    The Home Ownership Thread

    With TVs on the large side it's not a resolution issue, it's a viewing angle issue. 70" at 6.5' is right about where you have trouble seeing the entire screen at once. I've had home theater projectors in a variety of apts/homes over the last ten years and if you're projecting at a fairly short...

    The Uniqlo Thread

    Awesome. You can wear them a size tight or a size loose, wrinkled or fresh. A++ for the money, you probably have to move to $150+ til you find something substantially better.

    Anyone ever moved from a place that's warm year-round to colder/snow-y location?

    Eden Prairie is nice for a suburb. Minneapolis is fantastic for a metro area. You will be ecstatic about what you can obtain versus So Cal for the price. Job outlook in MN metro area is strong. If you are living in a suburb you just need a connected garage, parking close to work, and contract...

    What are you drinking right now?

    Saw a great video on Facebook, need to go get some brandy: http://www.smallscreennetwork.com/video/853/morgenthaler-method-brandy-old-fashioned/

    What to do in Seattle?

     Fremont rocks. If you're a beer guy, go to Brouwers and Fremont Brewing. I like 9 Million for bourbon or happy hour. If you want fish, Rock Creek. For lunch, anything at Paseo. Quick walk and you can hit The Whale Wins. Or, the guy who does the Where Ya At Matt truck just opened a place...

    Nau (Eco Friendly Activewear and Outdoor Clothing)

    I don't know Black Yak but the fact that they license Marmot in Korea seems a positive to me. Marmot doesn't have the cache of North Face or Patagonia to most people but they make great technical gear. While I'm in this thread, I'll say that I bought one of Nau's trench shells like five years...

    Gin and Tonic: which are your brands, respectively?

    Give these guys a shot if you see them on the shelf. Big Gin is pretty decent too.

    Print-quality movie stills?

    I don't know, you can probably get away with 200 ppi for the application so you might be able to print 10-12" or so, which will look large in a matted frame, especially if you have multiple prints. How big do you want it? The bigger issue will be the quality of the video transfer and the shot in...

    What to do in Seattle?

    Get pastries at Macrina and eat them at the Olympic sculpture park (Belltown). Good breweries to check out are Fremont Brewing, Pike Brewing (right next to the market), and Elysian (Cap Hill location is better but Pioneer Square may be convenient). Also good for beer: Brouwers in Fremont. Lots...

     The ship unlocks help a lot. Both Engi ships are great, both versions of Artillery Beam are good, Slug 1, etc. Learning to board ships (or kill the crew in other ways without destroying the ship) is incredibly powerful as you get better loot. Pretty much necessary to beat normal. Ion guns...

    Everlane Weekender -- anyone had the bag for a while who can comment on durability?

     This should go in the everlane thread: http://www.styleforum.net/t/285166/everlane-t-shirts/0_50 I have no idea what this guy is talking about. The straps are fine. Long enough to go over your shoulder, short enough to carry without dragging. The weight of the straps is appropriate for the...

    Have we been getting ripped off by "premium" denim manufacturers?

     These are all great brands though. APC has the cut, 5EP and PBJ have jaw dropping denim, NDG had the hardware and denim. I have probably worn more of the high end brands than anyone not named LA Guy in this thread, and I like the Gustin 16 oz Japan denim mentioned in this thread a whole...

    Vacation: San Francisco and Northern California. Where to Go? What to Do? Where to Stay?

    If you're going all the way to the Oregon, definitely check out Jedidiah Smith State Park (I recommend the Boy Scout Trail over just about any hike in California) and the coast on Del Norte State Park (Hidden Beach is incredible). These are both hikes about two miles out and back with minimal...

    Halp! - Job Timing

    Good luck to you (0). I think administrators, especially at publicly funded schools, have a huge bullseye on their backs right now due to narratives like this: http://www.amazon.com/Fall-Faculty-All-Administrative-University-Matters/dp/019978244X or this...

    Halp! - Job Timing

     Well, don't call that a faculty position to anyone who is actually on faculty. IE, postdocs are faculty-track employees who have actually finished their degrees, but you would never ever call a postdoc a faculty position. Benefit and salary match to instructor level is not the relevant...

    Halp! - Job Timing

    What is the faculty job? If the pay is the same as the other job, I'm inclined to think it is an adjunct, but then you call it an advising position, which makes me think high-level TA. Don't get me wrong, if you have a realistic shot at a non-adjunct faculty position then a few lean years are...

     How "newer" are we talking? Dragon Age: Origins is really good. The sequel is okay. These are probably closest to what you want. Neverwinter Nights 2 is fun, but two of the expansions, Mask of the Betrayer and Storm of Zehir, are awesome. These are older, but have you played Baldur's...

    TOJ - updates on the debacle, complaints, news about other ventures, whatever.

    ^ Obenauf's will definitely take the leather several shades darker, and it will have a fairly heavy smell to start. Great for boots, do not recommend for jackets.
