    What is with the kerning of those digits? Is it really that ass in person or is it some weird artifact of the angle the picture was taken?

    I assume the hotel towels have just been bleached to all hell by their washing machine or whatever linen service they farm out to. In the beginning, they were that soft too, but over time become the grizzled, chain-smoking veteran that's seen some real shit.

    Good lord, I'd like to meet the idiots who would buy a set of this crap. Gold-plated stainless, stamped flatware for more than double what it would cost for hand-made silver. I assume they made all their money in a slip and fall settlement that knocked their IQ down 50 points. In other...

    He'll be OK. He's a gimme for the acting hall of fame. I wonder if they're hedging their bets in case some more Epstein stuff comes out about him.

    So I gave this a shot. After downloading the game, then waiting for it to download another 20 gigs of resources, I'm met with some adventure game shit where I have to jump around and kill a bunch of trash. The factory stuff seems cool, but I don't think I will have any interest in the fighting...

    I hate the "Hey Google" wake word so much. I'd say about once a week while listening to a podcast it'll get triggered by something someone says similar to ok Google. So glad I can finally have the option to turn it off for android auto. Tip to try: press and hold the voice recognition button...

    I've never looked into it that closely, but my understanding is you'd have to pass emissions if under 25 years old, which probably would be a pain in the ass. I'd assume second GCC issue is shipping - are there really any outgoing container ships? I figure the only thing outbound is oil...

    My friend does that. He said he's constantly being aggressively propositioned by horny nurses. One of those things you don't find out about until after you're married.

    I had that happen a few years ago when I was getting ready to sell my old house. A branch ended up nailing my detached garage. When I went over to inspect it, it was like out of a movie - every 5-10s another branch would come down somewhere in the neighborhood. In retrospect, it was probably...

    Facebook is the bane of my existence. My wife was telling me we had to look out for exploding trees all around us because it's so cold. Apparently some asshole decided to reframe frost cracking as OH NO EXPLODING and grossly exaggerate the prevalence. It gets this cold here probably once a year...

    Question for the people in the trades that would know: How does that pass an inspection? Does rough framing not get inspected? I could have sworn my deck had 3 - the footings, framing, and then final. I would hope a house would be way more rigorous.

    I kind of want to buy a series of AI slop hats now. The most interesting one is the Eagles - unless you look closely it's almost passably right, but then under any scrutiny it's some buglike thing.

    I knew what you meant, I was just using it to ballpark what you stood to gain. So you've probably got less than 2 years of payments left I'm guessing?

    .3% of 100k is 300 dollars, nice car is 50ish k. I'm guessing remaining life of loan you're probably less than net 500 in gains from interest. The absolutely pure right thing to do is net the cash, but I'm in the same boat as you - there's a psychological joy in not having an ounce of debt owed...

    Good hire by the Giants. With the Eagles seemingly on the decline, the Commies trying their best to RG3 Daniels, and the Cowboys lacking a defense, the Giants could turn around pretty quickly. I was worried Lafleur was going to be fired and he'd end up coaching the Packers.

    Only compatability. I figure if it's running Windows, I'd like to stick with an x86 processor. If they're alright now, maybe I'll take a look, I wrote them off back when they released the Surface Pro X and it was hot garbage.

    Facebook marketplace has become sort of the defacto private party sales site now. Sucks for someone like me who refuses to get facebook. Consider this the universe concurring that it's a bad idea. A car like that shouldn't be a daily driver, especially in a state that gets snow. Save your...

    Wife is looking for a Windows tablet with a detachable keyboard. Was going to get her a Surface Pro, but apparently they're only making the Snapdragon version of that now, so, that's out. Any recommendations? I guess non-detatchable keyboard is ok too so long as the hinges are actually durable.

    Teams and coaches have a terrible memory (and ego). It's already happening with Brian Flores too. I don't see another Saleh or Flores head coaching gig ending well. Especially Flores.

    I think he would be a pretty good fit as the Lions OC assuming they revamp their O-line. Only issue I see is he might be bad for continuity as he might get poached for another HC position rather quickly if he was able to get things working properly.

    Went into the pool, forgot I still had my phone in my pocket. 'oh well, not a big deal, it's waterproof, I'll take it out when I get out in a few minutes' Later that day, every camera on this stupid phone has condensation inside on the lens. Good job Samsung, you cunts.

    I think this is probably only the second time this had happened with a division: all 4 NFC North teams finished with a winning record. Also, equally flukey: the division winner was swept by the basement dweller.

    I agree the NBA still has the edge by a good margin, but the NFL is doing everything they can to close the gap in a hurry. The fact I can see the name Vinovich, Hill, Cheffers, or Allen and know some bullshit will be afoot is damning. That at least 25% of the crews are complete dogshit is...

    What a surprise, a Brad Allen officiating crew with a ton of bad calls... How that dipshit is officiating a game of any importance or even any NFL game at all really shows what a problem the league has. I'd say the NFL has nearly reached parity with the NBA at this point.

    The range kind of kills it for me. 150 miles on the base version is miserable and 240 isn't much better. Cut those numbers nearly in half for any winter driving. I'm curious what customization they'll actually launch with - I'm skeptical the government won't limit a lot of the things they're...
