California gas goes past $6 dollar

China/Shaky building/Collapsing

C-note says...

This is so bad in China. This video barely scratched the surface. People their do not have access to the american markets so they try to create wealth by investing in property. I have a friend who rented an apartment a few years ago in a upscale building near the heart of Shanghai. 3 months after signing the lease his water pressure dropped drastically. 6 months later the apartment hard no water pressure at all. The landlord still expected the rent but he packed and moved out at night.

Graphics card woes

Chairman_woo says...

I have a R9 280x and to be honest I've never really seen it get past about 60% GPU & 2ish Gig of the Vram.

However I'm only running a single 1080p monitor, nor am I running any kind of upscaling based anti aliasing.

The future seems to be 4k monitors and for the serious psychos 4k eyefinity and maybe even that silly Nvidia 3D thing.

When you start to get into anything like that (and 4000p will inevitably come down to consumer level in price), coupled with the recent push for texture resolution in AAA games, all your're futureproofing starts to go out of the window.

The reason people are pissed off is because this card could have easily seen users through the next few years of monitor and games tech and they artificially gimped it such that anyone that wants to stay reasonably cutting edge will have to buy new cards in 2-3 years.

4 gig is fine for now, but it's a joke that a new top end card would have less Vram than some medium weight cards from two generations ago. Even my 280x has 3.

Long story short resolution eats Vram for breakfast and resolution is where most of the next gen game developments are likely to be biased. It's frustrating but as some others have suggested, it's really nothing new.

Employee at Publix Follows Kids Around the Store

shang says...

Well never had any lawsuits, but of course people understand that loss prevention will follow you around an upscale store. Did it in Macy's in New York for 10 years. People whined and were asked to leave if they didn't like the policy. And if people came in with baggy clothes or pants sagging, they were also asked to leave the store. Macy's wasn't a public park to goof off in. And on the door they reserve the right to refuse service to any one on any reason.

but that's upscale "Snooty" stores for ya, but hey, it paid damn well.

and I wore a suit, but we did have plain clothes that did work in same department, but the suit was to put public pressure as everyone knew what I was up to when I followed a customer. And if someone refused to empty a pocket, a cop was available to check them and if they were clear they were free to go.

IT was a bit gestapo I admit, but that's how it works in large cities, and there has been no lawsuits and won't be, cause the company has the right to run their business any way they wish. If customers quit buying the stuff in mass then of course they'd change or whatnot, but customers won't, plus Macy's and many upscale stores in New York pride them self on being assholes so they can sell to a specific demographic, rich/celebs/etc. that demographic won't be caught dead in a crappy store like Walmart for most part.

I too worked as a plain clothes security officer (loss prevention) in a major department store, and I can't fathom that a professional loss prevention department worth a shit would make a stop solely based on a "funky bulge". I could only assume bad stops and lawsuits would be a constant issue for any department operating that way. Also I seriously doubt that dude was in ln loss prevention dressed like that. If you're trying to catch people stealing you don't wear clothes that make you stand out like a sore thumb. I'm guessing he was just a store employee. Most likely management.

Also ive had a few African American roommates and friends and it was very apparent that store owners and or employees would watch them based on the color of their skin. It NEVER happened to me with my white friends ONLY with my black friends, and it happened quite a bit.

just my two cents

Make me laugh, get Torchlight 2 (Blog Entry by campionidelmondo)

probie says...

A drunk walks into an upscale pub and, after a while, leans up against the bar.
"A snifter of Louis XIII," he slurs and drops three $100 bills on the bar.
The bartender, taken aback for a moment, looks the disheveled man up and down.
"Big spender!" the bartender says, pouring his drink.
"Life is good," the drunk replies, and promptly tosses back the cognac.
The bartender takes a second look at the man; his hair is a mess and his suit hasn't seen a dry cleaner in a while, and he swears the man smells faintly of urine. Hardly someone who can afford such a fine cognac.
"Inheritance?" the bartender presses.
The man looks up.
"No, no...I bet people. And I always win," the drunk smirks.
"What do you mean always?" the bartender asks.
The drunk takes a moment and looks around the bar.
"Here. You see that glass over there?" He points to a an empty mug of beer at the end of the bar, 20 feet away. "I'll bet you $100 I can piss in it from here."
Impossible! the bartender thinks. "You're on," the bartender says, shaking the drunk's hand (and quickly wiping it off on his apron).
Unsteadily, the drunk climbs up on top of the bar, pulls his dick out and begins peeing everywhere. He stumbles and steps in his own piss, causing him to slip and he plummets off the bar. The bartender looks over the railing and sees the man lying flat on his back, hands flailing, as his piss arcs up into the air and hits him directly in the face. The bartender erupts with laughter at the comical sight, slapping his hand on the bar in triumph.
Suddenly, across the room, a man shouts in anger and rushes the bar. "Are you fucking kidding me?!" he screams.
Surprised, the bartender says "What?! What?"
The angry man points down at the drunk and yells, "He just bet me a thousand dollars that he could piss all over your bar and you'd laugh about it!"

