Pretty crazy week of football. Also it was nice to see my fellow 49er fans in this thread whining their way through another win. Right now the only team I fear in the playoffs is the Seahawks. I am rooting for the Panthers to beat Seattle in Seattle. They are the only team aside from the...

You can say a lot of things about Cowboys fans but you can't call them front runners at this point.

Thanks. It needs to be rubber. It's to go into a panel on the back of my flatbed pickup truck and I don't think those plastic desk things are going to hold up. I'm sort of rethinking the whole thing. Somehow I need this connector: With a couple of 4 guage wires coming out of it...

Yeah, it's sad that they didn't come back an episode earlier. Now it's going to basically be someone to keep Cierra company while the other three are on the last reward together.

Grainger has like 150 different round grommets, but nothing like this that I can find.

I'm looking for a grommet like this one. It needs to be big enough to fit a large (2"x1" rectangular) connector through and the more heavy duty the better. So far the only websites I have found with them are a german one where you have to call to request a quote (meaning they don't want...

Or maybe a sushi wrapper.

I know why they do it, but it's lazy writing. If you can't figure out how to tell a story without having completely unrealistic conversations where one person explains something to someone who obviously already knows it then you should probably try harder.

Ha! I forgot about ogre walls. We actually tried that on Tunare once. Don't recall that it worked worth a damn but it was very entertaining.

Good one, but it's not just catching other people, it's also catching yourself while you are falling with your fingertips on a ledge. People are constantly falling 10 or 15 feet and then catching themselves with their fingertips on a ledge or with one hand on a pipe or something even though no...

I agree, Gervase has no chance. He never goes in front of the jury without making an ass of himself. Not stupid, just a douche. I think everyone else has a shot. If Cierra makes it to the end she is definitely in my top 10 all time favorite players. Pulling an individual immunity win out of...

I would be with you if I hadn't heard of something like this happening day before yesterday. Newlyweds Accused of Thrill-Kill Craigslist Murder - ABC News Dude gets into a car with a hooker/escort. Her husband is in the back seat under a blanket. Husband pops up and wraps an extension...

Me too. It would be absolutely retarded for Jax to have made that whole deal with the DA if he was just going to kill Tara. It makes no sense that he would do it, but the fact that he dropped his gun on the floor and then the DA stared intensely at it makes me worry that we're going down the...

That's a good one too. An overturned kitchen table or sofa can take hundreds of rounds and none of them will get through. In fact a lot of bad guys use guns that have no effect at all aside from making noise.

I mentioned it in the Homeland thread, but also people being drowned, strangled, or suffocated in seconds, and of course the "rotate someone's head 45 degrees and cause instant death" thing that somehow all military trained people know how to do. An old standby is people being knocked...

Oh and all knives make the sound of a sword coming out of a steel sheath when you pull them out and make a whooshing noise when you wave it around.

-Semis in movies honk their horn constantly and it always makes the same doppler effect sound. -People are always explaining things to people who should already know them: "Dave, you're my brother, and we grew up poor in Louisiana and our dad used to molest us, but.." Dave is probably...

Depressing episode but as soon as I heard "the plan" I knew there was no way that was going to happen. If it was the series finale there might have been some chance that it was going to go down that way but knowing there was going to be another season there was a 100% chance that it was going...

First the rubbing, then the eating. The eating is not for medicinal reasons, I was just hungry.

Not going to be a revolution in an America where the "poor" all have flat screens and an obesity problem. Things have to get a *lot* worse for something like that. There have been revolutions for ideological reasons, the original American revolution was one of them, but the population is way...

Hey guys I just diagnosed myself with AIDS and cured myself with yams. Took less than 15 minutes and that includes microwaving the yams.

I agree with those saying it has gotten better every season. S4 was excellent and S1 was the weakest of the series IMO.

Shameless has shit writing IMO and has for a couple seasons. The Emily Rossum nude scenes are too few and far between to make it worth sitting through. Weeds was horrible for like 6 straight seasons. I don't know how it stayed on television for so long.

Can't wait.

It seems reasonable that when you're being told that your second in command is a CIA operative that you might not know who you can trust with that info so maybe he didn't want one of his guards to hear and possibly alert Javadi.

Yeah the big green egg has the heat source at the bottom. If you want to smoke in it you need what they call a "plate setter" for indirect heat. I also use a stoker: Rock's Bar-B-Que - Home To control the heat. My point is that I have like $1500 in this setup and as a grill it's...

Word Count: 94 Fuck Count: 8 Congratulations! Your post was 8.5% fuck!

Metric doesn't "lend itself" to being done in decimal, they just are. You can measure inches in decimals just as easily and that's what mechanical engineers do. Like I said earlier in the thread, I think it's stupid that bolts and rulers and such are in fractions instead of tenths of an inch...

What the fuck are you talking about? There aren't different measurements for amps, volts, or ohms in metric vs. imperial. EDIT: Also, you examples are easier because you're using decimals instead of fractions, it has nothing to do with imperial vs. metric. And there is no plausible...

I don't know where you guys are getting the idea that all engineering is done in metric. I was an electrical engineer so I didn't have much use for measurements but I worked with mechanical engineers on a daily basis. Nothing that they did was metric. They did use 10th, 100ths, 1000ths of an...

I get it, but it still makes me laugh along with other agreed-upon Hollywood conventions like causing instant death by rotating someone's head 45 degrees, guns that don't run out of bullets, and a single blow to the head causing unconsciousness for however long it is convenient for the plot...

The kicking team isn't allowed to advance the ball after the kick unless someone from the receiving team has touched it. The fact that this kick only happened to go 2 feet doesn't change that. I didn't understand that situation either. I guess maybe since the blocker touched it then it's a...

I don't think anyone would bat an eye at a female tourist wandering around Tehran. Iranian women don't typically walk alone but that doesn't necessarily extend to foreigners. Even in more strict areas like Saudi Arabia it's not fucking Taliban country. They understand that foreigners don't...

He records video in portrait mode so he's obviously retarded.

You used this device to fly to outer space and get fries?

Keep a family of maggots in your mouth. They will eat the infection.

Just watched "Jay-Z Made in America". Ron Howard doc about Jay-Z's music festival in Philadelphia. Good story with lots of different kinds of good music. Needs to be watched someplace with a good sound system if at all possible. Currently playing on Showtime. Check it out.

Which is exactly why they are expensive. If tablet prices are any indication, these things should cost $2-300 off contract max, but thanks to the lack of competition the cell phone companies can charge what they want. Motorola isn't going to piss off their biggest customer (Verizon) even if...
