Looking back in this thread, you guys pay a lot for cell service. I pay $100/month for 4 lines with 20 GB per line WITH rollover that accumulates up to 20 GB per line. You guys need a cheaper carrier or something. I'm using T-Mobile. They do the 4/100 plan at least once a year. You can lock it...

Laid off for a month now. Not a single callback. I've put in close to 30 applications, which is scraping the bottom of the barrel for my rather specialized skills. On the bright side, there have been no rejection letters either. Some of my former co-workers have received quite a few of those...

This is weird. I returned a motherboard to Amazon (it went directly to the actual seller), and I got my refund.....but then I got the motherboard back. That was weird. It was the same box, and it looked as if it had not even been opened. At first, I thought the return label had not printed...

You know what bugs me? When some new version of tech comes out and the tech/IT/dev media acts like it's the first of its kind when it is not. Like Facebook, for example. Why does everyone act like this was some genius first move on the board? There were popular commercial alternatives, and...

I had a dream that I realized part of the way in was a gritty, realistic version of Super Mario Bros. Including the extra lives, which made it like Edge of Tomorrow. I was not Mario, but I was helping him. He looked like Aragorn + Snake Plisken. He and I were known outlaws in this Generic...

Okay, I watched MoS and BvS finally. Ready the torches and pitchforks: I didn't hate them. They were far better than I was led to believe. I know, I know. I'm a comic book fan and I'm supposed to be burning Snyder in effigy, but they weren't that bad. Especially MoS. Sure, the gritty dark take...

It still amazes me how many people think out of 320 million people that anyone cares who you are, where you are, or what you're doing. The best security feature you have when it comes to the GPS feature on your phone is that you're not the protagonist in a post-apocalyptic dystopian novel. No...

You know what statement bugs me? "Batman wins because of plot". No crap, really? I thought I was reading a documentary. This statement means nothing. That's the whole point. The plot, and Wayne's character, are that he wins on the basis of his brains. Of course the plot relays that.

To follow up on this a little, I read that bent pins were excluded from the warranty on a lot of newer Intel motherboards, even if they come that way from the factory. Fortunately, he bought this motherboard from Amazon, who will take anything back.

I did whether I wanted to or not. It's what my dad liked, and he was the boss of the TV.

What seriously? It's so obviously hammy, and the title is a clear spoof of "Angels with Dirty Faces".

My son is building his first gaming PC. He asked for a graphics card for Christmas, and I got it for him. Was.not cheap. Christmas morning, and we put the PC together. It runs for about 30 minutes, and starts glitching before going into a boot loop. It was the graphics card. I tried it in my PC...

Well, I just got laid off for Christmas. I knew it was coming eventually, but I never thought they'd do it so close to the holidays. The current owners are a heartless investment company that is essentially cutting its losses. Hope they enjoy those visits from three spirits. Seriously why...

The worst part is when you know that they know. You both try to ignore it, but they just stand there with their eyes watering, trying desperately to wrap up the conversation and escape.

Seriously..there is no better way to summon someone--anyone, really--to your office than to finally let go of that fart you've been holding in. It's like voodoo. Brown magic, if you will.

Hmm...I...was a bit of a hypocrite considering how I argued with my own advice in my help thread about my marriage. Guess the shoe was on the other foot. (Though to be fair, that mostly boils down to disguised jumping to my wife's defense, since I suddenly felt guilty about some of the things I...

Oo I know this one since I have an 11 yo daughter. It's like Vine and Musical.ly had a baby, because that's kind of what happened.

"Hey, rando anime minor character! Can you explain X?" "No, I don't really know anything about X." (Proceeds to explain X in excruciating detail) This scene brought to you by every anime.

I finally watched The Return. It definitely took some time to find its legs, but it kind of got there. It's hot and cold, but honestly if I remove the rose-tinted glasses, so was the old show. The best of the bunch was the Santa movie (can't remember the name). That felt like the old days...
