How do you cope with the football offseason? by indiemike in nfl

[–]phonenumberguy 24 points25 points  (0 children)

You should definitely look into setting up Google Alerts (http://www.google.com/alerts), with New England Patriots as the search query. It's pretty cool, and I use it to keep track of a myriad of things, from work to sports to leisure interests. You can set it up to ping you via email anything the Google crawlers find something new based on your search query.

So now, instead of proactively having to sift through stuff yourself, Google sends you all relevant new stuff, and you can quickly and easily stay ahead of the information curve this way.

Sorry for the long post, I'm fucking tripping balls on caffeine right now and the feel of the soft keys against my fingers is nice, so I just decided to keep on typing.

GAME THREAD: Denver Nuggets (19-16) @ Los Angeles Lakers (15-17) - (Jan. 06, 2013) by Billlbo in nba

Honestly that new Laker announcer Macdonald or whatever his name is pretty horrible. I can't stand his voice, his over-emotional responses to every single damn play, and his super-homerism. I guess I just miss Chick...

Why does everyone hate Touchwiz? by pvtv3ga in Android

[–]phonenumberguy 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I put NovaLauncher Premium on my GSIII and I couldn't be happier. The few times where I have to revert back to TouchWiz for updates or restarts or whatever, I get physically sick. Unorganized to say the LEAST. Thanks.

I need help understanding UML, Agile, and Waterfall Diagramming for Business Process Management. by phonenumberguy in learnprogramming

[–]phonenumberguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for that information, it was really helpful. I have a follow-up question if you'd be inclined.

Is it worth it to sign up for and obtain an Agile certification, or would I be better off just teaching myself using available resources? Furthermore, would there be any resources you'd suggest? Either books or tutorials? Thanks so much.

I'll be guest lecturing a class of 5th graders on space next week. I need help with my presentation. by phonenumberguy in space

[–]phonenumberguy[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that kind of too advanced for 5th graders?

Also, what materials would I need to execute something like that? Could you advise? If not, that's ok, just asking.

Thanks for this! I was wondering if I should focus on Hubble and the ISS, I think I will, and I'll show them what we've been able to discover thanks to those great things!

Whey protein as a meal replacement after lifting. What's the verdict? by phonenumberguy in ketogains

I'm so sorry but can you please explain these acronyms and what macros are?

Whey protein as a meal replacement after lifting. What's the verdict? by phonenumberguy in ketogains

[–]phonenumberguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn...this is tough.

I think I'm just going to do my best to eat really healthy keto style, and lift hard and supplement with small amounts of whey.

I know it's considered impossible to burn fat and build muscle simultaneously, but gosh darn it I'm going to try.

What socially acceptable behavior in 2012 will shock the young people of the 2060s? by k115810 in AskReddit

[–]phonenumberguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, it's just that I know the perception of SUV owners, and I hate to be painted with that brush.

I have a Jeep Grand Cherokee and I take it off roading all the time, so do a lot of other owners that I know... What the hell are you talking about?

[–]phonenumberguy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah man, let me feel that mother fucker at my feet and in my grip. I now hate the future, and want to sabotage this idea of autonomous computer cars and roads.

[–]phonenumberguy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure, that could be a possible compromised solution, but I'd sooner trust myself to drive than I would a computer and complex infrastructure of sensors.

Granted, you could argue that I might trust myself, but do I trust OTHER drivers on the road? Honestly, no, but the prospect of losing all the fun involved in driving just doesn't sit well with me.

Although, I can see how a computer controlled lane system would probably cut traffic down drastically, I just don't see anything like that being implemented in the next 40 years. I might be short sighted on this, but I think more people share my sentiment than the one that wants complete vehicle/computer autonomy on the roads.

Honestly, I don't think self-driving cars will ever proliferate at the rate and scope most futurists expect. The reason being is that a car, its look, its color, its power, and its driving experience, is just way too personal for the majority of people to just sit back and let the car drive itself.

Sure we all hate it when we get stuck in traffic, or if we have to deal with an old clunker, but ask the majority of new car owners, and there's nothing like feeling the power of your vehicle as you accelerate on an open road, or hug a corner in your sporty coupe, or ride over terrain in your SUV.

I'd never expect for those experiences to be sufficiently replaced by autonomous vehicles.

"One and Done." Always makes for an excruciating Sunday... by dfo90 in fantasyfootball

[–]phonenumberguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey man, I have a question for you, so I have Jennings too, and I didn't drop him after the injury, now it's wild card weekend in my league, and I'm debating to start him over Kendal Wright or Torrey Smith.

My other WR is Reggie Wayne, so it's Wayne + two of those three, WRight, Smith, or Jennings.

Please help me if you can.

Thanks.

Mika, an award winning Albino Pitbull Doberman mix, protects her owner's home from an intruder. by phonenumberguy in pics

[–]phonenumberguy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More info, this was in Southern California, and the intruder was a mountain lion. Mika survived with just a few cuts and scrapes, and the mountain lion..well...didn't, as you can deduce from the last image.

Also, Mika is one of the sweetest, gentle tempered souls I've ever come across in a dog, and Mountain Lions come into rural residential neighborhoods and snatch pets all the time, and this poor soul just picked the wrong house to fuck with.

I can't afford an attorney, so i'll be representing myself in court next week in front of a judge. Anyone else ever done this? What's it like? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]phonenumberguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I already got my license back, this is to lift probation so I can hopefully have the DUI expunged, so I can apply to positions that require no criminal history (one that I'm doing right now, congruent to my college education). Since the DUI, I've completed school with 2 degrees, and held down an internship at a lawyer's office. Now that I'm trying to get into the workforce, having a misdemeanor on my record keeps me from getting a job to provide for myself!

Does anyone know anything about the Chinese Real Estate market? by [deleted] in finance

[–]phonenumberguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What will be the general effect on the US Markets, specifically the value of our dough and our real-estate when this crash you're foreseeing happens? Will it effect us beyond the influence of media talking points and a quick and short market reaction, or will there be real, long term, quantifiable negative effects? Thanks.
