I'm still enjoying it. They've taken it on this almost 'messianic' ark with Noah and Moon's 'daughter' really being half alien, and being sympathetic to both sides. I'm happy that they're ending it this season, but I'm just happy to have decent sci-fi available on TNT, of all places.

It’s the perception that everything with a certain badge MUST be expensive. My wife wears very expensive sunglasses and clothes, all bought at extreme discount at Marshall’s, Anne Taylor Loft, whatever. Hell, she lost a pair of Oscar de la Renta sunglasses in Mexico a few years ago. They were likely stolen, but she…

It was not. It was more like the memory foam pillows...

I was actually very happy with AT&T U-Verse (via fiber) at my old apartment. We had a couple hiccups with the set-top boxes, but that was TV, not internet. The internet performance was awesome, and the QoS was far better than anything I’ve seen from Comcast.

Intro rates are great for a short period of time, but if you can’t get the ISP to drop the post-introductory rates every time, you’re doing it wrong. All it takes is a little research into the other offers in your area, a quick call, and you’re back on intro rates for another six months or a year.

I don’t necessarily need cheaper, as I’ve been able to keep my 25 Mbps line from Comcast under $30 for the ~18 months I’ve had it, I need more reliable. My internet line drops out several times a day, and frequent calls for support have done nothing to alleviate the issue.

One of my wife’s friends was going all - ‘Oh, a Mercedes, huh? You must be rich, now!’ - when my wife bought her first Mercedes, which was a lightly used 2007 C300 4Matic. I think we paid $23k out the door, in 2009, and it had like 15k miles on it.

I built this as a model when I was in high school.

I haven't used the Cyanogen installer, but I've been running CM since...CM7. CM is not allowed to ship with Google Apps, which include the Play Store, Gmail, etc. To install, you just need to find the latest Gapps for your build, which will be Lollipop, download them, then boot into recovery. This can typically be…

One of my favorite restaurants in Charleston, High Cotton, uses its own label of liquor, and adds three brandy soaked cherries. For the love of God, it's incredible.

I don't trust electricians that don't put electrical tape around the lugs of their receptacles and switches, and if you do that (which you should), these types of wallplates, while novel, will not work, as they will need to penetrate the electrical tape to contact the plate between the lugs.

Essentially, yes. The initial tax payment goes to the state, while the yearly tax goes to the county.

Each state gets you in different ways. I bought my Mustang in NJ (used to live in Cherry Hill), and paid roughly $1500 in sales tax. I then moved to South Carolina a few years ago, and while sales tax on a new vehicle purchase is capped at $300, you have to pay a yearly property tax to the county. For my Mustang…

I'm in the same boat with my 2006 Mustang GT, which I plan to ditch later this year for a 2016 Mustang GT. I'm planning to order the new car, and finance with my credit union. South Carolina only has a $300 sales tax, so the tax incentive is meaningless for me. The car is paid off, and is in very good shape, with…

I think a big part has been that the series favors 888 Racing. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the announcers say that Whincup or Lowndes is under investigation for spinning the tires whilst on the jacks, then they're absolved of the infraction, or one of them blatantly punts another driver, and there's no…

I don't really think Ford is giving a whole lot of support, as-is, so I don't think V8 Supercars will be without a Ford, of some sort. As the Nissans have shown, they're just template racers, just like NASCAR, and throwing a few body panels over a template chassis is the name of the game. FWD cars are on the table,…

It really is helpful, actually. I've been trying to read through what I can, but it's confusing, and I'm a freaking systems engineer! The calculators all seem to work differently, and MFP seems to have been leading me astray for some time. I typically eat fairly well, usually a lot of veggies and lean protein…

I'm interested in how your calorie goal was determined. I'm about 250 pounds, 6'2", and am trying to get down to about 220. MyFitnessPal tells me that I should be eating anywhere from 1700 - 2000 calories, depending on how I configure my activity level (I'm an office worker, but I lift 3-5 times/week, and usually…

Are you serious?

I was ear to ear with a smile during the entire episode, simply because of the awesomeness and absurdity of that smattering of scenes, and one of my favorite Nine Inch Nails tracks. Brilliant!
