Also Im really bummed about Scott Weiland since STP was like my childhood. Reminds me of driving around in my Galaxie and poo poo. Gonna have to blast some STP today :(

I was watching roadkill full screened on my mac mini, and suddenly the image freezes, and soon after the audio. I alt-tabbed and escaped to no avail. Suddenly the screen turned black, and then came up with a very explicit frame from A PORN I WATCHED, THEN DELETED, TWO DAYS PRIOR! :tinfoil: There was nothing I could do to make it go away, save for power cycling the computer. Thank the Lord I was home alone. What the hell, Apple?

Not sure why it turned black, but on OS X the desktop uses the graphics card to render everything so you get pretty fancy effects. When you use VLC/Mplayer it writes directly to the video memory so it can be super fast.

When OS X comes by a little later and tries to re-use that video memory, on some video chipset drivers it doesn't appear to blank it out. In your situation it sounds like something went really wrong with the video driver and it displayed the wrong region of memory which probably still contained porno frame.

I get weird artifacts on my Macbook Pro sometimes when it switches from the internal Intel GPU (like the one you have) to the discrete hardware GPU, but thankfully nothing like that.

I had a weird situation a long time ago when one of the Linux distros first went to desktop composition and it started rendering everything upside down.

It wasn't a facemask. Incidental contact on the facemask isn't a penalty, and he never hooked and pulled him by it. His hand grazed by it as he grabbed his jersey on the shoulder and pulled him down

As a packer fan, I got too drunk to care towards the end and switched channels only to watch my FB light up. Amazing at it was, it barely makes up for the loss to the Bears and in fact im not sure it does.

Not a football guy, but i can totally see that being taken as trying to grab his mask, and slipping off just as easily as trying to grab his jersey and grazing his mask.

I have a G1W-C in my Beetle, but I really like the A-118-C I bought and put in the bus. It is a cleaner install, and you can spend $15 and get the GPS module to add GPS datalogging to it. So, for the same $100 of the G1W-C you get a cam with the same sensor, plus GPS. Plus it looks a little less derpy installed.

Camera:

GPS module:

For the camera I had to do a little research to not buy a clone, but for the GPS module I would shop around for the lowest price of the moment.

I am gonna grab one of those A-118-Cs. I tried the G1W everyone likes and it died in a couple months of boring DDing in my Forester, then tried the Cobra that ExpiredPopsicle suggested since it'd survived the apocalypse in his CJ and it died in a few hours. I expect the A-118-C to last maybe a week, again, in a Forester being daily driven. Somehow I'm like, toxic to dashcams or something. I just want to record my drives in case someone does something stupid :sigh:

Still hovering just above 50% of the firearm-related homicide stats from the mid 1990's, non-fatal firearm crime victimization is down to 1/3 of what it was then.

Media's going to scream because it's popular to scream, and blood sells, but the murder train isn't nearly up to speed yet.

Worst part about this whole thing is that we're starting to get right-wing domestic terrorism, though. poo poo's hosed.

Hey shut up don't bring logic and reason into this.

Enourmo posted:

I get that crime's down across the board, it's just guns seem to do a whole lot more harm than good these days. You can't regulate evil out of the human experience, but you can make it a whole lot harder to hurt others.

Honestly I dislike gun enthusiasts blowing wind on facebook after events like these more than I do the very idea of gun ownership.

And we dislike smug pro-gun-ban people smugging the gently caress out about poo poo they don't understand just as much.

poo poo, my GF (who is probably more liberal than many here, voted for Obama twice, and is probably voting for Sanders this time around) got her Mass LTC-A ALP within weeks of moving out here and owns more guns than me, which is to say, she owns a gun. I've been dragging my feet on going through the licensing process for five years now and own zero, I just get annoyed when people who have zero experience in the matter decide they are experts and want to ban poo poo I enjoy.

On that note, if anyone wants to hear what I have to say about evil scary guns, go read my post from last time I ranted about this in a chat thread, it hasn't changed. Otherwise, feel free to continue having the same opinion you had beforehand and I'll do the same :tipshat:

Also, here is a pretty solid, fairly well balanced take on the whole thing. http://imgur.com/gallery/bW1Ds

No, they spoke to the head ref in NY and he said it will get called every time. The rule states No player shall grasp and control, twist, turn, push, or pull the facemask of an opponent in any direction,

It might have been slight but it was a facemask and it would not have been overturned because there was no evidence to the contrary.

[edit] Besides, it doesn't matter, the Lions lost because they are dumb, not because of a bad call.

Michael Parsons, 27, said he moved to Richmond about 2 years ago and described himself as the kind of person whom officials would say the region wants to attract young and interested in settling and raising a family. But Parsons, a social worker, said he is troubled by the segregation that he sees and urged the audience and presenters to break down those barriers. Mix things up. Raise people up from poverty, he said.

Johnson said he believed race relations here are at an all-time low.

We have to find a way to have that real conversation, he said. Thats where were lacking.

Yes, Michael Parsons seems to think that race relations are at "an all-time low" in Richmond, VA, the former capital of the Confederate States of America.
