I don't know why apple is so obsessed with making their phones thin. They are plenty thin enough and I would rather have more battery life than a phone that looks like a giant potato chip.

He was pretty good in Clay Pigeons. It was a mediocre indie movie but he was a pretty good bad guy. The dude has a ton of charisma.

Once again it's mass murder in the streets in broad daylight with 6 guys blazing away with machine guns yet nothing will happen. In real life some shit like that going down in a city would be national news right? It happens like every other episode on this show and the police don't even seem...

Hah, I never thought of it that way but yeah, if he really thought he had a cold blooded killer on his hands he probably should have tried not to piss that guy off.

I had a friend in college who had a coworker that had a guy forcefully take his bicycle out of his hands and try to ride away on it. The bicycle owner gave the guy a shove as he jumped on the bike, he rolled out into traffic, got hit by a car and killed. When he came into work that evening...

Obviously the people wanting to buy your pension think it's going to be worth more than they are going to pay for it. On the other hand, 30 years from now $250 a month isn't even going to pay your cable bill (assuming that cable still exists by then which it probably won't).

I read this thread title as "sports figurines who break the law" and now I sort of wish that was a thing.

I didn't realize that women had to resort to such extreme measures to not go out on dates. Also, I'm afraid this plan might backfire and now less men will want to date her, but a certain class of weirdos will want to date her really badly. EDIT: LOL see above

My sister used a samsung brightside before she went to a smartphone. It has a touchscreen and a qwerty slider. We are going to let Mom try her old phone but it seems like it might be nice to bypass the part where you have to arrow through a bunch of shitty menus. I can't say much about it...

Yeah, get ready for a lot of talk about "heros".

Yeah, it fuckin worked. That's why I said it's going to ruin the show. I would say he suffered less than about 90% of the contestants on this show just because he didn't even try to do anything.

I just write in Ross Perot.

I'm not sure either but if I had to guess I would say it's because Jonathan Martin blows ass. The O-line has been shit all year and the only reason that we have any offense at all is because Kaep can run the ball and complete passes with a couple linebackers chasing him around in the backfield.

Yeah, it seems like the commentators all seem to agree that those back to back 15 yarders were both bad calls and while the Boldin call was not, it is pussy shit.

Not if I don't give a fuck between the R's and D's which I don't. They are in lockstep on the issues that are most important to me. I'm not really interested in abortion or gay marriage.

That obviously isn't going to happen so why don't you just stop being a condescending douche fuck?

This is bad advice for people that live in rural areas since Sprint and TMO will have no coverage. Around here it's Verizon or nothing so going to a smartphone is an extra $40 a month. I do wish that there were some dumb phones with a half decent UI though. My mom tries to text but all the...

Great. Now get the fuck out of the sports thread.

Vegans don't eat dairy, but it's easy enough to coat everything in sugar and peanut butter and then deep fry it. The dude probably has a super slow metabolism too which would be an advantage on this show. Also, dudes like Matt are the reason that you think that the world naked bike ride will...

Not a great finale, but there were two notable moments. 1) I doubt I will ever hear a crying woman scream out the words "I need magnesium" again. 2) Matt has discovered a strategy that will ruin this show. It turns out all you have to do to survive 21 days is to be fat and do nothing but...

Voting third party is the only way to break the corporate money stranglehold on Washington. I have been doing it for 15 years now and I will keep doing it. I don't give a shit if my vote is "wasted" on someone that can't win. It's even more wasted if I use it on a corporate shill that isn't...

Yeah, that was crazy. Hasid mafia. BTW I found a new podcast (new to me, it's been around a while) called "Damn Interesting ~ A collection of legitimately fascinating information culled from the past, present, and anticipated future.". Highly produced, 15-60 minutes long monthly podcast...

Break up ATT, Comcast, TWC and Verizon into 10 companies and make them share the infrastructure so any of them can serve customers in any market and so can any new company that wants to throw their hat in the ring. Also charge a fee to every subscriber for maintenance/improvements on the...

I am enjoying the hell out of this show. It is great. I really like the bicycle riding nurse with the southern accent. This is what Placent previa means BTW since I just googled it.

I have no faith in the government's ability to provide decent service. If it's like most other government services it will hemorrhage cash and provide mediocre to bad service which is what we already have with the big fat monopolies. Competition is the way to go.

It's great for me as long as people keep buying beef. Having revenues increase 270% over the last 5 years is not at all hard to live with.

The national beef supply is at it's lowest point in a long time. A lot of herds were liquidated due to extended drought in the south/southwest and with farmers/ranchers aging and a lack of young people to replace them, some of them are just not rebuilding their herds. In addition to that...

We really need a white player to go and beat on their wife/kids to show solidarity.

Most companies aren't made up of a large percentage of millionaire dudes in their 20s, many of whom came from a rough background. That type of folks just don't typically wind up in the public eye unless they happen to be athletic freaks of nature. Add in the fact that they are paid to be...

I finally got my hands on some garden tomatoes today so I ate BLTs for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

If Gloria Allred is on board then we're in for a few more rounds of the NFL shitshow.

I haven't watched the episode yet, but the guy who already hanged himself with a log chain got *more* emo?

I agree, but I'm sure he would like another ring nonetheless. The fact that he's going on 10 years since his last SB victory definitely tarnishes his legacy.

That looks like an expensive santa costume.

I could see Brady switching teams if the Patriots were going into full on rebuilding mode and there was some other team that was a quarterback away from contending for a superbowl and wanted to give him a huge bag of money. I'm sure he would like to have one more ring to tie Joe Montana.

It's interesting that a lot of those knockouts the guy is just holding his gloves in front of his face trying to protect himself and not really even boxing at all.

Perhaps. I also find that most people greatly exaggerate the spankings that they received as a kid. It could be that what Peterson did was what he thought he remembered his parents doing but your memories from childhood probably made those spankings seem a lot worse than they actually were...

25 up/down seems like setting the bar pretty low even though for me it would be a massive upgrade.

I think there is more to it than that. I give Peterson the benefit of the doubt that he was doing what he thought was best for his kid and didn't realize that he was doing that much damage. If he did it again I would throw the book at him, but I don't really see any evidence of malicious...
