OK Go's newest music video. Holy. Shit. This must have taken forever to make. by BitterBillyin videos

It took 4 months of prep and 4 days to shoot. 4 MONTHS!

I was just told 'alcohol weakens glass,' by a salesman. What's the most ridiculous thing a salesman told you. by schlitz100in AskReddit

[–]sfgeek 1 point2 points ago* 

Actually, it's funny you should mention that:

I hadn't even HEARD of Sleek Audio before I read an article about "Re-Shoring." Sleek's were made in China, and they would fly over, be shown a perfect batch of first runs, and then fly back and several weeks later, get a ton of crap back instead. So, they "Re-shored" their manufacturing to the US, and at least so far, mine have been rock solid. I use mine daily at work, as I'm ADD poster boy, and they block out pretty much everything.

If you want a nice set of ear buds for when out of the house, the Sleek Audio's are fantastic. I had to play around with the different rubber ear pieces to get a snug fit, but once I did, total immersion.

Starting Remicade for Ulcerative Colitis (My first post here!) by Zenzenmooin IBD

[–]sfgeek 1 point2 points ago

Considering it's like, $14,000 per treatment or something crazy I've heard, I would hope so.

I just found out today I'm going on it! I'm so so excited, I've had Crohn's for 12 years, and it's almost killed me and or/ made me feel hopeless at times (reddit actually really helped me once when I was feeling really low.)

Corn Starch would be worse than Ranch at that. CS turns rock hard when it dries.

Another reason American Apparel is going broke is their founder, Dov Charney, is a sexual predator, and has a mountain of sexual harassment suits from female employees. I seriously hope he loses everything, and does some jail time.

Thanks for posting this, I've been considering Remicade seriously, since nothing else is really working for my Crohn's.

Just how rich is Mitt Romney? Add up the wealth of the last eight presidents, from Richard Nixon to Barack Obama. Then double that number. Now you’re in Romney territory by touringcavin politics

Gates didn't give away almost a dime until he met Melinda, and she convinced him to use his wealth for good.

And Gates was never poor, his family was rich, his father is a partner in a very large law firm.

IAMA Gas Attendant in NJ where it is unlawful to pump your own gas. Crazy shit sometimes happens. by ExcaliburMMin IAmA

I agree with you, but I don't make the rules. They put warnings on hair dryers not to use them in the bath.

IAMA manager at Wendy's, and I actually have a question for you. (Also AMA) by boffer4lifein IAmA

[–]sfgeek 2 points3 points ago

I'm always friendly and kind, but don't engage in idle chatter either, but please, fast food chains in general, I don't want to hold up the people behind me! (And thanks for doing this AMA, you sound like you run one awesome Wendy's!)

Please stop making your employees ask me if I'd like to try an "XYZ." At fine dining restaurants, I want to hear the specials, at Wendy's I know EXACTLY what I want to order before I am even at the drive-thru line.

I wish this was the case in Southern California. Except for In-N-Out, fast food here is done at a snail's pace.

Actually, dozens of times a year people end up setting gas fumes, and often themselves, on fire. Statistically, more women than men, but that has to do with the fact that women tend to get back in there car more, where they pickup a static charge that arcs as soon as they grab the pump.

Their sandwiches are pretty damn good actually, and for some reason, they just feel a lot more welcoming than 7-11.

I feel that way about Geena Davis, she's unusual looking but "Earth Girls are Easy" pretty much blew my mind. Also, she has a Genius IQ, that's even hotter.

8 minutes into President Obama's speech. . . by chestnbain funny

[–]sfgeek 0 points1 point ago

I agree it's a spectacle now, but it would be political suicide to actually raise the discourse above 8th grade level, at least until American culture comes to value knowledge and mastery of the English Language.

Our public schools being so crappy isn't an accident.

I actually can remember Standing Ovations for as long as I've been watching the SOTU, but it's been getting progressively worse over the years.

[–]sfgeek 0 points1 point ago

Every major newspaper in the US is written AT or BELOW an 8th grade level, because that is literally the reading comprehension level of your average American. That, and Fox News has made and art form out of painting scientific comprehension, expertise and a decent command of the English language as 'Elitist.' Like it or not, most voters vote with their gut, and if they don't understand words he uses, they aren't voting for him.

Rachel Maddow is an opinion show, and she doesn't even attempt to feign where her bias leans or does not. Just as Rush Limbaugh doesn't feign being something other than an opinion show.

The problem lies in the fact that Fox's "News" shows spew blatant lies or misleading opinions as 'fact,' on a regular basis, and claim to be 'Fair and Balanced.' Fact check people like Hannity or O'Relly, and then fact check Maddow, you'll find that she's consistently accurate and truthful. Fox knows none of their viewers fact check them, because anyone who consistently does is no longer a viewer.
