Did that Samsung Rant come with the PERMANENT KEYBOARD CAPS LOCK???

Man, it's a good thing the Nexus has always been so hard to root and installing a new ROM is so incredibly difficult!

It was worth it, from what I heard, but let's just say the Chinese made some "odd" choices in other parts of the building.

It was at the Chinese Private Enterprise Pavilion at the Shanghai Expo in 2010. It is 1,008 6" spheres each on its own winch, on a completely custom truss & power/data system, designed and built in Las Vegas in about four months. (Now, it's in crates somewhere.)

The best fireworks I ever bought were simply "what was on sale" from the 1.3 (Class B) vendors at my first Western Winter Blast. $3 for a 4" shell? $14 for a 4", three pound cylinder shell? $8 for 5" and $12 for 6" shells?

However, they simply do not enforce the laws on the night of the 4th because people around me are launching 4" and larger shells constantly. (I know the *thump* since I make and shoot shells that size.) Those are…

They're not illegal in Clark County. They are "safe and lame" only, but see my other response in the thread.

Want to know the secret to keeping it moist?

Brisket is the litmus test, for sure.
