    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    Fine dining isn't really about the food. It's about being told that you're a special, smart, sophisticated, wealthy person that deserves to be treated like you're better than other people. A lot of people are willing to pay handsomely for that feeling. If the same food could be delivered to...

    Better Call Saul

    Maybe she dies. Honestly it would make perfect sense for her to die causing Jimmy to totally stop giving a fuck and turn into Saul. /fanfic

    Better Call Saul

    That's what I think. He's going to say that he was under so much stress from caring for his crazy brother that he snapped and maybe even Chuck is the one who should be disbarred for being mentally incompetent but I don't really see Jimmy being that mean.

    Cruises: Good Value Vacation or White Trash Rafts?

    I finally watched this and I couldn't agree more. It's like they came to her an hour before the show and said "we need you to write a song and dance number about how awesome sexual deviance is" and she decided to take a 45 minute nap before she started working on it.

    Smartphones

    I wish I could get everyone in my family to stop texting completely. Facebook Messenger is great and works anywhere you can get any sort of internet but for some reason SMS you can only get from a cell tower and since I'm out of cell coverage 90% of the time texts turn into a real clusterfuck...

    The Fast Food Thread

    My buddy and I in high school went to McDonald's for the 2 big macs for $2 thing and got six of them and ate them all in the front seat of my car. Somehow that shredded lettuce carpeted the entire car by the time we were done.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    It was great, but to be fair, he was in a pretty great position where there's a quarterback he didn't want and multiple teams wanted to move up to his position to get him. Obviously he did a great job of selling it to the Bears, but it was a fortuitous situation to fall in your lap on your...

    Writers Strike and Unions

    Health care costs going up is just a fact of life since pre-existing conditions were abolished. The Republicans say they're going to bring them down but I wouldn't bet a penny on that happening.

    Let's talk classics.

    Anything by Scorsese is an instant classic. I have recently been re-watching The Aviator and it is one of my favorite movies. Leo should have won best actor for that over his role in The Revenant. For that matter Gangs of New York was better than the Revenant and even though DDL stole the...

    A "powerful wifi radio" is like .1 watts. That's in comparison with a cell phone which is like .5 watts, a basic walkie talkie which is 5 watts, and a microwave oven which is 1500 watts.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    I don't even know what to wish for as a 49er fan. I'd almost rather be 2-14 again than 8-8 just because we still need to draft a QB unless all that Cousins bullshit actually works out, but if we did go 2-14 again, it's going to be hard to feel like we're making progress.

    NFL 2017 Offseason - Where does Romo go?

    When I first saw that I thought it was from today. It would be pretty hilarious to hack the twitter of one of these top draft prospects and then just go hog wild with it on draft day when everybody is watching....if you're into that kind of thing.

    It seems like everybody around here that gets their hands on a welder immediately starts building shit out of horseshoes. Stuff like this: People must buy it because you see it all over the place. The downside is that a monkey could do the welding so if you did get it to start selling...

    I hate prognosticating based on the edit but you might be right. It also worries me for Aubrey that we're not seeing more of her in confessionals and such. I think on her last season she didn't really come into her own until late in the season but it seems like if she was going to be a major...

    I said last season that Micheala could never win, but it was because she was so emotional. She still came across as likable in her first season. In this one it seems like everyone considers her unbearable to live around, even though they haven't really shown us what she does around camp that's...

    If he's a good enough welder to work on pipelines and is set up to travel on the cheap he's probably going to make bank, especially since it sounds like Keystone XL is going to happen. Guys that have their own welding truck get paid like $175 an hour in the oil industry.

    A lot of potlucks around here people bring pasta in a crock pot. Sometimes it's mush, sometimes it isn't. I imagine there's some skill to it but I think it can be done. I'm not talking about cooking it in the slow cooker, just keeping it warm for an hour or two. Any crock pot experts here?

    When I started college I had like $1500 in startup money (was living in an apartment since the school I went to didn't have dorms). When I got there, the water pump went out in my car like the first day I was there and cost $600 to fix, and the first/last month's rent pretty much ate up the...

    I think it would also be reasonable to expect that if the entire internet was restructured, AT&T might consider changing their data plans. Either way, they haven't even vaguely explained the idea and as Ambiturner said, it's not going to be a realistic idea regardless or someone would be...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    I agree. I think people that shit on windows 10 are just people who switched to macs in the 90s when windows really did suck or people who want to show that they are special because they can install linux. I use windows 10 daily and I don't really see what there is to complain about.

    Avatar 2 (2020)

    This story just gets wackier. 3 sequels coming out 11 years after the original? On top of that, the original movie hasn't really held up at all. It's not like you see it on HBO all the time or anyone even talks about it. It was the top grossing movie because it was the first real showcase for...

    I'm excited about the new season. I'm definitely into it after episode one. Also, that has to be the best nude scene in the history of the FX network. On Sons of Anarchy the "nudity" warning always just meant we were going to see 2 inches of Charlie Hunnam's ass crack.

    This episode was definitely tough to follow. It seems like the edit left out a shitload out of that first vote. How it went from what we saw to Sierra/Brad/Troy/etc. voting for Hali didn't make much sense. Tai beating Ozzie was impressive, but that challenge was made for him. Ozzie probably...

    Taxes 2016

    It's not going to work for businesses, but I think it would work for most personal tax returns. Things like dependants don't change much year to year. My understanding is that in most countries you just go to the IRS website, all your information is there, and if it's correct you just hit...

    I'm not a fan of ground beef jerky. It tastes good, but the texture is just not jerky. You need whole cuts sliced with the grain if you want it to have any texture.
