I now have HD TV. :-) Free upgrade from DirecTV and because they screwed up my install date they gave $20 off my bill for six months. :-) - Krusty Nov 25, 10:36 8
- Did you tip the guy for that kind of service? -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:39 3
  - I actually did end up giving him a few bucks. He left me extra cable so I can extend the line if I want to love the TV to another part of the room. - Krusty Nov 25, 10:42 1
    - *move* I love my TV but not in that way. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:43
  - "Yes, but JUST the tip." -- nm - nubby Nov 25, 10:41
- Score! -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:38
- Awesome! -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:37 2
  - I would see this wonderful picture on other people -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:38 1
    - *sfek* people's TV's and marvel at the clarity and sharpness. It's awesome! -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:39
NFL Draft: I just realized yesterday that Derek Carr is David's younger brother. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 25, 10:36 1
- Yup and that will be held against him. -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:37
I threw a wish in the well..... -- nm - prayformojo Nov 25, 10:34 2
- and ??? - OAE -- Antarctica, Old Explorer Nov 25, 10:37 1
  - don't ask him he'll never tell -- nm - JenBro Nov 25, 11:12
Texas Cop Accused of Raping 19-Year-Old During Routine Traffic Stop -- (link) - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:33 4
- isn't it Texas that took that dude for repeated Colonoscopy procedures? -- nm - groiny Nov 25, 10:36 2
  - IIRC, that was in New Mexico. -- nm - Krusty Nov 25, 10:37 1
    - same thing. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 25, 10:39
- I hope it wasn't actually a *routine* traffic stop. - nubby Nov 25, 10:34
seeing only one - how does the special effects of Shield compare to Almost Human? cause...*spoils* - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:31 6
- spoils - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 25, 10:35 1
  - I'd be surprised if it wasn't available - it was the use of the camera work - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:38
- Shield would fit in as a SyFy show like Warehouse 13 and Eureka. -- nm - Max Nov 25, 10:34 2
  - Neither of which will be on the air shortly. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 25, 10:41
  - Except not as good. -- nm - Jim Nov 25, 10:39
- S.H.I.E.L.D. is doing SFX on a dime. It's very disappointing. Almost Human was shocking in its high production value. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:33
if I said to you "I want to buy a 7" android tablet," which would you tell me to get? like, what's my best value? -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:30 17
- Two choices IMO: Nexus 7 or Kindle Fire HD/HDX -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:31 1
  - this -- nm - decline Nov 25, 10:34
- What are you going to do with it? Is it primarily a reader with some tablet functionality or a tablet with some reader? -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 10:31 13
  - My first gen Nexus 7 works fine, and can be had for really cheap. - Guigue Nov 25, 10:35 2
    - it's for a gift (charlie needed to know). I told him nexus 7. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:36 1
      - Wise -- nm - Guigue Nov 25, 10:39
  - tablet with some reader. web/email. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:32 9
    - I'd go with Nexus 7 then. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:34 8
      - I really think the whole 'restricts' thing is overblown. I've never had problems finding an app to fit a need with the Kindle - decline Nov 25, 10:36 5
        
        It seems like un unnecessarily hassle considering the other options -- nm - Guigue Nov 25, 10:40
        
        ^^ this. Maybe not for the truly non-technical but mandy would have no problem -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:38
        
        I no longer have a Fire but I know that I did have problems finding certain apps and ML has said the same thing *shrug* -- nm - spamlet Nov 25, 10:38 2
        
        I found a site apkdad or something like it that has everything -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:38 1
        
        I'm also not a big fan of loading apps that I find on random websites. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:40
      - oh cool. thanks. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:34 1
        
        The Kindle/Nook are cheaper which is why I'd suggest those over a Nexus as a reader, FWIW. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:39
- Wait, I've seen this Verizon commercial. - nubby Nov 25, 10:31
These last two episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. have been markedly improved. Now they're only crappy. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:27

- If a team that isn't QB needy winds up with the first pick, it's probably worth two firsts and a second. - David Nov 25, 10:37 5
  - [deleted] 4
    - It's a windfall for us if it happens. - David Nov 25, 10:40 1
      - *overhaul* -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:41
    - If I'm Buffalo, I'm *very* happy with EJ Manuel's rookie year. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 25, 10:40 1
      - [deleted]
- [deleted]
- Do we think the Rams will package their 2 picks to move up to Top 3? Or grab a QB where they are? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 25, 10:31 3
  - Don't expect the Rams to be in the QB market. -- nm - Jim Nov 25, 10:38
  - wait isn't Bradford coming back? - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:32

    - It's all those strong defenses, keying on stopping him. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 25, 10:23
  - you are confusing this question with his sex tape. Easy mistake -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 10:19
- 85 -- nm - groiny Nov 25, 10:17

