I useDoggcatcherfor podcasts. I have no complaints. It's a bit expensive as apps go, but money well spent IMO. I am a big podcast junkie and have been using this for like 3 years and have had no desire to replace it. It does have a function to make a queue but I have never used it so I can't...

I think they should change it go GBLT because that sounds like a "Great" BLT which being the best sandwich on the planet would make them more popular.

For those that aren't romantic about shaving, has anyone tried this? http://www.dollarshaveclub.com/ The medium plan is $6 a month and they send four 4-blade cartridges to you in the mail every month. This is a bit more than half the price of Gillette Mach 3 cartridges and you don't...

You could get a Google Voice number and forward it to your cell phone until the new line is hooked up and then forward it to the store line? One kind of nice thing for me about Google Voice at least in this area is that they get a different prefix and there aren't a lot of numbers taken so you...

That's neat. I think it would be more of a 1-way broadcast type situation. Like if you're in a stadium and you want to broadcast an audio stream to everyone on their smart phones or something. It wouldn't really work in a wi-fi like situation where multiple devices are continuously uploading...

Yeah, I get the impression that after getting burned by Verizon on the Galaxy Nexus the Google Phones purpose is more to express Google's ideals than to move a ton of units. Hopefully the fact that they are constantly sold out will inspire other phone manufacturers to emulate it a bit more.

Hah, yeah I'm sure he doesn't understand football the way that you do. Maybe you could arrange some meetings in the off season and explain to him what the NFL is about.

Not too many HoF QB's brought their entire offensive scheme with them when they changed teams either. On the other hand, I think he would be great on TV, if not as a color commentator he could kick Trent Dilfer's ass out and sit next to Steve Young after Monday Night Football. Like others have...

I think if you made it through 2 of the worst recessions in the history of the US which we still haven't fully recovered from and didn't lose any money you should be pretty darn happy. There are tons of people who invested in real estate who would be thrilled with the returns from index funds...

This is really nice. If it were spring/summer I know a spot that I could go to try to copy it. I doubt I will remember until next spring though.

The micro-USB cables that came with my cell phone and kindle look different than the ones I buy from monoprice and the like. Here's a picture, note the 4 slots in the top. I had to trade in my phone a few months back because the USB port would no longer hold the cable and it fell out all...

This is great. I'm not really a fan of the abstract stuff but this picture doesn't look like you were trying to just take a picture of some stuff that makes lines, yet it jumps right out at you. Starting to have trouble remembering what I have posted here and what I haven't.

How so?

Wolfen - How is it for masturbating?

I sort of do the same thing, but with the TV. I also sleep with a fan for white noise, but if I put the TV on a show that I don't care about (usually a rerun of Family Guy or something on Cartoon Network) with a 30 minute sleep timer and then close my eyes and listen to it I am usually out in 5...

Yeah, you would probably have to get help from a mod. No big deal, but the thread has kind of moved on from the 2 retail locations thing.

Maybe just give then 10% off fish for 6 weeks if they buy an aquarium? Or put together a "package" that includes the filter, aggregate, heater, stand, lights, etc. and include the 6 week fish discount in that? I just can't personally imagine carrying a punch card around in my wallet for a fish...

The Galaxy Nexus is still a pretty solid phone and it has Jelly Bean which is more than a lot of higher end phones can say. I think it's $50 on contract or possibly free now.

I'm not against the health insurance mandate. I'm just talking about who pays the bill.

It's not really because people don't want socialism, it's because going single payer would destroy a multi-billion dollar industry that pays a lot of lobbyists and there is nobody that makes a ton of money from single payer to go out and buy politicians. Even if nothing else changed though, I...

Nevermind, this post isn't appropriate for this forum.

Another great reason that the employer provided health care system is stupid. How it should be is all I'm talking about. The only thing I have said that folks should do is to not pay extra for Cadillac insurance and that if you're in a union or employee organization, you should push for higher...

Competition dictates wages. They're not paying people more because it's a seller's market, and people are willing to work for less so there's no reason to pay them more. Corporations aren't in the business of making their employees rich, they are in the business of making their stockholders...

To me the loyalty program idea seems a little odd for a fish store because I think most people think of getting an aquarium like getting a puppy. You're not going to be coming back all the time because now you have your fish and you're good except for food which is cheap enough that people...

I think that the people should pay for their own health insurance so they would make more rational decisions and stop volunteering to be fleeced by insurance companies. Yes your employer would pay you more if they didn't have to cover your insurance. There is no reason that they wouldn't.

Saw this last night and it was great. Tarantino's cameo in which he tries to do an Australian accent was extremely painful, but I liked how it ended. I loved the scene where Waltz and DiCaprio are arguing over the handshake. They are both such great actors.

Even so, he will keep picking wins based on which team he is the least butt-hurt about.

They can negotiate better prices for moderate insurance as well. The "better" your insurance plan is, the more money goes into the pockets of the insurance company. That is a fact. Insurance companies aren't trying to sell you on the bare bones policy because it won't make them as much money...

I'm a Redskins fan for the week. Fuck Seattle.

And why not? Maybe there's some tax benefits and such for the employers but it's just a cost of employing you exactly like your salary is. You keep stating this belief that for some reason an employer is willing to spend money on health care that they would not be willing to spend on salary as...

I love how the idea that employer provided health care is part of your pay and thus not "free" is completely incomprehensible to you guys.

Considering the fact that Kat Williams standup is 98% him just saying the N-word over and over, I can see where he sees this film as a threat to his livelihood.

Yeah, and the guy that won the lottery thinks that lottery tickets are a great investment. I'm not saying don't have insurance, and with a lesser plan you might have been out of pocket 10-20 grand but the odds of something like that happening don't match the difference in price for the no...

Hasn't it been shown that pretty much nothing beats index funds over the long term?

I have seen businesses that do the ipad thing. There is a restaurant here in town and their "cash register" is just an ipad on a stand. I don't know what app they use but it's kind of interesting. Not taking credit cards isn't really an option for a retail store.

The Pats might be able to beat the Broncos. Ravens definitely can't.

That's what I meant. I guess I should have said "the pace at which her story is progressing" instead of "how fast". I can understand being impatient, but if she is going to credibly invade Westeros and have a chance at taking over she has to get some experience at some point. A 15 year old...

I really like the red panda shot. I assume that's in a zoo somewhere?

He hasn't seen the movie, so he doesn't know what he's upset about either. I think it's mostly that a white guy is making a movie about slavery and he's supposed to be the only one that gets to profit from racism.
