Nice thread. Since there's some people who might know something about painters in here, does anyone recognize my avatar? I knew once who painted it but I lost it and I can't find it again. The name of the painting is "Spiv" and it's by a british artist with a super British name like "Graham"...

Maybe compared to a Note the battery life is mediocre, but compared to a galaxy S it's going to be amazing. It was pretty much good until midnight for me most days. Ditto for the camera. It might not be top of the line, but it will be much better than what he has.

The G2 was a great phone but mine was a total shit show. Had 4 of them replaced on warranty in under a year. That said, I have a friend who has one and loves it and hasn't had a single problem with it. I suspect that I got caught in a "factory refurbished" loop where they kept sending me...

Really? Wow I couldn't disagree more. To me the performances are the only thing worth watching in the whole show. The awards /speeches I usually fast forward through. They all say the same thing. I think that they could can the acceptance speeches and just let them stand up and take a bow...

I've been watching The Americans for a couple weeks now. I was kind of meh on it the first few episodes but I'm getting close to the end of s1 and it's really drawing me in.

They have to be coax. HDmi wouldn't work unless there was a tuner built into it.

I guess the other way to look at it is that if you *don't* get a quarterback you're going to suck with or without those other 4 players. It's so tough to get one of those guys that if you have a chance to then you kind of have to bet the farm and deal with it if you're wrong. The alternative is...

Another fired coach confirming what everyone thought was true. Mike Shanahan blames Daniel Snyder for RGIIIs infatuation with being an Aaron Rodgers-type guy - The Washington Post

That's a pretty obvious conflict of interest. You don't need campaign contributions when the congressmen literally work for you. I guess I don't know what the rules are for that since most state legislatures aren't a full time job and everybody there has a regular job in some industry or other.

This post is too reasonable for rerolled. Please call someone a retard now.

My grandfather used to eat those. Sometimes he would put jelly on them as well. My mom makes peanut butter and tomato sandwiches with mayo and you would think that they would be gross but they are totally delicious.

It sounds cooler.

Yes you are. But first YOU'RE GONNA FUCKIN LIVE MAN.

I'm sure I'm not the first one to point this out but... The 300 Spartans AND the people who fought the Trojan war were Greeks, not Romans.

The local politicians aren't the problem generally though. I don't feel like my state or local politicians are being influenced by campaign contributions for the most part. Maybe some in bigger cities, but running for state legislature around here means putting up a shitload of cardboard signs...

Wow, if you're still on a Galaxy Nexus you are going to be blown away by your next phone, whatever it is. I turned mine on a year or so ago and couldn't believe how terrible the screen was. What is that thing like 4 years old now?

The "tears" from onions come from a gas that is released when the cells are damaged that mixes with the liquid in your eyes to form a burning acid, so I think cutting them with a dull knife would likely damage more cells which could increase the eye irritation. As others have said though, I cut...

I think you need to talk to a psychiatrist about your fear of raw red onions.

Well, voter turnout is like 60% on presidential years and 40% on midterms so it's not exactly rare.

What are you basing this on?

The only reason that third party candidates can't win is that people think that they can't. I agree that it's unlikely to happen, but I vote 3rd party anyway because I don't care if the Republican shill or the Democrat shill gets in so I choose not to vote for someone that is working for their...

The flavor and the tannins come from the skin. It tastes like watered down wine IMO.

Why would that "do nothing"? If you keep electing the people that benefit from the corrupt system, the corrupt system isn't going anywhere.

Stop voting for Republicans and Democrats.

What are you basing this on?

The "white" version of red wine is an abomination. Why not just take some wine and pour water in it? It will taste the same as that shit and you'll have twice as much of it.

We just bought a new wood stove with a blower for my Mom's house to replace her 30 year old earth stove. I'm really hoping it uses wood more efficiently. We decided not to go with the catalyst because we have heard that they can be finicky and you can burn them out if you burn certain kinds of...

Green beans from a can are sort of like tuna from a can. It's so different from the fresh version that you can hardly consider them the same food. My favorite use for green beans is stir fried with some chicken and black bean sauce. Also, "the touch" is just a lazy and less accurate method...

I see Tina Fey as being all about comedy and not really about politics but I could be wrong. Has she ever gotten into politics?

It probably will, but depending on your TV habits, it could wind up being a much better service.

I guarantee he's going to try to make some money on the situation. It probably won't work, but he will try.

They addressed that in the episode, but it's not as simple as "he's wrong". Also, most of the critics had a stake in conservation in one way or another.

That's right folks! EAT BEEF!

There was an interesting episode of Freakonomics radio on the fact that all the "green building" regulations that California put in place that were projected to reduce energy use by 80% basically reduced it by 0%. They hadn't proven it conclusively, but the theory was that if it's more...

Yeah, this. He's not just going to turn them in to the cops. I don't know if he's going to represent them since he called the other lawyers to meet him, but he's looking to take advantage of the situation in some way that he wouldn't be able to do if he just handed them over to the cops.

If you did it as a YouTube show or a podcast there would be at least a remote chance that someone would watch it.

More good news about the 49ers super competent owner. Jim Harbaugh says he didnt leave the 49ers by choice - SBNation.com

BTW, the champion of blowing your pro sports riches was Curt Schilling. He lost $50 Million of his own money and like $100 Million that was loaned to him by the state of Rhode Island trying to make video games and THEN he got cancer.

Yeah, and that's not everything. If you make 10 million, start by sending half of it to the government. Then send a chunk to your agent. Now with what you have left you're living in a culture where you're expected to party like a rich guy, live in a swanky house, give money to charity, drive...
