    I finally stopped collecting media, at one point I had 4 3GB Hds full, 2 full with TV series, and 2 full of movies, then I realized that with the availability of Netflix and the ease of finding torrents(and high-speed internet access) that collecting all that shit was just dumb. Why am I...

    We had a couple D'angelo's open around town like 20 years ago, and then they all went out of business and closed up within a year or two. I always thought they were damn good. Back 20 years ago, the only other sub chain around was Subway, and they were a LOT better than Subway. I'm not sure...

    Cord-Cutting, Or How to Stream your Way to Success

    Yeah the Missouri law is hilarious. The state collects no sales tax from online retailers. It's up to individual citizens to file a tax form and pay their sales tax directly to the state for any online purchases they make. I'll let you guess what the compliance is on that (since the state...

    The best cheesecake I've had in my entire life was a turtle cheesecake with an oreo crust. chocolate oreo crust, and I think there were small pieces of oreo in the actual cheesecake filling itself too, then topped with hot fudge, melted caramel, and roasted pecans. So goddamned good.

    MLB 2015 Season

    I'd bet almost anything the Royals won't go get a big front-line ace. Dayton Moore seems to want to emulate those Brave teams of the 90s that he worked for, with sustained success over many years rather than 1 big push at a title in any 1 year. Hopefully it pays off when it's all said and...

    Panda express makes perfectly average Chinese food. But it's WAY too expensive. So odds are, in most cities of any decent size, you can either find better Chinese food for the same price, or similar quality food for cheaper. You'd have to have some pretty limited options for Panda Express...

    I'm just not a big fan of icing. I always prefer the cake to the icing that is on it. That's why I don't much like cupcakes, they're like 50% icing and 50% cake. Way too much icing. I'd buy plain Oreo wafers with no filling if they were available. I think that's why I liked the Kye Lime...

    Best way to write off a vehicle

    Generally, Mileage is the easiest way and the IRS usually allows a pretty fair mileage rate (I think it's around 50-55 cents per mile in recent years) However, if you purchase a new car you will probably want to do itemized deductions for 5 years as you can write off the depreciation of the...

    Original >>> Double Stuff. Double stuff is too much icing/filling. My favorite part of the standard oreo is the cookie, not the filling. That's why nothing will ever top a standard, normal oreo, the filling always comes 2nd.

    Key Lime Pie Oreos are legit Just enough key lime flavoring to taste good, without being overwhelming. The cookie itself is graham cracker-ish(like key lime pie crust) One of the best non-original Oreo flavors, maybe second only to Mint (original Oreos will still always be king, though)
