That's a good one too. An overturned kitchen table or sofa can take hundreds of rounds and none of them will get through. In fact a lot of bad guys use guns that have no effect at all aside from making noise.

I mentioned it in the Homeland thread, but also people being drowned, strangled, or suffocated in seconds, and of course the "rotate someone's head 45 degrees and cause instant death" thing that somehow all military trained people know how to do. An old standby is people being knocked...

Oh and all knives make the sound of a sword coming out of a steel sheath when you pull them out and make a whooshing noise when you wave it around.

-Semis in movies honk their horn constantly and it always makes the same doppler effect sound. -People are always explaining things to people who should already know them: "Dave, you're my brother, and we grew up poor in Louisiana and our dad used to molest us, but.." Dave is probably...

Depressing episode but as soon as I heard "the plan" I knew there was no way that was going to happen. If it was the series finale there might have been some chance that it was going to go down that way but knowing there was going to be another season there was a 100% chance that it was going...

First the rubbing, then the eating. The eating is not for medicinal reasons, I was just hungry.

Not going to be a revolution in an America where the "poor" all have flat screens and an obesity problem. Things have to get a *lot* worse for something like that. There have been revolutions for ideological reasons, the original American revolution was one of them, but the population is way...

Hey guys I just diagnosed myself with AIDS and cured myself with yams. Took less than 15 minutes and that includes microwaving the yams.

I agree with those saying it has gotten better every season. S4 was excellent and S1 was the weakest of the series IMO.

Shameless has shit writing IMO and has for a couple seasons. The Emily Rossum nude scenes are too few and far between to make it worth sitting through. Weeds was horrible for like 6 straight seasons. I don't know how it stayed on television for so long.

Can't wait.

It seems reasonable that when you're being told that your second in command is a CIA operative that you might not know who you can trust with that info so maybe he didn't want one of his guards to hear and possibly alert Javadi.

Yeah the big green egg has the heat source at the bottom. If you want to smoke in it you need what they call a "plate setter" for indirect heat. I also use a stoker: Rock's Bar-B-Que - Home To control the heat. My point is that I have like $1500 in this setup and as a grill it's...

Word Count: 94 Fuck Count: 8 Congratulations! Your post was 8.5% fuck!

Metric doesn't "lend itself" to being done in decimal, they just are. You can measure inches in decimals just as easily and that's what mechanical engineers do. Like I said earlier in the thread, I think it's stupid that bolts and rulers and such are in fractions instead of tenths of an inch...

What the fuck are you talking about? There aren't different measurements for amps, volts, or ohms in metric vs. imperial. EDIT: Also, you examples are easier because you're using decimals instead of fractions, it has nothing to do with imperial vs. metric. And there is no plausible...

I don't know where you guys are getting the idea that all engineering is done in metric. I was an electrical engineer so I didn't have much use for measurements but I worked with mechanical engineers on a daily basis. Nothing that they did was metric. They did use 10th, 100ths, 1000ths of an...

I get it, but it still makes me laugh along with other agreed-upon Hollywood conventions like causing instant death by rotating someone's head 45 degrees, guns that don't run out of bullets, and a single blow to the head causing unconsciousness for however long it is convenient for the plot...

The kicking team isn't allowed to advance the ball after the kick unless someone from the receiving team has touched it. The fact that this kick only happened to go 2 feet doesn't change that. I didn't understand that situation either. I guess maybe since the blocker touched it then it's a...

I don't think anyone would bat an eye at a female tourist wandering around Tehran. Iranian women don't typically walk alone but that doesn't necessarily extend to foreigners. Even in more strict areas like Saudi Arabia it's not fucking Taliban country. They understand that foreigners don't...

He records video in portrait mode so he's obviously retarded.

You used this device to fly to outer space and get fries?

Keep a family of maggots in your mouth. They will eat the infection.

Just watched "Jay-Z Made in America". Ron Howard doc about Jay-Z's music festival in Philadelphia. Good story with lots of different kinds of good music. Needs to be watched someplace with a good sound system if at all possible. Currently playing on Showtime. Check it out.

Which is exactly why they are expensive. If tablet prices are any indication, these things should cost $2-300 off contract max, but thanks to the lack of competition the cell phone companies can charge what they want. Motorola isn't going to piss off their biggest customer (Verizon) even if...

The romantics will tell you to go charcoal or wood, and I currently use my big green egg to smoke things, but if your main goal is smoked food and not carpentry, just go buy an electric smoker (and not the bradley ones that take the stupid hockey pucks that cost 10 times as much as regular wood...

Why so angry? It's netsmas!

You could always move south to balmy Montana. This is my thermometer this morning. Crazy shit. Don't want to leave the house but I have multiple wells that are frozen up and have to be defrosted.

The reviews are great on the Moto X. The people who are down on it are the stat nerds that will point out that it has a "midrange" processor in it. Personally I have yet to hear a significant argument that there will be any noticeable difference between it and the top phones stat-wise but it...

If you say so heh, but I think participating in group sex is a pretty high bar for not being a "complete prude". Then again I would never want to do anything like with someone I was actually in a relationship with, so maybe I'm a complete prude too.

All the showtime comedies have jumped the shark IMO. Canceling Showtime as soon as Homeland is over.

Also guaranteed to keep you 100% vampire free or your money back.

I would always try not to let them in if they were pulling in front of me. This is dangerous as well, but it always made me so happy when they would catch up with the truck and have to hit their brakes and let all the people that they just passed go by them.

True, but women that are into that are like 1 in 1000 and most of the ones that are got that way by being molested as children and are all fucked up. You can't really participate in swinging unless you have a woman that is down with it since most places don't take single guys. Technically...

Yeah, if they had somehow beat Detroit on Thanksgiving, then they are thinking about getting him back in there and maybe going on a playoff run. Since they didn't, the season is essentially over and he might as well take the time to heal completely and be back to 100% next year.

I think it would scale, I just don't have the manpower or infrastructure to attempt it on the whole ranch, but I have heard nothing but good things about it and I am trying to implement the principles as much as I can. What does your uncle do for water? Is he set up so each paddock has water...

I have been in both situations and I think having nothing to do is worse. I was a security guard in college and I worked in a warehouse from Noon to Midnight on Saturdays and Sundays. The warehouse closed at 2 on Saturday and wasn't open at all on Sunday so I was literally just supposed to sit...

It's not a good sign. At the very least we are keeping an eye on you.

400 adult cows, 65 replacement heifers (to replace culls from the cow herd due to infertility, age, death, etc) and 20ish bulls. When the cows have calves I guess there's closer to 900 animals on the place but we tend to talk about the size of a ranch in terms of mother cows. You probably...

And imperial measurements don't make any sense either, but that's what we have because FUCK YOU. If you don't like it you can always move to France.
