***Official Galaxy Nexus Pre-Release speculation thread**

OT:

Spoiler alert for Once Upon a Time:

Spoiler

I know! I doubt it's permanent, but I think it's going to have to wait until they're back in Fairy Tale. I love all the LOST references on the show, though, like the kiss flashbacks.

What blew my mind, though, was Regina knowing exactly what was happening! I thought that she was just as much in the dark as anyone about her true past. I do think that Mr. Gold knows it all, too. And what the frak was he burying in the woods when Graham showed up?!

I don't buy into the "throw away" mentality that is so prevalent today. I don't know when marriage stopped meaning anything for most people, but I don't like it.

OT

Spoiler Alert

Spoiler

That Regina is a BI**H, and yes it appears she knows exactly what's going on... Mr. Gold, I haven't yet figured out, it is almost like he wants the spell broken which makes me think he has made more deals that will come to light. I want to know what he was up to in the woods too. I figure Graham is alive in the sideways universe and I hope he isn't completely dead in this one (maybe like Price C was in the beginning episodes) I guess we will be waiting until after Christmas to see

My husband and i have been married for 15 1/2 years and I am very proud of that. I come from a broken home and making our marriage work means a lot to me.

OT and might be a little preachy (I apologize in advance):

Spoiler

To each his/her own, and I do feel that you're right. Being close-minded about substances you put into your body is much more important than other areas because these substances have the possibility of causing harm, or being a catalyst for actions that cause harm.

Just bringing this up because I've heard many people preach day and night about drugs while being perfectly fine with anything a doctor prescribes. Just cause it's medical heroin, doesn't mean it isn't heroin.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming.

OT

Spoiler

I avoid any/all narcotic drugs. I turned down vicodin when I got a MRSA infection. I hurt my back recently, and I know Aleve works wonders, but I still won't take it. Our bodies are equipped with everything they need to heal. I want to grow old and not need 17 prescriptions to function. That's why I treat my body the way I do. Clean foods, lots of exercise and mental stimulation. Barring any freak accidents or genetic quirk, I should be good to go for a long time. (I hope)

Pics or it didn't happen.

Oh wait, found a pic for you:

Spoiler

This picture reminds me of one I saw on my buddies Facebook page the other day.

 

[m1scr3ant]

You do know what the word "literally" means right? I'm picturing you walking along with your ass literally dragging on the ground, that can't be comfortable.

Yes, I'm aware, and I meant that it FEELS like my ass is dragging, of course not literally!

Do you use deodorant?

 

[RookTheKlown]

Drug free, free of things that cause addiction. Advil and cough drops aren't exactly in that list...narcotics on the other hand... Caffeine is iffy - but still infinitely better than cocaine. I even avoid taking any sort of asprin/anti-inflammatories. I also rarely consume caffeine. Only when I'm literally dragging my ass will I get coffee or something.

Free of things that cause addiction, yet here you are on this thread!

OT:
Not trying to be argumentative, so sorry in advance.

Spoiler

Anything can be addictive, even cough drops. I think most of us are addicted to Nexus news...
What makes caffeine better or worse than another drug like cocaine? Is it a legal issue?
I've given up drugs before (caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, . . .), at the time I was a heavy smoker & drinker, and though I don't really smoke or drink much now I think the best approach is moderation. Blanket statements like "One shouldn't take drugs" leave out things like prescription medicine. I no longer drink or smoke much, but I take drugs every single day as prescribed by my doctor.

Just my OT $0.02

Edited to hide OT...

Maybe you have excessive iron in your system? I know a lot of women take iron supplements because of the "woman times" p), and it builds up too much and you, well, taste metal.

I didn't even think of that. *checking calendar *
Thanks for the idea. And I don't take supplements cause I have high levels to begin with.

I know someone asked about "SDCard" (internal storage) read/write speeds on the device.

So, how do these numbers (2d/3d, cpu, etc) compare to other current devices?

Couldn't agree more!!!

Spoiler

I'm not a hippy! lol

I've read things saying it can seep into your skin and cause problems, but I haven't seen anything conclusive either way. If it turns out that some issue can be directly linked to deodorant use, you bet your ass it will be in the trash!

 

[Laxstar785]

Couldn't agree more!!!

i also agree for the record i was just trying to be funny.....trying being the keyword and whats up fellow rhode islander!

 

[Laxstar785]

you know what the more i think about it......eeeeshhhhh kate beckinsale would be hard to turn down

I would like to think i would do the right thing....

Still OT, Cigars

OT - Cigar talk.

I'm no expert, but, I heard once that many of the really good cigar makers from Cuba actually moved away because of Castro and the embargo. And now a days you can actually get better cigars from places like Nicaragua & The Dominican Republic etc.

Cuban cigars are more of a novelty these days. I smoked some that I got from the Dutch duty free store when I was in Kandahar and they weren't all that good.

A lot of black market fakes make it out of Cuba as the real deal. A lot of illegally transported cigars dry out en route because of improper storage. I have smoked cigars in Cuba (educational exchange) and I can tell you, there is a difference. You still need to buy a reputable brand, and you can still get bad cigars that are legit. But a Cuban Montecristo #5 in Havana is a wonderful experience.

It is GREAT, I think if you liked LOST you would like it. It is based on all of the fairy tale characters (snow white, etc) and the evil queen puts a curse on them all and they now live in a town on our side of things where time is stuck, or at least it was, without going into detail someone shows up in town that weakens and should eventually break the curse.

OT: (Dark Knight Rises)

Spoiler

Check out the cool new poster. Are they going to kill him off??

OT - I'm looking forward to this so much. Nolan has done a fantastic job with the series so far, and I can't wait to see how he ends it.

POSSIBLE SPOILER

Spoiler

In the comics, Bane breaks Batman's back during a fight, which results in someone else taking on the costume for a while. There's a possibility that we'll see some aspects of that story.

OT: (Dark Knight Rises)

Spoiler

Spoilers:

Spoiler

Well, in Batman: Knightfall, Bane is the one who breaks Batman's back and basically forces him into retirement. They could be planning to incorporate some elements from that story arc into the movie.

OT:

Is there any way I can get Verizon to give me Unlimited Data with a new contract if I tell them that I currently have Unlimited Data with AT&T?

No, I don't think they have any way to give you unlimited data. Pretty positive they just have choices "Keep data plan" or they can pick from the ones currently offered. You can get 4GB for the price 2 right now though as far as I know.

Yeah, definitely sounds a little too aggressive for me. I'm sure its good though. So far some of my favorite shows:
1) Breaking Bad
2) Arrested Development
3) 24 (gets boring after awhile)
4) Curb Your Enthusiasm
5) Modern Family (good time passer, no thinking is involved)
