    2014 Oscars

    Wow, I am agreeing with something astro said in the movie house. Yet another fucking award ceremony so Hollywood can pat itself on the back. I don't understand how people can get so into this.

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    No, a couple of years ago (after the new CBA) people were saying the cap was going to stagnate for a while then explode, as it appears to be doing. I think it is most relevant to those teams that just recently resigned their "franchise" QB's. As a percentage of the cap those contracts aren't...

    The Beer Thread

    Set $20 aside as the cost of the food (maybe a little high depending on the type/quality of the food, but I digress) and figure what, $5 per pint beer price? 11 beers in 4 hours, or just under 3 beers an hour? Seems very doable.

    There are some devices out there that will purge your growler of O2 making the shelf-life of an opened growler longer if you just want a pint from your growler. But as other have said, unless it is some beer you can't otherwise get off premise they usually aren't worth it. I personally just like...

    No Texas didn't formerly offer him anything, but a 10year/$100mil rumor with him as a candidate was running around for about a week or so after Mack Brown retired before Harbaugh stepped in and basically said "not interested."

    Yup, having been through one miscarriage already and having a very close friend lose a pregnancy at ~30 weeks, we are well aware of what can still go wrong (plus my wife works in L&D, so she has seen it all). But as others have posted, thanks for bringing it up again to reinforce that fact for...

    Amazing Spider-Man 2

    I'm pretty sure the kid playing Spider Man and all the stupid little noises and comments he makes as he is doing his thing are still going to annoy the shit out of me. But that trailer made Electro look legit.

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    Yes, I still torrent HBO, Showtime, etc. but I would pay for a subscription to HBO-Go if they offered it.

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    Harbaugh stuff is concerning. Guy has never really had a long tenure anywhere to begin with and most of the time when a coach is given GM powers it doesn't turn out well. Hopefully this is all just a money play because he wants the $10mil a year Texas was reportedly ready to pay him to return to...

    Auto refinancing.

    Yeah, that is a common trick they are using. They don't ask you how much you want to pay for your car, they ask you "what do you want your monthly payment to be?" then just extend the loan out as far as needed to get into that range while getting you into the most expensive car possible.

    Sounds like the Niners are close to resigning Boldin. Hopefully something cap friendly and short term. Niners don't make the playoffs without him last season and I think he is a great compliment to Crabtree. Niners still need more WR depth, although I'm not sure if that means trading up to get a...

    If you aren't bottling, don't bother with a bucket with a spigot, your siphon will work better for moving beer around from your different vessels. If it isn't an auto-siphon, I would recommend getting an auto-siphon but it isn't necessary. I am assuming when you say "brewers bucket" that it is...
