ST is smarter - concert tickets on the cheap? best place? Craigslist? in front of the venue? scalpers - cause Stubhub is the exact same price as TM -- nm - Epiphany Jul 14, 08:24 13
- If there's a ticketmaster location that sells them, there. You pay less in fees, and have physical tickets. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 08:30
- The problem with cheaper options like craigslist and in front of the venue is that you get no guaranties that the tickets are not counterfeits. To me - pmb Jul 14, 08:26 2
  - good point -I got burned years ago on fake 3 days Grace tix -- nm - Epiphany Jul 14, 08:27 1
    - I met their singer last year. Very nice guy. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 08:28

      - I love me some Panic! and I'm betting Weezer is a lot like Blink 182, better than you'd think they'd be -- nm - Epiphany Jul 14, 08:27 1
        
        I think Weezer is partly responible for the stupid hipster craze. They are good, though -- nm - CQ Jul 14, 08:30

  - well, that would take ALL day. -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 08:29
- To not come in until after lunch? How about "I didn't really want to come in at all today, so count yourself lucky." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 08:20
- Gynecologist appt. No one questions. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:20 1

    - I use it driving all the time and grab stuff as it pops up. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 08:29 3
      - That was my biggest problem with it. The tech was not quite as good as I had hoped. - Spawn Jul 14, 08:31
      - uuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmm -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:31 1

    - i caught something from the subway today too. it was stopped in a station. it works if you are going slow enough. - Andie Jul 14, 08:19 1
      - this - he caught 2 at one stop this AM. -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 08:21
- i only found one of those last night, but i think my neighbourhood is ground zero for Drowzees. - Andie Jul 14, 08:16 18
  - There's a wild Hypno somewhere outside my work -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:19 12
    - what's that bird-like thingie that looks like a bat? -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 08:24 10

        "make patryk do it"? that's not good info! -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 14, 08:30 1
        
        heh-heh, the wings part... -- nm - Diva Jul 14, 08:30
        
        my sister! - ty97 Jul 14, 08:28
      - Zubat? -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:25 4
        
        I hate those things, I have trouble with them for some reason -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:26 2
        
        even patryk took like more than one ball to get him. I got one on the bus this morning with one ball and just got one at work with like 15. whatever. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 14, 08:29
        
        they are smaller and farther away. It's harder to hit them -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:28

    - Even I have a Drowzee. You suck! :) -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 08:20 2

remlik, are you really going to drop a lure at your shop this weekend? you'll report in if so, right? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 14, 07:56 7
- if I were Remlik, I'd be in touch with the devs to see what it will take to become a sponsored location - ÜMLaut Jul 14, 07:57 6
  - He kinds has a built in network already. Just announce a Pokemon day, save up lures or buy them and just lure the store all day. People will come -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:06 1
    - Yeaah, let the first test day see what it is like and go from there. - Spawn Jul 14, 08:16
  - If I were Chipotle, I'd be paying to make every shop a lured Pokestop -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:04 3
    - "Why does this pokestop only have Ratattas?" -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:05 1

Consumer Reports has called on Tesla to disable autopilot and rename it -- (link) - ÜMLaut Jul 14, 07:52 20
- Eh, I remember when the advent of "cruise control" was like this. -- nm - Spawn Jul 14, 08:18 1
  - Pretty much. And all-wheel drive and traction control and automatic transmissions and... - TWuG Jul 14, 08:24
- ...and rename it DEATHpilot -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:00
- Are they also calling for BMW, Mercedes, and Infiniti to disable their similar products? - TWuG Jul 14, 07:57 16
  - Who could have predicted TWuG would post in this thread? -- nm - David Jul 14, 08:17 5
    - :-) I keep up with this stuff so I don't go into the Model 3 purchase uninf -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 08:19 4
      - Keep calm, TWuG. The rest of your post will appear momentarily. -- nm - ST Tesla Autopilot Jul 14, 08:21 2
        
        (this is really funny. I'm so sorry TWuG. I laughed.) -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 14, 08:22 1
        
        :-) -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 08:25
      - Ormed. I'm still not certain the Model 3 will be the right car for me. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 08:20
  - I don't believe those other cars provide full autopilot. They are pushed more as safety features that will add protection if you miss something - pmb Jul 14, 08:12 6
    - Tesla doesn't offer full autoonomy. The four systems are comparable in their capabilities - TWuG Jul 14, 08:17 5
      - I think it provides a level of steering that the other cars don't offer. It can, for instance, change lanes. The others can't. They are primarily - pmb Jul 14, 08:21 4
        
        It only changes lanes when prompted by the driver. You have to signal the move before it will make it. - TWuG Jul 14, 08:28 3
        
        Sure. But it steers. That's different. Largely I think it's the perception that Tesla has created (which is why I think a name change of the - pmb Jul 14, 08:31 2
        
        It steers for the lane control function, just like the others do, too. So a lange change isn't different in ability just degree. -- nm - TWuG Jul 14, 08:35 1
        
