Snowblowers

    I personally don't like the finish I get with a snow blower. It always leaves a little bit of debris on the ground, and after the wheels go through, it pushes it down so you can't shovel it up afterwards. I like to shovel because I take it down to the pavement. My property looks like it...

    Snowblowers

    My dad has a very high end snow blower. It's a Honda, and cost him probably $2200, but this was upwards of 20 years ago. It has teeth on the propeller, to help break through ice. It's come in handy many times. One night we had a heavy snow fall, then it rained on top of it, giving you a 2"...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There is still plenty that I don't like about it. That said, it's still more entertaining (to me) than some of the other Marvel movies. Hulk, Thor 1, & Captain America 1 in particular. Wow... 7 months to the day until Age of Ultron. I don't want to wait that long!

    Gotham

    I hope there is some more of them to show off later on in the season. Going the "Dawn of Superman" fast lane like they are, is bound to fail. It'll work just due to how many DC fans there are, but it won't pull in the mass "non comic" appeal that Marvel has done.

    They were talking about The Joker, though.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think my issue with Cap 1 was the Red Skull, and how he was portrayed. I also REALLY didn't like the whole racing the car scene at the end of the movie. Overall, the story was pretty slow, but that's understood being the origin story and all. They just did such a much better job on #2, that...

    Smartphones

    I don't think that's possible. The make the iPhones so that you can't get to the battery or SIM card. It's all locked within their case. When you buy the phone, it's pre-installed so that you never get a chance to fuck with it.

    I saw GotG again last night at the theater because my dad wanted to go, so I appeased him and went with. It definitely wasn't as good my 2nd viewing in an empty theater. There were a total of 4 people sitting in there, so there wasn't any of the louder laughter that opening night had for me...

    I pre-ordered a Note 4 the other day. I'm really looking forward to it coming in. My neighbor has a Note 3, and playing with it a little bit, it's vastly better than my "old" Galaxy S3. Had a question about SIM cards though. Will the phone come with a new one, or will I need to get that on...

    Wouldn't it be fun if they change the history enough that Oracle is a girl that Bruce played with while even younger? I hope they don't do that.

    Trailer 2 is up now. EDIT: I don't think this is an official trailer. It just looked like trailer 1 in a different order and a lot shorter.

    Maybe he breaks up with Barbara, gets with Sarah, then later reconnects with Barbara?

    Gotham

    A few times in last night's episode, they called her Selena", but she would quickly correct them saying "Cat". So yeah, your guess is correct. Oh, and the episode title (as per Wiki) was Selena Kyle.

    Tracy Morgan vs Wal Mart truck

    I understand that it's typical legal wrangling, but it changes the point of this thread. You're focusing on seat belts. I realize the court will do the same after lawyers are involved, but you guys are as well. That's what I was pointing out.

    Tracy Morgan vs Wal Mart truck

    You guys are getting off the subject. They are in this condition only because the Walmart semi stuck their stopped limo while going around 65 mph. Seat belts would NOT have helped anyone. The limo was completely destroyed by the semi. You're acting like the media by focusing on all the...

    I just got done watching HxH #35. The 1st solid hit against Hisoka was fucking awesome. Gon's the shit. I'm not reading spoilers... I just really liked that episode. I smiled a lot when he flipped the arena tile thing.

    Keep in mind that he also mentioned storm and burn as solo decks, but melira pod & deliver as decks when the people he's playing against aren't dicks.

    Smartphones

    It bends much easier around the volume button than directly in the middle. And it's fairly easy to do. It's just due to Apple trying to limit the weight of the 6+ which results in a thinner case. And where the volume buttons are, a lesser chassis.

    And in 99% of taxies. Reasoning? The belts are fucking disgusting from everyone else touching them.

    Tracy Morgan vs Wal Mart truck

    I wear mine. Just saying, Walmart's in for a world of trouble. More so than before, I think. Maybe these comics will become more aggressive at suing them now. Hell, I don't know how much they're suing them as it already stands.
