So much this. I used to be a field electrician and a ETC certified repair technician (they make 3 phase 700 amp dimmer racks), and took a job doing audio afterwards. One day in the field my boss was yelling at the electrician for the show to "give him more neutral" because the neutral leg was arcing when he was trying to tie in. Yeah, it tends to do that if you plug in all the hot leads and have all the amps and distro on. I'm still amazed my old boss hasn't killed himself yet.

I realize that I'm a statistical outlier on this one but I actually play better in competitive settings while slightly drunk. There is a weird sweet spot somewhere in the .10x area for me that I have better reaction times and judgement than if I was slightly buzzed, sober, or completely drunk. My clan mates can attest to this, as I do better in tournaments in this area than if I were sober. They actually tell me to hit a few beers before we get into matches.

California already tried something like that. They wanted the firing pin to stamp the guns serial number on the shell casings so the could identify the gun that fired it. Not sure if that ever made it into law, but there was something on here about some patent making it impossible to happen.

Just thought I'd leave this here - T-Mobile doesn't get rid of the subsidies, they just are more up front about it. I am paying $75/month for unlimited everything and my phone subsidy. Now when the 20 months is up and I'm done paying off my phone (contract is 24 months), I get $20 off my bill, bringing it to $55 with taxes. You can opt to go month to month with these services and pay the same as contract, but you have to get a contract to get the discount.

It took me 3 hours to root and install Cyanogenmod with no prior knowledge on how to do so. I did soft brick my phone 3 times in the process though. The only thing I can think to ask is if you're using the right build. There could be a ton if different models under the same name. There are at least 6 models of the GS3.
