Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

Btw, you're painting a picture of Tucson as a much more wild place than it is.

You're not fooling anyone but yourself. Cities in Arizona are a testament to man's foolish arrogance. Living in 115° heat is not natural.

What do you get for mpg and do you like plug your car in or does it charge off the gas motor?

Varies depending on season, but it averages 42-45 mpg. I don't plug it in (the newer Fusions offer that option in the higher model). It charges from the gas motor, from braking, and (as Bryce mentioned) from the wheels if I'm coasting downhill.

I got a Panasonic DMP-BDT500 hooked up in the ManTown armoire.

Well, or a testament to not being a puss. Wait - I live here. Okay, that blows a hole in that theory.

For those of you who missed it in the previous sentence - "in that theory."

Not all cities in Arizona are hot - just the ones in the southern part. Speaking of 115°F, I still remember delivering papers in that exact temperature - in Illinois. Pretty toasty, but I was a lot younger and it didn't phase me that much. A/C, despite probably killing us all in the future from CFCs, is a wonderful thing. Honestly, it wasn't all that horribly bad driving the rest of the way home with it being over 100° and sunny out on Thursday. But, yeah, I took a shower when I got home.

I just saw (11 months after it happened) that someone copied my video review on YouTube for the Denon AVR-E400, copied text from my Amazon review for it...but didn't mention the original material at all.

Pretty sweet that someone liked it enough to share it, though.

True. If it were my review I'd be happy just knowing somebody had thought enough of it to read let alone steal it. Congrats.

Well, look at you. That's a nice one. I missed (or just forget) seeing when you got that, if you mentioned it. Time for an update to your system thread with some pics.

It's what I had in the LR when I got John's 83se. I ended up with it as a spare and when the new monitor showed up there really was no reason to not hook it up. My prior displays didn't have hdmi or HDCP compliant dvi. I've got a couple of concert BRs and there's a bunch of stuff from yaa that I never got around to seeing. Game on ... I guess I could look for some of that bass demo stuff and see how it does in here with the diy subs.

It's got to be tough to find the time to watch even a portion of those surveillance videos.

 

[Adam]

Ewww, just got an e-mail for Buy One Get One Free from Papa John's. Speaking of game on...

 

[Adam]

People are just weird.

Trial it up, man! I love me some streaming video.

 

[Adam]

I'm getting ready to hook up a new monitor to check it out. It has no wall mount feature, which strikes me as odd. Also, it has two HDMI inputs and one VGA input - but no DisplayPort or DVI inputs. That, and the power cord has a 90-degree angle on the plug, so it's going to be tough to find a spot on my power strips for it. Some odd design choices, but hopefully the picture is good.

Infant formula tastes really, really bad. I thought it was made for infants...not out of them.

I broke down and ordered some from Vine. Hey, it was a six-pack of drinks. I was weak. And now, I might be sick...

I think you had to be a little sick to order that stuff to begin with and I was interupted with fries and a burger mid post but felt the message was complete enough due to an imagined time value so I hit submit. Realm of anything pure and holy or some other cliche ... normal, decent.

Drinking infant formula wouldn't be so surprising if it was Doug spiking it with vodka.
