    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I retract my previous complaint. Got an email today that I was being refunded $5 on each of the two sets I ordered (one for me, one for my sister). My love affair with Amazon is back on. I did not contact them to complain, they just did it.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    My dog being a ranch dog, the toilet is like the 7th grossest thing he drinks out of on a regular basis and of course he eats cow shit daily. I don't make out with him.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I used to have one of those but the dog always ignored it for the fresher water in the toilet. Since the toilet is easier to refill and has to be cleaned anyway, I let him go with his preference and gave the waterer to my Mom for her cats.

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    If you are doing fine then why all the whining about usage "crippling" profits? And it's 26 quarters of losses in TV subscribers, not losing money. [/url]

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    Just because you aren't making money doesn't mean that Comcast isn't. Comcast Profits Up Sharply, Along With TV Subscribers - New York Times $1.9B in profit in Q4 of 2013. What do they do with it? Stock buybacks and increase dividends to stockholders (and now trying to buy TWC)...

    This is a grill recipe for leg of lamb but I would bet that it would also work with a shoulder roast. Silence of the Leg O' Lamb Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network!

    You don't have to be a member to eat at Costco. They really are the best place you can eat for under $5 and get a shit load of mediocre food.

    Well yeah, that's what I'm saying. They sell it to you at 1mBit but you don't really get that consistently, hence the shitty experience.

    Have you tried it? What is theoretically possible and what is reality are very different. I have a lot of experience with 1 MBit and more recently 3 MBit internet.

    True Detective

    I'm going to have to start doing this. It's sort of a tradition for me going back to Deadwood that when I'm watching a great drama on Sunday night the experience is enhanced by having some wine or bourbon while I watch it. This works for Mad Men, Game of Thrones, even Homeland, but this show...

    I don't think you realize how bad 1Mbit is now. It's not that you won't be able to stream HD, you will be pausing for loading multiple times in a 3 minute low-res youtube video. Forget Netflix at 1Mbit. It's too painful to be worth using. You need to have at least 3 Mbit to have a remotely...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Dude takes a gigantic conclusion that is not in evidence and cherry picks a few things that may or may not be consistent with that conclusion. It's interesting to think about, but my mind remains unblown.

    It's interesting that someone has speculated every shitty soap opera plot twist imaginable. I hope none of them are what's going to happen. The show has been so well written so far, I can't really imagine that they will end it like that.

    If it wasn't dry then leaving it longer will make it more tender. It will eventually just fall apart on it's own.

    Nice of them to lower the price the day after they shipped the pre-orders :P. I still just paid $34.99 but that is kind of cheesy of them to punish you for pre-ordering.

    Yeah, you're not supposed to cook a pot roast medium rare and you better have some strong teeth if you do. Don't worry about the internal temp, you're good as long as it doesn't dry out.

    It's also sort of like stealing the Mona Lisa. It's not like you can get the thing and put it on Ebay the next day. Obviously there are few enough of them that everyone is going to know the sword and where it came from so you can't really just walk around with it and not expect to get caught...

    Yeah, because when the media and the league and possibly the cops are getting ready to blow the shit out of the Dolphins, there's no motivation to say "nothing to see here" about your own team.

    I have no doubt that the lawyers can get into this and make some people write checks over it. I just don't like Incognito being character assassinated in the media as some horrible person.

    Stupid assholes that are ruining it for the rest of us. We need to find that dude and kick him in the nuts. It would be for his own good because there's no way he's going to do that every year and now if he says with the chick she's going to be disappointed every year after that.

    Don't be a retard and pretend that NFL locker rooms are remotely similar to a business environment. The fact that they make them put on suits to do interviews after the game doesn't mean that it's a professional environment.

    If you are quoting that as something shocking then I am sure you haven't spent much time in locker rooms. I'm not saying Incognito isn't a dick. I'm saying that dicks like that are normal on a football team. I wasn't even on the football team but I used to lift weights with those guys all...

    Everything I read about this confirms my initial impression. Martin was a huge pussy that should have been in the drama club and not the football team. He was cursed with a huge athletic body but not the mindset to go with it. Maybe Incognito and his buddies should have realized that, but I...

    I'm not sure they will be that unhappy. Comcast has plenty of people who dislike them, but I don't think they are nearly as universally hated by their customers as TWC.
