The fourth skyscraper fire since 2012? I'd say someone has a building safety problem.

Agree "... Kirill Neiezhmako's time lapse video of the inferno is like something from a big budget Hollywood movie"; but "the audio" is more like from a bonfire

And you're really missing out if you haven't seen any of the autotune remixes that have popped up; all kinds of awesome!

Why can't Adobe make programs that can use multiples cores at the same time?

[davintosh]

Why can't Adobe make programs that can use multiples cores at the same time?

Because it's hard to do, and people keep paying for them without that feature anyway.

I know your right. The really don't have a competitor. Its pathetic.

What Abobe program can't at this point? Their GPU acceleration support is very weak, but their multi-core processing was decent I thought. Course, the last version of Photoshop that I dabbled with was (I think) CS4. I do remember that it really liked fast storage (SSD) and gobs of memory.

Oh yeah the guys on that channel are douchenozzles and all they do is cut springs and cherry bomb exhausts but this car gets to me. You've all had that feeling, I know you have. I couldn't care less about the people but the car...

Beer trading is a thing. Apparently a moderately big thing. As in, people with local highly desirable brews (mostly IPAs I'm noticing) will ship and trade for other highly desirable beers from other areas.

I happen to have some of those highly desirables in my possession at the moment, but I'm not shipping beer. That all seems a bit too much.

For the first time in more than a year I can see the bottom of my Email inbox. That does feel good.

I'm gonna get the Duke, and John Cassevetes, and Lee Marvin,

Stereo in the shower has died. This is our third one and I honestly can't get in without it. Forgive me Bowie for this attempt at remembering "Starman".

Why not get a small radio and put it in a plastic bag outside the shower?

[Karl Grau]

I'll tell ya after I get my order confirmation. I'm afraid there will be a run on them and mine will get backordered.

I don't have a stereo in the shower but I LOVE my Bathe & Brew.

Bathe and brew, Howard Taft making beer? You should PM me where you got them. Don't worry, I don't have the money to buy socks so your order is safe.
