    The NSA watches you poop.

    Well, since you are posting sanctimoniously on a video game message board I don't think anyone could say you didn't do your part.

    The Current State of Vodka (or if you prefer all vodka comes from three distilleries)

    Poverty in America is perpetuated by bad parenting. It's not a racial thing. If parents stay together and sacrifice for their children, the kids have a good chance of upward mobility. If parents abandon and neglect their kids in favor of substance abuse or other negative factors, they have a...

    Smartphones

    Cell phones and little gadgets at 2.4 GhZ are some of the weakest transmitters around. You don't get shit from them compared to say, an FM radio or TV station tower broadcasting at 100,000 watts. Even police car radios and walkie talkies are broadcasting at an order of magnitude greater power...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    That would be nice. I really like the idea of companies like Amazon and Google getting into the business because they have other streams of revenue and don't have to squeeze every penny of profit out of their subscribers.

    Smartphones

    There's radio waves of all frequencies flying around. No reason not to use all of them. If you only use one frequency you greatly reduce the number of signals and thus the amount of power available to you.

    Thanks for being the 30th person to post what he already stated in the thread title.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    Since there are some Alton Brown fans in this thread, you might like to know that he's doing a podcast now on the Nerdist network. The Alton Browncast << Nerdist I've been listening for a few weeks now and it's not bad. He talks about food news, interviews celebrity and non-celebrity...

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Does anyone have any advice on what the OP should have done in the past or an opinion on whether or not he is stupid? Just curious. Also, dealerships suck ass. There's a reason used car salesmen are one of the least trusted professions. You will usually get a better deal private treaty and...

    Any way you could make this post longer?

    "I'm a fucking idiot, what do I do now?", he said to his wife.

    Get a lawyer man. It will cost money but they will know what to do if they're not an idiot. Forget what the cop told you. She just wants to get you off the phone so she doesn't have to do more paperwork.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Speaking of debt, what are you guys' opinions on long term debt? Do you pay it off early? Our profit margins are generally pretty thin, but the last couple years have been good and it looks like the next couple should be as well. We do have some long term debt (250Kish) which we are 3 years...

    Breaking Bad

    Yes, and nobody wants to read that bullshit again, so let's agree to disagree about who the misogynist is. Can we agree that it's not interesting to read the same people showing up in the thread after every episode and whining about how they hate Skyler and Marie and what cunty cunty cunts they...

    Breaking Bad

    Nerds only like women that act like men. If you find a female character that is popular on this board it's because she carries a sword and kills people. When they act like real women, everyone here hates them. We've been through this all before of course.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Bankers don't make money on you if you're not in debt all the time. My banker is constantly calling me asking if we need an operating loan etc. Of course then as soon as you do owe them money, they're up your ass about whether you're going to be able to pay.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    The apostrophe goes on the other side of the 65. I read this as "65 foot barracuda" which gave me a pretty entertaining image of you riding a gigantic fish. FWIW we now have 2013 F-350 2006 F-250 1996 F-250 1990 F-250 And my shitty old '99 oldsmobile intrigue that I drive when I...

    Detroit Real Estate

    If they were smart they would drop all the back taxes on buildings if people fix them up and inhabit them. It's a lot more desirable for the city if the building were repaired even if they don't get the theoretical back taxes than if it just stays abandoned because the back taxes make it...

    Breaking Bad

    It's the former. The whole initial thing is cheesy and would never happen in the real world. That said, the writing on this show is great generally, so I can overlook a little cheese once in a while.

    The Wolverine

    NFL players work out that much AND take steroids and most of them don't look like that. I realize that their goals are a bit different than a body builder, but I don't think a 44 year old gets that body just from working out.

    Yeah I don't have a problem with it, I just think it's interesting.

    Yesterday was my dog's 4th birthday.

    Herding breeds aren't the best pets for people who live in cities, but they are my favorite dog. Getting a smart border collie or australian shepherd with a talented trainer and you can't believe what they can do.

    This thread is already derailed. Spanish train derails, kills 78

    Nonsense. Google has cars that can drive safely on streets and highways without a driver with traffic lights, thousands of other drivers, dogs and deer and pedestrians etc. Trains are infinitely less complicated than that. The problem is that railroads are old ass companies with entrenched...

    This thread is already derailed. Spanish train derails, kills 78

    Trains only make sense in densely populated areas like Japan and parts of Europe. Each train needs to carry literally thousands of people a day to come close to breaking even. BART, the light rail system in the San Francisco Bay area is a great example. It's one of the best light rail systems...

    Yeah, it's a dog and pony show. Nothing real will come out of it, they just want some photo ops to placate the people who are paying attention enough to be upset about the surveillance.

    If they suddenly discovered that Quinn was a serial killer that would be the perfect expression of how this show has gone full retard.

    East of Salt Lake City is awesome gorgeous mountains and/or awesome gorgeous desert rock formations and such. West of Salt Lake is a trackless wasteland similar to the whole state of Nevada. It is most definitely a lot more geographically interesting than Illinois. I remember being pretty...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think she assumed (probably correctly) that Vorenus would kill her if he knew the truth, which would have been the appropriate reaction for a Roman man of the time.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Did I forget something that she did or are you all this angry about her having a baby with another guy when she thought Vorenus had been dead for years?

    The NSA watches you poop.

    The only way to have any real change is to stop voting for Republicans and Democrats. Obama is proof that you are just kidding yourself pretending there are any substantial difference between them. Of course Romney or McCain would have been just as bad if not worse. Until people get past the...

    She is hot. Loved her in Rome. I can't remember who Ellaria Sand is though, is she going to be screwing anybody?

    amanda berry found..more importantly, awesome black man in cleveland.

    There are cases where there is literally zero doubt of guilt. In the case I was a juror on, they had DNA evidence and two confessions. The defense made absolutely no attempt to suggest that he had not done the crime. I think he would have plead guilty if the DA had been willing to just give...
