    Head unit suggestions wanted

    I want to replace the stock head unit in a 2001 Corvette Z06 with something I can plug my iPhone/iPod into. Looking to spend around under $200. I did some research and there's just a lot to choose from, so I'm asking you to help narrow down the options. Thanks! Well this sounds good...

    If you get a contact lens stuck in your eye

    Here's a little trick I just discovered and used. Just pull the outer corner of your eye out and up while blinking rapidly. This should cause the lens to fold so you can grab it out of your eye. I'm posting this because never since the first day I got contacts a few years ago did I actually...

    Anyone else swim?

    I decided to try adding swimming to my workout, generally I run for cardio, while 85% of my routine is weight lifting. All I can say is that swimming kicks my butt. I have great running endurance, but this is just at another level. Does anyone else do this? I like it so I'll definitely be...

    Broken Wii, Any suggestions?

    Before I call up Nintendo and see if they'll do anything. Background: Bought this the day the Wii was released, never hacked it in any way. The last thing I did was connect it to my network, it updated and rebooted. For some reason it wasn't connecting to the network, so I had it search for one...

    Wow I'm really disappointed in expedia

    I had a flight, LAX to Sydney tonight, but the airline called and told me it's delayed until tomorrow morning. Not too big of a deal to me, staying home tonight instead of flying. However Expedia, who I booked the flight through, has yet to tell me the flight is delayed by about 11 hours when...

    Looking for travel advice

    I'll be leaving for Australia next week, I'll be there for two months. I'm just wondering if anyone who has been there has advice on what to bring or what to bring back. (I already know what I'm doing and where I'm going) Perhaps someone will post something I haven't thought of. Thanks And...

    Police in Australia Still using revolvers

    Text In the state of Victoria the police are still issued revolvers, while other states use modern semi-auto pistols. This is madness

    How do I find the route for a flight?

    I'm wondering what route the plane is taking for a flight later this summer, anyone know where to find out? Airline is Qantas. Booked on expedia but don't see anything there. Thanks edit: guess I figured it might stop "somewhere" for lax to sydney, but maybe not.

    Need some suggestions for Tasmania

    I'll be in Australia for two months, June and July. I planned for two full days in tasmania (plus about half the day I arrive, but I'll be wasted from the flight), staying in Hobart. I've been looking around for some ideas on what to do there and I'm not turning up a whole lot, so I appeal to...

    For those of you who lift in the morning

    I'd like to switch to early morning workouts because that would seem to fit my current schedule better. I'm just wondering what would be good to eat first? Typically my workouts are around 2 hrs after eating, but that's not possible here. I need something quick too, so maybe 50g protein + some...

    Memory Card size for 1080p video?

    My understanding is that full 1080p is 17Mbps = 5.4GB/hr ? I'm thinking of getting a Panasonic HDC-SD9 which records only to SD cards, so I guess a couple 8Gb cards would be fine eh? Provided I can transfer the files over at the end of the day. edit: no my numbers appear to be way off for...

    BCAAs

    I decided to try a BCAA supplement of around 20g/day, before and after workouts on workout days. From what I've read it seems that many people think it's worth it, and then many others see it as a waste and won't do anything. I don't see any negative effects though. I guess I'll use it...

    Stupid questions demand stupid answers

    I went to a drug store today to pick up some cold medication, so I asked the pharmacist for the more powerful stuff you need ID to purchase now (which is ridiculous). She offers me the 4 hour sudafed and the 12 hour. I ask her "So what's the difference?" She responds "the amount of time it...

    During Workout Supplement?

    I take a pre and post-workout supplement (ON Vassive, works well), and all my bases are covered as far as protein and vitamins go. Is there anything that might help me out such as on squat and deadlift days? those really take a lot out of me.

    What's fun to do in Perth WA?

    It looks like there's a good chance I'll be spending some time in Australia this summer, including about 3 weeks in Perth. While it's not completely vacation (law study abroad), I'll have some free time, so what's some cool stuff to do around there in my free-time? I'll spend time in Sydney too...

    No Pants 2k8

    It looks like this has turned into a huge national event, and 900 people go pantless in NY subways. http://www.improveverywhere.co...08/01/16/no-pants-2k8/ I liked it better when nobody knew what was going on and a few people even got arrested. Still funny though.

    Processor Pairing for an 8800GT

    I'm out of the hardware loop and need some advice. I got an 8800GT and a good mobo to pair with what I've narrowed to to either an E6750 or a Q6600. (and probably 2 gigs of ram unless I should go to 4?) My question really is: Will the 8800GT be limited by the processor with the E6750, and...

    Australian citizenship test too difficult

    Text Apparently a 10% failure rate on the 20 question test is very high, and the test is "onerous, ambiguous, and completely antithetical to the traditional Aussie spirit of inclusion and a fair go for all." Wow so somehow having a test with a 90% pass rate creates a permanent underclass of...

    Is James Bond a super hero?

    I think he is because he's essentially just like Batman, who is a super hero. They both rely on gadgets and some superior abilities (but not supernatural) to handle any situation. Neither of them possess a super power. So if Batman is a super hero, then so is James Bond.

    Need help with sore achilles tendons

    For some reason they just got sore after a short jog yesterday, maybe I didn't stretch enough after sitting all day. What's the best thing to speed up recovery so I can walk normally? heh I know mild stretching is good (careful not to go too much), and anti-inflammatory drugs. What's the...

    Why are there fire sprinklers over the pool?

    It occurred to me earlier this week that the indoor pool at the gym has a lot of fire sprinklers above it, and this seem a bit odd. It's in a separate room, all tile, with a bunch of fire sprinklers. The pool takes up most of this room. Yes I know, mainly to comply with regulations. other than...

    Tiger Woods delivers a spanking
