  1. Still need one? found my fiancee's when I was cleaning.
  2. They may have to provide a 1000mB connection, but with Net Neutrality repealed they will be under no obligation to actually serve you the websites you want at that speed. Sure, AT&T has a deal with DirecTV, so you'll be able to stream NFL games to your PS4 via Sunday Ticket over a gig connection, but if you want to watch NASCAR chase for the cup, too fucking bad because that's being streamed on NBC, which is owned by Comcast, a direct competitor of AT&T, so they're gonna discriminate against that data and you'll have to buy a separate NASCAR streaming access package to speed up those streams.
  3. I've had proclip phone-specific mounts for my last 2 phones. Best company out there.
  4. How bout the interstate highway system? Or railroad gauge standardization? Net neutrality rules are NOT the government regulating the internet. They are the government regulating ISPs, and making sure that they don't unfairly benefit themselves with undue hardship to citizens. ISPs already enjoy an cartel-like grip on their market so the idea of a "free" market doesn't apply.

  6. No, 16 year old Whirlpool. I was also able to take the fucker apart and tested the control board, which passed all my tests. I discovered the breaker box in the house we're renting (rent LOL) had unlabeled switches and when they trip, they remain nearly flush with the active switches. After lots of swearing and wondering why the dryer switch was properly labelled on circuits 1+3 and the washer was unlabeled on circuit 26, I got it to power back on and found the control board working entirely as intended. I ran a test wash, it started the cycle ok, so I then let it run. Came back downstairs to a tripped switch and a full washer. Took it apart, drained it, disassembled the pump which seemed to rotate fine and had no clogs. Reassembled, reset switch, sat and watched and finally saw the motor hum upon the start of the spin cycle and trip the switch. Conclusion = motor is shot. $150-200 replacement part. If someone wants to haul this fucker away, it's free. I'll be bringing the new washer home tonight and hopefully getting this old one into the garage for curb dumping by next Wednesday.
  7. Stewart Miller. I know the attorney who defended him, he's a damn good lawyer who takes a lot of shitty cases. Anyways, I didn't have time to read this whole thread but I've driven my entire life with no front plate and here's my experiences & observations. Parking downtown: They'll nail you if they don't see a front plate, but they WILL IGNORE YOU if you just put your plate on your dash. I keep my front plate wedged between the console and driver's seat. I am meter parked downtown at least once a week if not more, have not gotten a ticket in 5+ years, and have watched meter maids skip my car. CFP/OSHP: Haven't had a negative interaction with them regarding front plates since 2014. In 2014 I was pulled over and ticketed near the Lodi outlets by an OSHP trooper. This occurred memorial day weekend and I was surprised when a sheepish officer came back to my car with the ticket (8mph over) and stated "sorry pal, I saw no front plate and assumed you were out of state, but we've gotta write up everyone we pull over this weekend." By far one of the weirdest admissions I've heard, but I took it to heart; if you're gonna drive with no front plate on a holiday/heavy enforcement weekend, do your best to blend in. They're out ticketing people they know won't come fight it. Local PD: Some use it to get their jollies, but that's like any local PD. Last time I had a truly negative experience was driving with my dad in 2007 in his E39 that he'd bought via Euro Delivery and had his legit D plate on the front. Gahanna PD pulled us over a 5am as we left town for the F1GP in Indy and lectured us about how we were not, in fact, in Germany, and the front plate requirement is there for our safety.
  8. Just like the title says, I need a washing machine as the control board on mine probably just went out. What ya got? UPDATE: this is now a free washing machine giveaway thread. Copied from below: No, 16 year old Whirlpool. I was also able to take the fucker apart and tested the control board, which passed all my tests. I discovered the breaker box in the house we're renting (rent LOL) had unlabeled switches and when they trip, they remain nearly flush with the active switches.

  9. http://thehypedgeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Die-Hard-Christmas-Now-I-Have-a-Machine-Gun-Ho-Ho-Ho-1.jpg Also it's not Xmas without me constantly hating on Trans Siberian Orchestra. Fuck that shit.
  10. Why are you considering anything other than 3?
  11. Blue Laser Design. http://www.bluelaserdesign.com/ We deal with lots of web designers and marketing people, it's pretty easy to sniff out an incompetent one and hard to find a good one. These folks are top notch. Caitlin Figaro is who you wanna talk to, tell her Alex from Paradigm sent you. They're not cheap, but they are very good.
  12. My fiancée's coworker is a flat earther. She has admitted she knows she's insane for believing it BUT SHE CAN'T FIND PROOF THAT IT'S WRONG. I've tried to help her think critically about it. I've tried appealing to logic, and to emotion. I've tried, and I just think that for some people, the more you try the more they believe. It's not insanity, it's just an inability to apply the scientific method to...anything.
  13. I thought it was that he had to pay out the remainder of the lease at something paltry like $75k/yr until 2023.
  14. They keep citing how Cbus is near the bottom in all metrics but you know who has worse metrics? Dallas FC. I realize Dallas and Austin are completely different geographically and culturally, but if a city twice the size of Cbus is doing worse than Cbus in metrics, what makes them think that already-failing Austin will do better? It's sorta crazy IMO.
  15. Our CTO was born on a farm in Oklahoma, spent years raising cattle before going into the Navy. He's very much a "it'll be there tomorrow" kinda guy which is very strange in the tech world. He is insanely bright and always gets it done in time, if not right away.
  16. I highlighted the start fresh aspect because it's important. The most valuable thing towards creating a positive way forward for these individuals and their surroundings is to make sure they can get a job that sustains them. Job prospects for criminals and addicts are hard to come by, but it's one of the most positive mental reinforcements for good behavior. Like you said, get them away from the environment and give them the opportunity to create a better environment, not just a different location of the same shit.
  17. It's not just lack of education. Plenty of educated people get wrapped up in pills and it leads to H. I'm from CT, the wealthier areas are just as hard hit by the epidemic as the poor areas, the only difference is that when you're rich you don't encounter the same risks and police encounters as poor people do. To me the issue is how we deal with it. Putting people in prison for years just teaches them ways to not get caught. If we're going to provide people with 3 hots and a cot, might as well do it in a rehabilitative/treatment environment rather than a punitive one. Help decrease the demand through treatment and the supply will become less profitable, and since profit is the only reason it's here, the supply will then dwindle. Plenty of people get hooked on legitimate use. A friend of mine played college football and vicodin was handed out to players like aspirin. When he got addicted to that and the supply ran dry, his body chemistry got in the way of "just get past it." He was a fiend and a friend with an H connection was his way out. Once you have that first taste, the rest of your existence is pretty much geared towards getting back to that feeling of not caring, of not hurting.
  18. OHHHH shit I forgot about him. He helped me work on my car when I was young and wet behind the ears and thought I was a little billy badass. Totally blew my mind when I found out about his stormfront posting since he was such a level dude to me.
  19. I will make it a point to visit next time I drive thru the area. I like my wings heavily sauced, do they go for that style or are they a dry rub/plain wing type place?
  20. Fiancée's family always does and oven bird and a fryer bird for the huge family. Fried bird always turns out better and last year they did a 20lber, it was great.
