    This American Life podcast

    It's a complicated problem and politicians don't like complicated problems. I was talking to my sister this weekend who is a social worker in Child Protective Services about intergenerational poverty, drug use, and general fuckedupedness and honestly if you made me dictator for a day and my...

    Dan Carlin - Hardcore History Podcast & Common Sense Podcast

    I'll second that. I liked the Rome series and the current WW1 series but both went a little more in depth than I needed to go personally and I was sort of getting tired of them by the end. Ghosts of the Ostfront though had my full attention start to finish.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Same here, but regardless, dressing up as a magical creature and having a fake fight with someone else who is also dressed up as a magical creature is an order of magnitude more nerdy than playing a video game.

    Smokers / Grills

    I don't have that particular one, but I will say that if you are cooking overnight it's pretty damn awesome to just set an alarm every couple hours, roll over and look at your laptop to see that all is well in the smoker, and go back to sleep.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I think it would suck badly to be a dentist in Montana just because of the popularity of Copenhagen.

    The Fast Food Thread

    Even just using the sonicare toothbrush is pretty helpful. At least my dentist stopped nagging me about flossing when I started using the sonicare even though I still didn't floss. I think the cavity thing has a lot to do with genetics as well. I have had I think 2 or 3 cavities in my 38...

    One thing you have to say for Tomsula. If he is successful no one can really accuse him of just riding Harbaugh's coattails after this off season.

    Random technology news & announcements

    They're not really getting rid of IE, just changing the name to something else that they're calling "project spartan". They're calling it an all new browser but I'm betting that it's just repackaged IE and they are hoping to get away from the stigma IE had back when it really sucked.

    Better Call Saul

    They showed his Saul commercials in the flash-forward at the beginning of the first episode. I can't believe that there are only 3 episodes left. 10 episodes isn't long enough for a season.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    It was a quote from an actor on the show about an event that hasn't happened, albeit a vague one. To me that's a spoiler. Like I said though, it's just a request, I don't make the rules.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I still love kiddie candy (laffy taffy, nerd ropes, trolli sour worms, sweet tarts, etc). I don't eat it regularly, and I feel slightly embarrassed buying it, but I have to have some once in a while. Usually when I'm on a road trip.

    Dan Carlin - Hardcore History Podcast & Common Sense Podcast

    That's always the complaint with Carlin. He is really picky about quality especially with the history show which is part of why it's so good but it gets pretty exasperating waiting for it sometimes.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Just a suggestion, but I would prefer that spoiler tags be used when discussing rumors like that. I really don't want to hear shit like that. I know that this is the spoiler thread, but up to now it's just been book spoilers.

    Smartphones

    I don't think there's any other "free" phone that will be really much of an upgrade from the Moto X unless she is really hung up on a certain aspect like the camera.

    Fuck Comcast

    I think you're in the minority here. Pretty much everybody rates DirecTV and Dish way above the cable companies for their DVRs.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    It could happen. Daniel Jeremiah gave me some hope on his podcast the other day though. He said that 49ers fans shouldn't be freaking out about losing these veterans because last year's draft was so good and most of these guys' replacements are already on the roster. That is not the consensus...

    Dan Carlin - Hardcore History Podcast & Common Sense Podcast

    Wrath of the Khans is like the best podcast series ever made. Common Sense is not like any other political show I have ever heard. Dan is the most clear headed rational guy you will come across and it's never the usual "R's are great, D's hate America!" or vice versa that you get in most...

    I would actually love to see that. The 49ers are a complete question mark next year but it would be a huge surprise if they were in the mix for the SB so I would love to see Luck get a ring and Gore fucking deserves one so I will be rooting for Indy in any game where they're not playing the...

    I'm not even sure Willis doesn't have a limp already. He said in his farewell speech that he's always had trouble with his feet and they just can't do it anymore. He said that he knew he would end up drawing a salary to sit on the bench again just like he did last year and he was concerned...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    We shouldn't get carried away with the whole "plug and play running back" scenario. The strategy where you draft a guy high, use him for a few years and then draft another guy high and let the other one go before his second contract is a real strategy, but it doesn't apply to top 5 guys. You...

    Well, if you watched breaking bad you know that you can't just take all of your drug lord cash to Merrill Lynch. That vault is a hell of a lot safer than Walt's storage locker or the crawlspace under his house.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I wonder how much of the expense is the actual cable and how much is the conduit, digging, etc. It might just make sense to future proof yourself by putting 10x the amount of cable that you need down there while you have the trench dug even if it won't be used for a while. The risk is of...

    I think Scorsese could make a movie with black people. I don't care who makes it, I just want a real movie made by somebody good. A documentary made by a music guy isn't going to cut it.

    The Daily Show with Trevor Noah

    Yeah, this show pretty much has to have someone that is into politics. For a TV personality if you're not going to make your gig about politics, then you should probably just avoid it completely or you will alienate half of your potential audience so I think he is smart to stay away from...

    Smartwatches / Fitness Trackers

    I like the idea of a smart watch and I will probably get one once they have been out for a couple generations. It's not a "problem" to pull out your phone (unless you're driving) but 90% of the times that the thing beeps it's for something that's not important and I ignore it so sometimes I...

    The Joe Rogan Experience

    I quit listening to the Adam Carolla Show for this reason. He has a bunch of rants and stories that he has done over and over for years. I think that since he came from radio you can get away with that because on a radio show nobody listens to the whole show every single day but with podcasts...

    I'm kind of curious how well the motion sensor to turn on the clock face works. If you have to push a button to see the time then that's a deal breaker for me. Charging isn't a big deal as long as it gets you through the day. I don't mind taking the watch off and setting it on a wireless...
