I have to agree with the consensus on that gunfight being one of the worst things that's been on Breaking Bad. They also did the "guns have infinite ammo" thing to an extreme. I counted and Hank fired 9 times on just one of the 7 times he popped up from behind the blazer. Those full autos...
I had a Bison rib eye at Ted Turner's restaurant in Bozeman, MT about a year ago and it was fucking fantastic. I couldn't tell that it wasn't beef though, other than the fact that it cost an extra $10. That is the only one I have eaten though, so I can't really speak generally about them, but...
I can't bring myself to give a shit about Cowboys/Giants. The Packers/49ers game was fucking great though. Packers looked good. They had to hate going into candlestick for their first game after getting embarrassed there in the playoffs.
Loved the hell out of Kaep's 400 yard passing game...
I think the Alcatraz tour is cool even though I've done it like 7 times with various friends and relatives. Most of the locals hate it because they have to go every time their friends and family visit. If you want to go you need to make reservations online a few days in advance though. They...
This stuff is pretty cheap. I don't know if I'd call it great, but it does have the distinction of being mentioned in a couple episodes of Mad Men and it was supposedly drunk by Charles Bukowski. It has high rye content similar to Bulleit so it would be considered a "full bodied" bourbon. If...
I wouldn't buy the fancy locks personally. Nobody picks locks to burgle houses when it's easier to just kick the door in or break a window. Even if they do use bump keys (which are harder to use than you think BTW, I have a set and have never been able to get them to work) anyone that will go...
Nobody expects the THX theater experience from a tablet or a phone, but it's nice if if you want to show somebody or a group of people a youtube video or something the speakers are at least loud enough that they can hear them and understand what people are saying and a lot of tablets/phones and...
Does that really seem that enjoyable? I haven't tried it but it seems to me that if you get to that point, you would be just better off letting her jerk herself off while you smother yourself with a grocery bag to get the same effect.
Never tried one, but it would definitely be good for a few "WTF is that thing?" reactions from guests.
FWIW, the damn AirDyne came but the RPM sensor was defective. Waiting for a replacement now.
FWIW, I know this thread is about Marxism now, but the Freakonomics podcast re-aired a pretty good episode about suicide this week:
Freakonomics Radio Podcast: "The Suicide Paradox"
Anyone who is contemplating opening an eating/drinking establishment should read "Kitchen Confidential" by Anthony Bourdain IMO. I know it's pretty dated now, but it's a blast to read and funny as hell and will give you a lot to think about.
In particular, check outthis chapter.
I don't know if he was even at the game, but since they made him #1 in the season countdown, I was thinking that having him get struck by lightning right before the opening kickoff would be a pretty amazing way to start the season.
Why are you so worried about bleeding edge processor clock rates? My phone is 2 generations old (galaxy nexus) and I have no yearning for more processor power for what I do with it. If there's a tradeoff between processor power and battery life I would go with battery life every time.
I think that anyone that thinks a watch is useless hasn't worn one recently. When you're wearing a watch you *always* know what time it is because it just takes a quick glance down to see it. By comparison, getting a phone out of your hip pocket is a pretty big deal, especially if you're...
Depending on how it was built a wood bumper could definitely be stronger than the plastic over styrofoam bumpers that are routinely used on modern cars. In fact now that you mention it, I remember a small scandal when I was a kid when the winner of a local demolition derby was accused of...
I like how you are all shocked that someone would be allowed to drive a car without airbags in the US and then post a link of how it would also not be illegal in the UK. I'm sure if a cop had the urge to cite you for a homemade wooden bumper they probably could. People don't drive shitty cars...
BTW, the 9ers would have won both Rams games if it wasn't for Akers missing very makeable field goals. If the new guy can make field goals over 35 yards that will make a pretty significant difference.
Agreed. The mountain barely even speaks. As long as he is huge and can be taught to sword fight somewhat convincingly he will be better than the last dude.
There has to be like 10,000 hookers in Vegas, and none of them use their real name when they work. It's a needle in a haystack.
Man, I wish I had something to sell you. 6K in trade is really 3k if you're lucky, since every dealer I have ever been to is willing to drop 3-5K off the price of a...
We'll have to see if both teams can stay as good as they were last year. But as of now, fuck the seahawks. Seriously. I don't care if Marshawn Lynch was available in the 8th round of my fantasy draft, I wouldn't pick him up. I can't be happy for anything good happening with a seahawk.
Yeah. If you have to get rid of it for some reason, at least don't go with a trade-in. They will just give you half what you paid for it in trade and then tack half of that on to the price of your new car.
After all this you're going to take the car to a dealership and get screwed again? Just drive the fucking thing. It's not like they're going to steal it, they have to know that they will be the first place anyone will go if you report it stolen.
Or you could just go to best buy and rob them at gun point.
Gazelle.com will give you $170 for a mint condition iPad 2 with 16 GB and Wifi only. Obviously less than you would get on Craigslist/Ebay but less hassle. They will even mail you a post paid box to send it in.
They are awesome. I have been known to get them instead of French Fries when I want to double the calories in my meal. I also enjoy the flame thrower burger and the mushroom and swiss.
BTW, if you haven't tried them, the chicken strips at Arby's are the best. Maybe it's just mine because...
I have been listening to Dr. Drew's podcast lately and I don't know if he knows what he's talking about but he claims that opiates are no good for chronic pain. He says patients tell him that their pain is a 10 out of 10. Then they get off the opiates, have a couple weeks of really shitty...
Iran is bluffing BTW. They couldn't beat Israel in a straight up war, let alone with the US backing them, and if they did start to get the upper hand, Israel would probably just nuke them. Obama might be saber rattling, but Iran definitely is.
Well son of a bitch. I was okay with a Canadian having the record since he probably grew up hunting wolves with his grandfather in the Yukon like the guy from Enemy at the Gates, but having some tea drinking English pansy with the record is just not right.
