    Virtual Reality

    Who would that be? Ars Technica, The Verge, Paul Thurrott etc. have all tried it and I consider them pretty legit and definitely not afraid to criticize Microsoft.

    Virtual Reality

    Maybe it should be in its own thread, but this is pretty interesting. All the tech reporters who have been invited to try it seem to think it's pretty legit. It's the first time augmented reality has really looked realistic at all.

    American Sniper

    To my surprise my local theater actually got this movie this week so I went and watched it tonight. I enjoyed it very much although I thought that the wife character was very underdeveloped and therefore fairly unpleasant to watch. That said, Bradley Cooper was great in it and I really enjoyed...

    I guess the part that I was missing about Elon Musk's space internet was that the satellites will be in low earth orbit so they are only 750 miles above the ground instead of 22,000 like the current internet satellites. It really would be like a whole duplicate internet pretty much and latency...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't think spaghetti, hot dogs, and ketchup is a "thing" anywhere I have ever been in the midwest, but it may have been served in a trailer house or two at some point. When it comes down to it it's just a hot dog with a traditional condiment and a different kind of carb but it does sound...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Aereo was not paying the networks anything. They were claiming that since their customers lived in the area where the channels were broadcast for free then they shouldn't have to pay to get something online that they could get for free over the air anyway. I think it's safe to assume that Dish...

    I haven't worked at McDonald's personally but it's my understanding that that is exactly how they make their eggs. What's so unbelievable about it?

    It's been in the 40s and 50s here. The creek is running by my house tonight. I would actually prefer that it stay below freezing this time of year because we lose all the moisture from the snow and the roads are all a fucking skating rink anywhere that there is shade but it has been nice to go...

    Smartphones

    I would love to seem them buy Sprint or TMO, although TMO is already sort of doing the "no bullshit carrier" thing. Either way I'm sure they won't be in my area for a decade. I didn't realize Google was involved with that. It would definitely be amazing. Have they mentioned the latency issue...

    I have like a $15 rice cooker from Walmart that has made all of my rice for the last 8 years or so. Unitasker it may be, but the rice is perfect every time and you don't even have to think about it.

    It's just an MVNO on Sprint and T-Mobile. Kind of half assed if they are really trying to compete with ATT and Verizon.

    I know this is what got me to learn to cook. By about age 25 I just reached a point where I couldn't eat any more fucking hot dogs. That and Alton Brown led to my badass cooking skills.

    The worst thing is having farts that don't stink 80% of the time. I can usually get away with sneaking one out almost anywhere, but then once in a while the plan fails pretty spectacularly. Last summer I farted outdoors on a golf course and I thought my cousin was going to pass out from it...

    antivirus / antimaleware

    If it's me and Malwarebytes doesn't get it then I'd just back up their files and reinstall. Takes an hour and it's guaranteed to work vs. spending all night fucking around with virus software. Their computer will probably run better afterwards too. They will thank you.

    As much as I like selling calves for as high as they are now, I know a lot of people are making this choice based on their pocketbooks. 2013 was our best year ever in terms of income and 2014 was 170% of 2013. That has to impact demand. It will come back down. Most people think it won't be...

    I'm not defending it, I'm just asking questions about it. I'm interested in the movie and I live in the sticks so I won't have an opportunity to see it probably until it comes out on DVD.

    And now you have explained that you didn't like it 37 times. It's fine, you don't have to keep defending your dislike of a movie.

    Oscars 2015

    I think a movie about growing up/getting older would have to benefit from the fact that the actors, writers, and directors are going through the same things in their own lives over the course of the movie.

    There is the liberal American/European Jews and the badass Israeli jews, but I think "hate" is a strong word. More like polite disagreement compared to what the Muslims do to each other.

    I have to admit I chuckled at "Seadderall". Is that actually a performance enhancing drug though? I thought it was for ADHD/studying/getting addicted to.
