Drifter

Question for you guys that are really into tech/electronic equipment maybe a bit more than I. Today a buddy came over for coffee and we were watching some TV on my big screen 52" down in the office while he was here. After he left I did some errands and came back a couple hours later, flipped the Tv in the office back on and got the "no signal check source" deal on the screen. I checked the source and it was HDMI1 like it should be, yet no signal. I unplugged the HMDI cable and plugged it back in but still nothing. So I tried it in HDMI2 slot and it worked fine. After looking online I found an article that said to unplug the STB cable box, the TV and the HDMI cable and leave it unplugged for 10 mins. I did this and tried HDMI1 again and it worked fine. The article didn't say why it would have happened in the first place. Anyone have this happen before and do you know what causes it? Is it some surge in the STB box maybe? Should I swap out the STB box or look for some sort of surge protection for the TV perhaps? It's a pretty pricey TV so I just want to make sure I do everything I should to make sure nothing happens to it.

I think the difference is because even though they are both comedies the team America one was done with animated figures/puppets whatever you want to call them, so that style just comes off as being ridiculous and hard to take seriously. The movie the Interview is taken a bit more serious because it's actual actors. Basically what I'm saying is the message is the same, but due too method of delivery one is taken more serious than other other. With that said....it's James Franco and Seth Rogan so is anyone really surprised that they came out with something stupid? Both those guys are no talent childish morons IMO.

LMFAO :lol:

I tell ya guys, I dunno. You guys don't believe me but I'm not lying lol. Proof in point, I posted about a hoodie I an doing for my business on FB, She replied....scroll down and look at the reply from "Sharon". https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10204465685176623&set=a.3302650279550.145855.1066751129&type=1&theater&notif_t=photo_comment I dunno WTF t do to be honest. BTW no one do anything/reply on FB about this.. I have to work this shit out myself.

Well......she called tonight. We talked for an hour again. I dunno, she really wants to get together. I would not mind some casual sex with her, but I just have never been that sort of a guy. So I dunno what I want to do. I'm still undecided to be honest. I may have to relocate like Tommy said if I can't control my dick. LOL

Man you must really hate him lol I dunno man. I mean there's not many people that haven't done some fucked up shit in their lives by the time they are in their 40's. It's just not everyone gets caught. If he did some shit recently that would be one thing, but to dig up stuff from 30 years ago when he was a kid. I have a hard time holding those types of things against people as long as they are no longer like that.

I don't like to get into political posts much so I'll just say a quick word on my feelings and leave it at that. GW Bush got a lot of unjustified hate IMO. Hypothetically Jeb could be the best candidate for office but we'd never know because he would not have a chance because of his last name and the way the libtards jump on the hate Bush bandwagon. The current president has done far worse than GW in most aspects of office IMO. The only one that could be worse in office than Obama would be Hilary. I'd vote for a goat as long as it wasn't Obama or Hilary.

When I was younger and got my DUI's I never blew lower than a .23 on any of them which means I was smashed every time I was rightfully pulled over. I had no business being behind the wheel of a car. I put the lives of anyone on the road at risk back then and never gave a second thought about it because I was an addicted idiot at that point in my life. I'm just lucky that I did not kill anyone and ruin the lives of innocent people as well as my own and my family. Hitting someone with a stick would have been much less of a risk than what I did back then.

Normally I agree that famous people should not be treated special over anyone else, but in this case I think you are looking at this from a different angle than what the nature of the "pardon" actually is. This isn't what most people think of when they hear the word pardon. It's not a pardon for someone that is trying to get out of prison or someone trying to hide a crime. Pardons like these happen all the time and not just with famous people but everyday people as well. Prime example would be myself. Because I was stupid when I was younger and have DUI's on my record if I ever want to go back to Canada I would be forced to petition the Canadian Gov for a pardon just so I could legally cross the border into Canada. Walberg is simply having to do somewhat of the same thing so he can go more into the restaurant business, so he's having to jump through the hoops because of something he did 26 yrs ago. He's changed his life drastically since then so I have no problem with him seeking a pardon for business reasons.

Now I want a sexy scuba redhead

Just a no name brand imported $20 one. They are actually pretty decent quality though I had one just like it about 5 years ago and it lasted a long time till the illumination finally bit the dust.

New Keyboard. My B-day was last Thursday but I got gifts from the family today when they came by and amongst some of the stuff was this keyboard I have been wanting. In the computer room I have the lights off about 50% of the time because I am either watching TV while online or have the aquariums lite up, so it makes it hard to see the keyboard at times. So having an illuminated keyboard is something I really like so glad they just got me this.

I dunno if it is PS or not, there have been guys that have done this before http://hunting.outdoorzy.com/arrow-shot-through-hand/

Crazy isn't it. I really don;t see how it would even be possible unless he was trying to shot arrows that were much too small for his draw length and had a major issue lol

Pics from Friday night at the Detroit Zoo Wild lights display. Over 5 million lights this year. . .

Wish we had a nice public aquarium like that around here.

Ever wish you could rewind and unclick a post you clicked on?....I do.

You mean go fix some fucked up shit

He's maxed out. Normally this species gets to about 6" max, this one is between 6.5"-7" so he's actually the biggest Ruby Red Peacock I have ever seen.

Took some cash I got for my Birthday this week and bought this guy today. He's a whopping 7" and will eventually go in the big 265g tank when it is running.

You wont find nylon gears in any of the decent name brand motors these days. That's pretty much outdated Black & Decker $15 drills from years ago where you find that. So that won't be a concern. I dunno why they always include a flashlight in the combo kits, like 99.9% of guys don't already have one...duh lol. Probably just a "filler" tool most likely. Like I said you never realize just how much use you can get out of a sawzall until you have one. They cut anything and everything and can get into places that no other saw can get into so don't rule that trust me on that.

Totally agree with Jason, try to get ones that are Lithium ion batteries and you'll be glad you did. They go a lot longer on a charge than regular Ni-cad. I'm a big tool junkie and have had a great deal of different brands of cordless tools. Craftsman is good but just stick with the better models in the Craftsman line up because some of their low cost entry level sets are not all that great. Dewalt is good but some of it is a bit overpriced IMO. Ryobi is hit or miss for me, I've had some decent experiences with them as well as some unsatisfactory ones, I kind'a equate them on the same level as Black & Decker in my opinion. I've also got some Porter Cable cordless drills and saws and have been surprising happy with those. IMO for what you said you want to use them for (around the house stuff) my suggestion would be to buy something like this http://www.sears.com/craftsman-c3-19.2-volt-4-piece-lithium-combo/p-00938618000P?prdNo=2&blockNo=2&blockType=G2 It's 19.2gv lithium batt which is good. The drill is 1/2" and not 3/8" so if you ever need to use a bit bit in the drill you won;t have to find a turned down shank bit, plus 1/2" will have more power than anything you will need to drill around the house. It's got a circular saw as well as sawzall so if you ever do any home improvement then both those types of saws will cover you for any 2x4 or plywood cutting, plus you never realize how handy a sawzall actually is until you own one. And the price is pretty good too so since you are not using this set as an "on the job" set I'd say that Craftsman set would more than suit what your needs will be at home.

It's that time of year again, what's on the Christmas list that you HOPE is under the tree for you this year. My sister usually gets me a big gift each year and I'll like whatever she gets me, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed it's a PS4 with Destiny

I believe he's simply saying that one party will always try to show the other party in the worst light no matter what the actual truth is. At least that's my take on it. Both parties do it to each other.
