    The Video Thread

    I have said this before in another thread, but until you have been to an accident scene where someone wasn't wearing their seatbelt and/or helmet and you have had to help clean up that mess, don't pretend like not wearing a seatbelt or helmet only affects you. I have a couple of firefighter...

    Smartphones

    I would say current available at retailers right now, it is a toss-up between the S4 and the HTC One. I personally would look at an S4 Active, but I'm willing to make the small trade-offs for a phone I can go swimming with. On the horizon, the new LG phone (G2 I think) looks to be the cream...

    Bicycling

    Any riding advice is going to be trail dependent. But get out of your saddle and get your ass behind it will help you ride most things. I can't tell you how many times I've ended up with tread-marks on my ass... Other than that, some basic cleaning stuff will keep you bike in better shape...

    MLB 2013 season

    So Ichiro has 4,000 combined hits between here and Japan now. I personally think he should be a first-ballot hall of famer for what he has done here alone, but would be curious to see how other people feel about his potential HoF credentials.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Is this going back to the plan where you are paying the guy store credit or are you paying him an actual wage? Also, just keep track of how much it is costing you and/or if you are still bringing people in with it (you tracking it somehow since you know people are coming in days later?). I...

    With lube, no time at all (I go off-handed all the time). Without lube, probably a month. Another fill in the blank style (story required): My body and ______ don't mix?

    Portland? As a moving destination, not for travel

    QFT. I have never had a better time at a strip club then when I was at Devil's Point. Stay away from the after-hours clubs though, no booze and beer bellies. Ugh.

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    When my now wife first moved in with me, I paid the bills and she gave me money. More often then not it was less than her share but it was more because I told her to give me X amount of dollars rather than her abusing her girl status. I should point out she moved into a house that I owned and...

    Operation: Adebisi O'Mara

    Just write her a bad review on Yelp and move on. Probably won't be worth the $300 for the amount of effort you will have to put into pursuing it (although I admittedly don't know shit about Canada small-claims law).

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Ever since I got a Jetta TDI I can't believe how often people will skip all the other empty pumps and block the diesel one. Then they mad-dog me when I pull up behind them waiting for them to clear out so I can actually get fuel.

    Fantasy Football 2013 Advice Thread

    Yeah, really to know what a good draft strategy is for your league we'd probably need to see all the actual scoring rules. And info like what was the difference in points between the 1st ranked QB vs the 14th ranked QB and the point difference between the 1st, 14th and 28th ranked RBs. The...

    For PPR I would look at Sproles and Bush. Also Morris and Jackson *might* fall to you based on the description of your league. Also, I hate to go there but I have a good feeling about Chris Johnson this year. He isn't going to be back to CJ2K form, but I bet he'll be a steal in most drafts.

    Honestly never been in that boat in my life so I don't have any sage words of wisdom for you. Maybe stick to old fashions until you know each other a little better and it is easier to broach the subject?

    Yeah, I agree that the Herp is a big deal, but at the same time it isn't. There is also a big difference between a cold sore and getting fucking sores on your junk (that would suck). But you are right that a huge percentage of people have it and it can be worked around. Still, if you are...

    Condom isn't 100% reliable for stopping some STD's, especially something like Herpes (which is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact rather than bodily fluids). I don't see any harm in asking and if it were me I would rather wait for a test than risk getting the herps. 1/6 Americans have...

    2013 NFL Season

    Seems like Baldwin will match-up better against the big physical secondaries out in the NFC West but if the Niners are going that route they will need to find another way to keep the safeties honest or their run game will suffer since their isn't much of a deep threat outside of VD atm.

    Lynch's DUI issue won't come into play this season. His hearing has been pushed back till I think the end of December now and the league won't act until after that. If you aren't taking Peterson/Foster, Lynch would be up next on my board, although I wouldn't fault anyone for leaning Spiller...

    Two major problems with you analogy. First is everyone knows who Hulk Hogan is and why he is dressed like a gay Asian, second is Hulk is in your avatar, which is much easier for someone to hide if they are browsing in public. But you keep on keeping on internet tough guy. I am sure you will...

    Doesn't matter where the picture is from, it doesn't change the fact that anyone browsing the NFL thread from a public place is going to look like they are surfing for some sort of gay Asian personals. I get that is it safe for work, but doesn't mean it belongs. And it's obvious what you are...

    Manager wanting to change work hours on you -- what to do?

    There are basically two things that can happen here. First off, you tell them you can't/won't work said hours, then they can either say "okay, well we won't schedule you then" or they can schedule you then and say "whelp, you are scheduled, show up or it counts as a no-show and you will be...

    Yeah, you could use adblock to get rid of it, but you shouldn't have to adblock somebodies sig. Just wait till the trend catches on and you have to keep setting adblock on sigs as more people get on board or as those who have the gay sigs rotate in new ones. They can either be reasonable or be...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    You'd probably see a very odd scatter-plot of results. Take the courthouse marriage (no-cost option), that can either be the couple where neither one of them gives a fuck about money and will be perfectly happy the rest of their lives, or you have the trailer-trash couple doing the...

    Commercial Kitchen pest problems

    Can always try setting traps/paper/whatever up overnight and during prep time then taking them down when you are open. Otherwise, send someone around shooting them down with windex (not around food obviously). Does a good number on them but is a daily chore.

    Yeah, haven't really seen the bigger tires trend hit the DH/FR bikes at all. I have demoed a few 29ers and I personally am sticking with 26" tires for my bike. I think the 29ers are too sluggish in turns and I can manipulate my 26" better. But I can definitely see the pros of the 29ers...

    Yes, but they really will need to be looking into locking up at least one, if not both Dalton and Green next year. Unless you plan on tagging one of them (which obviously comes with its own headaches) you generally don't want them to get to FA.

    While all that is true, the big difference is that it takes quite a bit more force to cause a crack in the carbon than it does aluminum. If your aluminum frame took a hit with the same force that it took to crack a carbon frame your aluminum frame will be suffering a catastrophic failure...

    Buddy I play softball with thought the pull-out method was valid contraception. He now has twins with a bat-shit insane baby momma. No method is 100%, if you don't want kids don't fuck. Seems pretty simple.
