I'm going to suggest the Sony XBR65HX950 I got one about a month ago to replace my dead samsung and its pretty badass.

gunsekun · 12-26-2012, 11:38 AM

check best buy... they had a LG LED 55 for 599

upstatedoc · 12-26-2012, 02:17 PM

And done.

Samsung 55in led1080. 240hz with sound bar

I'm watching raiders of the lost ark and it looks like Harrison ford is standing in my living room.

My inlaws got the same one in a 60" i think. Soundbar and all. Sounds and looks really really good.

Le gross out...

good morning

Question:

My brother and I are driving up to Jay Peak, VT last minute. He lives in NYC and I live in DC. He has a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited (stock) and I have E90 xDrive + Blizzaks.
Jay is expecting upwards of 20" by tomorrow.

The Jeep gets horrendous gas mileage and has all-seasons. I used to live in NH and my xDrive + winter tire combo was unstoppable in a foot of snow, but I have low ground clearance.

Which vehicle do we take?

b1aze · 12-27-2012, 10:46 AM

I would take the E90 for the dedicated snow tires alone. Plows will get through the streets in a reasonable time, so the clearance shouldnt be a huge issue.

id take the jeep, just in case it gets worse than expected you will know the jeep will get you where you need to get

b1aze · 12-27-2012, 11:13 AM

If you cant keep traction, you cant go anywhere... All seasons even on a jeep arent that great, not to mention its 4x4 and not AWD.

MrRetep · 12-27-2012, 11:47 AM

don't you hate when one of your projects gets delayed because of the incompetence of other departments?

TeRRoRiFiC35 · 12-27-2012, 12:12 PM

In my "pod" of 10 people, it is only me and the girl who sits next to me. I was out of the office for 7 days and come back to pretty much no work since I had to do it all before last Friday.... And now I get to sit here today, tomorrow, and next Monday.... And on Monday I am the only person here cause my boss said "someone has to be in the department if there is a question". Mind you I am carrying over 7 vacation days now..

I'd rather be at work and get paid for doing nothing. I don't like wasting my vacation days doing nothing at home.

Good late-afternoon yall, how's work goin? Slowwww day here, a good % of the office took the week off, so there isn't too much going on. Should be outta here by 530 as a result, which is solid.

But I enjoyed the past 3 days of lounging around the house playing video games like a little kid.... I was so relaxed and happy, now I'm just sad I have to be here
