  1. They're spending a ton on marketing. I'd believe it if they said they needed $1b to break even.
  2. http://www.musicdirect.com/p-95527-marantz-tt-15-acrylic-turntable-factory-reconditioned.aspx just sayin'
  3. Starting ANY amp without speakers plugged in is a bad idea. Might be a good idea to take it to a professional before you burn your house down.
  4. It may not have that capability. are the RCA ports labeled Line In or Line Out? They're probably input only. That feeling when you wake up in a cold sweat and realize that the Crosley IS the receiver...!
  5. The Onion pretty much nailed it. ‘Batman V. Superman’ Promotion Urges Filmgoers To Just Get This Over With
  6. The script was really complete crap. They lifted material from a few major DC comic pieces and seemed to actively try to distance themselves from those pieces by removing the bits that made those plots function. The biggest miss is that Batman had a really flimsy reason to be Vs Superman and it could have easily been fixed.
  7. meh. It was really clunky. I didn't mind the stuff that happened so much as how and why it happened. They fucked up, but didn't really screw themselves over for future attempts.
  8. these all sound like pretty standard plays straight out of the crazy-bitch handbook.
  9. my sister's cousin makes 40 thousands fortnightly working from her Lexus home and recommends to me www.ullplay.com.
  10. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HG077VC?tag=slickdeals&ascsubtag=7e13d282f05f11e59ee31ead07fc0bbb0INT yeah...Amazon lightning deal. ends very very soon (2pm central), but I thought I may as well throw it out there in case it helps somebody. Good deal if you plan to upgrade the cart to a 2m blue or something.
  11. He built a Faraday cage--as I suggested like 2 pages ago. You're welcome.
  12. Slick method to quietly bump the cost of the unlimited plan by $15.
  13. the connector is useful for connecting things. it's nothing that you can't get for 12 cents at Home Depot.
  14. the ground wire is just a piece of wire. basically anything will do. as for the interconnect, you have a lot of options. you can spend anywhere from a few dollars to a few thousand. you can get a set of blue jeans cable inteconnects for something like $30.
  15. Marc Maron went on a multi-minute tirade about a cell tower interfering with his phono preamp on his most recent podcast (Tod Rundgren). I smiled and thought of this thread.
  16. I'm pretty irresponsible with my data usage. I'm at around 25-30gig every month. I'd get wrecked on any other plan.
  17. I'm kind of confused by the new ATT program as well...the old system wasn't great...but at least I got a credit for a new phone. Now it sounds like I'm not getting a credit and I'm sure my bill won't go down. Locked into ATT due to my grandfathered unlimited data plan.
  18. assuming my figure of $385 per month is in the ballpark, your previous employer should have shelled out around $4500 over the course of a year in order to break even on their end. and that would have more or less covered your premiums for a year on an ACA plan.
  19. Getting rid of ACA means that people who were "uninsurable" before ACA would be back with no insurance which is, in some cases, a death sentance. Single payor addresses the problem better than just going back to the way things were pre-ACA.
  20. I always wonder if companies who "can no longer offer health insurance because of ACA" are passing the savings on to their employees. The company I work for (a large health insurance company) pays about $385 per single employee on our group plan. I would expect that number to be higher for a smaller non-health insurance company. If a company simply stops offering coverage, the right thing to do would be to pass their saving on to the employee to offset their new burden, but I think a lot of places just pocket it.
  21. The whole illegal immigration thing seems like such a smoke-screen issue. If your job is in danger of being taken by an uneducated, non-english speaker, a fence isn't going to solve your problems. If people were really worried about it, they would go after the employers using defacto slave labor. It's just a convenient scapegoat to avoid addressing the real job issues in the US. The reality is that efficiencies put us in a place where it takes fewer people to produce all the stuff and services that all the people need. People cling to full time employment for various reasons, but health insurance is a big one. Decouple healthcare services from employment and see what happens. You may find that the free market solves the problem by eroding the 40 hour work week.
