    Arguments for/against sex robots.

    Yes, this is for real. and, compared to my first wife, this might have been an improvement. She was kinda a robot, only with the batteries removed. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2015/09/15/ethicist-calls-for-ban-on-sex-robots/

    Chicago implements tax on streaming services.

    9% on streaming services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, Spotify, etc, etc... The good news is that the citizens are fighting back. Is this the way of the future? http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/09/11/chicagoans-sue-city-over-amusement-tax/?intcmp=hpbt3#

    Wow. the spam that shows up here at night is incredible.

    Having more than a few sleepless nights lately, I've been doing the graveyard shift here. the nonsense/roboposts that show up here are numerous and bizarre. To the mod's credit, they disappear almost as soon as they appear but the sheer number and nonsense of these is staggering. Keep up the...

    Remember the "12 records for a penny" days?

    Well, they are officially over. Columbia house filed for bankruptcy. Actually, I wasn't aware they were even still around. http://money.cnn.com/2015/08/10/news/columbia-house-bankruptcy/index.html?iid=hp-stack-dom

    Saturday Audio.

    Saturday Audio on Belmont Ave in Chicago. Are they gone? The web site is down. I check their used page occasionally but this time the web site looks like it's gone. I know they totally changed their format a few months ago. Anybody know them, or what's up with them?

    Sharknado 3: Oh, Hell No.

    Syfy finally realized that these movies are supposed to be fun, nothing else. they threw away any pretense at making a "serious" movie and concentrated on cheezy SFX, as many cheap tongue in check laughs as possible, and injecting as many cameos as possible, not unlike nuts in a fruit cake. It...

    I Lost my Wedding Band!!!

    I 've lost a considerable amount of weight recently and just noticed that my wedding band is missing. Now, I NEVER take this off so it must have slipped off at some point in my travels and it's nowhere to be found locally. ...I've been wondering why all these hot young chicks have been...

    Ant Man

    Arguably the best MCU movie yet. Previously I thought Iron Man 1 and Winter soldier were tied. This movie, however, is done in a much lighter vein. You get somewhat of a hint in the trailers on TV now but seeing it le like eating a York Peppermint Patty. And, it's VERY tied into the MCU...

    It looks like Gene has a stalker.

    Good ole "Rich B" seems scarily obsessed with playing one site against another. http://www.hydrogenaud.io/forums/index.php?showtopic=109682&hl= This is the same guy who brought us this thread a few weeks ago. http://forums.audioholics.com/forums/threads/bi-amping-question-for-gene.95122/

    "It's no fun to be stupid unless you flaunt it."

    Unfortunately, it was usually in reference to something I did, but these guys epitomize that saying perfectly. Can you guys come up with some other examples? http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/not-cool-utah-teens-arrested-after-taping-ice-cream-theft-n391931

    Johnathan Strange and Mr Norrell, on BBCA

    This is an alternate universe type that takes place in the 1800 England, where magic once had been common but has disappeared for the last several hundred years. Now, people meet to talk about it (theoretical magicians) but nobody seems able to do it. Until now. the settings are great as is...

    SACRILEGE!!!

    I don't normally post here, but I just had to get this off my chest. We just tried a new "Moe's Mexican Grille" that opened in our area. The food was "meh" but apparently they have custom muzak pumped in. Why do I say this? I heard an extended elevator style rendition of "Smoke on the...

    Vincent D'onofrio

    I've always liked this guy's work but seeing him as Mr. Big in Netflix's Daredevil, it occurs to me that he would have made a great Lex Luthor. Looks just like he did in the comics when I was growing up and portrays a quiet, powerful menace.

    Here's a great way to liven up a family picnic.

    Yeah, I know it should be "coarse". I didn't make the meme. I just borrow 'em.

    Chef

    I remember seeing the commercials on TV for this when it first came out and since I like Jon Favreau, I was curious but wasn't about to spend the $$ to see it in a theater. I have it on my Netflix queue but yesterday, while cocooning at home while we got more snow, I found it on Netflix...

    Aaaany Americans have any experience with mail order Canadian Pharmacies?

    Not to slight my buddies from the north, but if you're wiase acres like me, I would have some smarmy comments myself. ;0 Seriously, I just found out I need to start taking Nexium 40 mg and even with my drug plan, this is one pretty pricey pill. I do see that some Canadian mail-order company...

    It's a good week at Mickey Dees.

    I'm a happy camper. It's two Filet-o-Fish sandwiches for $4 at Mickey Dees. And, it's two Sausage Egg McMuffins for $3 as well. Those are the only two things on their menu I like. Yes, it's a good week. [edit] Oops... that's $4 for two fish sandwiches.

    Samsung TV's injecting commercials into user's media.

    "Samsung says that this incident was an error, and that's almost certainly true. However, one thing is clear: Samsung is, at the very least, experimenting with running ads in third-party apps. Don't be shocked if this type of advertisement makes a full return in the future, or if other...
