    Get the SSD. Unless you absolutely can't reinstall Windows because you don't have a disk or iso to use. The SSD is the single biggest upgrade in home computers since the invention of the 3d graphics accelerator about 20 years ago. SSD is a total game changer. If you can afford one, you...

    The tablet showed up yesterday(damn fast shipping, for free and not being Amazon) Great tablet so far. Immediately updated to Android 5.1, and my god is it fast. Incredibly responsive, super quick to load any app, load videos, etc. I thought my Note 3 phone was pretty responsive, but this...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Provel (and thus, Imo's Pizza) is an abomination. I love velveeta, but I despise Provel. Provel tastes like a sweaty foot. But admittedly, I've only ever had it on pizza in St Louis, but it's atrocious in that form.

    Well, they're about double the price of the Evo line, 50-60% more than Pro, for equivalent storage. 1TB Evo is about $350, and so is 500GB PCI-e interface drive Also, a lot of not so great reviews(mostly compatibility issues, it seems) SAMSUNG SM951 MZHPV512HDGL-00000 M.2 512GB...

    Give me some points of interest for Indianapolis and/or Louisville

    I have to drive out to SE Ohio(Athens) next month for a wedding, and I have two basic routes to choose from, either taking me through Indianapolis, or Louisville, depending on the route. I'd probably spend the night in one of those cities, and could even spend an extra day or two there if...

    850 Pro is definitely the way to go with SSDs if money is no object(as demonstrated by your video cards) The "Pro" line gives you about 10% better performance than the "Evo" line, for roughly 40% more price at the 1GB size.

    Yeah, even at 2 years, if we screw up nap time(out doing something on the weekend, or whatever) his sleep routine gets jacked for a day or two. Gets cranky and falls sleep early that night, then up early the next day and wanting to nap too long, then not tired at bedtime, etc. You screw up...

    MLB 2015 Season

    KC is dead last in the AL for number of Quality Starts, yet has the best record in the AL. If we picked up a legit ace, we'd run away with this thing. However if we dont, the wheels may fall off the bus by the end of the season. We're just starting a stretch of 18 games in 17 days(zero days...

    What is his nap schedule like during the day? Our kid started sleeping really well through the night around the point he got on a pretty consistent napping schedule. At 6 months he was waking up about 6am, napping 9-11, napping again 2-4, and then asleep by 7-7:30pm and sleeping until...

    Our kid was sleeping through the night by about 5-6 months old (which was 3-4 months after we got him home, and sleeping in a crib. He was in an incubator in the hospital for his first 2 months after birth, so I don't know if that time should count or not). He only did the mid-night feedings...

    College Football 2015-16

    That's pretty much my opinion of Mizzou. Everyone can just keep picking us to finish 4th in the East every year, and we'll just keep stomping those expectations every year. I don't like being highly-touted going into a season, it can only result in disappointment. I enjoy 10-2 seasons where...

    SEC Network on Twitter: Six of the Top 10... we'll take it. As much as I like to talk about the virtues of the SEC, I can't see this being accurate. No way is A&M or Arkansas a top 10 team. Top 25? That's reasonable, but not top 10. Ole Miss is probably a stretch as well. And what about...

    Home Improvement

    The only way I would do it is how my friend did it in the previous post that I mentioned...all of his solar panels are just in a field next to his home, not actually on his roof. He has a ton of acreage, so he had plenty of space to put the panels on the ground. Panels on the roof seem like a...

    I have a good friend that installed solar panels. He has a big house, probably around 3000sq feet. In the summer his electric bills would top out around $400 per month to cool his home and about the same for gas in the dead of winter. The solar panels negate about $300 worth of power per month...

    It's these sous-vide crazies. 2 hours to make an egg instead of 5 minutes...4 hours to cook a steak instead of 5-7 minutes of searing on a grill. I don't see where the 10-20x more time justifies the marginally better(arguably) product

    I'll admit that the Corsair H100i doesn't cool much better than a lot of top-end air coolers, but what it does do is do it VERY quietly, and it also expels the heat completely out of the case via a radiator, rather than disbursing hot air on the interior of the case like most air coolers do...

    Path of Exile

    In that last league before the whole beta/Act 4 shut-down, I started a new hardcore character and didn't find my first master until Cruel Act 3. Shit was ridiculous, and I was doing FULL zone clears, not just racing through as fast as possible.

    Act 4 damage is pretty crazy. My lvl 81 witch has 4900hp, 300ES, capped resists, about 10% armor and 25% avoidance and I was running Arctic Armor and I dropped dangerously low on health a couple times clearing zones.
