    2 free years of Shoprunner for PayPal users

    They do seem to have de-emphasized it since they started Premier, but you can still filter by SR eligible in any category. In the filter groups on the left side of a page, scroll down to Useful Links, expand it, then hit Show More. "ShopRunner Eligible" is one of the options to filter by. I...

    What are you looking for this season?

    PS4 Pro. If I'm going to get a PS4 at this point it'll be a Pro, but it annoys me that there are no bundles for the thing yet.

    Teacher (4th grade) dress is inappropriate for school? (pics of teacher in dress inside)

    Buy Lumia 950 XL (unlocked), get Lumia 950 (unlocked) FREE

    That'd work, I think all the android apps I'd want have ios versions too, but I imagine this is the "get the publisher to recompile for windows" type and not the "just install the android apk, we can handle it" angle they'd discussed.

    The Last Dragon remake

    Realistically, I'm too young to have seen it but I have. It's not about when your childhood happened, but what kind it was. And if you didn't see Last Dragon, your childhood was awful.

    The Last Dragon remake

    There is, I've seen the case in Best Buy. I don't remember what special features might've been there, but it was tagged as a 30th Anniversary Edition.

    Buy Lumia 950 XL (unlocked), get Lumia 950 (unlocked) FREE

    If they'd figured out how to reliably run Android apps, I'd buy two sets :(

    What's your work commute? POLE!!!

    Drive 1.5 miles each way, but it usually takes at least 10 minutes. Extra shitty part is I have to cross two train tracks, and one of them is a double set; it's bad enough when one train goes by, but I've had mornings where I had to wait for three trains.

    VIDEO: Miami woman throws fit after Uber driver refuses to give her a lift

    "Social justice" is never justice in these cases. It's vengeance and hatred and needs to stop. Unless she's doing an on-call rotation, in which case I'd guarantee she's not out clubbing, doing something stupid on her weekend should not in any way impact her ability to support herself...

    VIDEO: Miami woman throws fit after Uber driver refuses to give her a lift

    If they independently make the decision to cut ties with her, that's fine. I think they're overstepping their bounds and they shouldn't, but I'm not going to tell them they can't. Public pressure is the entire problem that I'm talking about. Armchair vigilantes who see a situation like...

    VIDEO: Miami woman throws fit after Uber driver refuses to give her a lift

    It absolutely doesn't affect her ability to care for people, because he wasn't her patient. If she did this to a patient, or even a person in her hospital who wasn't her patient, she'd deserve full ruination. Nothing in this incident was related to her profession, her profession should not be...

    VIDEO: Miami woman throws fit after Uber driver refuses to give her a lift

    I have no idea how you can read my posts and think I'm defending her behavior. I said in another post that the cabbie should have pursued charges against her. Her profession should have no bearing on this and this should have no bearing on her profession. Those actions shouldn't be tolerated...

    VIDEO: Miami woman throws fit after Uber driver refuses to give her a lift

    If she were actually treating you or a family member and you heard about this and you made that decision, that's fine. If an individual makes that decision I'm not going to question it. The demons who see something like this and immediately cry for her to lose her ability to support...

    VIDEO: Miami woman throws fit after Uber driver refuses to give her a lift

    Some professions need them, but I don't agree that a surgeon is one. I actually work at a hospital and most of the surgeons are huge assholes. If I wouldn't let one of them operate on me because of what I know of their personality, I'd never be able to get surgery. So long as she's...

    Your opinion is bad and you should feel bad. People need to learn that destroying a person's life over a drunken mistake is not justice.

    AT&T version is now 'on sale' for the price of the Unlocked, if you're willing to take the AT&T unit.

    Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950XL confirmed!

    The Unlocked 950 sale page at least says "Out of Stock" now instead of "email when available," so they're finally admitting it's up for sale.

    Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950XL confirmed!

    Closest is Minneapolis, which isn't close at all :( Are they actually already selling it online? That'd be disappointing if they are, considering I have two emails that were supposed to get alerted when sales started and I've gotten no such messages.

