    You can make an argument for institutional bias based on race and/or socioeconomic status but by no means are we putting people in prison based on race. We are not perfect, but we are really fucking far from rounding up certain races and throwing them in camps. Further than we have been at any...

    Some people are not suited to northern living due to the fact that they are huge pussies. We don't need them and we are happy to let California have them.

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    If the guy is going to be a star in the NFL then teams will want him regardless of any drama that might come with him. This kid is projected as a 4th or 5th rounder though, which doesn't tip the scales as much as a guy like Big Ben or Ray Lewis.

    The local telephone co-op has set up LTE towers in some of the rural areas around here in lieu of providing wired broadband. It seems like a pretty decent option but they told me that it wouldn't be feasible in my area because there are too many hills.

    Las Vegas

    One of the things I like about craps is getting to watch the high rollers, especially since a lot of them are complete dumbasses making hundred dollar bets on the hard ways and shit. I find it fun to watch them throwing around thousands of dollars while I stand there conservatively playing my...

    Customers should get organized and flood their customer service with complaints about it. You can always threaten to switch to DSL even if you are not actually willing to do that.

    Does anyplace in Vegas still have $5 craps tables? I love to play craps but I get in over my head on a $10 minimum table.

    Even if you could get Netflix to stream decently, it would kill your data cap for the month in one night of watching TV. My video streaming is pretty much limited to 240p youtube videos and not too many of them.

    I think you should do your own packing. That is your only chance to throw away all the worthless shit in your house that has accumulated over the years.

    Kind of like "fun size" candy bars. What's so fun about my snickers bar only being an inch and a half long?

    Weather

    It's been a wacky winter here. We've had alternating weeks where one week it barely breaks zero degrees the whole week, and then weeks like this one where it's pushing 50 above. It's been either unseasonably warm or brutally cold with not much in between.

    If you can get LTE and it has a decent data cap then it's a no-brainer. You don't want satellite unless you have no other option. I say this as someone who has been on satellite for the last 5 years. Latency is near 1 second and will never get better unless they reduce the time it takes radio...

    If it makes you feel any better, I am paying $79.99 for 3/.128 and I have a 17GB download cap on a 30 day rolling window. If I go over the cap, they throttle me to .128/.128 until my cap number gets to 70% which inexplicably always takes 3 weeks. The main upside to it is that I can make...

    Even though there is no reasonable use for that much bandwidth, I like that they just say "we can make it this fast so we're making it this fast". Nice change from the Comcasts of the world that would like to just increase your speed by 10 mbps every few years when they feel like bumping the...

    I was at a baby shower once (as in, kid isn't born yet) and the kid's uncle got them this $600 electric car that the kid can drive around the yard. Great job man, get a gift that takes up a shitload of room and the kid won't be able to use for 4 years. If someone got me something like that for...

    This isn't all wrong, but the difference is that girls can't just casually fuck without the feelings setting in hard and fast, and the ones that can are usually broken in some way or another.

    It's going to be weird if he doesn't get drafted or gets cut in training camp or something. I would think teams would avoid drafting him just because they don't want the scrutiny or the media circus.

    I forgot to mention that the double-tap to turn on is so great that after one day I don't want to ever have a phone without it. That is good because the buttons on the back of the phone are retarded, especially since they didn't even make them tactile enough that you can tell which one you're...

    So I finally got my G2 activated and set up today. It's a solid upgrade in every way to my Galaxy Nexus. The screen looks so much better when you hold them side by side that it's really striking. I haven't played with the camera much but I took one low light shot and one macro shot that made...

    Watering grass in your yard is the absolute most useless waste of water on the planet. If you live in Seattle or something then sure, have a lawn but if you're in a desert where water is scarce then using it on your lawn is just a ridiculous thing to do.

    What's the problem? You just want to return the phone for a warranty replacement and you don't want them to know you fucked with the OS? Couldn't you just smash the screen and say that was why you were returning it?

    I had a situation when I lived in Phoenix where I pulled out of a taco bell drive-thru and stopped at a red light.
