    Driverless Cars in 2016

    Mass transit just isn't efficient in the majority of US cities. We have too much land and we're too spread out in all but the handful of largest cities. Most people would still need to own a car to drive to their nearest mass transit pickup spot. The population density just isn't there...

    Can't say I've ever seen that before TCU blocked Oregon's punt...ball is still airborne but behind the line of scrimmage(it basically went straight up, maybe forward 5 yards), Oregan player grabs it on the fly and runs for a first down. LOL

    Driverless Cars in 2016

    That's the main problem so far. Driverless cars follow the rules/laws so well that they're actually kinda dangerous with humans driving around them. Driverless car will drive the speed limit of 65 while everyone else is going 80 and passing them on both sides. Driverless cars can get stuck at...

    Hot foods never burn on the way out but they make me sweat like a hooker in church. Even watching videos of people eating insanely hot foods makes me have a pavlovian response with my mouth tingling and my brow getting damp.

    We could have had this playoff: 1) Clemson vs 8) Notre Dame 4)Oklahoma vs 5) Iowa 3)Michigan St 6)Stanford 2)Alabama 7)Ohio ST Then you likely still end up with a Clemson-Oklahoma semifinal, but an Alabama-Stanford semifinal on the other side. And those games would have...

    8 team playoff, and start the playoffs immediately after the season ends(maybe give 1 week off). Sitting around for a month before playing the games makes them a total crapshoot. Conference championship games were Dec 5th. Skip Dec 12(wasn't Army/Navy that weekend?) Then you have 3 weeks...

    Been that way for several years now. I think they actually used to have more than they do this year. A couple years ago they had something like 39 of the 40 bowls. This year is only like 34 of 42 or something.

    I'm on Sprint, and the only other thing I can think of is that our old phones used to always just say "4G" as the connection, whereas these new phones specifically say "LTE" instead of "4G". I wonder if that's just a UI difference, or it's actually a different connection/network that I'm on...

    So after using our new phones for about a week now, I can undoubtedly say that the battery life on our new phones suck. My Note 5 isn't lasting as long as my Note 3 did, and my wife's S6 isn't lasting as long as her S5 did. We're running the exact same apps as we always have, same usage...

    Yeah, when we were in the NICU for 2 months, and the nurses were telling us about those machines and how we would probably have one when we went home. We thought it sounded like a good idea, would stop us from worrying so much at night, but pretty much every nurse let us know that we do NOT...

    The thing is, texts shouldn't cost anything, it uses effectively zero bandwidth. I don't think Sprint or AT&T or anyone else charge anything extra for texting anymore. I have Sprint and I haven't paid for texting since the days of flip-phones.

    I mean, you wouldn't want to get this stuff just for the sake of insurance savings, i think we give like 3% discount per smart device up to a max of 15%, so it's not like you'll be saving a ton of money, but it might add up to a couple hundred bucks. Better than nothing If you were going to get...

    Upgrade the video card. You might need a bigger case to get a decent video card in there. I'd also upgrade to an SSD as your boot drive. With a new video card(something like an Nvidia 970, or AMD 290/380) and an SSD, it'll feel like a brand new machine. It'll run anything you throw at it...

    Freezing temps won't really hurt a phone that is powered off, while in transit. There aren't any moving parts(like mechanical hard drives in PCs). I'd just make sure when you receive it to maybe let it warm up for a few hours before turning it on, if it's been sitting out on your porch in a...

    As long as you aren't using loose blankets and bumper pads, there isn't much danger in stomach sleeping. At 2 months the kid is strong enough to move their head/neck around. They aren't going to sleep face-down on a flat mattress to the point that they can't breathe. It takes blankets or...

    10c per text would send me into a murderous rage just on general principle. I had no idea that there were carriers out there that still charged per text. At 10c per text, you're paying $750 per MB of data. MB, not GB mind you. 1 max character text(140 char) = .0001335 MB, or basically 7500...

    It is amazing how many games you can win with an average offense, an average starting rotation, but a phenomenal bullpen(Royals). At that point you have 9 innings to score when the opposing team only really has 6. That's an incredible advantage. Then again, trying to put together an all-time...

    If my current thermostat requires batteries, does that mean I probably don't have a C-wire?

    I'll put in another vote for Banshee, like it almost as much as Spartacus. I tried to give Vikings and Black Sails a chance but couldn't make it more than a couple episodes into each series before quickly losing interest. Banshee is bad ass though.
