    AT&T Users: I'm looking for a phone

    I'll consider an iphone, but I am not really interested in all of the extras. All i need is to call, send multimedia messages, set an alarm clock, and save stuff in a simple calendar. Here is the biggest thing i worry about with a smart phone: I am NOT getting a data plan. Can you disable the...

    AT&T Users: I'm looking for a phone

    The local stores have idiots and half of their display phones are locked ("Hey, do you know the password so I can try this phone?"/"Uhh, no...AT&T sent it to us like that"). So, in short, I need help picking a new phone. My last phone was the Pantech breeze, had it for 4 years and, while i...

    Alternatives to Cable TV

    Purchase cable internet only, then slip the cable service tech a fifty? When they look at money, they are so preoccupied they forget to hook up the cable trap. Then again, that isn't strictly legal..... :(

    NetFlix Thread

    Thread from the dead! Post movies that are often overlooked but should be watched here: The House of God This movie is not a religious one. It follows a group of medical interns through their first year of medicine (this is not a documentary; it's fiction, but has a lot of reality)(for better...

    Strategic planning for home invasion situation

    I don't have any actual data to back this up, so take this as my personal opinion, not statement of fact (if somebody can find actual test data for this, please post it here): I wouldn't load buckshot for my home defense because I feel that it would probably go through walls and damage/injure...

    Strategic planning for home invasion situation

    I have several weapons stashed in various easy-to-access places throughout our house (no kids). Any place where I sit or lay down in my house has a weapon in reach. Long gun in the closet, pistols throughout the house.

    mk3 4 a first car

    Bad idea for a first car. You want a good first car? Get an early '90s ford f-150. Cheap to buy, cheap to insure, cheap to maintain. Find a manual tranny f-150 that hasn't been run to death, don't beat on it hard, and it will last you for years. I don't mean any disrespect, but if you aren't...

    Decisions desicions....Career path related advice greatly appreciated!

    A hospital is generally a dead-end for a PT in that there is no where to really go with it (with pay or advancement), except to go private. Get experienced, get a good reputation, and you can open your own practice; do really good with that, and you can have other PTs working for you. PTs don't...

    Decisions desicions....Career path related advice greatly appreciated!

    First point: how do you define stress? If you are referring to emotional stress, hospital-based healthcare management isn't for you. You won't have to deal with most direct patient situations, but you still have to manage the employees in your facility. In the hospital, those employees ARE often...

    Alabama Open Carry question?

    I second the comment on comfort. It gets Damned hot and muggy here, and often times it is more comfortable to OC. See my attachment. Also, see this site: http://opencarry.org/al.html Lastly, when somebody tries to tell you "Oh yeah? Well, the state may allow it, but there is a city...

    Job VS Career

    The difference is a state of mind. I was a lineman at a small airport (I pumped avgas); for me, it was a temporary job. For my loser coworkers, it was a career.

    How often do you change your car insurance companies?

    I have USAA. So far, nobody's rates have come close to what I get, and are usually double what I pay. 2006 Ford F-250 Turbodiesel - comprehensive coverage with $1000 deductible 2003 VW Beetle TDI - Comprehensive coverage with $500/$300 deductible (Wife's DD) ($500 for comp deduct, $300 for...

    What spins a turbocharger?

    Exhaust gasses moving at high velocity spin the turbocharger. When you lose heat from that gas before it reaches the turbo, you are losing energy, energy that would have been spinning the turbine and thus driving the compressor. That has nothing to do with EGT. That is because - if pressure...

    Cell phone thread

    I was thinking about my cell phone earlier because it seems that these days I am the only person who doesn't surf the internet with a touch screen. So I got curious and started this thread: What kind of phone do you have, and how long have you had it? For myself, I have a Pantech Breeze, and...
