I wonder what the next 5-10 years will bring as far as mobile devices and their batteries...will the 3.6A USB be enough to be future proof for quite a while? I don't think too many current devices use more than 2.1A max to charge, but I wonder if that will ramp up in the near future?

So...what exactly does your wife do if she doesn't take care of the kid, doesn't cook, doesn't do laundry? Do you both work, or is it only her? If she's the sole worker, then I can kinda see that. But even still, whether one spouse goes to work and one stays home to take care of the kid...

linky no workie I would assume if the port on the zune is a micro USB, any micro USB cord should work just fine (just make sure it's micro, not mini, they're slightly different and I've seen a lot of non-phone products that still use mini USB)

I've had the Corsair K70 keyboard for a good 6+ months now, and I love it. You won't regret that purchase.

I pepper the shit out of everything. I love pepper. I always buy those big Kirkland brand salt and pepper grinders from Costco, and I go through about 3-4 pepper grinders for every 1 salt grinder. I pepper my bacon before I cook it, I pepper the inside of my grilled cheese sandwiches before...

Well, that escalated quickly Report: Steve Sarkisian routinely drank alcohol in USC locker room | NCAA Football | Sporting News Sarkisian to enter treatment; mixed alcohol with medicine RIP USCs season

Why are you interacting with single females with drug problems when you are married?

You might think about a full tower if you're doing a water cooler with a radiator. I had to get a full tower so that I had room to mount my radiator + fans on each side of it(4 fans total) in a push/pull configuration on the interior of the case (mine is on the top/roof of the case), I would...

Honestly, I'd consider Sony and LG(rather than Samsung). I have not been impressed with Samsungs quality in recent years. It seems to be going downhill, fast. I'd snag something like this: Amazon.com: LG Electronics 55UF7600 55-inch 4K Ultra HD Smart LED TV (2015 Model): Televisions Video...

Goody's Steakburgers - Fast Food - Sedalia, MO - Reviews - Photos - Yelp I grew up going there. I've always lived in KC, but I have a ton of relatives in central MO, so I've been through Sedalia probably half a dozen times every year for my entire life. Damn tasty burger. I don't get a...

I still scratch my head at spending $1300 on video cards when 3 years from now they will be outperformed by a single $400 card. I'm still convinced that just upgrading cards every 18-24 months is the way to go. Video cards depreciate and become obsolete faster than any other party of your...

I don't know why, but I was thinking that $1 Canadian was worth more than $1 US. Guess not...looks like the current exchange rate has the US dollar valued about 30% higher than a Canadian dollar...which would explain the ~30% price difference on those parts.

I was just curious...pieced that all together here in the US at our pricing Intel Core i5-6600K, EVGA GeForce GTX 980 Ti - System Build - PCPartPicker $2670 US vs $3490 Canadian (left the wireless router out of both figures) Damn...are you anywhere close to the border or know anyone...

Fucking hell, those prices suck, lol. You might do a little reading on PCI-E SSD drives as C:/boot drives. Seems like a lot of people still have problems with using them as boot drives, and bioses not wanting to recognize them, making fresh windows installs a pain in the ass. Back when I...

Pulled up to a fast food place with 2 ordering lanes. Theres 1 car in each, so I randomly pick one. Goddamn person was so slow that 3 more people pulled up in the other lane, ordered, and pulled forward before the lady in front of me finished. I wanted to get out of my car and fucking stab her.

Goddamn Red Sox are the Royals kryptonite this season. We are 1-4 against them, getting outscored 15-35. They have hammered us this season. Good thing Boston isn't going to be anywhere near the playoffs, I want no part of playing them anymore.

True, but that isn't a drastically different amount. My 250GB SSD is like 233 formatted, so you're talking about a 50% mark of 116.5 vs 125. And regardless, no one is going to notice the speed difference in practical, every day use between a drive being 50% full or 55% full.

Jerry Jones = Al Davis 2.0 Owners should never be GMs in this day and age. It just doesn't work. Jerry is a great businessman, and can money hand over fist, but he cannot be the decision maker for a modern day NFL team. It took Al Davis dying to put the Raiders slowly back on the right...