How Jaws was Restored on Blu-Ray

probie says...

I made it a rule not to buy any movies older than 2005 on Blu-ray simply because most movies would just be upscaled versions of their DVD counterparts with some possible cleanup involved. *Unless* it was a classic and went through a complete restoration, The Wizard of Oz as an example. Watching that on Blu-ray is just phenomenal. (Except for that rogue hair that's STILL stuck in the camera at the end. Don't get me started on that....)

I'll probably pick this up at some point, after the price drops.

What knife fights are really like

chilaxe says...

>> ^fuzzyundies:

A guy was stabbed to death in my apartment building last night, apparently at a drug-fueled party. I live in an upscale area (heart of downtown Santa Monica), so it's not just an issue of "cleaning up a ghetto". Crazy passion knife rage can happen anywhere.
I had a lot of time to think today about what I'd do if I'd been at that party. I say appease, beg, bargain and run.


Also, when I visited Santa Monica, I was expecting a beautiful California paradise, but I was surprised to find that the only areas I saw seemed like a dirty ghetto.

If you live in close proximity to that, you're at an elevated chance of some of that dysfunction bleeding over.

The range of outcomes is the same in good neighborhoods and in San Francisco's incompetent urine-soaked ghettos, but the averages are very different.

It wouldn't be possible for a smart person to be murdered at that party, because smart people wouldn't be at that party.

Amazing Speech by War Veteran

90210 Christmas Special: 200 Christmases In 2 Minutes

Is this from a single episode?


Absolutely:

Season 2, Episode 18: A Walsh Family Christmas
Original Air Date—19 December 1991
Steve arrives in Albuquerque, New Mexico and tracks down his grandfather, Al Brown, a diner owner. Al explains that his daughter gave up Steve because she was very young and wanted him to have a good home. He sadly reveals that Karen Brown died in a car accident many years ago. Steve leaves flowers at her grave, and convinces an eccentric Santa-like charter pilot to fly him home for Christmas. Back in California, Cindy is depressed about her first Christmas in Beverly Hills. She invites the kids' friends and their families for Christmas Eve dinner, but everyone has other plans. Brandon visits Emily in a psychiatric hospital, where she is doing very well. Meanwhile, Brenda begins work at an upscale clothing store. A mysterious old man steals a Santa Claus suit from Nat at the Peach Pit, and later shows up at the boutique store where Brenda works. She feels bad when her brass boss throws out the cheerful old man. After work, Brenda stops the police from harassing the old derelict wearing the Santa suite and invites him over for dinner, much to the wariness of Jim and Cindy. Also, Dylan goes to see his father in prison, and talks with the same Santa. Elsewhere, Kelly's mother, Jackie, is furious when David's father, Mel, backs out of Christmas Eve plans because his estranged wife asked him to come over with David. Samantha, Kelly, Jackie, Andrea, David, Mel, Donna, Dylan, and Steve all show up at the Walsh house for dinner and caroling. The old man in the Santa suite gives everyone presents and describes his lonely life: his children are grown and his wife died a year earlier. He thanks Brenda for her kindness and generosity, then mysteriously disappears as footsteps are heard on the roof.

Feel Free to Say WTF

Shepppard says...

This is retarded.

From what I've seen and read, this woman is basically trying to turn peoples fetishes into a stage show.

Frequent masturbation, defication and urination on-stage, coupled with naked dancing and bad acting.

She's not trying to be an artist, she's trying to be famous. She lacks talent, therefore she draws a crowd by doing stupid things that you'd generally only see on special websites.

I'm not against a person doing those things, but don't put it on a stage and try to pass it off as art... at least not theatre art. I go to a theatre, I expect to see something of value and merit. Someone who can sing, dance, or deliver lines in a meaningful way.

This qualifies more as an upscale porn-shoot.

Being a Dickhead's Cool! (Ode to London Hipsters)

shagen454 says...

Whoever did this obviously knows what's up. Warehouse shows, fixies, no sock loafers... seemed to have forgotten upscale coffee, Starbucks? Come on everyone knows Starbucks is definitely not cool. Anyway, must be a hipster dickhead too; since that would explain why it's hipsterly ironic.
