Apologies for the double post... It looks like Awful already has some form of image upload capability.

Let's see how that goes.



E: Okay, it just links direct to hi-rez with a timg tag. Womp womp. Who develops this app anyway? They've already added the upload-to-imgur feature, changing how it pastes the bbcode shouldn't be too hard.

For those of you who don't know it can even do this, compose a post, tap on the text area like you want to copy or paste, then tap on the little arrow on the right. One of the options should now be [img]. It'll let you pick a photo from your on-iPhone library (or take a photo), upload it, and [timg] it for you.

Even without my preferred bbcode this is pretty useful.
Isn't that the point of the timg tag?

Dear lord American football is boring.

Do college matches have this many breaks to stand around and do nothing or is it just the big leagues? This is like gameshow levels of stringing it out for time. Advert advert advert advert advert 30 seconds of play, advert, crap commentary, advert, 30 seconds of play, advert...

Like listening to happy hardcore requires a plethora of mind altering substances to enjoy, does American football require similarly mind altering levels of booze or what? It seems the appeal right now is adverts??

The Super Bowl is the largest advertising opportunity of the year. It's by far the worst offender.

It started as an enthusiast gathering, usually in the parking lots of coffee shops. Now it's overrun with assholes and douchebags who want to show off and rub their car in everyone's faces. And there's a splinter group that didn't like the "don't be an rear end in a top hat" guidelines called "Caffeine and Octanes" or some other retarded variations where being oval office is encouraged.

The average NFL game has a whopping eleven minutes of actual game play. http://www.sportsgrid.com/nfl/pie-chart-actual-football-watching-nfl-game-vs-replays-commercials-etc/

That's why I don't watch, also I don't care much for sports aside from playoff hockey and auto racing.

Why do you even watch this poo poo? I was in an NY pizza place the other day that have NFL/highschool football playing constantly on their screens and it was like torture wondering when the actual sport happens. I'm not particularly into sports but I've never gotten the same sensation watching basketball, football, rugby etc.

And honestly because we're raised with it, and it used to be better. It has gotten so much worse in the last 10-15 years.

I basically just watch hockey now. And racing.

I legitimately tried to get into it last year and lasted three quarters of a game. It has to be a recent thing where they just stuff in as many commercials as possible. I mean jesus I love watching baseball and I struggled with the pacing of the game. I feel bad for you guys who grew up watching it and now have to deal with what it has become now.

Audi and Hyundai both had good ones.

And that was not the Prius commercial we saw earlier. You know, putting out a commercial just before the superbowl, and not paying for coverage on it but on a different one would be great for SEO.

I'll set the building on fire
I think football is pretty entertaining to watch most of the time. College football can get a little drawn out on tv though. They've actively tried to speed up nfl games with rules about stopping the clock and commercials, but big college games just seem to go on forever. Also the end of the pga tour today was pretty good. it's right down the street but we didn't go watch.

Anyhow, here are my recipes of the things I've made today.

Margarita:

3 oz good tequila, preferably anejo. I'm using an anejo called el padrino, which I think might be a total wine store brand. it was like $26.
1 oz grand marinier
splash of triple sec
2 oz lime mix - using stirrings brand simple margarita key lime mix. has 5.3g sugar per oz. less sugar = better
juice from one lime

Just shaking them in ice and serving on the rocks. I like salt on the rim of the glass. Don't have any cointrau or I would have a bit of that in there too. Will have to re-work the recipe a bit when we get around to buying a bottle, which is really expensive for some reason.

Guacamole:

4 ripe avocados
~1/2 thick big slice of a red onion
1 roma tomato, no seeds
2/3rd of a small jalpeno, no seeds
bit of cilantro
juice from less than 1/2 a lime
decent amount of salt
little bit of chili and/or cayenne pepper
optional - tiny amount of garlic salt

spoon the avocado in some big chunks, then dice the poo poo out of the onion, tomato, cilantro, and jalepeno. Add the seasonings, mix around with the spoon a bit, slice up with a knife, and mix a bit more. it should be reasonably chunky.

Which format? 5 day Test snoozefest that you either use to chillax or have as background noise, ODI that has a somewhat faster pace but still gives you time to have a beer and a piss or T20 which is utterly frenetic and doesn't give you a second to fart?

Cricket is tedious garbage too, sorry. I'm told it's a lot better if you're actually there and in the crowd getting drunk or whatever but on a screen it may as well be team golf.

Unlike Gridiron fans, I'm actually self aware enough that Cricket is a garbage game. However T20 is not tedious even if you have ADHD -That version has a lot more speed in the game and much shorter. I'm not a fan of that format myself but tedious is not an accusation anyone can make on T20.

When they raised the wages in...Seattle? The people that were all gung ho about the wage increase were all like YAY MORE MONIES!! then they found out their increase in income caused them to lose their welfare benefits and then were all like NO! I CAN ONLY WORK 12 HOURS A WEEK (OH WAIT AWESOME WOOOHOOO!!!) So what will happen here, our society being what it is, human nature and all that, will earn 15 bucks an hour but work less in order to keep their welfare bennies because ultimately the welfare bennies are worth more. So, their income will be roughly the same (working 20 hours instead of 40) as it was before.

None of this poo poo happened, consider not repeating fox news bullshit without knowing what the gently caress you're talking about. Seattle implemented 15/hr wages but most businesses do not have to implement it for a few more years.
