And that is why I’m afraid to have one. I have curious cats. I’m likely to put one up in my bathroom and the cat starts batting at it, and I end up with an apartment full of Angel Soft toilet paper and an empty bank account!

I think that most people see anime as one of two things:

1) It’s a cartoon, and cartoons are for kids. Never mind that there are some GREAT anime stories that are much more aimed at teens and adults because of what they are (Akira is probably the best one that comes to mind, but the series Area 88 and Macross/Robotech…

DING DING DING!!!

This is me. I would much rather watch something via Hulu, Netflix, Crackle, Amazon Instant Video, etc. than to try and find it for download. Part of it is the risk of having my internet service shut off, part of it is the quality, part of it is the risk of having suits sue my ass.

I’d rather stream…

If you are a console gamer from the 80's and 90's, you MUST read Console Wars. Sure, some of it is fictionalized; Blake doesn’t lie about that. He even puts that out there in the preface. But it’s well written, it was a good look at the industry, and it was the basis for a full room panel at San Diego Comic-Con 2…

Dean has burned every bridge out of town on his way to Los Angeles. And frankly, I don’t really care anymore. He had a shit team this year and refused to spend money to make things work. Hell, he’s refused to spend money on a team for years. Even when the team went 1-15, he brought in Ryan Leaf and didn’t bother to…

My wife refuses to let me “upgrade” anything anymore. It’s “You buy it maxed out with everything, or not at all!”

I guess it’s because I tried to take apart a printer and clean out a gear that had some gunk on it that would, every once in a while, cause a sheet of paper to get eaten. Well, when I took it apart, the…

Perfect! Just found that the spare Lightning cable in my wife’s car got cracked and is splitting, so this is a deal for me!

“Queer perspectives” - LGBTQ type of meaning, or the Mirriam-Webster definition, “differing in some odd way from what is usual or normal”? I’m ok with either, not offended, just not sure which you mean.

Honest opinion? I LOVE the ability to row through the gears in my Mustang GT. Knowing I can put it in first, turn off Traction Control (aka “The OH SHIT Burnout Button”, as my wife likes to call it), and break the tires loose. It’s a blast for that.

I know when I went and bought my wife’s Mini Countryman S in 2013, I spent quite a bit of time looking at what she said she wanted - a compact SUV with 4 doors, great gas mileage, and decent acceleration.

Well, thinking about the content of the tamales, then...You might not want to do dessert ones, like the pineapple raisin or orange mango tamales. The moisture might be too much, and it’ll probably fall apart. :(

The thing is that I HAD a dark suit. A white jacket, purple cravat and pants meant money I had to spend that took away from what I could spend at Con.

The ONLY argument I will make for an auto transmission is California traffic on the 405. After 15 min. with a manual transmission, your left leg has developed a Charley Horse that could take the Triple Crown.

Local news has already said the guy’s been fired and San Diego PD is investigating. This is actually sex offender territory.

I dressed up as Kingpin for SDCC this year, sadly, everyone (with the exception of 2 people) thought I was one of the security guards. Black suit, black shirt, 95 degree heat, and sweat rolling down my shaved head...*sigh*

I can probably get most of those hot sauces at my local “Hot Licks” hot sauce shop, but Cholula is great stuff. :) I just think there’s other flavors that go better with certain things. :)

I’m funny about my hot sauces. Certain things, I want Tabasco for - scrambled eggs; I love green Tabasco on them, and crawdads or seafood gumbo call for the vinegary flavor of either Tabasco or Louisiana Rooster Sauce (depending on which is available at the restaurants I frequent for those foods).

But for tamales?…

I second this. I REALLY want to see if this works, as I LOVE tamales with some Cholula shaken over them.

And since it’s coming into Christmas with holidays, there are also dessert tamales, like pineapple raisin, apple, mandarin orange (And yes, they are delicious - the local farmer’s market has a booth where they sell…

Additional white bulbs are $15 for Philips ones over at Home Depot, same price as the Crees that will work with the Philips Hue (but with a bit more work to get them to be visible than the Philips bulbs).

I’m kinda surprised and I’m kinda not. As mentioned by other commenters, most of these cars are of the reliable, long lasting, low maintenance type.
