Speaking of CSI shit, I saw this over the weekend. A tiny microphone, small enough to fit on the edge of a dime and they are indestructible.

I wonder how one of those would sound on a loud guitar cabinet....
You could put 500 of them on a cabinet!!
NH Gov. Sununu signs Constitutional Carry Law. Goes into effect immediately.
That's correct.
Open carry always was legal in NH. One of the lowest gun deaths in the country.
Job interviews always suck. They can be nerve wracking at times. Hopefully I did well in the one this morning.

They can be good for you, too. Often good learning experiences.
This is true. You try to give them some of what they want to hear without TRYING to sound like you're giving them something they want to hear LOL
Just like you're on a date...
We all want to get something out of the date, so yeah LOL

It's hard because you try to give them a more complete picture of who you are and what you offer. Most of their questions don't allow you to do this unfortunately.
That's true! There were things I wanted to say but never got to because of how the conversation went.
That was actually one of the refreshing things about the interview I had with the company I work for currently. One interviewer was asking only technical questions and the other was asking only personal questions. It was an interesting way to do it.
This guy (the CEO) did both. It was refreshing to see a CEO know some technical stuff.
MUCH better seats than the commuter rail to Boston!! Those things were removed from a torture chamber at some point.
Seen 2 movies from when I was a kid .
2010: The Year We Make Contact. I still love that movie!! It tied up most of the loose ends from 2001 and still gives you a sense of wonder 30 years after its making.
Crossroads: Always loved this movie, even though The Karate Kid was the main character.
There was always a weird ending to it, and I recently found out why.
Spoiler ALERT!!
"Lightning Boy" wanted to be a blues man, but played a classical piece to defeat Jack Butler and the devil. Why? From IMDB trivia: ""Eugene's Trick Bag", the updated classical piece at the film's climax, is largely based on Niccolò Paganini's Caprice #5. According to myth, Paganini, sold his soul to the devil for his musical skills. Steve Vai replicates Paganini's legendary rolling eyes, long unkempt hair, and gaunt look."
The song was even said to be an ode to the devil because of its speed, precision, and needing unusually large hands to play the piece, even in today's standards.
Here's a video of the piece. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amfCqFUMBkY

My wife told me to stop acting like a flamingo, so I had to put my foot down.

That band right there may have the most messed up story in the history of metal.
@RojoLoco said in What are you listening to? What would you recommend?:
SEPULTURAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!
I saw them in I think '93 or '94 with Fudge Tunnel and Pantera, if memory serves me correctly.
Great live band! Max and the singer from Fudge Tunnel (too lazy to look up his name and I can't remember it) joined up in Nailbomb. That was a good band!
Movie "Raw" will include barf bags in theaters
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/la-theater-provides-barf-bags-cannibal-movie-raw-987788
Seeing that the movie grossed a whole $78,000 I would say either
A. The movie sucks so bad you NEED it. Or (more probable)
B. It's a stunt to get more $$$$
For reasons that are completely lost on me, the area that I live has a lot of cool and unusual cars. So, I figured I will start a thread on what I see and post them when I do. I'll try to get pics, but if I'm driving...well, Google is your friend 
This morning was a Buick Reatta. Anyone remember these? I think they were the first production car to have a touch screen interface. That's about all it was famous for. Rare to see one.
Totally new to Reddit. Tried to post 2 comments and I get "You are doing that too much". What? Posting to a FORUM SITE?
That has to be the dumbest thing ever implemented. What a joke!!
Rant over.

Ugh! Made the mistake of putting an install directory in a place where regular users can get to it. What do they do? Yup...install it. Nice going, morons!
2nd rant over
If you stand too close to a shit flinging monkey, you get monkey shit on you. But do you blame the monkey for throwing poo? Or is it your fault for standing too close to the monkey?
You can just not feed the monkey so he won't throw poo at you anymore and still be close LOL
Thinking
Inside the Box: Stand farther from the monkey
Outside the Box: Starve the Monkey
REALLY outside the box: Entice the monkey to throw it at you.

Saw this little gem today:
Never was a big fan of Thunderbirds, but OK. The real unusual thing about it was we are expecting 12" of snow today and he is driving THAT thing in it?
My grandfather drove one of those for years. It was canary yellow.
Really? That's cool!!
Hopefully he didn't park it like this guy did in the picture! (I noticed it while I was typing my response LOL.)
