Thinking of getting myself a new phone and since it is phone release season, the Nexus 6 is $100 off. Presumably because the next Nexus phone is on its way. My question is, does the stock Android on the Nexus 6 come with a bunch of preloaded BS like the Samsung/LG phones or is it a relatively...

Someone I know's sister is "applying for a job" at a local defense outfit and is asking for passport numbers and citizenship certificate numbers from her brothers and sisters. This reeks of scam to me. Are employers allowed to ask for that information even in the defense industry? I figure...

Al Jazera did a piece on one of the more interesting high school mascots from where I grew up, the Richland Bombers and the R-Cloud. http://america.aljazeera.com/multimedia/2015/7/richland-washingtons-atomic-legacy.html On one hand, the area I grew up in wouldn't exist as it is today...

It has been a long time since I have done any off roading so to speak, and even then it was National Forest roads in the Pacific Northwest in my old 1st gen 4Runner. Now that we have a second vehicle that is capable of kid transportation, I would like to take the 4th gen 4Runner I have out on...

I spent most of today working on my Z3. New battery, new OEM tape deck ($5 at the swap meet :banana), all easy things. For some reason I saved the hardest task, replacing a broken tensioning cable on the soft top for last. :laughing I feel all beat up and only have the taking things apart...

I need a new hat and have a gift certificate to Lids. Which one of their stores in the Bay Area is the largest? The one at Southland is pretty small. I know there is a big one at Union Square. Their website isn't helpful as it just calls out locations and not the size of the store.

Sick of new back-plates coming in from Amazon already smashed to shit. :| Anywhere in the interior bay where I can run out and pick up one for an AT&T iPhone 4? Doesn't even have to be original or an original color, just not pre-shattered. :thumbup
