    Breaking Bad

    It's the former. The whole initial thing is cheesy and would never happen in the real world. That said, the writing on this show is great generally, so I can overlook a little cheese once in a while.

    Getting clever with investing is rarely a good idea.

    The Wolverine

    NFL players work out that much AND take steroids and most of them don't look like that. I realize that their goals are a bit different than a body builder, but I don't think a 44 year old gets that body just from working out.

    Yeah I don't have a problem with it, I just think it's interesting.

    Haven't seen this movie or read the thread, but did it come up that action stars in hollywood are all on steroids now? This is a 44 year old dude:

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Herding breeds aren't the best pets for people who live in cities, but they are my favorite dog. Getting a smart border collie or australian shepherd with a talented trainer and you can't believe what they can do.

    This thread is already derailed. Spanish train derails, kills 78

    Nonsense. Google has cars that can drive safely on streets and highways without a driver with traffic lights, thousands of other drivers, dogs and deer and pedestrians etc. Trains are infinitely less complicated than that. The problem is that railroads are old ass companies with entrenched...

    This thread is already derailed. Spanish train derails, kills 78

    Trains only make sense in densely populated areas like Japan and parts of Europe. Each train needs to carry literally thousands of people a day to come close to breaking even. BART, the light rail system in the San Francisco Bay area is a great example. It's one of the best light rail systems...

    The NSA watches you poop.

    Yeah, it's a dog and pony show. Nothing real will come out of it, they just want some photo ops to placate the people who are paying attention enough to be upset about the surveillance.

    How thick are plasmas these days? I have to say I am in love with the fact that my 60" LED is like 3/4" thick.

    If they suddenly discovered that Quinn was a serial killer that would be the perfect expression of how this show has gone full retard.

    So tell me about Utah...

    East of Salt Lake City is awesome gorgeous mountains and/or awesome gorgeous desert rock formations and such. West of Salt Lake is a trackless wasteland similar to the whole state of Nevada. It is most definitely a lot more geographically interesting than Illinois. I remember being pretty...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think she assumed (probably correctly) that Vorenus would kill her if he knew the truth, which would have been the appropriate reaction for a Roman man of the time.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Did I forget something that she did or are you all this angry about her having a baby with another guy when she thought Vorenus had been dead for years?

    The NSA watches you poop.

    The only way to have any real change is to stop voting for Republicans and Democrats. Obama is proof that you are just kidding yourself pretending there are any substantial difference between them. Of course Romney or McCain would have been just as bad if not worse. Until people get past the...

    She is hot. Loved her in Rome. I can't remember who Ellaria Sand is though, is she going to be screwing anybody?

    amanda berry found..more importantly, awesome black man in cleveland.

    There are cases where there is literally zero doubt of guilt. In the case I was a juror on, they had DNA evidence and two confessions. The defense made absolutely no attempt to suggest that he had not done the crime. I think he would have plead guilty if the DA had been willing to just give...

    Congress makes a lot more sense when you stop thinking that they are motivated by ideology or the will of the voters.

    Have you guys that are giving us the facts about 4K and viewing distances actually seen a 4K TV? I hear nerds say this all the time but the HD reporters I have heard from that have actually seen the TVs say it's a very noticeable difference if your TV is over about 55".

    This is why they need a version with an ethernet connector. I already went to the trouble of running cat 5 to my entertainment center because streaming over wifi blows.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    A $35 plug and play device doesn't replace $1000+ worth of computer/NAS/Hard Disks and a $200 boxee box plus a bunch of pirated content? You're right, what a useless piece of shit.

    2013 NFL Season

    It's definitely true that not all running QBs are the same either. A guy that tries to be a hero on busted plays like RG3 or Mike Vick seems much more likely to get hurt than someone who runs smart and knows when to slide or get out of bounds. Size matters as well, Kaepernick has like 20 lbs...

    2013 NFL Season

    I heard Trent Dilfer on the Dave Dameshek Podcast recently pointing out that Colin Kaepernick seems to be very good so far at avoiding contact. If you look at the playoffs last year, he was ranked 7th with 7 total hits even though he played in more games in the post season than anyone except...

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Looks like it's just a streamer so you wouldn't be able to play your own content on it unless you used something like Plex with Roku.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    That's hot. I wonder if they will make a wired version. I have an ethernet hub behind my TV already so I would prefer to use that rather than the WiFi that is on the other end of the house.

    I have to say that I would not have guessed that posting a video of singing happy birthday to a dog could turn into a 10 page thread.

    Dexter

    No shit, and did it ever cross anyone's mind that she wasn't going to go back and save him afterwards? At no point was I remotely concerned that either of them would die. Deb's character is some kind of cartoon this season and it doesn't interest me at all.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Nothing false about it, he is just as much lab as pit bull, and I doubt anyone's going to do any DNA testing on him unless it's an extremely unusual situation. Anyway, the dog is a huge pussy and somewhat elderly so there is very little chance of him being involved in any drama. Changing the...

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    The city of Denver, CO has a pit bull ban. My sister lived there briefly with her half breed pit bull but no one ever gave her a hard time about it. She changed the breed designation on his RFID thingy from pit bull to labrador before she moved down there just to be safe though.
