I have heard you can buy it in 1 gallon quantities at beverage distributors but I can't personally verify that.

I heard an interview with Micheal Moore a while back where he said that he realized while making "Bowling for Columbine" that US violence would probably not be solved by gun control. According to him, Americans kill more people with knives, clubs, etc. than our European counterparts even though...

It's not "free". It's part of your wages.

^^

That makes more sense to me. And yes the breakers are just switches running to different parts of the house so you can short/overload something in one part of the house without turning off the power to everything. I wouldn't think that there would be much resistance in the breaker that would...

I hate this argument. There are tens of millions of gun owners in the US and the vast majority of them don't do violence with them. I own a bunch of guns and never used any of them for violence (against humans at least) and never intend to. Why did I spend my hard earned money on these things...

Just checked my breakers and the outlets I would use are on the same phase, but not on the same circuit. I don't think it's that unusual to have outlets on different circuits in your house. You don't really want to blow a breaker because you're trying to cook a waffle and make coffee and...

Do they have to be on the same circuit? I've heard it's faster if they're on the same phase but having to be on the same breaker makes them kind of useless.

Anyone tried this? http://www.amazon.com/ZyXEL-Powerlin...bxgy_pc_text_z I have a cat 5 cable draped through my living room atm to my HTPC/Xbox/etc. Would this thing be a viable replacement for it? Do they suck if your wiring is old? This seems like it would be a great option for me but...

Banning assault rifles would be pointless because like <1% of murders are done with assault rifles. Is the goal to prevent killing or ban things that sound scary? If you really want to reduce the US murder rate you would be legalizing drugs and trying to stamp out poverty.

If you are young and healthy and paying for your own insurance then go for a big ass deductible. As much as you can afford without it being a financial disaster for you. I currently have a $3000 deductible and it costs me around $279 a month. When I worked in a corporation my insurance was...

If the god damn Pats go to the SB again I think we will have to banish Belichek and Brady for the good of the league. At least the Steelers had the good taste to go in the shitter this year.

Have not tried it myself. There have been some horror stories with people renting out their places though: The Moment Of Truth For Airbnb As User's Home Is Utterly Trashed Another Airbnb Victim Tells His Story: "There Were Meth Pipes Everywhere" That said, I think that is a pretty rare...

Are you really into theme parks? If you want to go to a half dozen theme parks then LA is the place to be, but other than Disneyland and maybe Sea World I wouldn't bother with the rest of them IMO. I had some friends that tried to do all the parks in LA in a week and the woman was getting...

It's 100% true that one person deciding not to have a kid will not have any measurable impact on the environment on a global scale. It's not about one person, it's about a global trend. That's not what I said. I do care about the environment because we have to live here, just not for the sake...

I worked as an electronics engineer designing circuit boards for the Department of Energy for 10 years before moving back to Montana to take over my family cattle ranch (where I grew up). Upside to the engineer gig was that I love building things and it was an 8-5 job that paid well and gave...

This is true in a way, but it's simplistic. It sort of depends on your situation in life. Generally the more educated someone is, the less kids they have. Those of us that are in our 30s and have no kids because we were busy going to college and having a career are not causing the global...

Mutual funds and IRAs are not exclusive. You would start an IRA, and then the funds in it will be put into a mutual fund or a variety of mutual funds. Roth vs. Traditional IRA just means whether you pay taxes when you put the money in or when you take it out.

Hey guys I put 2 slices of cheese on my hamburger. I call it a BrutulTM burger and now you have to too.

I know people that have told me they had kids because they wanted someone to take care of them in their old age. What would you say is an unselfish reason for having a kid?

Not to mention the weight factor. I haven't tried it, but I can't really imagine reading for a long time on a full sized ipad. The kindle weighs almost nothing and you can easily hold it in one hand.

If they brought back Doakes I would personally fly to LA and take a shit in their mailbox.

Why do they call it Texas toast? It's just toast.

It's pissing me off that these image hosting places strip the EXIF data.

I think that you could make a pretty good case that the decision to have a child is selfish, or at least most people are not doing it to make the world a better place, but if you want to be a good parent, that's where the selfishness has to end. If you're putting an educated, healthy...

That's funny, so the Steelers could have had 3 probably top 10 QBs of all time. Of course San Fran passed on Northern California boy and Cal QB Aaron Rodgers who wanted nothing more than to be a 49er to draft the great Alex Smith. WTG Mike Nolan.

It still came out pretty sharp. I like how you can see that his/her shoelace is untied in the second pic.

As a 49er fan I'm nervous. The last thing you want to do is play Belichek and Brady at home late in the season in a game you need to win. It's not a must win for SF but it will make the Seattle game the following week a must win if they lose. I think as long as the Smith bros can keep...

I like it. What kind of camera do you have? Did you use a tripod? I hope this thread keeps going.

Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people that have kids and continue to live selfishly. I really believe though, that if you want to get satisfaction out of life, the best way to do it is to put other people before you in life and dedicate yourself to something other than your own...

I'd say you didn't read very carefully then.

Adopting a kid is great, and clearly a noble thing to do. I don't know what "striving every day to be a good person" means exactly, but it sounds like something you would say you're doing when you're not doing anything. I did say that raising your kids is the "easiest" way to live an unselfish...

I don't have kids, but I would like to. I don't think people that don't want kids are shitty people necessarily, but I think to be a decent human being you have to do something that is unselfish with your life and I don't mean volunteering at a soup kitchen for 1 night every 3 years. If you go...

He has Parkinson's, a disease that makes you shake uncontrollably. Think about it.

I should say that I don't actually use a Roku, I have a HTPC but I got one for my sister for Christmas last year and she loves it and it seems pretty nice when I have used it at her place.

Should have used quote. I was referring to the guy complaining about it being slow interfacing with the external HD. At that price point the hardware has to be pretty bare bones and mostly geared toward displaying HD video.

Maybe they think that they can fix it and turn it around for a quick profit? Or maybe they're idiots and didn't notice the part where it is broken.

The season is pretty well shot, might as well give Caldwell a few games so you can decide whether to go looking for an OC in the off season. If he sucks you're just improving your draft for next year.

You can't expect a full blown HTPC for $100.
