    Being great at selling dumb phones is like being the top buggy whip maker 5 years after cars came out.

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    Everything about cars is way better. Adam Carolla claims that a stock Toyota Camry can beat a 70s Lamborghini in the quarter mile. The only disappointment to me is that gas mileage hasn't really improved that much in the last couple decades.

    If everybody's using HGH then you have to do other stuff on top of it to get that little extra edge, or that's the way they think about it.

    Lewis and Clark Caverns is a pretty cool place to visit if you want to do a tourist type thing. I went once a long time ago but I would like to go again.

    If you're not there now then you missed the Miles City Bucking Horse Sale, but if you wanted to go for a drive you could check out theCalgary Stampede. There is alsoBrockway Dairy Daysin July if you want to watch a rodeo/wild horse race and get drunk with a bunch of cowboys. You could also...

    I realize that this discussion was from a month ago, but Joboo, if your parents don't have nursing home insurance, tell them to get it. If you are counting on that inheritance and one or both of them wind up in a nursing home at some point they could eat through most or all of that stuff...

    50/50 flour and cornmeal is standard. These guys are talking about making a white cake mix and putting cornmeal in it and calling it cornbread. My aunt does this and it is good, but it's not cornbread. It's sweet, moist, and dessert-like and it can't stand up to chili.

    We already established that most people in this thread think that cornbread is cake with a little cornmeal mixed into it.

    Last Week Tonight with John Oliver

    I didn't like it as much as I thought I would. A little too political and a little too dirty for the sake of being dirty IMO. Hopefully it will catch it's stride.

    Did you check Allegient Airlines? They usually only have a couple flights a week to any given place, but if you can live with their dates they are usually cheap as hell and they don't come up on places like Kayak.

    Smartphones

    It might be an unpopular opinion, but I am done with Samsung. They are the best selling because their advertising budget is 14 BILLION dollars a year. Their phones are plastic and crapped up to the max. My last phone was a Samsung and it was a piece of shit. I would definitely go HTC right...

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    Even local governments are notoriously horrible with money. I have a good friend who works for Montana Department of Transportation and he told me the other day about a project along the highway that the state contracted out. We had a ton of rain in 2011 and there was a small landslide along a...

    And even if you decide you want out, they have no obligation to buy you out. You can try to find some other sucker to buy your share, but there's not much chance that anyone would. You are pretty much totally powerless as a minority owner.

    If you want a good layer of cheese it's hard to get it all melted without burning the bread. This way just ensures the the bread won't be burnt and the cheese will be fully melted. I have tried making grilled cheese with 2 slices of cheese instead of one but to get the cheese well melted you...

    I'm not sure what smart moves Tony has made. He has been aggressive, but totally erratic. He has kept the majority alliance together which is something, but he's been a bull in a china shop doing it and without finding a shitload of HII's he would have been gone a while ago. He's been on the...

    You are on crack. Tony is barely mediocre. Spencer has had terrible luck the whole game. The only reason he is still here is that he has won a shit load of immunities but most of the stuff that has gone against him wasn't his fault. I don't get Tony voting for Trish either but he is the...

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    The only problem with just checking the odometer is that it doesn't account for out of state driving. If you live in Lake Tahoe and commute to Reno every day then it's not really fair for California to tax you for mileage when 90% of your driving is done in Nevada.

    Owning a minority stake in a small business is a lousy investment. You will have no say in how things are run, you may or may not ever get a dividend if the place turns profitable, and the only way you ever get your money back is if they sell the place for more than you bought it for and they...

    This show is awesome, but does it bump anyone else that his ex is like half black but their kids are little albino gingers just like Louie? Seems like an odd choice to chose an ex that looks like she couldn't possibly have given birth to those girls.

    I remember going over to my aunt and uncle's house once and my cousin was sitting in the middle of the dirt driveway wearing nothing but a diaper, holding the dog bowl in his lap and doing the "one for you, one for me" thing sharing kibble with the dog. He was also one of those kids that never...

    Frosty is the opposite of a watered down milkshake, they are considerably thicker than a milk shake. It's basically a cup full of chocolate soft serve. I agree that a regular milkshake is better, but the watered down thing makes no sense to me.