    - Okie-dokie. Thanks guys! -- nm - Jammed Uzi Nov 25, 11:15
- ~done dirt cheap~ -- nm - Strongbad Nov 25, 10:10
So, what's the first big exclusive game for PS4/XB1? - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 25, 10:08 12
- the new Killzone on the ps4 looks cool. I think that's exclusive. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 25, 10:23
- You know in Star Trek where they say, "Computer..." That's what this is. - David Nov 25, 10:12 10
  - I don't yet see a lot use in games. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 25, 10:27 5
    - I couldn't care less about the gaming aspect (although it helps in Dead Rising 3). What is amazing is being able to mute my TV with a single word. - David Nov 25, 10:39 1
      - Finally got my Harmony remote programmed so that it presses the Tivo button for me when turning everything on. How freaking annoying is it to have - oblique Nov 25, 10:40
    - I keep thinking about that one cursed gun in BL2 - Reagen Nov 25, 10:29
    - [deleted] 1
      - Which I think would come in handy for single-player. - the wrong element, bad guy Nov 25, 10:32
  - Do you know how many episodes in ST:TNG alone where the computer starts taking over the ship?! -- nm - Qale Nov 25, 10:17 2
    - Until my XBone grows legs, or my windows and doors become connected to the grid, I'm feeling superior. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 25, 10:26
    - Look, your XBox One may try to kill you. That shouldn't stop you from enjoying great content. -- nm - David Nov 25, 10:18
  - Bring on the transparent aluminum. Oh wait, it's already here! -- nm - Was Bar Was Nov 25, 10:16
I just got an email from BANKI MOON containing a file named unitednations.txt. - GregW Nov 25, 10:07 1
- It's all the secrets of the U.N.! He hit "SEND" just before the terrorists got him. We have to act now! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:09
Seth Rogan and James Franco re-create Kanye's "Bound 2" -- (link) - nubby Nov 25, 10:07
have we talked about school admins charged in steubenville? -- (link) - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:04 4
- Anyone who had even the slightest responsibility for any part of it should have the book thrown at them. -- nm - nubby Nov 25, 10:34
- Good. -- nm - decline Nov 25, 10:26
- Do we know what they did? The charges are fairly vague. -- nm - GregW Nov 25, 10:12 1
  - They knew about it and didn't report it to the police - they also tried to delete incriminating emails/texts and lied to policy and the grand jury -- nm - decline Nov 25, 10:34
TV PSA: The Blacklist, Almost Human -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 10:04 3
- Looks like a rollicking episode of the Blacklist. I'm surprised that Fox actually has some decent competition with Almost Human. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:07 2
  - Almost Human seems to have found a way to suck all the action, thrills and chemistry SHIELD should have had and use it for itself -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 10:12 1
    - 100% agreed -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:18
Speaking of the AMAs, Christina found her old body again -- (link) - Reagen Nov 25, 09:57 3
- ya know, she still doesn't really do anything for me ... - i'm not dead yet ! Nov 25, 10:38
- Was it in the trunk of her car? -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:06
- That's too bad. "Butter sculpture" was funny as hell -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 10:02
Both of my teams won in overtime this weekend. It has been a good week. -- nm - GregW Nov 25, 09:50
The Last Five Years - A- The last song was crushing. - Mel Profit Nov 25, 09:46
[deleted] 22

- Georgia QB Aaron Murray played one series after tearing ACL -- (link) - Strongbad Nov 25, 09:47 7
  - [deleted] 4
    - I think a good team with a reliable QB will take him as a redshirt in the 3rd/4th. - David Nov 25, 09:54
    - I'm thinking 3rd at best now. Probably 4/5. - Strongbad Nov 25, 09:51 2
      - I was looking forward to stashing him away in the SCUFFL - Strongbad Nov 25, 09:52 1
        
        [deleted]
  - He doesn't get enough credit for his toughness. -- nm - David Nov 25, 09:47 1
    - It hurts me to give credit to UGA players. - Strongbad Nov 25, 09:50
- Cool, maybe Gillislee will get some carries. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 25, 09:46
- STOP INJURING FOOTBALL PLAYERS, ML! -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 09:43

  - goodness - take care of him - Epiphany Nov 25, 10:29 1
    - to help restore his pluck? -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:30
  - Good lord. What happened? -- nm - David Nov 25, 09:55 1
    - Happened during a game. Rolled on it. Played out the game (though we could see him limping) -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:01
  - ouch, sucks -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 09:48
  - did this involve your mini-van? - decline Nov 25, 09:46 2
    - Yeah, I almost went there... -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 10:08
    - Ha. no. really sucks as it affects his dance lessons as well as his rehearsals as he has the lead in Oklahoma! at his school this spring. -- nm - oblique Nov 25, 10:02
  - Ouch! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 09:43
- What a pussy. He should just punch it and show it who's boss. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Nov 25, 09:43
LIR: B2: I agree with nubby on all counts for Catching Fire. Fantastic. The final frame ran and I actually was like WTF? - oblique Nov 25, 09:41 3
- hmm. The second book was my least favorite of the series. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:35
- Agreed, but I still liked the first one better. - nubby Nov 25, 10:11
- I like David's idea of Jena Malone as Harley Quinn -- nm - Epiphany Nov 25, 09:43
Coffee drinkers: Ever try adding salt to your brew? - con_carne Nov 25, 09:40 2
- it's a well-known foodservice trick to put a sprinkle of salt in grounds before brewing. -- nm - peggy ann mcamanda Nov 25, 10:02 1
  - Instead of that wave of bitterness I usually get up front with my cheap black coffee, I'm tasting more the natural nuttiness of the beans - con_carne Nov 25, 10:06

ST Christmas Poll: Have you started decorating yet? Are you done? -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 09:33 22
- Everything but the tree was put up last night because of my stupid travel schedule. - spamlet Nov 25, 10:29
- Decorate? -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 10:23
- Yep. Done. Got a tree on Saturday and bought decorations for around the house. - volnelk Nov 25, 10:06

- Well not now you upped the ante with that Australian family. Thanks a bunch. -- nm - con_carne Nov 25, 09:41
- Apparently so. Carrie and the boys started decorating last night while I was at Elton John. -- nm - Jim Nov 25, 09:40
- Nope - this is why I leave town every Christmas. I bought outdoor lights a couple of years back - still in the box :/ -- nm - Meg Nov 25, 09:40
- we are only getting a mini, live, tree this year. it sort of kills me, but, i can't deal with putting up and taking down a full tree while packing - Andie Nov 25, 09:37
- [deleted]
- Yes (outdoor stuff all up last week, +10, this weekend it was -10 = the reason why early) -- nm - Beaker Nov 25, 09:34 1
