After reading through the weather change thread I realized it has been much colder than usual this year. Hadn't really thought about it until now. I've never really minded the cold too much, and I do enjoy some winter hobbies like snowboarding and pond hockey. This year is the first time I...

Going down to NYC for a day trip next Sunday with my girlfriend and looking for things to do down there. The only things I can think of that would interest us is Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty. Other than that, all I come up with when searching Google is a bunch of plays, art museums...

I'm an IRR Marine and I need dress blues for a wedding, so I figured I could just run down to the New London sub base and get fitted and everything. They won't let me on base without a CAC card though, which I obviously don't have since I haven't been active duty for almost 4 years now. I'm...

I was doing leg curls this morning and found myself in rhythm with my music. For some reason this made me wonder if my leg curls could generate enough electricity to power my stereo. Then I started wondering, would hooking up gym equipment to produce electricity be possible? Could all of the...

Thinking about picking up a used Tacoma if I can find the right one (post frame recall), but the whole frame issue concerns me. I believe the recall covered up to 2004, does anyone know if the 05+ models were given better corrosion protection? The crap my state coats the road with will eat...

Finally one of these scumbags got what was coming to him: 93-Year-Old Grandma Kills 'Knockout Game' Thug - National Report | National Report That's one badass grandma! :rockon::rockon::rockon:

My buddy is getting married in May, and I'm the best man. Problem is he lives in Michigan and I live in Connecticut. He told me Saginaw has decent things to do, so I was wondering if anyone here that knows the area could offer some pointers? Thanks in advance :beer:

I have a 13 year old shelf system which I love, the JVC MX-GT90. Amazon.com: Customer Reviews: JVC MX-GT90 GigaTube Compact Stereo System The receiver just went kaput on me yesterday, and I'm not sure if it would be worth it to repair it or get something new. It was a $400 system back in...

I need a new laptop, but the only thing I need it for is online classes, nothing too fancy. I got an ASUS A55, but just returned it because it was already having problems. My brother in law is recommending the Lenovo Thinkpad E530 now, and I basically just rely on his suggestions as he is much...

I just discovered that a coworker of mine makes a bunch of different artsy type things from scrap metal as a hobby. I enjoyed seeing his creations, and figured some of the gearheads here might enjoy them as well. There is even a model of the 2007 GT500 our boss owns, which he made as a gift...

I'm headed out to there for a week towards the end of April for a pilot safety course. I should have a couple free hours every evening after the class is done for the day. It will end on Thursday and I'm not flying out until Saturday, so I will have all day Friday to do things as well...

I was looking at rock climbing gear yesterday, and then got to thinking. I already have a Cobra that mostly sits in the garage, an R1 that I ride to work and school but never for pleasure, my 1911 that I never shoot, my paintball gun that I never use, my snowboard I only used once last season...

I really do not like children at all. I can tolerate them, but given the choice I would prefer not to be around them. Having one on my own would be the worst possible punishment I could think of. Therefore, I am considering a vasectomy, but the thought of having my sack cut open scares the...

I'm planning on a trip to Italy with my girlfriend at the end of the month or the beginning of August, and I'm wondering if it would be cheaper to book tickets now or wait until a week or so out? I always thought it was cheaper to get them well in advance, but I heard that sometimes the price...

Any SVTP members fly for a living? I got out of the Marines in August 2010, and I've been struggling to figure out what to do ever since. I've always wanted to be a F18 or Cobra pilot, but couldn't because of my terrible eyesight. In the back of my mind I've been kinda hoping that by the time...
