    I say for Thanksgiving go traditional, especially if you have kids. It's not like everyone is sick of pumpkin pie because you have it every two weeks. Most people eat pumpkin pie, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, and green bean casserole exactly one time a year and it's the...

    We had somebody try the cranberry relish thing at thanksgiving and that bullshit does not fly. That is not cranberry sauce. The canned stuff is a joke too. It takes like 4 minutes to make it on top of the stove with fresh cranberries and the directions are right on the bag.

    I think you got a lemon of a galaxy nexus. Mine isn't great but it's much better than yours. I generally get 8-12 hours out of mine and that is leaving wifi, GPS, etc on, listening to podcasts all day, and being in an area with very spotty cell coverage. I do absolutely nothing to save my...

    Do you Arduino?

    FWIW, my issue of Make magazine came today and it has a feature on Arduino and various other microcontrollers. Might be worth picking up if you're interested in getting into that kind of thing.

    Hell on Wheels

    I wasn't too big on the main storyline but it was okay. Elam's storyline on the other hand, was pointless and retarded. They might as well have just had him act out the "Guy on a Buffalo" storyline.

    What you don't know is that if he had left it there for a full second, it would have ignited a tiny rocket and flown itself into that Asian guy's head killing him instantly.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I used to work across the street from NIF. Not to poo poo the story, but someone has announced that fusion was just around the corner like 6 times a year for the last 40 years.

    Survivor: Blood vs. Water

    That was excellent. I was already becoming a fan of Caleb and now I am rooting for him to win even if he might share the money with fucking Colton. It's going to be awkward as fuck on redemption island between Brad and Candice.

    You can do handwritten notes and you can also draw with it with various apps. It's not completely useless, but I don't think most people get it out very often.

    Sons of Anarchy

    The conjugal visit scene was ridiculous. Sometimes I think Sutter is a bit like George R. R. Martin in that he puts fucked up inhuman cruelty in for no particular reason. I am kinda bummed out that they blew up that cool carved table.

    Do you Arduino?

    Can't you just connect the LCD to the shift register instead of the 7 segment displays? Not sure how the reflection thing would work with a backlit LCD though. I would also argue that 15 wires aren't really much harder to run than 5 if you're using a ribbon cable or something. Seven segment...

    Don't feel bad, I am glad speeds are getting faster and it will eventually trickle down to me. There are always going to be downsides to living away from everyone else and my parents and grandparents went through the same kind of thing with electricity and telephone back in the day.

    Do you Arduino?

    Why not use one of the little LCD shields instead of the 7 segment displays? You could probably display speed, time, and RPM all at the same time on a small LCD and that is one of the most basic shields for arduino. You are correct that getting data from your bike is going to be challenging...

    Yeah, but embedded microcontrollers traditionally use assembly. All my PIC projects were written in assembly.

    2013 NFL Season

    While I am sucking on the 49ers ass, I want to add that I fucking love their jumbo jumbo package that they have been doing on short yardage. Both in this game and the Rams game they went for it on 4th and 1, put in 7 offensive linemen and might as well have put "We're running Frank Gore up the...

    2013 NFL Season

    Manning also has the best receiving corps in the league. And nobody is Manning when it comes to reading defenses. He is one of a kind when it comes to that. On top of that, he was playing a shitty defense. The 49ers were playing the number 1 defense in the league.

    2013 NFL Season

    What's really weird about this season is that none of them are really using the option or the pistol much at all and that was what made them all famous last season. What happened to it? Did defenses figure it out so it's just not effective? Did RG3's knee injury scare everybody into...

    2013 NFL Season

    The good news is that they were back to power football last night and it worked great. I think maybe after the Packer's game they got the idea that they were a high flying football team and Seattle brought that back to reality. They were able to impose their will on a very good Texans defense...

    Do you Arduino?

    You could definitely build a board. The question is whether you could design anything worth doing without learning a bit more about electronics. If all you want is to make a circuit board you could find a schematic for a simple circuit of some sort easily. If you want to do something more...

    Do you Arduino?

    One of my stock tanks has a timer that totally sucks dick. I want to build one that does it better for less money (they cost like $100). I think an Arduino might be up to the task.

    2013 NFL Season

    What he needs back are his receivers. Any defense that can cover Boldin and Davis can totally stop the SF passing game right now, and Davis still isn't 100%. Once Manningham and Crabtree are back defenses are going to weep. Until then, the schedule is pretty soft for a while and the running...

    I've been thinking about getting one but I haven't actually done it yet. They look like fun. I've done a few things for work and or school with PICs which were kind of a predecessor to Arduino. I don't know anything about controlling hard drives. It might be easier to control it with...

    Yeah, but when I try to put in my address it tells me that it's not valid. I don't really care and I don't blame them for not being able to figure it out because I live way out in the sticks but I wish it would just stop trying.

    I like going down on women, but that show Cathouse on HBO always freaked me out when clients would come in and go down on the hookers. I just couldn't get past sticking my mouth in something that I know 6 other dudes fucked today, whether she washed it afterwards or not.

    Their 10Mb service is not available here. I was going to switch to them until I found that out. 15 gigs is only available in the middle of the night also, so it's actually less unless I want to schedule things to DL at 2 AM. Wild Blue also has a faster service called Exede that has unlimited...
