OT: 60th Obsequious Banter Thread: Some Guy Named Nate Raduns

[HokieDude17]

I'll watch any James May show.

There's a one-off show where he travels about with an actual Expert Of Food And Culture And Stuff that's great. On Top Gear, he seems like the cultured one compared to the other two. Compare him to a real Cultured Person and it's quickly clear he's a normal buffoon

Have you seen any of his Man Lab shows?



+1 for Oz and James, all three series are solid gold.

Any Arizona people here? I'm legitimately thinking about transferring from the east coast to the Scottsdale area. I went out there last year and just fell in love with the place. I've done absolutely no background on this potential move, but any insight from a Phoenix/Scottsdale local would be great.

I've dealt with a few people from that area that moved up the mountains near the poconos saying there is no work back home. They were all in the trucking industry but they said their wives couldn't find work either. I'm not sure what they did.

Canadian researchers came up with a way to triple capacity of electric batteries. Seems that just like electric cars were a joke not so long ago, in some 5 years they very well make combustion engine a joke.

Can't wait. I picked up a Chevy Volt in May and I love it. My daily commute is short so I usually get 2 to 3 days off of the 50ish miles I get per charge. Each charge costs about a $1 and I get mileage reimbursement from my job, so I've actually been making money while driving. I can't make it to the beach on a single charge so I end up burning around 25 miles of gas per trip. Tripling that battery to hold 150 miles per charge with the back up gas for longer trips would be perfect.

Three times more efficient batteries, AI design, carbon fibers and who knows what will make cars a whole lot lighter and give them even more range.

The best I can say is be prepared for heat. It averages about 105 degrees in June and July.

Ain't as humid and clammy though.

But it's a dry heat!

You go to Arizona and suddenly...

Edit- it occurred to me that most on here probably didn't watch Spongebob when they were kids so they wouldn't get this one... I'm an idiot...

If they haven’t watched Spongebob, then they should be banned.

 

[kudymen]

Oh crap

 

[Striiker]

You're the one with the power to do it.

I trust your judgement.

I love drinking egg nog without alcohol. I know some people can't touch it without alcohol, but I love just topping it with some ground nutmeg and it's amazing.

I couldn't drink it with alcohol, it's too gross. One time I made a vodka and milk. It was not delicious. I did finish it, though.

I get dry heat in Southern California too, it's still hot as hell.

Switching my cell service to xfinity. I hate comcast, but their pricing was too nice to pass up. I like Verizon's service, but for what we were getting and paying, comcat uses the same cell towers and their phones automatically switch to a hotspot when near one. Oh and $12 a gig is awesome (if you go over 4 gigs, switching to unlimited is cheaper at $45).

Was thinking about doing this as well, so do you pay for voice as well as data?

There are no line fees up to 5 lines, and free unlimited voice, text (they also give you free 100mb of data but that's pretty useless haha). Literally only thing I am paying is:

Phone: $41.67/m (Iphone X)
Data: $12/gig or $45 unlimited
Taxes (usually around $4-$5)

This is times 2 for my wife is getting the same thing. She barely uses 2-3 gigs a month since shes on wifi 90% of the time. Some people have been really impressed with the hotspot usage since it's automatic and people said you dont even notice the switch (you can turn it off if you want to). You can also switch between per gig and unlimited at anytime. So if I go over for that month I'll switch to unlimited and then following month back to per gig.

Now, this is just adorable. Also, I am ****ing starving.

Lol my grandpa told me recently they were too busy worrying about nuclear war back in a day to give a shit about stuff like diet or healthy lifestyle.
