This is true. The memory thing was with Ni-Cad batteries. Lithium batteries like to be charged early and often.

I think Google Now is cool, but it is for some reason convinced that my "home" is at a place 60 miles from my house that I have never actually visited. When I try to put my address in it tells me that it is not a valid address. Not a real serious problem, but it's weird to look at my phone as...

I am not saying bit coins are going to last, just that they are no different than "real" currency in this regard. Money has value because people believe that it does. If people start using bit coin then it will be a real currency and its value will stabilize. If people lose faith in US...

M60s often have a tracer every 10th round or something so I don't think that is necessarily unrealistic although in this case the effects are undoubtedly added.

I was too busy to watch last week so I just watched the last two episodes. The loved ones tribe sucks pretty hard. They are playing scared and voting out their strong players which means that they are going to go into the merge way down on numbers. On the other hand, they are probably not...

What are you talking about? People invest in currency all the time. There have been "legitimate" government issued currencies that inflated so quickly that prices in supermarkets had to be changed daily. Instability is not desirable, but it's hardly unique to bitcoins and bitcoin is certainly...

Who could even have an orgasm in a world without cheese? Not this guy. This is a no-brainer.

I wonder what people did for wank material back in the old days before even Playboy existed. I had two sources for porn as an adolescent. First I had a cousin who was like a truffle hunting pig when it came to porn. He found someone's huge stash of magazines in an old car down by the river...

I thought of Lost pretty much immediately after the finale as well, but I don't know what kind of douche you have to be to have the impulse to go and insult the guy that made the other show 3 years later.

He needs a man that can hold him tight.

This is where you are wrong. I have extensively psychoanalyzed both characters who are real and complex humans. I have found that Gandalf IS gay for Dumbledore, but Dumbledore, while gay himself, does not return Gandalf's feelings but is actually into bears.

When you look back at this post, and the rest of them in this thread this afternoon, and consider that it is basically a semantic argument about a TV show with a person that you will never meet, does it seem like a good use of time?

The 49ers are on SNF next week. I don't know why I got Sunday Ticket, all 5 of SF's first 5 games have been on national TV.

Really? Same minute.

Felina is a reference to the Marty Robbins song at the beginning of the episode.

Not punting this time!

The punters are getting some awesome stats the last 15 minutes.

I did a smaller version of this once when I ordered a Harmony Remote from Amazon. I got the package and opened it in my car, then later when I got into the house I noticed that it didn't have a battery in the package. I called Amazon, sent the remote back and got a new one and then like 2...

I agree, that is the best thing he's done in a while. The "Ghosts of the Ostfront" series about the eastern front in WWII was awesome as well. The Rome series was good, but maybe a little more information than I really wanted about Rome before the Julius Ceasar period which I find more...

It's crazy to think about the fact that I *loved* the Simpsons for like 10 years and that was like 15 years ago and the damn show is still on.

Hmm, like I said, need to watch this show earlier in the evening.

You should never watch ESPN for more than about 20 minutes a day. I have watched maybe 45 minutes today and I have heard the Bucs coach explain that he thinks Glennon gives them the best chance to win at least 37 times.

Radiolab is great. The Freakonomics podcast is another good one from NPR.

And the cable itself can't possibly electrocute you because it should only have access to 5V DC which is harmless. The only way that enough voltage to shock you could get to the cable is if the power supply had malfunctioned.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_shock It takes 30mA to cause fibrillation. Your phone draws 500-1000 mA while charging. If there was a fuse in there (there isn't) it would be at least a 1.5-2A fuse. Fuses are good for preventing fires and melted wires but useless for protecting you...

Most of the time when you get electrocuted it's not that the electricty "burns out" your heart. If the power is AC, it causes heart fibrillation. The frequency of AC power is 60 Hz which is about 10 times the average frequency of your heart, which is a problem because it's slow enough that...

There's no douche douchier than a music douche.

Fast Talking Political Commentary Common Sense with Dan Carlin is an independent look at politics and current events from popular New Media personality Dan Carlin. Reviews: "Thinking, not blind opinion. This is neither left nor right...it's an intelligent, articulate, knowledgeable...

The Marshall dude is way over the top. They are also really pushing the envelope on violence in this season too. I had to avert my eyes during the bottle opening scene. The part where he shot the chick in his hotel room was ridiculous too. I have to think it was really an accident, but now...

Somebody spent like 4 days to make that.

If Vernon Davis and Patrick Willis are still out and Aldon Smith is in rehab it could definitely happen. On the other hand, the Rams suck. I think the 49ers are fucked when it comes to winning the division unless something major happens in Seattle (Russell Wilson and Marshawn Lynch colliding...

Hi. I've never done anything in my life that anyone gave a shit about, but I heard some kids were having 15 minutes of fame so I guess I'd better go online and shit on them and hopefully someone will be impressed with my musical knowledge and how awesome I am at playing music according to me.

Speaking of TOOL, this thread is full of them. Jesus Christ.

I don't know if I agree with this. The running game got going pretty well against the colts, and Kaepernick can only do so much when the receivers can't get open in man coverage. When each receiver can be covered by a single back allowing the linebackers to come after the quarterback there's...

My favorite breakfast is two poached eggs on a sausage patty on a piece of toast. If you put hollandaise on top of it that makes it even better, but the egg yolks are really enough of a sauce to make it all delicious. Also, sausage is better than ham/canadian bacon on eggs benedict. I used...

Yeah I didn't mean he was a stretch the field speed guy. By "down the field" I just meant on the far side of the line of scrimmage from the quarterback. Possibly even on the far side of the first down marker.

So it turns out with Vernon Davis out there is absolutely no one except for Boldin that is capable of getting open down the field. Take away Boldin and you take away the 49ers whole passing game. Quite depressing considering how long it's going to be before Manningham and Crabtree are back...

I think that Marie is going to marry Walt Jr. and shave his head and force him to have sex with her while saying "Dammit Marie" over and over. Because Marie is crazy.

Dexter Morgan's new name is Buzz Martin. Who knew he could sing?

I have learned that you really need to call DirecTV once a year and threaten to leave if they don't give you some discounts. I have gotten NFL Sunday Ticket free 2 of the last 3 years and they always lower the prices for a few months. I've been told that they are allowed to give $250 in...
