Went snorkeling with the wife today and saw dolphins, whales, fish and turtles! Hawaii is pretty cool for this stuff.

Godholio posted:Correct on the roku. I've never hosed with a laptop monitor, that's an interesting idea. I'll let you know how it goes, I just ordered the controller board so I'll start work on it towards the end of the week. I figure I'll get it functional then have michaels make a custom from or something for it, not sure yet Project cost so far: $38.57 for board and ac adapter Roku looks like its around $50. I figure I'll buy a cheap rear end pc monitor sound bar for the audio, so call that $20 Frame ???? but could have a neat little home made smart tv thing for less than $200. Probably could just buy one outright but what's the fun in that. CHICKEN SHOES fucked around with this message at 02:11 on Apr 10, 2017 |

probably gonna buy out of my DIrecTV contract since I'll save a lot of money in the long run. Anyone used Playstation Vue? I still want to be able to watch Better Call Saul this season.

Been doing Sling, which has been good for my needs. Thinking about trying Vue for the heck of it. Nice having no contract and no equipment to change if you decide you want to just give another service a shot. A Roku box has been the best addition to my media center in a while.

Honestly, outside of being easy to install apps like Kodi, I'm not that impressed with my fire sticks. Maybe the box performs better? We loved our Roku3 but it started showing it's age pretty bad about two years ago.

It comes with the amazon video app now & no need to side load kodi/spmc.

The lawnmower has a five foot diameter plastic sphere in which the rider sits on an air foam cushioned seat. It has its own electric generating system for operating running lights, a radio telephone, air conditioning and even a cooling system to provide a chilled drink on a hot day. It can be used for many purposes. It can mow the lawn, weed it, feed it, seed it, spray for insects, plow snow and haul equipment. It can even be used as a golf cart.

There are tons of videos of assholes just ripping backpacks off people, even if means hurling the person to the ground to get their poo poo. Don't carry a goddamned thing you don't need.

I'm experimenting with Amazon Locker because I don't like having to rush back to my apartment before 6 to get my packages from the staff. It's been out for delivery since 10am and 8pm is only 20 minutes away. Sure would be nice if it worked well.

My wife planned a nice trip to a resort in mexico, and me being a dumbass was like yeah sure I'll do my leave form. It's only certain states in mexico that were banned at that time (2012-13ish) but of course the resort my wife picked was in one of those. travel insurance also was a scam and took forever and I still think we took a loss on it. gently caress you army!