While a SSD technically starts slowing down once it's half full, it's honestly not going to be noticeable to a normal user until it's really full, like 90%+ I try not to push mine anywhere near 90%, but I definitely go over half. I think my 250gb drive has about 180gig on it, and my 128gb...

Got an email the other day that my Google Fiber install should happen sometime this fall. Can't get here quick enough. Time Warner recently upgraded me for free to 300mbps down, but still limited to 5mbps up, which is total ass.

Yep, retail is what helped me a lot. I'm an introvert, always have been, but I'm absolutely comfortable talking to anyone about anything thanks to retail work in the past. You're basically forced by your job to greet & strike up a conversation with strangers all day long, every day. Becomes...

Stay up on local news, events, & happenings, so that you have something to fall back on once you're out of conversation ideas. "So...have you been to any (insert local sports team here) games lately?" "Did you make it down to (recent local festival/celebration/event) last weekend?" or...

I'd have zero TV services if it weren't for live sports. Hell, I torrent shows for channels that I get anyways, just because I'd rather have the show without commercials(even though I could fast-forward them via DVR, that's still work) I have AMC as part of my DirecTV package but I still...

The Steak & Shakes around here have mostly gone to shit as well. I think a lot of it is their new $4 combo meals. Shit is ridiculously cheap, and a lot of the Steak & Shake workers relied on tips for their earnings, since they have actual waitresses. You don't get much of a tip when someone...

I think Slings BIG selling feature is ESPN and live sports, moreso than the rest of their channels. Hulu does nothing for that.

most "experts" were picking the Royals 3rd or 4th in their division, not even 2nd. Tigers and Indians were supposed to be really good, and a lot of people liked the White Sox too with their offseason pickups. Whoops

A real estate agent cant legally tell you what school district a home is in, or info about the neighborhood(HOA? Pool? etc?)

Odd numbered year, The Fighting Bumgarners aren't winning anything.

Royals have a larger lead over the 2nd place team in their division, than the total gap between the 1st and last place teams of either of the other 2 divisions in the AL

I feel like real estate agents are only really beneficial if you are moving to a city/area that you aren't familiar with. If you've lived in the same city for most of your life, there isn't much an agent can tell you about demographics, neighborhoods, school districts, amenities, etc, that you...

Enjoyed the Pulp Fiction nod...first going to see the movie in 1994 and then when Angie asks him at the train station if he is ok and he replies "I'm pretty fucking far from ok" Just needed a samurai sword and a ballgag

Or it could be like me, and everyone I know who is in their 30s and 40s who collected Topps cards in the 70s, 80s, and 90s, and none of that mass-produced shit is worth the price of the cardboard its printed on. Card collecting got SO popular, and Topps was the most popular brand, that almost...

I didn't think the Note 5 was even out yet.

The DX12 benchmarks that are starting to appear are just weird as hell. A lot of it has to do with the fact that there is only a single DX12 game to benchmark, Ashes of the Singularity, and it appears to be an RTS? A genre not exactly known as the pinnacle of graphical achievements DirectX...

Someone explain to me why in the world would any divisions need to be changed if the Rams move? The Rams are already in the NFC West, them moving to LA makes more geographical sense than it does now. And if the Raiders move to St Louis? So what, they're in the AFC West. ST Louis was...

Every single firefighter I know has a 2nd job. I guess they all just get too bored with all that downtime, only working basically 2 days a week.

Really like the first 2 episodes. Made a horrible of mistake of looking up the wikipedia entry of the real Nick Wasicsko. Don't do it, massive show spoilers. Damnit.

Honestly, I wouldn't count on it being super efficient. Probably less and less efficient, the more different the cards are. I mean, right now you can get a solid 90-95% performance out of 2 matching cards via SLI/crossfire, I would expect that percent to decrease the further apart the two...

It's very difficult to hide my enthusiasm after being reminded what it looks like when you see a QB play that can move the chains in chunks, picking up 15-20 yard gains all over the place. 2 years of Alex "checkdown" Smith and I'd almost forgotten what that is like. KC was 28th in the league...
