    I would get him a chromebook. Really simple, boots up in seconds, not susceptible to viruses, everything is in the cloud and it's cheap as hell. If he really needs storage for pictures or whatever else he can get an external hard drive or probably even a flash stick or two.

    God damn some people are fucking cheap. It just doesn't make sense to me that grownups with jobs would really go through this kind of nonsense and break the law just to save a few bucks for something you use every day.

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    49ers are interviewing both the Cardinals and Seahawks DCs this week. I actually think that is the way to go. Harbaugh the quarterback whisperer couldn't turn Kaepernick into a top 10 quarterback and I doubt anyone else will either. They should play to their strengths with the power running...

    The Fast Food Thread

    You would be surprised how common this is with cattle ranchers. I know plenty of old guys that have had access to high quality grass fed beef all of their lives but only had it cooked to oblivion with no seasoning. It's no wonder that they dump ketchup on it. My grandmother can't eat anything...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I agree with this. It's not that I'm worried about bacteria, I just think they taste better cooked a bit more. A rare or even medium rare burger is going to drip juice all over and make the bun soggy and most likely will be hard to eat because it won't hold together well. It's not like a...

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    You have to be careful with that stuff. It's the same with propane here, a lot of people charge based on what they paid for the stuff, not what the current market is and if they stocked up at the wrong time, they may very well attempt to pass their buttraping on to you.

    Yeah it looks like the top income tax rate in the UK is 45%. I don't know if there is an equivalent of a state income tax in Britain but in California you would be paying 39.6% federal + 12.3% state taxes so it might actually be cheaper to be in the UK. It looks like taxes in the UK are...

    Yeah I would think that the players would still be Americans working for an American company so I would think that they could avoid too much British taxes. Half the players "live" in Florida now for tax reasons.

    My Mom will not use a fucking cutting board. She knows cutting on a plate or a steel pan dulls up her knives, she knows that doing it in my presence bugs the shit out of me, and she just goes ahead and does it anyway. I halfway think she does it on purpose just so I will take it away from her...

    These are the 3 phones that everyone likes but no one buys because they aren't made by Samsung. That said, everyone seems to like the note pretty well also and I'm sure when the S6 comes out it will be a legit contender.

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    I don't think I would bet on the oil prices bouncing right back. I heard an interview with some dude on the radio that said that the Bakken is basically producing oil for less than OPEC can and while some companies are leveraged to the hilt and are in trouble at these prices others will just...

    So I'm rewatching S1 during the holiday TV lull and I got to thinking that Flora (the girl that Dan falls in love with before she gets her brains mashed in by Tolliver for stealing) was a good actress and really pretty and I wonder what ever happened to her so I go to IMDB and it's fucking...

    San Diego fishing trip and then road trip to San Francisco

    I haven't been to Mandalay bay but the one at Monterey is huge. It's probably a bit different because they have fish just from the Monterey Bay. There are some fucking HUGE tuna in there among many other things.

    I like all the thin sliced italian meats (Prosciutto, salami, and they get harder to pronounce/spell from there) wrapped around bits of cheese and various pickles. I'm going to be taking my latest batch of cheese curds to our New Year's party. They are the best ones I have made so far...

    This is weak dude. Romo didn't suddenly turn into an elite quarterback his 9th year in the league. He DOES have a much better team around him and he's still not playing at Rodgers' level.

    San Diego fishing trip and then road trip to San Francisco

    I was going to recommend the Aquarium at Monterey as well but it doesn't sound like they have that much time to spend. It's like a 3-6 hour stop easily but it's great if you're into fish at all. I've been there probably 7 times and would happily go again but I like fish.

    I made my 4th batch of cheese curds last night using the thermophilic culture and I thought that the results were slightly better but still no squeak and they were just generally somewhere between ricotta and wherever cheese curds are actually supposed to taste like. I found a recipe online...

    Please don't watch next season. Or if you do, please don't post about it. I'm asking nicely. I guess last week was the climax of the season. This episode was more like resolution and setting up next season but it was kind of a letdown for a season finale.
