    Las Vegas

    Does anyplace in Vegas still have $5 craps tables? I love to play craps but I get in over my head on a $10 minimum table.

    Even if you could get Netflix to stream decently, it would kill your data cap for the month in one night of watching TV. My video streaming is pretty much limited to 240p youtube videos and not too many of them.

    I think you should do your own packing. That is your only chance to throw away all the worthless shit in your house that has accumulated over the years.

    Kind of like "fun size" candy bars. What's so fun about my snickers bar only being an inch and a half long?

    Weather

    It's been a wacky winter here. We've had alternating weeks where one week it barely breaks zero degrees the whole week, and then weeks like this one where it's pushing 50 above. It's been either unseasonably warm or brutally cold with not much in between.

    If you can get LTE and it has a decent data cap then it's a no-brainer. You don't want satellite unless you have no other option. I say this as someone who has been on satellite for the last 5 years. Latency is near 1 second and will never get better unless they reduce the time it takes radio...

    If it makes you feel any better, I am paying $79.99 for 3/.128 and I have a 17GB download cap on a 30 day rolling window. If I go over the cap, they throttle me to .128/.128 until my cap number gets to 70% which inexplicably always takes 3 weeks. The main upside to it is that I can make...

    Even though there is no reasonable use for that much bandwidth, I like that they just say "we can make it this fast so we're making it this fast". Nice change from the Comcasts of the world that would like to just increase your speed by 10 mbps every few years when they feel like bumping the...

    I was at a baby shower once (as in, kid isn't born yet) and the kid's uncle got them this $600 electric car that the kid can drive around the yard. Great job man, get a gift that takes up a shitload of room and the kid won't be able to use for 4 years. If someone got me something like that for...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This isn't all wrong, but the difference is that girls can't just casually fuck without the feelings setting in hard and fast, and the ones that can are usually broken in some way or another.

    I missed seasons when I lived in California, or even just weather. Nothing ever happens weather-wise in the Bay Area except wind all the fucking time.

    It's going to be weird if he doesn't get drafted or gets cut in training camp or something. I would think teams would avoid drafting him just because they don't want the scrutiny or the media circus.

    Smartphones

    I forgot to mention that the double-tap to turn on is so great that after one day I don't want to ever have a phone without it. That is good because the buttons on the back of the phone are retarded, especially since they didn't even make them tactile enough that you can tell which one you're...

    I don't have 4G at my house. I had to go to town to set it up, 50 miles away. Once in a while I can get 3G on top of a big hill around here but that's it.

    So I finally got my G2 activated and set up today. It's a solid upgrade in every way to my Galaxy Nexus. The screen looks so much better when you hold them side by side that it's really striking. I haven't played with the camera much but I took one low light shot and one macro shot that made...

    Watering grass in your yard is the absolute most useless waste of water on the planet. If you live in Seattle or something then sure, have a lawn but if you're in a desert where water is scarce then using it on your lawn is just a ridiculous thing to do.

    What's the problem? You just want to return the phone for a warranty replacement and you don't want them to know you fucked with the OS? Couldn't you just smash the screen and say that was why you were returning it?

    Within half an hour, snipers opened fire on a nearby electrical substation. Shooting for 19 minutes, they surgically knocked out 17 giant transformers that funnel power to Silicon Valley. A minute before a police car arrived, the shooters disappeared into the night. I don't know how...

    Minor car accident - now with ambulance chasing law firm

    I had a situation when I lived in Phoenix where I pulled out of a taco bell drive-thru and stopped at a red light. I was looking in my taco bell bag to make sure that the stuff I ordered was all there and my foot slipped off the brake and the car rolled forward and bumped a mini-van in front of...

    Minor car accident - now with ambulance chasing law firm

    The max amount that they will cover you for with liability does vary between policies. I just got the cheapest car insurance I could find when I got out of college and years later I found out that it only covered me on liability up to $100,000 which is a joke if you are found at fault in a...

    Agreed. If people are willing to ignore pretty much all branches of natural science and say that the world is 6000 years old, they're not going to have any trouble ignoring Bill Nye and declaring their guy the winner no matter what is said by either of them. I don't know why Nye would bother...

    Believe it or not, the best fast food chicken strips are at Arby's now. At least at the local one here they never cook them ahead of time. It's always a 5 minute wait but they are always crunchy and hot as hell.
