Star Trek Beyond Sucked!!!

Blasphemy. The new Uhura is completely different from the old one. The new one is much more in your face, less subtle and refined. Sent from my mobile device.

Star Trek Beyond Sucked!!!

Beyond was interesting because it was the first movie to grab the Enterprise storylines and dive in. MACOs, Xindi, etc. Which also may be why some people are hating on it, but I say polarize the hull plating and bring on the beagles. And yes, Karl Urban is the reincarnation of DeForest Kelley...

Consumer Reports' Satisfaction Rankings

That could be because they found out how much parts and repairs cost on the things rather than a measure of reliability or even car design.

So why did Hillary lose?

Bottom line, most people can't tell you to save their lives that they voted "for" anything. Mostly they were voting against something.

So why did Hillary lose?

Dude, keep calm and use Preparation H. :) Trump hasn't really aired out ANY sort of agenda, he's been too slick to be pinned down on most of what he wants to do, probably because he himself hadn't figured out exactly how much he could get Congress to agree to yet. I don't see how they could...

So why did Hillary lose?

This had as little to do with ideology as a political election can. Clinton represented the traditional political dynastic class, privleged and elite and enjoying it. Trump was the quintessential outsider shaking up the system. People voted to shake up the system because they were tired of...

Any car is dangerous with garbage tires. But that's all a lot of people buy.

Got myself a ZTE Axon 7 (UPDATED WITH CAMERA SAMPLES)

I haven't specifically tried those two, but I've used a 1080p 5.5 inch screen before. The Axon 7 increased resolution is really not all that noticeable in many situations. In my case though, the smoother fonts in the Kindle app are much more comfortable for reading, particularly with the small...

FWD SUVs, why do they exist?

The Jeep Grand Cherokee is unibody and optionally RWD. So is the Nissan Pathfinder I believe. Sent from my mobile device.

No that's another reason for them. It's not as much the AWD (though that helps) but the ground clearance really helps clear snow banks and ruts where normal height cars might get high centered. Sent from my mobile device.

Verizon or AT&T

I personally prefer T-Mobile's superior voice quality, and their international bonus features, but I go overseas a lot. Verizon tends to have better coverage and voice quality than AT&T, but they're noticably more expensive, and you pretty much have to get your phone from Verizon. AT&T you get...

New Roku gear

The problem I have with wireless bandwidth is that it's shared, rather than per station like Ethernet. A single 4k stream could easily saturate many home WiFi setups. That can be a bit of a rude awakening for some. Sent from my mobile device.

New Roku gear

Wow, you have to go up to the $100 one just to get Ethernet...that's scary. I NEVER stream over WiFi if I can avoid it, a wire is just more stable. Though I've been known to use WiFi for remote rooms without an Ethernet drop.

Best Streaming box?

That would be good if true. I heard NVIDIA had a period of exclusivity on it, but maybe that's expired. https://www.engadget.com/2016/09/26/roku-2016-ultra-premiere-express/ Looks like the Roku Premiere will support 4K video for $80. HDR will require an upgrade to the $100 Premier Plus...
