I looked at the 1+1 on its website because I see it talked about a lot here and it's only like $299? Some of these alternatives from Virgin are like the same price or more even after the contract discount. It... sounds appealing, to say the least. But I have a few questions about it if anyone has time!
How durable is it? I'm a farmer, but I typically keep my phone in a ziploc bag to prevent fine dust and whatever's on my hands from wrecking phones. Would something like having it in your pocket and leaning on something be alright or is it too fragile without like a huge beefy case? I saw a handful of reviews critiquing its longevity too, I'm really more of a 1-phone-lasting-multiple-years kind of person, so can the 1+1 handle that?
I got a $10 case with the phone, and as far as I can tell, the whole thing is pretty damn sturdy. I don't use a screen protector personally. I really do love this phone. Be careful though, I believe it only works for AT&T and T-Mobile.
I always keep screen facing my leg, so I see no reason leaning against something would hurt it, but I guess it depends how hard and what you're leaning on. It is just slightly smaller than the iPhone 6plus, which surprised me, but I've gotten really used to it, and can't look at my iPhone 4s without feeling like a giant now.

Same, I don't use a screen protector and only use the flip cover case. I've had it fall off my standing desk on to the floor without any damage at all. This phone is the best phone I've ever used in my life by far.
I have a really nice one at home that mechanically moves up and down. Can't recommend them enough.
Between that and the http://www.ikeahackers.net/ website I found while looking at DIY standing desks (I also admit to looking it up right after you mentioned it) I am thoroughly impressed. If you take the standing part off of the desk it looks like it'd make a nice ground-sitting table height too, which I like.

That was incredible. I very much agree with what Penn said about the tone of the show as well, the music and his body language and his movement... just amazing.

The only really interesting part to me was his smoke use age. His slight of hand is actually pretty easy to watch if you know where to look.

On a similar note, though, they really did upgrade their show in the second season, didn't they? Looks way more decked out than before.

For sure. I caught the rubrics cube guy yesterday. He's damn good at it.

I saw this one as well, but I prefer the card tricks one. As Penn said, even though you can catch some of the movements, it didn't detract from the performance at all.
Dont ask, there is so much to watch this weekend, my god, DH Valencia, EVO..good thing all the dota teams are bootcamping otherwise I'd be really stretched thin

IMO, Evo tends to be the best gaming event of the year every year. Championship Sunday at Evo is one of my favorite calendar days of the year, no other qualifiers necessary.
EPT
