    Little girl brutally mauled by dogs!

    Those look like golden retriever puppies ():)

    Pokemon Go works in the US.

    I downloaded this game but I don't understand it at all. Does your pokemon themselves level up? Can you do attacks or just throw pokeballs?

    Don't put ketchup on hot dogs!

    You got that right :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    I'm all for the inflatable idea, but my friend is hardcore on a mission to build something....

    Call for ATOT engineers!

    That's what I plan on using. Now I just need to determine what to use for the surface. Thin foam board sheets might work?

    Pool noodles wrapped around 1/2 or 3/4" PVC to hold the shape would work. No place locally stocks ABS or schedule 10 PVC without it being special order.

    3" (3.5" OD) PVC schedule 40 foam core costs $10 for 10 ft here....I'll look into schedule 10 stuff although initial searching shows it's not available at any of the major home do-it-yourself stores.

    Call for ATOT engineers!

    The PVC would definitely be sealed off, I'd plan on installing 4x 90 degree elbows to connect it all and sealing it up. At least 20 holes will be drilled for cups into the top of the board, removing weight. The thing with particle board is once it gets wet, you're screwed. I don't really want to...

    Call for ATOT engineers!

    Looking at making a floating beer pong table out of PVC pipe. I knew that some PVC sizes float, and others don't. Started doing some research, and apparently the weight capacity it can hold depends on how much of the pipe is submerged under water. I found this article that mentions 3" pipe being...

    Anyone Else Excited About iOS 10?

    I'm waiting for the ability to delete pictures I uploaded through iTunes. I hate that right now the only way to do that is by re-syncing the folders from my PC....I should be able to select and delete them just like how I can do with the pictures I took on the phone.

    Do you change your own oil?

    When you have a truck that takes 2.5 gallons of synthetic oil, and clearance isn't an issue, it's much cheaper to just change it yourself.

    401k not growing - anyone else?

    I have my 403b chunked into the following equally: VFFVX (Vanguard retirement date 2055) VIEIX (Vanguard Institutional Index) POSKX (Primecap Odyssey Stock Fund). None have an expense ratio higher than .65%. Not sure how you guys are in ones over 1%...

    ***Official*** 2016 Stock Market Thread

    Debating if I move into the money market after today, I'm not sure the S&p 500 can support more than the 2080-2100 it's at now. Seems like history has shown it reaches this point then caves a bit. I'd rather get in the money market now and buy back in when it's low.

    Plan on $5-8k for a good paint job on that :D

    Buying some home equipment

    I'd like to start working out 3-4x a week at home. I've got enough room in my basement gym to fit 3 decent sized machines (in addition to free weights and dumbbells). Assuming I do my running outside, and not on a machine, what 3 machines would you guys recommend that could be used (in multiple...

    Fish sticks from grocery store - "healthy" fats?

    Which are found in salmonoids and tunas I believe. These white, cheap shitty fish like tilapia and catfish do not contain healthy fats.

    The Walking Dead - season 6 discussion thread

    It's Glenn, there's no way or reason they would follow the comic book that closely with some of Negan's dialogue, only to have them throw a curveball and off someone else.

    Streaming media from one house to another

    They are not. Several miles between them, and different cable providers. Intel does seem to be preferred for these kind of things, just wasn't sure if the mobile market had anything. I was looking at the raspberry plex pi thing, not sure I fully understand it though.

    Why live in Michigan?

    What do you want pictures of, the beach? Houses?

    Why live in Michigan?

    Check out the Leelanau penninsula/Traverse City/Petoskey areas. Very nice places to live, and on the water too.

    Streaming media from one house to another

    Looking for options to stream on the fly media at House A to House B. These are all MKVs I've built myself. Is Plex the only option? For a single stream, what kind of hardware is sufficient for 1080p? Can any of the cheap Android boxes connect to my external drive, then transcode on the fly...

    amazon prime on sale

    Completely. My first order after letting my Prime expire, said it would deliver in 5-8 days with the free shipping, I thought "eh, it's early enough in the day, it will ship either this afternoon or tomorrow". Well it didn't ship until 4 days later, just so it would arrive on day 7 after...

    Golden Age Of Gaming?

    I just don't find modern gaming as exciting as the 90s, even though games these days are much more complex. Too many buttons on the controllers I think :\

    Help deciding between Samsung Galaxy S5 or S6. Will the S5 become obsolete soon?

    Which carrier are you on? That will make a difference, as the Verizon devices are locked down and you can't flash newer custom ROMs on them like you could other carrier's devices (which would extend the life of your device).

    Golden Age Of Gaming?

    I agree. Definitely the 90s for me as well. Great cartridge systems, developers actually put time into games, and the whole gaming community was better then.

    3ds mods/car(d/t)s

    I used to use Gateway 3DS, that thing was bulletproof and the easiest IMO. Never had to deal with eShop crap and whatnot.

    HTC ONE X9 mid/high ranger (maybe not for U.S.)

    If it comes to Verizon I'd give it a try. I'm really tired of Verizon locking down the Samsung devices, and the current HTC M9 has it's fair share of flaws. The Nexus devices in the 5" range have terrible specs too.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens reviews *SPOILERS*

    stay with verizon or jump ship?

    Smartphone monthly access is $20 a month now on Verizon's new plans, and 6GB of data is $60. So you'd be looking at $100 a month, assuming you had no company or corporate discounts. Even less if you could do with less data. I know here, T-Mobile sucks anywhere outside the city limits. Like going...
