thoughts on the Galaxy Nexus?

seems to be notably bigger than the Nexus S, initially thought about switching just for the hell of it, but I don't think I want anything larger.

not that next level, but pretty cool nonetheless

How about reading the fucking rules?

Is the nexus prime and the droid prime the same phones?

I assume droid is a name verizon slaps on phones to make it "theirs", but the phone is called nexus prime.

shit, how did I miss this thread...

played the bf beta today and it seemed better after getting used to it a bit. but still, I don't think its my thing. I have so little time to play nowadays that I'll probably just cop mw3.

speaking of which, looks alright but a bit confusing. hopefully they didn't over do it. the new strike/streak system has potential I think, I hope it'll emphasize the game targets more.

Nexus prime needs to drop now!

yes. I love my NS, looking forward to seeing what it'll be like. if this teaser shot is realistic, the shape seems pretty wild.

BF3 beta sucked.

right? it's seriously not that bad, its your average runway stuff.

"average runway stuff"? what great insight into the world of fashion shows. if someone else makes shit, do we need a celebrity to mimic that?

he's doin a better job than most of the users on here would probably do.

are you seriously using the "you couldn't do better yourself" argument? none of us here is showing a collection at Paris fashion week. neither should Kanye, because he is not a fashion designer.

But apparently all the dudes on here are womens' fashion experts in their spare time

you don't have to be an expert to tell this is garbage. its basically knock off's of a number of other designers, put together poorly with zero coherence or personality by designers that Kanye hired to do the collection for him. he is doing this to be cool, and high fashion seems to be popular now. thats why rappers are name dropping Dior or Margiela and wearing Givenchy.

its an unnecessary collection but what isn't hese days. still better than most of the shit that clogs up NYFW

thats not saying much.. but NYFW would've been a better venue for this either way.

looks sick b&w

looks like a

@lowery how's the bike coming along?

slowly, haven't even had time to ride much.. work and kid are taking up all the time

sorry if someone asked this before--does anyone have recommendations for tattoo artists/parlor in manhattan or brooklyn?

you think?

Invisible and Saved among many others have good artists

surprised this isnt in here yet

would wear this all the time if i wasnt a fat legged midget

you can't see anything from this picture, but its automatically best because dude is wearing fucking leggings?

:confused:

what I don't get is how does that dude know that he'll have something to hold on to all the way up?

yup, thats him..

Motorcycles aren't that hard to get into and understand. Buy the manual for your CB and make it your best friend. Read it from cover to cover and every time you work on the bike, have the manual open to that area. It will make every ten times easier.

I'd also suggest doing a thorough inspection of the frame for any cracks, check the bolts/nuts to see if anything needs to be replaced, look for parts that might be worn down, rubber that is cracking from hardening cause those may need to be replaced as well. Hondas are pretty reliable so you should be good to go.

You could find some forums that specify in cafe racers and just look at build threads people put on there. Those are really handy because someone is trying and making mistakes that you can learn from or might have a good idea you could use on your bike.

Cafe racer conversions are pretty easy. A different tail, exhaust, and bars would dramatically change the look of the bike. Some go to further lengths of moving the battery and oil tank which takes a little more work.

With just a little patience/practice you could easily get what you want and post a picture of what you're working with.

very good advice.

I bought an XL this spring and had zero experience with bikes, though I had worked with cars for several years. I still don't know much about engines, but assembly, installations etc was easy to pick up.

I would start by thinking what you want to change on the bike, and then just start looking around manuals and/or online for instructions on how to do those things. then you'll get an idea on what kind of work you are looking at.

build threads etc are indeed very handy, you can get ideas on what to do and what not to do, how its done and so on.

staged I would assume, I guess its just a campaign to get rid of shitty parking?

you mean the whole photo doesn't fit in the window..? I suppose it depends on resolution and browser, seemed to fit on my 15" laptop though.

thx bro couldn't figure out what it was

Probably with the phone. I would take it to the carrier and ask for a replacement as I find that when they try and fix it it usually doesn't help and can only make problems worse.

I'm in europe and bought it from the US, so no carrier will be able to help out as the nexus phones are not sold here. the closest thing is a Samsung Galaxy.

I suppose I could try it with a different sim card, but the problems occur so irregularly that it would be quite difficult.

having strange problems with my Nexus S. people are telling me that when they call me it goes straight to voicemail. happened just today, and apparently messages are not coming through either, I was sent an sms that didn't hit my phone until 40 minutes later when I made a call. now I tried making a call and it took 3 tries for it to go through, first two gave a beep as if the network would be busy / not available, even though I had full reception. problem with phone or carrier?
