That looks awesome. 👍 What brand is that? Just the generic danscomp t-shirt or some branded t-shirt?

 

[McLaren]

Those actually look really cool (also AT&T ftl)

Indeed, though they aren't as bad as Sprint.

I haven't had any issues with AT&T besides a couple of dead spots.

Cell reliability is purely regional. AT&T is pretty good in the midwest (at least around my area), Verizon is huge on the coasts, etc.

Discussing quality of cell services with people all over the country is not going to lead you anywhere, as opposed to if you talk to people locally.

Time: 12:50:16pm
Product: Reg Unlead
Pump#: 9
Price: $1.849
Gallons: 10.815
Amount: $20.00

I remember when gas was $4.60/gallon, you could buy a house for 500,000 dollars, bread cost $2.99 a loaf, and there were three major automakers in the United States...

Just bought my first sub-$30 tank of gas for my present car. I smiled at the gas pump for the first time ever.

$20 is roughly £13 at current exchange rates. You'd be able to buy about 3 1/2 gallons of reg unleaded for £13 in the UK, about 96p a litre in any decent garage.

Do you get any kind of fuel tax in America?

It's their customer service I detest. The phones are pretty decent, though I was ticked to hear I needed to buy an internet plan to actually send/recieve texts.

Lastest purchase.
Set of Yokohamas.

I'm with AT&T and I like them, and I get better coverage now that they put up a new tower in my area. I was lucky enough to get added on to my parent's family plan, so I only have to pay 10 bucks a month, plus 5 for my share of the family unlimited texting.

Yes, but it is not nearly as high as yours.

Verizon is like that for MMS with some phones. My Q would only send/receive MMS with the data plan. Now if only they would put MMS on the iPhone, period.

And you're modifying the wrong toy.

And you're modifying the wrong toy.

Don't think of it as modifying, but some well-needed replacing. All the tread from the original, front tires were gone anyways. Do need to go back to Just Brakes, and find out why the new brakes squeak sometimes.

You can get all the "regulars" of the major companies within the 92p region round here. They've all matched the supermarkets.

 

[Omnis]

Do you get any kind of fuel tax in America?

Yeah, a usage fee; it's one of the few legit taxes.

Pupik, have you seen any place where gas is below two bucks?

 

[nick09]

Yes it has dropped below 2 dollars in a few areas in the US.

 

[McLaren]

Yes it has dropped below 2 dollars in a few areas in the US.

But, not everywhere. Dallas stations are staying at $1.85 right now. Then again, lately, the best time to buy gas has been around midnight when the stations try to drop their prices to intice the cross-state/country semis to stay with them for the night.

 

[Perfect Balance]

It's $1.95 here.

picked up these in mint condition today... entire Spiderman: Blue series, yep deep down inside beats the heart of a nerd.

 

[Prosthetic]

Awesome 👍

Also going to see 007 tomorrow afternoon.

I went by GameStop last night, wondering what was being released and why there was a gigantic line. I had no idea there was a huge wait for this expansion.

An expansion on world of warcraft might as well be a whole new game that's really really really hyped.

Ionic Pro. Our house is already very clean since we dont have any kids, dont have any cats or dogs, we dont smoke, we dont allow anyone to smoke in our house, and we dont even wear our shoes in the house. With that said we decided to ge one of these to try and help with Heathers allergies and to help keep the dust down.

While those are nice, we have one of these:

If the ionic pro does not move much air I highly suggest putting it where air circulation will move a large amount of air around it, like near your heating/AC intake vent.

For allergies it should be good though. Both of these were suggested by my allergist. I just went with the giant one because we do have pets and it is rated for an area the size of our entire house. It is a bit noisy as it moves as much air as a large fan.

 

[CAMAROBOY69]

We have ours pretty close to the intake vent of the heater and its also between the living room and our bedroom. Seems like a perfect location. There are 2 other people I work with that have the Ionic Pro and the talked me into getting one. It still looked really clean this morning so hopefully it starts at least collecting some dust or something so I know its working.

It takes about a month for my charcoal filter to really show some dust. I replace it every three months. At that point it looks like it grew its own gray fur.

Give it a week or more. Without pets you may need even more time to notice.

Also, Honeywell makes this little room-sized job for about $25 at Home Depot that would add a little extra to the bedroom if her allergies ever cause trouble sleeping. When I had an actual office with a door I kept it in there. It actually has three stages, charcoal pre-filter, ionic filter, and a HEPA filter. You can turn the ionic part on or off separately. I only found that necessary when I first had it running and it was doing so much that I got a slight ozone smell going on. After letting the HEPA do its job for 24 hours that stopped.

Yeah I noticed that ozone smell right away. It sais thats a good smell. Kinda reminds me of new electronic smell which is a smell I enjoy. Yes her allergies really seem to get to her over the night. Especially when she wakes up in the morning. Lots of sneezing. Strange thing is she never used to have allergies this bad. It seems to get worse each year now.

Oh I also got 2 brand new windows installed last night. I dont have any pictures of those but they sure are nice. 👍

I didn't even see at line at my local GameStop

Like Halo 3?

Craftsman 3/4 horse garage door opener.

Holy crap! For kicks, I just checked out how much Sears charges for installation on this $180 GDO - $140! No thanks, I'll do it myself and have a damn good time doing it, too!

Bought myself a 9800gtx, and the 8800gt i purchased for my friend off eBay, but its mine until he pays for it.
