Technology is wonderful.

I can lay in bed and listen to a hockey game played states away while surfing the internet without being connected to anything.
 
I've actually fired a desert eagle at a shooting range. It's a cool looking weapon, and is a good use for movies and video games because of that, but I can't imagine it ever being used in any military application because it's so incredibly heavy and unwieldy.
 
Also strange that he openly admits to having schizophrenia in that article...and then goes on to get mad when people say he's mentally ill when he's not.

But...having schizophrenia is the very definition of mentally ill?

Every time someone uses the term SJW without any sense of irony or whatever, that's the kind of person I picture.

Well, the higher calibers are, sure, but the standard calibers should be much more manageable, right?

My girlfriend asked me if I was pregnant today.

All I've eaten so far was a slice of cheesecake and a peanut butter kitkat.

I think she has a point.

This post was my first exposure to how SuXLIX ended.

Also it would be hilarious if more people referred to it in that manner.

Gotta wonder how they're all going to try to fancy up a single, solitary "L" next year for all the logos and graphics and sports show placards and whatnot.

In fact it wouldn't surprise me if they decided to forgo proper latin numeration altogether and just call it SUPER BOWL XXXXX just so the graphic will look THAT MUCH MORE EXTREME.
 
Yah, they already decided it was going to be "50" with the Lombardi trophy standing tall and proud between the two digits.

...I'm sure nobody will ever alter that picture in any way that could possibly be considered NSFW.

I thought they could've gone with the Leopold II logo - the double capital L, mirrored - but oh well. And yes, I looked, but my google-fu fails me, sorry>.

There are countless articles on the web about improving wifi reception, but I can't really relate. I've never had this issue. Is it that common? I owned a 3600 sq ft house in Louisiana, and I still got perfect reception in every room with the cheap ISP router. Where do people live? In power plants? In football stadium sized houses?

It's not an issue where I live, but where I work is a different matter. A building with lots of little micro-office-sized rooms, thick, heavy walls (some of them built to bomb shelter spec)... I've done what I can, but near the corners it's pretty impossible to get the wifi signal.

Sometimes you need a little boost when the router is far away, like in your neighbor's house

Hah, I love messing with people. I just told my boss I had to work on fixing our 802.11g compliance or we'd lose our 10-base-T connectivity.

We don't have a large house,but for some reason, both routers we've had have had lousy reception in our bedroom and the far end of our house. No idea why.

I used to get bad reception in one specific room because the air conditioning condenser unit was smack dab in the middle of the house.

I improved things dramatically with one of these:
Amazon product

(D-Link ANT24-0700/RE 7dBi Omni-Directional antenna, for those whose adblock disables the amazon plug in stuff)

They might just have lousy clients.

My wife just reminded me of something funny that happened back in probably 1999 or so. We had these neighbor kids who were always at our house. Mostly to play my Playstation. Anyway, the older kid was playing something, and my dog started pacing like she was really agitated. So I said, "What's up with you, dog?" The kid answers, "Nothing, what's up with you?"
