    Snowblowers

    I personally don't like the finish I get with a snow blower. It always leaves a little bit of debris on the ground, and after the wheels go through, it pushes it down so you can't shovel it up afterwards. I like to shovel because I take it down to the pavement. My property looks like it...

    Snowblowers

    My dad has a very high end snow blower. It's a Honda, and cost him probably $2200, but this was upwards of 20 years ago. It has teeth on the propeller, to help break through ice. It's come in handy many times. One night we had a heavy snow fall, then it rained on top of it, giving you a 2"...

    Marvel Universe stuff

    There is still plenty that I don't like about it. That said, it's still more entertaining (to me) than some of the other Marvel movies. Hulk, Thor 1, & Captain America 1 in particular. Wow... 7 months to the day until Age of Ultron. I don't want to wait that long!

    Gotham

    I hope there is some more of them to show off later on in the season. Going the "Dawn of Superman" fast lane like they are, is bound to fail. It'll work just due to how many DC fans there are, but it won't pull in the mass "non comic" appeal that Marvel has done.

    John Wick (2014)

    They were talking about The Joker, though.

    Marvel Universe stuff

    I think my issue with Cap 1 was the Red Skull, and how he was portrayed. I also REALLY didn't like the whole racing the car scene at the end of the movie. Overall, the story was pretty slow, but that's understood being the origin story and all. They just did such a much better job on #2, that...

    Smartphones

    I don't think that's possible. The make the iPhones so that you can't get to the battery or SIM card. It's all locked within their case. When you buy the phone, it's pre-installed so that you never get a chance to fuck with it.

    I saw GotG again last night at the theater because my dad wanted to go, so I appeased him and went with. It definitely wasn't as good my 2nd viewing in an empty theater. There were a total of 4 people sitting in there, so there wasn't any of the louder laughter that opening night had for me...

    I pre-ordered a Note 4 the other day. I'm really looking forward to it coming in. My neighbor has a Note 3, and playing with it a little bit, it's vastly better than my "old" Galaxy S3. Had a question about SIM cards though. Will the phone come with a new one, or will I need to get that on...

    Wouldn't it be fun if they change the history enough that Oracle is a girl that Bruce played with while even younger? I hope they don't do that.

    John Wick (2014)

    Trailer 2 is up now. EDIT: I don't think this is an official trailer. It just looked like trailer 1 in a different order and a lot shorter.

    Maybe he breaks up with Barbara, gets with Sarah, then later reconnects with Barbara?

    Gotham

    A few times in last night's episode, they called her Selena", but she would quickly correct them saying "Cat". So yeah, your guess is correct. Oh, and the episode title (as per Wiki) was Selena Kyle.

    Tracy Morgan vs Wal Mart truck

    I understand that it's typical legal wrangling, but it changes the point of this thread. You're focusing on seat belts. I realize the court will do the same after lawyers are involved, but you guys are as well. That's what I was pointing out.

    Tracy Morgan vs Wal Mart truck

    You guys are getting off the subject. They are in this condition only because the Walmart semi stuck their stopped limo while going around 65 mph. Seat belts would NOT have helped anyone. The limo was completely destroyed by the semi. You're acting like the media by focusing on all the...

    I just got done watching HxH #35. The 1st solid hit against Hisoka was fucking awesome. Gon's the shit. I'm not reading spoilers... I just really liked that episode. I smiled a lot when he flipped the arena tile thing.

    Keep in mind that he also mentioned storm and burn as solo decks, but melira pod & deliver as decks when the people he's playing against aren't dicks.

    It bends much easier around the volume button than directly in the middle. And it's fairly easy to do. It's just due to Apple trying to limit the weight of the 6+ which results in a thinner case. And where the volume buttons are, a lesser chassis.

    And in 99% of taxies. Reasoning? The belts are fucking disgusting from everyone else touching them.

    I wear mine. Just saying, Walmart's in for a world of trouble. More so than before, I think. Maybe these comics will become more aggressive at suing them now. Hell, I don't know how much they're suing them as it already stands.

Emerging in the City of Bludhaven years later, Dick takes on the guise of "Nightwing" easily defeating...

    Tracy Morgan vs Wal Mart truck

    Good for them. I see this being a huge shit storm, as it rightly should be. I realize Walmart is just trying to lower their own damages, but still. Someone is dead and 2 people were severely hurt as a direct consequence to an action their driver 100% caused.

    I'm going to see this movie again tomorrow night with my Dad. He wants to see it, so whatever. It's worth a 2nd watching. Then for the Blu-Ray to come out. Ohh, can't wait!

    I told a friend about this post, and he didn't have the best review of it. "standard sucks, they're talking about standard with a little legacy. I play modern" He's a huge Magic nerd, so I wanted him to chime in on your discussion, but he doesn't like what you're talking about. Well...

    The underwear thread.

    I'm up to 7 pairs of Saxx now. Love these damn things. I'm in the process of throwing away some older underwear, despite the fact that they don't have anything wrong with them. Just need to clear space in my drawer for another Saxx or two to finish the collection.

    Tusk

    Well, it's not really "failing". It's already making a profit, just not a huge one. There was an exceptionally low budget on this one. Like 2-3 million tops. Even Redstate had more than that. I really liked Redstate.

    He was going to retire from directing after Redstate, but then had a change of heart. He made a TV series (hasn't aired yet) that was going to be a Movie called Hit Somebody. It was going to star Seann William Scott, but then he signed with a different movie using the same premise, called...

    You need to look at them as different genre's of movies. Guardians of the Galaxy was Sci-Fi. The first Marvel movie that's Sci-Fi for that matter. Avengers was a Hero movie, much the way Iron Man & Thor & Captain America 1 were. Cap 2 is a spy movie, and actually the first spy movie that...

    Investment - How should I do this?

    As far as income goes, I'm around $60k/yr, and my wife is around $53k/yr. So we're not even remotely close to your $400k mark. I'll find out what the cap is for the 50% match. It "might" be 6-7%, but I don't recall. Also, check your PM's.
