But why would they do that? They aren't rich, and since half of them are lawyers it's not like they don't have other ways to make money. I don't doubt that they make a living off of their lawsuits, but the idea that they would spend their whole lives cynically pretending to be crazy just to...

Just to make you all feel better about your ISP, this is what $79.99 gets you when you live in the sticks. Did I mention the 17GB download cap?

No one gives a shit what brand of shirt their fish store guy is wearing.

Wow, monster game for Kaepernick. His big run was ridiculous, ran away from everyone on the field. Whatever happens next week, no one is going to give Harbaugh shit about benching Alex Smith after that game in the playoffs. As great as it would be to whip Seattle in SF in the NFC...

Rumor has it that Aldon Smith was playing hurt the last couple games as well but they kept it quiet and he's supposedly doing better now. If both of them are at least 80% they're going to slow down Rodgers. I can live with the 49ers losing to the Packers. I would rather that happen than...

I think this has a lot to do with it. 10 years ago I built a new gaming PC every year. Now even gamers don't need to do that and regular people get 5-8 years out of a computer.

From what I've heard just about any type of publishing or entertainment the standard procedure is to just not pay anyone any residuals until they at least threaten legal action and then pretend you have never made any money on the project.

What a whining bitch Christopher Tolkien is. Poor guy just had to become fabulously wealthy off of his father's work and then decided to sell it to a movie maker and then act like he was raped when the movie made him tons more money for doing jack shit. Fuck him in his 88 year old ass.

Is there some reason you feel the need to debate me on everything I say?

Yeah, but regardless of prep time, I still say ground beef tacos are tasty. They aren't the same thing as shredded beef/pork tacos. Both kinds are good.

I understand how a crock pot works :P. But you still can't come home from work and go "I feel like tacos".

At least it isn't Mike Singletary. When I heard his name mentioned I had many pleasant fantasies about how horrible the bears would be for the next few years with him in charge.

And why does this interest you?

That's cool, I haven't heard of that. We have a family story we always tell on my Mom because she was making chili one time and the shaker top came off the garlic salt and dumped half the canister in there. She scooped it out and served it anyway but it was totally inedible. She later fed it...

I sort of agree. I bet Waltz has as much dialog as Fox, Dicaprio, and Jackson put together in this movie.

Do we really have to debate the career of Seth Macfarland in the Oscar thread? I haven't seen the movie, but Araysar and a fair number of liberals are butt hurt about it because they think it glorifies torture.

That is good, but I like a nice american taco bell style taco as well. Also, that takes about 15 minutes to make vs. several hours of slow cooking.

I sell 5-8 grass fattened cows a year to people who buy halves or quarters and people go nuts for it. I would love to be able to sell a ribeye for $15 but it's not really practical. I do think that grass fed is different and in a good way though. I have eaten it for most of my life so I roll...

Those are for beef short ribs, which is different than baby backs. I fucking love short ribs, but they aren't really football food. I do think that braising is the way to do them though. I haven't made them in a while but that recipe is pretty similar to how I do them. I missed lunch today...

I am with you. It annoys the hell out of me now when I can't use a card, and if I have to write a check then fuck you. That said though, you should really get a credit card instead of using your ATM card. The liability situation is better with credit cards if you get it stolen somehow and...

Dump a cup of heavy cream in her soup.

Is that 10% thing really true? I feel like maybe 1% or less of the people I have known in my life are gay and I used to live in the Bay Area. I realize not everyone is open about it, but I have a hard time believing the 10% thing.

QT rarely discusses the brilliance of anyone but QT. He's quite a douche in interviews. That said, there was an episode of Fresh Air on NPR where he talks about finding Waltz for Inglorious Basterds. He mostly comes across as talking about how great he is for discovering him though...

I thought the new guy was fine but the show sort of sucked last season regardless. As others have said, Batiatus was the real star of the show IMO and with him gone it's just not that compelling. I will still watch the season, but I'm kind of glad it's the last one and my expectations are low...

The other night I had the most pathetic sex dream ever. I dreamed that there had been a big evacuation of some sort and for some reason there were hundreds of people in a big parking lot sleeping in their cars and it was winter. There was a prostitute going from car to car and when she got...

Anybody having a superbowl party this year? I think I'm going to do baby back ribs this year. I will probably smoke them in the Big Green Egg the night before, then reheat them in the oven on Sunday. I will also have hot wings using theAlton Brown methodand sliders. I make the sliders...

You don't give yourself enough credit.

You need a jingle for the radio or some sort of earworm inducing way of putting out your phone number. There are commercials that I heard on the radio 10 years ago that I can still sing off the top of my head. Dial one eight hundred five eight eight, two three hundred, EMPIRE. I don't...

I was just reading about the raspberry pi boards the other day. They should be perfect for what you're doing. What did you figure out for the radio link? Also, are your hardware guys even doing anything if you're just using an off the shelf computer?

This thread is quite retarded.

Good start. Is the black guy the sniper dude from Homeland?

One thing that will keep people coming back is to establish a relationship with them and try to get to know people who come in more than once. I am personally terrible at that sort of things which is why I will never be a good salesman or customer service person, but I did have one LFS that I...

I tend to agree, it would be a much worse sign if you were having trouble getting things done and staying motivated at this stage. Just give it a few months and you will have some idea what your cash flow is going to look like and get through your initial fuck ups and you can get into more of a...

Yeah, if someone is determined to be a dumb ass and put oscars in a little tank after you tell them it's stupid then you might as well get a few bucks out of them. I don't see anything wrong with that. I don't know why they would even have a pacu in their store frankly. 99% of their...

What's your theory on selling meds? I have always felt like if you're a half decent fish keeper and you're buying fish from a good store you should never need any meds, but it sounds like as a fish store operator they might be one of your best moneymakers. When my cousin's fish were dying she...

They don't only do unnecessary tests out of fear of malpractice, it's also a moneymaker for the clinics. The numbers on your bill are also not necessarily what things really cost. Costs in medicine is extremely bizarre. Insurance companies all negotiate prices down and different companies pay...

Do you use Android? Does she play with your phone? I really think that Android is more intuitive than IOS now so I wouldn't anticipate a problem.

This. Also, psychologically it's very hard to feel good about something that was just given to you. I heard an interview with a guy who wrote a book about trying to scientifically study happiness, and he said that while a lot of people are happy after acquiring money that they feel that they...

From what I've heard from other lottery winners I would probably lose my relationships with most of my friends and family (whether or not I gave them money), burn myself out on my favorite hobbies in a couple years, lose all satisfaction in the things my money could buy me, and all satisfaction...

That PC is more than enough for an HTPC. Get yourself a wireless keyboard/mouse, plug the HDMI output into your TV/AV Receiver, and enjoy your HTPC. Do you want to use it for a DVR or just to play Netflix/Youtube/ripped movies/etc?