    Microsoft Lumia 950 and 950XL confirmed!

    Anybody seen an estimate for when Microsoft will ship the unlocked 950 in the US? My brother is looking for a new phone, but only the AT&T version appears to be shipping here and that's $50 more for no good reason

    10 Days of 10 Cent Deals, Windows 10 Store

    Do you have a music pass? That would allow it. Maybe they smartened up in the last few weeks and changed it, but I know I started streaming music from it on my XBone a while back and got stopped after 20 or 30 plays, whatever the trial length was, and then it stopped and told me I had to...

    10 Days of 10 Cent Deals, Windows 10 Store

    I haven't looked for any other restrictions, but the biggest issue I have with Groove is that you can't even stream music you bought from them unless you download it and then reupload it to OneDrive. I don't know who came up with that idea, but they're insane. I'll buy music from them when...

    Wife wants new Android phone .... good camera wanted

    This. If you're willing to stretch the budget up a little, the Z5C works fine on Cricket. I ordered one from the UK with Clove, works fine.

    YAGT: OMG I love guns

    Apparently they're built after order by a gunsmith in each location. I didn't ask for detail on what parts they buy, but they're not just bundling a complete rifle from CA or PSA.

    YAGT: OMG I love guns

    I haven't gone in yet or called to ask, so I'm hoping it's just Can't. Completely agree that if I ask and they refuse to tell, the sale's off. That probably would be cheaper overall, even if only by knocking off accessories I don't need, but I do prefer buying something that's just in stock...

    YAGT: OMG I love guns

    Gun shop that just opened in town has an AK47 bundle that I'm thinking about getting. Big thing making me think twice right now is that they don't specify who made the rifle. I suspect it's a Century Arms, but I suppose I won't know until I go in. AK-47 CHAOS PACKAGE $1149.00 Includes...

    The final nail in the coffin for HTC. HTC One A9.

    The black bar is one of the outlets for antennae on the phone, which it has to have because of the metal body. Your dislike of it doesn't mean there's not a good reason.

    The final nail in the coffin for HTC. HTC One A9.

    If I hadn't already ordered an imported Z5C, I might've bought the a9. Just a little too late for HTC.

    I guess you're all as meh about the OnePlus 2 too

    My invite expired well before the supposed 24 hour limit, so it's a moot point for me anyway. Sounds like I'm back to a z5c anyway.

    I guess you're all as meh about the OnePlus 2 too

    I was just about set on ordering a Z5 Compact from the UK, and I randomly get an invite for an OP2 this morning. I still don't think I want a 5.5" phone, but it's at least worth thinking about.

    Xbox One: Want to go digital but have capped internet

    Do they do overnight exemption? My cable company doesn't enforce their "recommended" cap anymore, but when they did they didn't count anything overnight against you. I think it was 11pm-6am.

    Is Blackberry making a slider phone that runs Android?

    Swiftkey has somehow turned horrible in the last few months. Responsiveness has been fine but it's suddenly choosing words that I've never used in my life, let alone typed on my phone. If this thing comes out in time to compete with the next Nexus and the Z5, I will most definitely consider it.

    Budget phone and carrier thread; Amazon Fire phone for $159 plus year Prime? LG Leon?

    Yeah, 4 and 5 lines are the same price, both $100. They have an escalating discount on the group plan where #4 is only $10 after the discount and the #5 is free if you want it.

    Budget phone and carrier thread; Amazon Fire phone for $159 plus year Prime? LG Leon?

    I can't speak to other carriers, but I use Cricket and all fees are absolutely rolled into the bill. I pay $35 a month, done. I use the Basic smartphone plan, which is $40 minus the $5 discount for using autopay.

    Your wish list for the LG Nexus Bullhead (N5 2015)?

    How much time off work do you have available?

    Before July 30th, I had about 270 hours stacked up. No differentiation between sick and holiday and whatever else, just one big pile that you use whenever you use. I currently get 8 hours of PTO per pay period (2 weeks) but within the next couple years I'll go up a tier to 9 hours. I was...
