Good place to take a nap if you like having to take a leak evey 5 minutes.
lol, I can 100% confirm you can....dangle or hang in the center hatch to unleash the kraken. I find that laying on my stomach with my dick hanging in the hatch like some massage table glory hole makes for amazing peeing, and it's seriously perfect for a comfortable butt hang which can result in amazing 5m poop-pollock masterpieces below.

Damn near got dehydrated in college doing my research project watching ducks on a beaver pond. Have to piss every 5 minutes listening to the water trickling.

smartphone? or is like google/iphone maps not good in Germany?
I guess that would work but she's still rocking her S3 mini, and we don't exactly have a huge data plan (we're cheap fucks like that. 8? a month each gets us 300 minutes/txts and 300MB of so-so internet).

Real navigation is just that much nicer. Plus we'll be using it traveling outside Germany, where the whole data plan thing goes to another level.

true enough, just for future reference from somewhere

I only have a 2 GIG montly limit, so I watch my data pretty closely. I took a 3.5 hour drive last month, and Google Maps used less than 20 Megabytes each way. I was really surprised as to how little data it needs. I imagine if you need to zoom in at anytime for detailed information, it will rack the megabytes up some, but nothing dramatic.

Navmii (used to be NavFree) is a dataless navigation app. All it takes is to download the maps ahead of time. It's not as nice as Google Maps, but when I took a business trip to Australia for 3 weeks, this is what I used to navigate around rather than pay exorbitant international data rates. I had my mobile data turned off the whole time that I was visiting and had no problems at all.

Just got me a Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 for my canon DSLR. To get rid of my 18-55 kit lens. It allows 2x light at 17mm and about 4x light at 50mm than the kit lens. Now I can take ambient light shots at iso 400 at home wide open and still maintain 1/30-1/100 shutter depending on lightsource. Plus its stabilized so I can go down to about 1/15th without the fear of motion blur. I got it used like new in box, from the looks of it probably never used on amazon for $275 lol.

I had a few Amazon gift cards laying around from Christmas that I needed to use. We are closing on our new home in a month, and I needed something to power a 2-story home. This thing is MASSIVE and ugly looking, and so far very powerful. Plugged in and online in less then 5 minutes and has a TON of features.

I bought a new king sized bed and mattress, they're being delivered this weekend.

Am I supposed to tip the guys delivering/installing it?

I'd throw them a few bucks if they are doing all the work; putting it together. If you are already paying for the delivery, then maybe less on the tip.

I think we're paying $40 for the frame and $40 for the mattress - I don't remember because when we were paying the $3000 or whatever all I saw was money signs in the air.
