    Smartphones

    On my Thunderbolt (stock ROM), I used to have battery issues (more so than just the normal shitty battery life on that phone) with the camera. If I was using the camera and I hit the home button rather than exiting out of it, the camera would run in the background or something chewing up...

    Smartphones

    It does look like an awesome phone. I love what they have done with the camera. Rather than playing into the more mega-pixels = better pictures myth they have actually decreased the mega-pixels and just said "trust us, this thing takes better pictures than just about any phone on the market"...

    Fleet GPS Trackers

    I don't know if you ever came up with a solution to this or not, but I stumbled upon this little gizmo and it might do what you need plus it might help with some extra expense tracking. http://www.automatic.com/

    Should tell all those faculty members and freaked out students that they should attend a college that is a gun free zone.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Not this year, they don't. Plus they are loaded on picks not only this year, but for the next couple years (I believe). Gives them a chance to replenish the ranks with cost-controlled options.

    Especially for the Niners who have a truck-load of picks and no roster spots for any of them.

    Price for Boldin seems low because he has a $7 million + salary cap hit this coming season.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Yeah, but the Seattle offense that played the first 4 games is not the same one that finished the year last season. Seattle had the unfortunate circumstance that had them play @ their NFC West rivals twice in the first 4 weeks and three times in the first 8 weeks of the season with a rookie QB...

    Newest rumor is that Seattle is in talks to get Brett Farve out of retirement to complete their acquisition of the 2009 Minnesota passing attack.

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    I think this is a good 2013 move for Seattle. They already had a good chance to take the West if the team stood pat this off-season. Where things will get complicated for Seattle is what this move does to their cap in 2014 and beyond. They got some rookie contracts that will be up including...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    Seattle is stocked up on picks, second most behind SF this year I believe (before this trade). That plus Seattle's ability to find diamonds-in-the-rough in the draft probably makes it so most Seattle fans aren't worried. I will never accuse Seattle fans of being rational about anything when it...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    That's right! Opiate82- breaking NFL news on Rerolled since March 2013! *edit: Eagerly awaiting details. No doubt Harvin upgrades Seattles offense, but a 1st + other picks + possibly big contract... should be interesting to see how this plays out.

    Handguns

    I am outdoors a lot, so when I consider having a gun for "self defense" I am also thinking of cougars and bears. Obviously some sort of rifle or shotgun would be much more effective but that isn't always practical when hiking or mountain biking. (Ran into cougars twice now while mountain...

    Handguns

    For CC purposes I would stick with a .45 of some sort. But I would look at picking up some sort of 9mm for target practice at some point. My favorite to shoot is my great grandpas military issued Colt 1911. He put some sort of fancy competition trigger on it and it is a dream to shoot...

    The Beer Thread

    If there is one thing to give credit to BMC for is that they help perpetuate a lot of brewing innovations that are used today. The only reason Dogfish-Head beer makes it to the west coast is because Budweiser basically invented (and created a demand for) the refrigerated train car. I know a...

    The Girls Who Broke Your Heart Thread

    Double-edged sword there. I can see why you would want to take it slow, showing that your interest is more than just a hook-up. However, if she wants sex and/or thinks the relationship has progressed to the point where you should be having sex and aren't, she may take it as a sign that you...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    WA, they come down because our milk is subsidized so it is much cheaper (same with gas). They go to Costco and load up as much milk (and gas) as they can fit in their trunk. They will then either freeze it or sell it to their neighbors. There was a Facebook page that got up to like 10,000...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    What is funny is that we get a lot of Canadians coming down to buy our milk where I live and this is a trade-mark Canadian driver move. 10 mph under the speed limit in the passing lane, 20mph over the speed limit in the slow lane. I always assumed they just couldn't figure out how to convert...

    Gun control

    Most evidence actually shows that handling foods that are going to be cooked w/o gloves is actually safer than if they wear gloves. You are more aware of what is on your hands and more likely to wash them where as people accidentally brush their gloved hands against grossness but are never...

    Question using my TV as a 3rd monitor.......50 feet away

    I know on my HTPC I have to enable a setting in the Sound menu to get HDMI sound to work (pretty sure when you go to the Sound menu under playback devices an HDMI option pops up when I plug in an HDMI cable). But otherwise, yeah, should be able to get it over the HDMI w/o any other sort of...

    House of Cards

    Watched the whole thing. Thought it was pretty awesome. The "talking into the camera" thing threw me off at first but it quickly grew on me. A much more interesting way to get a persons internal thoughts rather than "stare at the ceiling and listen to an echo-y voice over." I hope this...

    For something portable, I usually use a monopod. Much easier to carry around on a hike or what not and can usually still get me steady enough to use slow shutter speeds for things such as waterfalls. Honestly, for things like posting on forums and Facebook and what not, I don't get to bothered...

    Haven't seen that new Stone yet, but I'm going to be sure to ask my local bottle shop about it next time I am in. Stone IPA is always on my IPA short list and Ruination is second only to Firestone Doublejack on my favorite double IPA's list.

    Should you tip the waitress and how much thread

    It's more for restaurant owners, not employees. Other than employee recruitment (which would be a non-factor if tipping wasn't the norm) there is really no advantage or disadvantage to a tipping culture for the owners.

    I was 15 when I took the trip so specific details have been long flushed out of my memory, but I had a blast in Ireland. It was a tour bus with a wide age-range of people, but our tour guide took us off the beaten path and got us good and drunk at local pubs while also making sure we also hit...
