    True Detective

    I'm going to have to start doing this. It's sort of a tradition for me going back to Deadwood that when I'm watching a great drama on Sunday night the experience is enhanced by having some wine or bourbon while I watch it. This works for Mad Men, Game of Thrones, even Homeland, but this show...

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    I don't think you realize how bad 1Mbit is now. It's not that you won't be able to stream HD, you will be pausing for loading multiple times in a 3 minute low-res youtube video. Forget Netflix at 1Mbit. It's too painful to be worth using. You need to have at least 3 Mbit to have a remotely...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Dude takes a gigantic conclusion that is not in evidence and cherry picks a few things that may or may not be consistent with that conclusion. It's interesting to think about, but my mind remains unblown.

    True Detective

    It's interesting that someone has speculated every shitty soap opera plot twist imaginable. I hope none of them are what's going to happen. The show has been so well written so far, I can't really imagine that they will end it like that.

    If it wasn't dry then leaving it longer will make it more tender. It will eventually just fall apart on it's own.

    The Far Side

    I too have the hardbound books with all the cartoons. One of the best gifts my brother has ever gotten me. Best comic strip ever. This is one of my favorites.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Nice of them to lower the price the day after they shipped the pre-orders :P. I still just paid $34.99 but that is kind of cheesy of them to punish you for pre-ordering.

    Yeah, you're not supposed to cook a pot roast medium rare and you better have some strong teeth if you do. Don't worry about the internal temp, you're good as long as it doesn't dry out.

    It's also sort of like stealing the Mona Lisa. It's not like you can get the thing and put it on Ebay the next day. Obviously there are few enough of them that everyone is going to know the sword and where it came from so you can't really just walk around with it and not expect to get caught...

    I said that I have personally been in other locker rooms where this went on, and cited a book about the same thing and worse happening in the 49ers and Cowboys locker rooms. Nice name calling though. Seriously, have you guys never been in an environment where there are a bunch of young...

    Yeah, because when the media and the league and possibly the cops are getting ready to blow the shit out of the Dolphins, there's no motivation to say "nothing to see here" about your own team.

    I have no doubt that the lawyers can get into this and make some people write checks over it. I just don't like Incognito being character assassinated in the media as some horrible person. He was just a football player acting like a football player and I would bet that he had genuine affection...

    Stupid assholes that are ruining it for the rest of us. We need to find that dude and kick him in the nuts. It would be for his own good because there's no way he's going to do that every year and now if he says with the chick she's going to be disappointed every year after that.

    Don't be a retard and pretend that NFL locker rooms are remotely similar to a business environment. The fact that they make them put on suits to do interviews after the game doesn't mean that it's a professional environment.

    If you are quoting that as something shocking then I am sure you haven't spent much time in locker rooms. I'm not saying Incognito isn't a dick. I'm saying that dicks like that are normal on a football team. I wasn't even on the football team but I used to lift weights with those guys all...

    Hehe yeah, I was actually thinking that Romania isn't the first thing that pops into your head when you think of countries that really have their shit together. It's pretty striking that they have world class internet service. I would have assumed that Romanian computers were steam powered and...

    Everything I read about this confirms my initial impression. Martin was a huge pussy that should have been in the drama club and not the football team. He was cursed with a huge athletic body but not the mindset to go with it. Maybe Incognito and his buddies should have realized that, but I...

    I don't know shit about this stuff, but I do know there are still tons of people subscribing to the internet and doing next to nothing with it. Pretty much everyone I know over 40 just uses facebook and literally nothing else or maybe Facebook and Gmail. I was talking to a guy yesterday that...

    FWIW, there is aCamera Threadin the Product Reviews thread. If I was in the market for a camera right now, I would definitely go mirrorless. The disadvantages are quickly disappearing and DSLRs are going to be a thing of the past before long. From what I've read, Sony is making the best ones...

    I'm not sure they will be that unhappy. Comcast has plenty of people who dislike them, but I don't think they are nearly as universally hated by their customers as TWC.

    You can make an argument for institutional bias based on race and/or socioeconomic status but by no means are we putting people in prison based on race.

    If the guy is going to be a star in the NFL then teams will want him regardless of any drama that might come with him. This kid is projected as a 4th or 5th rounder though, which doesn't tip the scales as much as a guy like Big Ben or Ray Lewis.

    The local telephone co-op has set up LTE towers in some of the rural areas around here in lieu of providing wired broadband. It seems like a pretty decent option but they told me that it wouldn't be feasible in my area because there are too many hills.

    Customers should get organized and flood their customer service with complaints about it. You can always threaten to switch to DSL even if you are not actually willing to do that.
