pretty sick deal, you're basically getting a 40 inch samsung for a hundred bucks
yea, you could sell either one i guess. the deal is supposed to be targeted at college students that are heading back to school.
I figured I would just use the TV for my room and hook the xbox one up in my living room on the bigger screen.
damn, the samsung is even a smart tv
this is pretty much a black friday type deal, i guess best buy had a shitload of the samsung inventory they were looking to move
little late to the party on this one but has anyone been grinding serial podcast? i've only listened to the first episode and it was pretty entertaining. I guess I still have a hankering for this shit since the jinx.

A man using his cell phone to film a bull run in Spain was thrown head over heels into the air by a hard-charging bull and then gored to death in front of a horrified crowd.
The victim, identified as David González Lopez, 32, was trying to capture a collision between bulls in the central Spanish town of Villaseca de la Sagra when another beast turned back and charged a crowd of gawkers who stepped into the street from behind the safety of barriers, according to reports.
One of those stories that defy belief.

Horrible, horrible rag headed cunt.

Scientists Film Entire Nervous System at Work for First Time
Ever wonder what it would look like inside the brain and nerves of a creature while it does its thing? Scientists did too, and now for the first time they've managed to capture imagery of the entire central nervous system of a living, moving, complex animal.
The team, led by Philipp Keller at Howard Hughes Medical Institute, used a technique called light-sheet microscopy, by which the subject (in this case, the larva of a fruit fly) is illuminated from two sides by lasers while cameras watch. The researchers lit up the larva and captured images while it crawled around, observing the patterns that emerged in the creature's brain cells.
The resulting video shows the signals the larva's central nervous system sends to make its body move. Before now, it was only possible to do this with smaller, simpler organisms, or so slowly that neural activity couldn't be effectively captured.
This whole-brain imaging is the natural next step for the study of how brains work, the researchers suggest.
"It is becoming increasingly clear that to understand how neuronal networks function, it is important to measure neuronal network activity at the system level," they wrote in the paper, which was published Tuesday in Nature Communications.
The researchers hope that their work will set the stage for similar studies of even larger and more complex brains as the technology matures.

RISE OF THE MACHINES
update:
i showed up around 5pm and people were waiting already in the gaming section. I asked one of them what was the story and they shrugged and said apparently they are being delivered right now.
about 10 mins later they rolled them out right to the register and luckily i got the last one they had. the people behind me were told to come back tomorrow.

Aftermath
Holy shit....
apparently, they were fighting the fire with water, but the area was covered with chemicals, in particular, sodium cyanide, toluene diisocyanate and calcium carbide, which produces a deadly toxic gas when mixed with water. China is reporting very low casualty numbers, but the press are pissed and are being kept away from the scene.
"The Tianjin Tanggu Environmental Monitoring Station data suggests hazardous chemicals stored by the company include sodium cyanide (NaCN), toluene diisocyanate (TDI) and calcium carbide (CaC2), all of which are extremely hazardous to health.
Sodium cyanide is highly toxic whilst toluene diisocyanate and calcium carbide react violently with water – a further potential hazard with rain forecast for the region over the next 24 hours.
The rain also raises the risk of chemicals being washed into local water supplies and eco-systems – with unknown impacts."
"The Tianjin Binhai New Area explosion, just how many people were killed? Officially published figures say 50 people died in the accident, 11 of which were members of the firefighting effort. However, "Apple" reporters followed family members of those missing, and police cars into the disastor-zone investigation. According to the police, 120 firefighters and armed police entered the site to help, but only 4 came out. Added with the others, there should ought to be approximately 200 dead.
The police also said, there were many dead from those living in their houses, mostly from broken shards of glass. The power of the explosion was enormous, with everything within 10 kilometers being affected. Police also criticized firefighters for improperly fighting the fire with water; you must not use water, use chemical foam fire extinguishing instead.
Most strange is this: I have a friend on WeChat (Chinese IM service), her friend was a soldier involved in the rescue, who told her that they had already lifted, two or three hundred bodies from the site. Internet users also said not to trust the news from the mainland."
