Nope.

I don't know what I did to my body to **** it off so much, other than eat a bit unhealthy, but nothing too over the top.

 

Snow picking up a little here. It was supposed to be gone by now, but somehow it continues to fall and we have had 1.5'' in the last hour or so. Quite a lot for these parts. We got maybe an inch yesterday for Christmas.



PS. This 18-55 VR lens is amazing. Coming from the kit non VR 18-55, it's a whole new world. That shot is a 2 second exposure on a monopod and it's damn near perfectly sharp with no shake. One of my gifts to myself this Christmas.

 

 

I hear that!

I wonder what they are using for finger followers on that 4G63

And a 9000cc injector?!

 

Dear god, Tom Cruise almost killed me just now. I almost laughed/coughed myself to death over this goddamn gif.



I guess it just caught me at the right moment or off guard.

 

to bad its been tainted with little clips from movies. But, almost all there.

 

It's been a good Christmas so far...

 

Thats awesome^^

Now for the funniest thing you will see all day

 

After a Sony Bravia lasted 18-months, my Samsung DLP lasted only 2-years, I just bought a 55" Walmart house brand LCD for $780 w/ 3-year extended warranty included in the price. I feel like I just bought a Yugo but after looking at the TV it didn't look $500-worse than the expensive Tv's...actually it looked just as good as the TV's which were properly adjusted at the store. I got that, a new Xbox w/250GBHDD/integrated wifi, Forza, and another controller for $1250 shipped to my door. Yes, I plan to use the warranty but I don't expect it to die before the $$$ TV's died. Moving the computer monitor into the livingroom was getting old and when it's 27*f out and can't help but play Forza.

 

So I'm not the only poor bastard with Samsung DLP issues. I'm still waiting to be able to afford to fix mine, which will be $150 for the main board. I haven't had a TV for over a month. I haven't missed it in some ways, but in other ways I'm going crazy not having it.

 

Did you DLP chip die to? Stars all over the screen?

I have a 5075S that I'll send you salvage parts from if need be. I was going to fix mine with the $240 chip but the capacitors were swollen on the power supply, the color wheel clicks, and the bulb is probably due for a change. It made sense to get something new.

 

Mine was having a common problem for my model (Series 6 56'') of the TV restarting over and over again on a ~15 second loop. Would power on, you would see the picture and hear sound just like normal, but you could see slight fluctuations in brightness. Then after 15 seconds or so it would go black, then power down and restart. After buying the service manual from Samsung it pointed me to the main board being the problem. I guess it's sending the power supply a bad signal and causing it to trip some sort of safety device for either electrical load or heat. Either way, $200 with a $50 core charge and it should be going again, but many people have repeat issues and it will mess up again in several months, or it could go forever and be fine.

 

Yeah, I caught that too. Still though, a good majority of the clips are from home videos and news broadcasts. I think it's a decent representation of how fucked up the Taliban are.

 

I make some terrible decisions when it comes to my health. Putting off the follow up visit to the urologist for the kidney stone has very likely caused me to lose one of my kidneys function. I figured it had passed beyond the ureter into the bladder, but it apparently has been lodged in the ureter (the tube leading from the kidneys to the bladder) for the last ~2 months, blocking flow from that kidney. So it has probably just shut down by now. Heres hoping neither of my parents need a kidney, or I don't lose the other.

 

Oh that sucks...

 

That sucks man, hope the best for you.

I still need to get a bullet primer removed from my eye brow... long story.

 

I bet it's an interesting story.

Appreciate it.

Not sure whether I should be all upset about it, because I'm not really. I'm just pissed at myself for allowing it to happen. You can make it fine with one kidney typically with no issues, but you lose the comfortable redundancy, and if a family member ever needs it, it's not there. I guess I'll just have to be even more careful now and not get kicked in the side too hard or pound down two 48oz bottles of sweet tea a day anymore.

 

so much cool in here:

I would like that valve cover, the turbo crane, and I'll let you know what else later.

 

Do it.

 

Sleeping to 11:30 ftw. I love being on vacation.
