    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Not sure what there is to defend. That move will probably make him more money than QB'ing will, even if he turns out to be decent.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    No I haven't. He isn't any more likely to suffer an injury due to his running than a QB like Aaron Rodgers. They both run the ball just as often once you take out the outliers like the Green Bay game (unless you think he is going to pull a hammy on those wide open runs). The reason running...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Every once in awhile, stepping in is necessary. Happens to me about every 5 years or so. I always have to remind myself that it is easy to get caught up in the short-term improvements that happen to the business when I step in. I am pretty much always going to be able to do the job of...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    There wasn't really anything to "figure out." All the DC's knew what was going on. And a good defensive line can shut down read/option on both fronts. Baltimore was doing a pretty good job of it in the Superbowl until Ngata went down. I'm sure some defensive coordinator is going to come up...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    No he doesn't. The read-option is a decoy in the 49ers offense to take one of the guys stacked in the box against Gore out because he is forced to contain Kaep. The only time he keeps the ball is when it is wide open and he rarely takes hits when he does. Kaep doesn't run the ball any more...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    A.) I think people are just getting "Lightning Lord" and "Lord of Light" confused with each other. B.) I am not sure that Dondarrion has specifically been referred to as the Lightning Lord in the show (could constitute a spoiler).

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Nobody knows wtf you are talking about over in the spoiler-free thread, which is probably a good thing. Lightning Lord= Beric Dondarrion (his sigil is lightning) Lord of Light= R'hllor, alternatively known as the Lord of Light, and the Red God

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    That is all easily derived from the TV show. (Although Mel says it's "Davos" who needs to see the display of power because she knows it was him behind talking Stannis out of the sacrifice.) Unrustle your jimmies.

    Ned calls Joffrey the bastard child of Cersei/Jaime, so yes, still considered bastards even if parents are both nobles.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Mel wants to sacrifice Gendry. Davos talked Stannis out of allowing this for now. Stannis is demanding a demonstration of the power of Gendry's blood before he makes a final decision on whether to allow him to be sacrificed.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    If I was just paying Corndog (and possibly his one other part time employee) I would probably spend less than 4 hours a year (total time) on taking care of payroll for his business. Granted, I already have the accounting software, but at $75 a month that is paying someone $225 an hour to take...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Since he is going corp and paying himself a salary I am pretty sure he has to follow all of the rules that he would for his regular employees. I am not positive on this, but it is how I do it. Taxes need to be sent in based on how often you pay yourself. You will need to make your 941...

    MLB 2013 season

    The difference is, the Rangers could go 162-0 and sweep the playoffs and the World Series and all you would be able to do is bitch about Washington's bullpen usage during mop up duty from a game in June against Houston.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Sometimes I think this show would be better to watch as a marathon after all the episodes have aired. Each season there have been what seem like filler or slow episodes that seem that way because we only get 1 hour a week, but when the seasons wrap up they have their purpose. Pacing is much...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    The one other major downside to Square is if you take a lot of keyed-in entries (e.g. credit cards over the phone). They charge 3.5% + $0.15 per transaction on those, even if you are on the $275 per month plan. Those are rape-level rates there. On top of that, they will only deposit ~$2,000...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    With the flat rate, there are also monthly and yearly limits. I don't know what the monthly limits are (guessing around $20k), but the yearly cap is $250k. So basically if you process between $120,000-$250,000 per year, the flat monthly fee is more cost efficient. Although, if you go over...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    It is actually $275 a month flat-rate or 2.75% per transaction. So he would have to be doing over $10,000 a month in credit card sales to come out ahead by taking the flat monthly fee.

    A lot of the X-Art stuff is very "woman friendly" and also readily available via torrents. Also, I have found that as cheesy as the plots can be, sometimes girls like that shit just to laugh at and lighten the mood a bit. So something along the lines of Pirates might also be a good...

    Vikings

    I really enjoyed this show, more than I thought I would. Agree that the finale felt more like "... that's it?" more than it did "WTF THAT'S IT?!?! NOOOOO!!!!" but I am still looking forward to next season. Not sure what is more distracting, the Ragnar smirk or the Jax Teller bro walk.

    The Beer Thread

    Most ales are suppose to be served on the warmer side (40-45). It will definitely subdue some of the hoppy flavors and aromas when chilled below that. Also as beer is aged at either cellar (or in your case, room) temperatures the general flavor profile will become less hoppy and more malty...

    It is kind of a weird place for the big 3. In WA, any beer sold in state is subject to the excise tax (even the big 3's). The advantage they have is that they only have to pay it on the fraction of the beer sold in state, unlike our local brewers who basically have to pay it on all the beer...
