    Interstellar (2014)

    People even remotely suggesting 100% real legit science have no idea what they are asking for. It would make for some god-awful Sci-Fi. Gravity first comes to mind.. it wasn't the best movie of all time but it was entertaining. Real version of events? Satellite debris hits the Shuttle, if the...

    The Walking Dead

    The only thing that doesn't make sense is that who would be the one to throw out Alexandria's security? If they were far superior physically, then were tossed out (even if staggered) and now are some other group just lingering beyond the walls, what was ever to stop them from re-taking it? It's...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Holy shit is that dangerous! I have never heard of these speed limiters and I can't help but think that would be a liability. You try passing someone doing 70, have no idea there is a limiter on the car, go to overtake and get fucked when it kicks in. I would probably go and take it back and...

    Hiking, Mountain Biking and Adventure Thread

    6' bamboo pole is going to be some serious weight over a carbon trekking pole! That said, I have a really nice pair of high-end Leki carbon poles. They have been taking with me to Nepal and New Zealand and probably have a few miles use, tops. I have simply never found the need to use them...

    HDTVs

    We can just agree that curved TVs need to die in a fire quicker than the 3D TV gimmick. Completely fucking useless unless you have a monsterous 200+ inch TV!

    The Walking Dead

    Gotta say, I was hoping for a twist with adulterer blondie being the abusive one. It would have been hilarious, as Rick would have been blinded by his penis and Carol was just projecting her own personal history without doing due dilligence. What really made me think it was the blonde was in...

    HDTVs

    It's foolish to think the stores don't do this to ALL of the TVs. Selling >10x $1000 TVs is probably far easier than them pushing 1x $10,000 TV. I pretty much agree with Column's post entirely. It was the same jackasses back in the day saying you couldn't tell 1080p from 720p. It's always...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Most company owned trucks have speed limiters built-in for insurance and liability issues. It's probably those drivers trying to pass at 0.5 - 1mph difference in speed driving you nuts!

    When I read the post, I also figured you are thinking too much like a bluebie. Raid targets here are subject to PVP and running low numbers just means you are easy to get steamrolled. Also, your Mage pet idea isn't so OP on red. Keep in mind, all someone needs to do to insta-poof your pet is...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    The argument could also be that you might not see cost savings, but the programs you care about are getting your money. Game of Thrones, True Detective, Breaking Bad, etc would have a more proportional reward of the money vs a few cents on my dollar going to Bubba's fishing documentary.

    I think you are right, it was player corpses. Still super handy!

    Not sure if it still works, but apparently you can proc the OT hammer off a mob's corpse. Saw a guy to that to get out of The Hole. Pretty handy little trick.

    Truth. The fact they sell the whole nuts as one option and then pawn off the broken bullshit leftovers for the exact same price is pretty laughable.

    It was DoV itemization that made me leave. Raid hard mode for 0.2% betterer stats generic cut and paste items! /snooze

    Not to mention an NPC got the kill shot, so he ate xp loss. Poor nub.

    Everquest II

    When I left in DoV, that's all the game had devolved to. Reaction speed for cures = win. Is that still the state of the game?

    The hairy bush is pretty much a Japanese thing only. In my experience, the rest typically go for the full shave.

    Nope, that is the light reflecting off the chrome metal strip there. It is exactly the same top to bottom. I'd post another picture angle, but I am at work right now.

    Well, my reply was from someone asking directly about the new S6 so that was the nature of my response. Also, no clue what you are talking about "screen peeling"? The thing is flush and looks just like the day I bought it. Maybe you're seeing the bokeh (blur) from my camera lens and mistaking...

    I still don't buy it. I had two iPhones previous to my Galaxy phones. I never use a case on any of them and never had issues with either brand. If I have to lose 3 major aspects of functionality just for a "pretty" body design? Fuck that. I have 1 tiny nick of plastic where my phone hit an edge...

    Survivor

    Complete stupidity on their part for the early split votes, yes. The slightest fracture in your perceived alliance can shift votes. I am also completely baffled by the stupid strategy of voting out long term strength threats early. Key is, your tribe will lose so hard in the early game you are...

    EQ2 pvp was so short lived before they fucked it up, but what fun it was. Fond memories of playing my Wizard and 1 shot Fusioning people to the face!

    It was hashed out a couple pages back. Consensus is you are losing 3 big features from the S5: No more swappable battery, no more micro-SD slot for adding your own storage), and no more water resistance. All for a higher price. I am happily keeping my S5 for the forseeable future.

    Random technology news & announcements

    This is the fucking baffling thing. What exactly is the difference in a Fax (digitally scanned signature) and a Scan & email (digitally scanned signature). It's simply incompetent retards that are stuck in a decades old mindset.

    For whatever reason, I have always leaned towards Western Digital. I have had 5x 4TB Hitachi drives in my NAS for a couple years now without issues. Prior to that was 5x 1TB WD RE drives, then WD 2TB regular drives.
