    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Serious question: is AMC one of those "fringe" channels that wouldn't be profitable if it wasn't bundled? Feel free to exclude the walking dead in your made up calculations because fuck that show.

    Pulled pork is kind of a cheat though. Almost all of those are very much sandwich only. Pulled pork can be eaten just by itself, thus it doesn't lend itself well in comparison to other sandwiches. Notice that meatball, caprese, and crab cake didn't make it far either. Unrelated:

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Unless you want to get married in a french castle too, how is that not a big neon warning sign to not marry that woman? She ain't going to stop at just an extravagant wedding.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    My dad mowing my lawn for me(I didn't ask) and doing a really good job at it. So good, he mowed the long tufts of grass I was using the mark things like the water main cap. Now I have no easy-to-spot markers for "don't mow here" and a bent crankshaft

    Universal remote?

    I'm pretty sure the original Vizio remote that came with my TV has both IR and bluetooth transmitters. I'm assuming that's what the shiny plastic in the front is for. Is two transmitters really that much money? I'd gladly pay a bit more if it meant an easier transition to bluetooth.

    Universal remote?

    Both remotes are bluetooth. It's an awesome feature and I don't understand why IR persists. Why would bluetooth make it hard to find a universal remote?

    Universal remote?

    Anyone have recommendations for a good universal remote? Specifically, I'm looking to control a Vizio that's ~3 years old and a Boxee Box. Yes, that's a weird combination so I'm fully aware that this type of product doesn't exist. The boxee remote has been wigging out for a while, half the...

    Smartphones

    8gb might be too small. As for faster, better, etc, I get along just fine with a galaxy nexus now. Honestly, if I could buy a device that did gps, music, and phone calls, I'd be pretty happy. My smartphone really doesn't have to do much. My tablet picks up most of the slack now.

    It's been rumored that the nexus 5 will be released at the end of the month. Additionally, an LTE version of the nexus 4 is speculated due to some recent FCC filing. Which would you buy? Assuming the 4 stays at $200 and the 5 is $350. I might go with the cheaper one, just worried about the...

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I misused the word "providers". I meant cable companies, i.e.: middle man leeches.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I really think that's the wrong way to look at it. A wedding is not a financial transaction between the hosts and the guests(unless you're Italian). Between travel and lodging for the guests and hosting for the main couple, pretty much everyone loses. It's big party and scale it accordingly...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I guess? The bread machine doesn't require any cleaning? I mean, banana bread is really simple. Wet ingredients in a bowl, buzz it with a stick blender(I hate chunks of banana, ruins the texture of the bread), stir in the flour, being careful not to overmix(how does the breadmixer ensure...

    Doubtful. Well, it might lead to that eventually, but that's certainly not the impetus here. I'm betting HBO is the lone exception to a-la-carte costing providers more money.

    I somewhat understand the cheapness. Look at it from their perspective. I don't know how remote they are, but a family of 5 does not travel trivially. Couple hotel rooms(maybe 1 if you put someone on a cot), food not at the reception, gas. They're out ~$400 just to attend. Hope none of the...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I use a Rosewill USB 2T2R that I bought ~4 years ago. Works just fine. 2Mbps sounds like the adapter is stuck in UBS 1.0 mode. Can you ensure that the port you've plugged it into is running in USB 2.0 mode? Put a USB drive in the same port and see how fast a large file copies.

    Commuting to and from work

    Yes, but if the cars can talk to the traffic light, it can be greatly improved. I don't think a camera can tell if a person is turning right(on red). At least, I don't think a camera economically feasible for a traffic light can. Also, I honestly don't know the range on traffic cameras. But...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    People that ask "how's it going?" as you walk past each other in hallway. You can't lead off with that, so the exchange goes: Hey Hey, how's it going? Good, and you? Good. By the end of the third line, we're already past each other and now either have to slow down or talk louder like...

    This is probably going to come out horribly formatted. Also, these are changes only. So earlier datamined changes are not reflected here. Ugh, it is horribly formatted.

    Nulolan, my apologies, I didn't mean to imply that "patch notes" meant I read them off the client. Someone else datamined the patch and posted the changes on diablofans.com. If you can't visit that site from work, I'll copy/paste it for you in a spoiler. Agreed Bixxby. Though...

    Diablo 3 - Reaper of Souls

    New beta patch notes are up. Just from reading the monk and barb sections, looks like they're trying to slightly nerf how much resources generators generate. IDK, seems a bit weird to tune those down. Lots of other changes too. Not happy if they actually removed the base 25% movement speed...

    Perhaps not automated cars, but I would love traffic lights that were contextually aware. I've got two lights on my commute that are hair trigger sensor lights. If anyone, just one fucking car, shows up on at the perpendicular intersection, the light immediately changes. Fuck those 5-10 cars...

    Home remedies that work

    Speaking of shaving, I ran out of shaving creme recently and decided to use my body wash instead. Lubricates much better since I get much less tugging when the razor starts to dull and I don't spend time banging all the hair out of the razor. That's probably the best part, just swish it in the...

    That's fair enough, I'll accept that you can obtain that kind of physique at home. I didn't mean to conflate going to the gym as a requirement. I had assumed that her career was fitness based because of the adverts on the shirts. If she's doing this on the side while being a mother, I take...