        It's still how they sell it. And it's not a small degree. One adjusts you back in your lane. The other adjustment is much more significant. -- nm - pmb Jul 14, 08:36
  - those autopilots don't crash -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:00 2

- dang - tell your dude to be careful out there - Epiphany Jul 14, 08:07
- I bet a pokemon broke that branch -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:01 1
  - Not every thread has to be about Pokemon! -- nm - Roger More Jul 14, 08:08
It's like Rob Liefeld found a pen that brings his creations to life. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 07:51 1

I'd like to know how many hours some people are putting in to Pokemon GO when I'm seeing 1200 plus Pokemon in gyms -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:50 45
- I watched a Neistat video on the pokemon craze yesterday - J Jul 14, 07:59 2
  - Portable battery sales are going to go through the roof. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 08:01 1
    - Oh for sure. Portable battery packs, larger mah batteries and charging cables. Don't leave home without them. -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:05
- And I mean 1200 cp -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:53
- it seems to escalate quickly and the CP of the pokemon you find grows with your level. My son is like in the teens for his level and finding 600-800 - oblique Jul 14, 07:52 40
  - I'm level 9 largest I have is like 364cp -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:54 39
    - Level 5 just now and I have nothing to brag about yet -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:07 8
      - I am Level 5 too and my highest is a 96 Jynx. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:13 7
        
        how do you figure out highest? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 14, 08:31 2
        
        i don't have that many, it wasn't hard. (i only started last night.) -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:33
        
        you can sort your list by CP -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:31
        
        I had caught a ~180 Pinsir before I hit 5. The only thing higher I've gotten was the 361 Tauros last night as Level 7. - ty97 Jul 14, 08:18 1
        
        very -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:19
        
        76 Seel.... -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:18 1
        
        Cool. I haven't seen one of those yet. -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:18
    - Level 12 and I've a Vaporeon at 717 a Pidgeot at 665 and a Jolteon at 663 as my top 3 - decline Jul 14, 08:04 8
      - What's the highest you captured though? -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:04 7
        
        caught the Pidgeot at 638 this morning (and did 1 evolve) -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:06 6
        
        I'm only level 4 and I caught a 115 Beedrill this morning. -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 08:07
        
        Thanks -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 08:06 4
        
        they are *much* harder to catch at that level. You do get better pokeballs at level 11 or 12 though -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:09 3
        
        I've noticed they are already getting a little better at not being caught and that they escape more often even now. - ty97 Jul 14, 08:16 2
        
        make sure to use the Razz Berry's once you start getting them -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:17
        
        you should start getting raspberries now. you can use those before throwing the ball to make them easier to catch -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:17
    - have any of you actually spent real life $$ and bought anything in the game yet? -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:03 16
      - Nah. I think the real pressure to advance only comes if you're trying to control gyms for the prestige or rewards - oblique Jul 14, 08:09 8
        
        (i will never control a gym, so...) -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:10 7
        
        With the levels some are at and the amount of hours they put into I could never control one as well - J Jul 14, 08:12 5
        
        as I mentioned below. Let others fight. Just jump in when there is an open slot - oblique Jul 14, 08:13 4
        
        Yep just read that, thanks -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:20
        
        the gym across from my apartment changes hands daily. It switched teams last night sometime after midnight - decline Jul 14, 08:16
        
        Hopefully they add friendly fights between friends -- nm - eag Jul 14, 08:15 1
        
        I recall PvP being one of the things they talked about before the release. I honestly think they have to just because of the CP creep issue we're - oblique Jul 14, 08:16
        
        it's actually not that hard. when a gym upgrades through others fighting there will be open spots. stick a pokemon in when you find one like that - oblique Jul 14, 08:11
      - I wouldn't but if I did want something I wouldn't be against using some google survey money -- nm - J Jul 14, 08:09
      - Nope and you really don't have too - eag Jul 14, 08:06
      - nope, and never will :) -- nm - decline Jul 14, 08:04
      - No. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 08:04
      - (this is a poll!) NO. And I plan to never do so. - ty97 Jul 14, 08:03 2
        
        yeah, i don't know if i've ever made an in app purchase for anything, ever. -- nm - Andie Jul 14, 08:04 1
        
        I refuse to do it for Candy Crush - REFUSE. I know one day I will get stuck and the fun will be over - Epiphany Jul 14, 08:08
    - Level 14, and my highest is a 760 Flareon, then a 669 Venomoth, then about 10 Pidgeots. -- nm - Ender Jul 14, 07:58
    - I got a 361 Tauros in the wild yesterday. Everything else is below 200. -- nm - ty97 Jul 14, 07:58
    - Pinsar is 394 that's my biggest -- nm - eag Jul 14, 07:56
    - Yup. My best is Hypno at 569 and I've powered him up quite a bit. The best I find wild is 200ish from time to time - oblique Jul 14, 07:55
