They make great 'fries' like that, and are good with a turkey sandwich or by themsevles

That's the method I employ as well. When they can 'say no' to themselves during the conversation after bringing up points like the cost or time, they get the bigger picture. Sometimes it even helps prevent the same situation, as they can think "Ok, last time we didn't have x,y,z and it couldn't be done. Our budget…

If it could be made water-proof again, then I think it'd be even more of a boon.

Indeed. I'll wait and see how 4K does before I upgrade, as my 1080p 70 inch plasma TV is only a couple years old and I don't see myself upgrading so quickly.

Gaming > Sleep. though I'm not sure about getting lucky on that thing hehe.

I'm not complaining about a damn thing, rather, I'm finding it perplexing why someone who spends that kind of cash on all those nice things (including a good looking desk) would cheap out on a bed. It's a legitimate question. Maybe if you spent more time learning to read and less time trolling you'd have grasped that…

Hey if they don't know how/don't care about using their money intelligently then that's on them. I was just adding on to how out of place it looked compared to that several thousand dollars worth of gear.

mine is that he's got all this money tied up into that gear, but a rather crappy looking bed and a standing fan. It's like putting $20,000 wheels on a $500 car

Amen to that. I see it every day during my commute to and from work. I used to 'blend in' slightly with my old G37, but my new Laguna Blue C7 makes me stick out. Not always a bad thing.

Amen. Why the heck should someone with that kind of background get offered minimum wage for that field. It's maddening. Not to mention ads where they want someone with alot of experience or sheepskins, only to find out it's a false ad ,as the position was something that a "peeyon" could do that didn't use or need…

well said

There's always those out there that will continue to hate due to being a failure at life and need something/someone to hate on to make themselves feel important. That "derper' jackhole is a prime example.

Agreed completely. Texting while busy is just as distracting to others as taking a phone call during a meeting. While texting has it's moments, I'd rather get a call if it's important, or if what you need to say/ask me will take more than 2 text messages (and not this " hw r u dng?" shorthanded bullcrap, but actual…

1080p on a smartphone makes a huge difference in terms of just general use, all the way to gaming and media consumption.

I was agreeing with you in a way: the 1/4 ton GM offerings you mentioned are what the OP was originally wanting rather than to have to buy a larger truck to use. Even suggesting that Dodge bring back the Dakota with the same engine being shown off in this Ram pickup.

I hope you're joking/trolling with that reply.

While I understand that budget is a huge factor, it really is time to update out of the SDTV CRT generation of TV Sets. You can pick up decent HDTVs fairly cheap in cost, but they may(?) only be the same size you're running now (19 inch to 25 inch) for under $300. If you've got a higher budget, then you can go larger…

That's the point though. Not everyone needs a 1/2 ton or larger truck, but want more power than what the 1/4 ton trucks offer. Return the Dakota with the same powerplant that's in this Ram and it might be pretty neat. And I'm looking forward to seeing those diesel Colorado/Canyon trucks as well.

Might be a good place to use the forthcoming Ubuntu Touch

Sounds like you gave her the happiest long life she could've asked for. I'm sorry to hear that she has passed. My condolenses
