I wear red wing boots on a daily basis but I never get more than 2.5-3 years out of them. Mine get wet fairly often though, and I probably don't oil them as much as I should. It's usually the leather cracking that does them in for me.

I don't know if we will hear much about the CES stuff until a couple days before the show. CES hasn't really had big new phone announcements lately though, they seem to prefer to do their own event the last couple years. That said, I'm due for a new phone but I'm not pulling the trigger on...

While this is technically true, the Packers had knocked the 49ers out of the playoffs like two of the previous 3 years so we were due for a break. I had just moved into a new apartment that year and I was watching the game on rabbit ears through a bunch of snow. Halfway through the game the...

I love me some Collinsworth. I feel like I learn about football listening to him. He used to hate the 49ers because they beat him in the superbowl but I think he's over that now. Actually Gruden says things that are educational as well in between his fake good old boy sayings and sounding...

I'm not saying the stereotype is true, but Samsung is a bad example. It came out in the Apple lawsuit that they actually had like a 150 page document explaining every detail of the iPhone and how to make their phones more like it.

Yeah, terrible time to be trying to fly last minute. Probably the worst week of the year.

Oh bullshit. This board has 3600 "active" members. Don't pretend that since 200 of them voted on a poll that your hands are tied.

I clicked on that link and now those shoes are showing up in my facebook ads.

Even on FOH everyone that had high numbers or low numbers was usually due to some shenanigans in the screenshots forum. Anyone that thought it was an accurate reflection of your value as a poster was an idiot. I thought Astro's thread was some harmless fun and getting butt hurt about it is...

One other aspect of the purchase is that Boston Dynamics was mostly funded by DARPA to this point, but Google said that while they will complete the contracts already in place, they will not be doing any more work for the government/military once those are finished.

The #1 strategy for success in all sports is to never lose any games but for some reason nobody does it.

Couple news stories. Chromecast in 2014: an open SDK, big international plans and maybe even new devices Tech News and Analysis Google Still Working on Chromecast SDK; More Apps Coming | News & Opinion | PCMag.com Sounds very promising although I don't get why the SDK is taking so...

They are monsters.

OTHER PEOPLE ARE DOING THINGS THAT I DID NOT APPROVE OF. THIS MUST BE STOPPED IMMEDIATELY.

I wonder what the hell they're going to do with this. Google buys Boston Dynamics, maker of spectacular and terrifying robots | The Verge

Great story of government competence.

From Picasso's post on is the gayest part of this thread.

You don't have to spend a lot on probe thermometers, but you do on instant read ones if you want them to actually work. I always think about getting one of those thermapens but have yet to pull the trigger on it. With regard to the non-instant variety, I have owned several but I have yet to...

I know this is supposed to be "your own" photography, but I had to share this gorgeous pic with people who would appreciate it. From theBoston Globe "Big Picture" Blogwhich if you don't read, you should.

He's not a puppet if he is sending a huge "fuck you" to the CIA just because he can. At that point he's a liability not an asset and they make the call that puts him on the crane with Brody.

Heh, I wouldn't say that I like the walk of remembrance, but when they don't do it, it seems like there is something missing.

Well, he killed a major government official and made a fool of Iran. They are all about revenge in the middle east. She did but it wasn't a big deal. I don't think she was ever going to convert to Islam or anything, she was just feeling conflicted about her dad and sort of acted out a prayer.

Thought what were cool? Trolls? No.

The more I think about it I wouldn't be surprised if next season was all new players either, with a team of meatheads, a team of dumb pretty blondes, and a team of nerds.

Great finale. I am definitely down for season 4.

Since Cierra didn't make the final 3 Tyson was the best choice IMO. Winning the last two immunity challenges pretty much sealed it for him in my book even if the second half of his game has been uninspiring. It's hard to be inspiring from the lead position but getting those two hidden...

Pretty crazy week of football. Also it was nice to see my fellow 49er fans in this thread whining their way through another win. Right now the only team I fear in the playoffs is the Seahawks. I am rooting for the Panthers to beat Seattle in Seattle. They are the only team aside from the...

You can say a lot of things about Cowboys fans but you can't call them front runners at this point.

Thanks. It needs to be rubber. It's to go into a panel on the back of my flatbed pickup truck and I don't think those plastic desk things are going to hold up. I'm sort of rethinking the whole thing. Somehow I need this connector: With a couple of 4 guage wires coming out of it...

Yeah, it's sad that they didn't come back an episode earlier. Now it's going to basically be someone to keep Cierra company while the other three are on the last reward together.

Grainger has like 150 different round grommets, but nothing like this that I can find.

I'm looking for a grommet like this one. It needs to be big enough to fit a large (2"x1" rectangular) connector through and the more heavy duty the better. So far the only websites I have found with them are a german one where you have to call to request a quote (meaning they don't want...

Or maybe a sushi wrapper.

I know why they do it, but it's lazy writing. If you can't figure out how to tell a story without having completely unrealistic conversations where one person explains something to someone who obviously already knows it then you should probably try harder.

Ha! I forgot about ogre walls. We actually tried that on Tunare once. Don't recall that it worked worth a damn but it was very entertaining.

Good one, but it's not just catching other people, it's also catching yourself while you are falling with your fingertips on a ledge. People are constantly falling 10 or 15 feet and then catching themselves with their fingertips on a ledge or with one hand on a pipe or something even though no...

I agree, Gervase has no chance. He never goes in front of the jury without making an ass of himself. Not stupid, just a douche. I think everyone else has a shot. If Cierra makes it to the end she is definitely in my top 10 all time favorite players. Pulling an individual immunity win out of...

I would be with you if I hadn't heard of something like this happening day before yesterday. Newlyweds Accused of Thrill-Kill Craigslist Murder - ABC News Dude gets into a car with a hooker/escort. Her husband is in the back seat under a blanket. Husband pops up and wraps an extension...

Me too. It would be absolutely retarded for Jax to have made that whole deal with the DA if he was just going to kill Tara. It makes no sense that he would do it, but the fact that he dropped his gun on the floor and then the DA stared intensely at it makes me worry that we're going down the...
