This guy's writing style makes me cringe, but it's still a necessary read.

I suggest you go to NASR and rent all or most of the pistols they have. They also offer training classes which seem great. I took my conceal carry course there and it was very informative. Even if you don't want to carry taking this course would benefit you being new. I would suggest shooting on the range a little bit before taking that class but it is setup for beginners.
I've never used a VPN app on my phone but I have wireless tethered to my work pc and VPN worked. It was stable for more then 2 hours on 4G without dropping the vpn connection. Do a quick search over on http://www.xda-developers.com forums that website is full of great information.

How To Check If You Have Carrier IQ, Without Rooting Your Handset

I do it with giant eagle. It works well if I am going to be spending money at a store anyways buy a gift card. One of my friends is a land lord and he always is buying stuff from home depot for repairs on the properties. He buys gift cards at giant eagle so much that he hasn't paid for gas in over 2 years. Make sure you bring extra gas cans with you. The discount or free gas depending is up to 30 gallons. Only rule is you can only fill up one car at a time. They don't care if fill up gas cans after you fill up your car.
Pepper spraying an individual who is acting non-violent is an abuse of power. What ever happened to picking people up and moving them? All the law enforcement in the united states but no one wants to literally "throw someone over their shoulder"? If they become violent after this then go ahead and mace them. Otherwise let them bitch. People moan and complain that is life and in this country it is a fucking right. Don't infringe on another American's rights.
My furnace is 15 years old and still works fine. I can't justify $250+ for a thermostat. This battery operated one I have has never failed me. I really don't have a need for knowing if the heat stopped working. Every time I am on vacation I have friends and neighbors watch my house. That is good enough for me.
I wouldn't need to turn on the heat in bed. If I was cold I would adjust as needed before I went to bed. Also I have blankets once I am in bed that work just fine. I don't need a device to learn better ways to set the temp in my house. It doesn't take much knowledge to know when to adjust the settings on a digital thermostat... you are a guy right??? :gabe:
That is cool but I am getting the same amount of use, with 4G, and brightness at 100%
