I recently finished the whole series on Netflix and the Doggett episodes weren't as bad as I'd been lead to believe. The final season was meh except for the Burt Reynolds episode because Burt Reynolds.

Yea Reyez and Doggett ain't no Mulder and Scully but I still liked the later seasons as well. I feel kinda silly buying them since they are on Netflix, but I guess that doesn't mean they'll always be and it was one of my favorite shows.

e: Now I just have to decide if it's worth it to rip the shows to my media server ugggghhhh 9 seasons.

Are you in Europe? It seems like the only thing Braun makes for US anymore is electric razors.

Yeah. I think I have a Braun iron as well. But it's by no means a common brand around here apart from shavers and hair dryers, it was just the best-looking non-OBH-Nordica non-Melissa toaster under 100€ at the department store. (I've got the same three rules when it comes to electric appliances as my grandmother did: no Nordica, no Melissa, and "no GOD drat Severin".)

e: Oh, Oral-B is Braun as well. I guess the B is for Braun? They're super-super popular.

I have this exact same money clip, it lasted 3 months before it stretched out. After trying to push it together again it still won't hold.

We will see I guess... It was only $10 bucks and in the reviews where they say it stretched out, the company responded and offered to send new ones.. They also updated their description to say:

NOTE: Due to the Minimalist design the money clip is recommended for use with 10-15 bills/notes folded in half, or 3-5 cards.


Did you put more than that in the clip? I think people were overfilling them and causing them to overstretch.

Most teas are quite cheap, they usually work out at less than £1 a serving.
Looking at http://markethallfoods.com/mariage-freres-rouge-bourbon-tea a 6oz refill will give around 56 cups of tea so around than 36p per cup which is really good value.

This is where I buy it too, but it's still expensive. The catch is in the $12 ground shipping, which is drat near 50% what the tea itself costs. So you still end up paying way more than you would if you were to find it in a store.

Speaking of which: Dean & Deluca carries it as well, if you happen to be near one of their stores, i.e. just four cities in the US :downs:

I probably did absentmindedly. There is a titanium one being advertised that I wanted to get.

These seem to hold shape better. But, I agree with you, 10 bucks isn't too bad for a money clip.

Trip report: So many of you doubted the excellence that would be Piff The Magic Dragon. Unfortunately I can't confirm or deny this. However, the Zombie Burlesque show was good. It was a small theater with decent but not great sound. I had plenty of laughs, saw some zombie butt, point ballet, pole dancer and a contortionist for like $60 for 2 tickets for 90 min show.

If you're okay with LBGT (gay jokes & cross dressing ) humor you're probably okay. Otherwise they might corrupt you by making you like that pretty women who is actually a man and you'll be going straight to fire and brimstone.

It's the Note Pro 12.2. I currently work on a 10.1 but after four years of being used like 15hrs a day it's finally starting to slow a bit. Still doesn't have a single scratch in the screen though, Samsung stuff is super durable. All my stuff is drawn on the old tab-- it's got a Wacom interface that is rarely, if ever, advertised.

I like the Notes because they're also useful for just about everything else in addition to art stuff. Mine is getting slow-- stopped getting Android updates years ago-- but when I played with the new model it was fast as all hell.

Confirmed, my lifetime Betterment Roth IRA returns are nearing negative triple digits now. Get rich slowly is a lie, I'm confident I would be better off investing in booze.

E: Just checked my 401k, its overall performance is down -6.72% for another year running. And that's not even counting the ~1.5% expense ratio of the target retirement fund I'm invested in because it's the cheapest option and one lovely investment bank is the same as the next.
