    The 80s kid thread

    I was in 2nd grade when the Challenger blew up. I went to a 1-room rural school that had an apartment for the teacher on the side and a parent called the school to tell us the shuttle blew up and we went into the teacher's apartment and watched the news coverage for the rest of the day. I...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I don't dislike Mayo, but I don't think it's worth the calories. I prefer mustard on sandwiches and if I do use anything it's mostly for waterproofing my bread on a burger or something and I usually use a 1/32" layer of light miracle whip.

    I have wished sometimes that my phone had better speakers when I want to show someone a funny YouTube video or something and the speaker is on the back of the phone and you can't fucking hear it even on max volume. My current phone is fine for that though, my shitty netbook on the other hand...

    It's hand-wringing white people for the most part. My cousin is married to an American Indian and while I haven't asked him about this topic specifically, I would bet $1000 he doesn't care. Even the phrase "native American" is mostly for uptight white people. I've never met an actual native...

    It would have helped if they dyed his hair black and gave him a beard. He will look more menacing in armor as well.

    The cheater method is to just buy a package of wonton wrappers and stick them together with egg wash. I have done that many times and they turn out well.

    I would be shocked if Spencer doesn't get another shot and I am totally on board. It would be great to see Tasha play again as well. I wonder if Tony would actually do it again since he seems to have had a lot of health problems after the game. It seems a little soon to bring back blood vs...

    I must be lucky then. I dropped my G2 from eye level onto a concrete shop floor a couple weeks ago. All it got was a little scuff on the corner. I also think cases are stupid and haven't had one for several years.

    Just make sure that the blade is wide enough that you can go all the way down to the board without your fingers hitting it. My Mom has some knives that are not quite wide enough and it drives me nuts whenever I chop something at her house.

    I think that this is true, which is why making some Android phones would probably be a great idea for them but they waited way too long to concede defeat on the operating system front and then got in bed with another failed platform (Windows Phone).

    Mad Men

    Yeah. I think they definitely love each other, but not in a romantic way and since both of them are pretty much incapable of sustaining a romantic relationship, I would rather see them just remain friends and be a great team. The two of them starting their own agency with Pete might be the...

    That's not making money on phones. They don't make phones anymore since microsoft took the cash-hemorrhaging devices and services division. Nokia will go on as a company, but they don't make phones anymore. The patent licensing and maps shit is not what we're talking about. "Look at all...

    Tarrant, you are really and truly a retard. Just read the wikipedia page about the last 4 years at Nokia. It's the picture of a healthy company. They laid of 24,000 employees, they are losing money, they fired their CEO and then sold the company to Microsoft, their stock price is in...

    Great episode. Don and Peggy being friends again makes me much happier than a relationship between fictional people should. I hope that they don't wind up in a romantic relationship but I don't think they will. Their relationship is based on mutual respect between coworkers and I can't really...

    I hate it when people say "it's just a tax writeoff". Sure he would have had to pay $500k of that in taxes anyway, but it's not like he's coming out ahead in the deal. Tax brackets have nothing to do with it since you only pay the higher tax rates on the money you make above the bracket...

    I actually laughed out loud at this post. First, I thought they didn't give a shit, now they do? And going from #1 in smartphones to basically zero in 3 years is not what I would call "trending down a bit".

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    Everything about cars is way better. Adam Carolla claims that a stock Toyota Camry can beat a 70s Lamborghini in the quarter mile. The only disappointment to me is that gas mileage hasn't really improved that much in the last couple decades.
