Just finished the season. Thought the second to last episode was the best. Legit laugh out loud. Overall, I thought it was decent enough but I thought it became over the top with the, "hey, we're a TV show and we're free from NBC! We're gonna do whatever we want."

I've been watching on and off but since I literally have no other reason to check the Yahoo app and they didn't put all the eps at once, it's sporadic at best for when I watch.

That would make sense.

In regards to the G4's processor not being amazing, you can blame Qualcomm. Last year's phones generally used the Snapdragon 801 or 805. This year's big new processor was supposed to be the Snapdragon 810 but Qualcomm made a bad chip that was really susceptible to overheating and had to super throttle the processor in order to prevent that from happening. So that's why Samsung went with their own Exynos processor for the S6 and LG went with the 808 (which no one even knew existed and is a pretty small improvement at best over the 805) for the G4.

Interesting. Thanks for the info, Steve.

I use almond milk because I'm lactose intolerant and I really don't mind it. I've never tried the vanilla almond milk although I would like to give it a whirl. I've also seen that they have cashew milk but have no idea how that'd taste.

The title of the episode should've been "The One Where Everyone Talks On The Phone."
I'd argue that the three best scenes of the episode were each of the phone conversations (Don/Betty, Don/Peggy and Steggy).

No one does awkward sex scenes quite like Game of Thrones!

That finale was what I wanted it to be.

Very nice improvements man. Keep it up!

WWE's telling stories. They don't have time for their announcers to act like it's a sport and all that BS.

9 year old me was so excited for the Sunny sex tape. They teased it the week before and I remember making it a point to stay up because I thought I'd see boobies. I was beyond disappointed at the whole thing.
Also, it's kinda sad (and funny) that such a thing could plausibly happen now. Poor Sunny.

In the last week I've set four personal records in lifting:
Back Squat: 335 lbs (151 kg)
Front Squat: 265 lbs (120 kg)
Power Clean: 175 lbs (79 kg)
Dead Lift: 365 lbs (165 kg).
Pretty proud of myself.
What were your starting lifts like and how long did it take you to get to the numbers you're at now? Also, are those your one rep maxes or is are you doing those for X number of sets and reps?
Either way, great numbers brah

The past couple of episodes have been sensational.
I'm also not sure how much Don is just reputation. He had been away from SCP for a while and even when he first came back, he was just writing tags. He hadn't even had the opportunity to do the big pitch. But still, I don't think it's been all that long. No one's ever really questioned if he still had the talent aside from the Hershey's pitch and that was more an investigation into his demons rather than potential declining talent.

It seems like people are going back and forth between the G4 camera and the S6's, depending on the person/situation. At least there is a legitimate alternative to the S6 since we know that won't be the HTC M9.

Makes sense. Everyone who looks at my Nexus 6 thinks it's a tablet. Really can't go much bigger.
I wasn't very impressed by LG's showing. I kinda knew it all in advance but I don't know. The UI is still ugly looking and I have no idea if the Snapdraggon 808 will be a noticeable improvement over the 805. With all the good press Samsung's getting, I think LG is gonna have a tough time making an inroad this year.

Also, while they've had their issues, I don't think they've ever been to the point of Hogan/Vince or Warrior/Vince. I'd also believe that any issues they might have now probably aren't that big.

Craig, I think there's something wrong with your phone. Simple stuff like loading websites should not be freezing. I could see if you were using a Galaxy Nexus, but you're running a top tier phone. Even my 2013 Moto X had no real performance issues.
-
Regarding my phone, it's only rooted. There's no different ROM on there as far as I know. What is the factory ROM used for the Note 4?
And I didn't know that about Chrome Beta. I was using Firefox, but I uninstalled that last night. It crashed constantly. Is there a reason why Chrome Beta works better?
I don't know how to check on TouchWiz, but if you go to Settings ---> About Phone on stock Android, there's usually info somewhere on that screen that shows if it's a custom rom.
And I don't know exactly why Chrome Beta works better. You'd think it'd be the opposite but apparently not.

Man...the camera on this Note 4 is a piece of shit. Reviews said the camera was really goods and about on par with the iPhone. Not even close. Maybe it's just my phone, though.
Basically, on my iPhone, I could keep tapping the screen to take pictures and it was incredibly fast. It would take a picture for any time you tapped the screen. With the Note 4, you tap, and wait, tap, and wait, and wait, etc. I turned on busy mode where you hold down the shutter button, but that's not even close to what a burst mode is. It's so fucking slow. Even with a .1 second delay set it takes already a second or longer to take pictures. Then it takes for fucking ever to process them. The one time I held down the shutter for awhile and it snapped off two pictures! What a bunch of bullshit.
Then there's the quality of the pictures, which is fucking terrible. It's like there is a muppet filet on that makes everything look fuzzy. If it isn't that, then there's a ton of grain in the shot. This is indoor, but I've noticed it outdoors as well. You can barely even take a picture indoors. Even if the room is well lit the pictures comes out blurry since it's taking forever to take the shot.
It's all very frustrating because coming from the iPhone, shit just worked. I didn't have to fuck around with a bunch of settings to get things to work somewhat properly. I have the full version of Camera Zoom FX and some other popular camera apps, but it's the same thing each time.
There's other issues with this phone add well, like it gets way bogged down sometimes. Chrome and Firefox both can be very laggy. In Facebook, if i click on an article to read it, half of the time I came even read the article because it either freezes up or scrolling is barely responsive.
One thing I keep coming back to its that the previous owner rooted the phone. I can't tell if everything else is stock or not. I mean, I think the phone doesn't have a different kernel, but I don't know where I would find out what the stock kernel is. Would it be a good idea to factory reset the device and then flash the phone to un-root it? I'm just not sure what else it would be. Every review I saw made it sound like these issues should not be happening and it's just a daily frustration for me. I'm almost half tempted to sell the thing and then buy an iPhone 6+. I really like other aspects of the phone so if I can fix this then I'd rather do that.
Craig, is your phone rooted? If so, is the rom you're running Touch Wiz based or is it based off stock Android? If it's stock Android, that ruins Samsung's processing that makes the camera good quality.
Also, the browser consensus is Chrome beta over regular Chrome.

Yeah pretty much.

I like how they used the statue of the Harpy falling as this big dramatic selling point in the commercials, but it turns out to just be Dany remodeling the Great Pyramid, knocking out walls to open up the living room and installing new stainless steel appliances and shit.
Pretty much! Viewers thoughts, "Oh based on the commercials this will be a big thing when it happens wait what it's falling down in the 1st episode. I guess I can cross that off from happening this season in the previews."
I believe it is the case the slave who picks up the chain that Dany catapults over the walls in Season 4 episode 3 "Breaker of Chains" is the one who dies in the brothel.
I felt like the whole episode was just the trailer's extended cut.
Not complaining, btw.

I'm with you. I said the same thing on the Twitter box.
