    MLB 2015 Season

    Ah yeah, I missed trout because it wasn't on the "biggest contract" list I was looking at, *only* being a $144 million contract over 6 years. the others I mentioned were all $200million+ deals for more years. Trout is definitely worth the money.

    I wasn't talking about just last year. I was talking about a 10-year period. Wisconsin has been significantly better than Michigan St over the past decade(but I would give MSU the nod in the last 3-4 years for sure), Wisconsin has won 10+ games in 6 of the last 10 years. And Georgia might be...

    Dude, Tuna Casserole is GREAT. I fuckin LOVE that shit. Egg noodles, tuna, some velveeta cheese, maybe throw some peas in, a can of Cream of Chicken soup(I don't like mushrooms) and crumble up some potato chips on top, bake it for half an hour and it comes out as something like the god of...

    Stanton seems to be about the only guy in the last few years that got a mega-contract, and is actually worth it. Maybe Cabrera, but his new 10 year contract just started last year, pretty sure he'll be WAY out of juice before that even gets close to the end. the Marlins giving Stanton that...

    Well, it stays really cool and it owns in completely synthetic (non-gaming) benchmarks... so I guess AMD has that going for them

    1440p for $199 is damn tempting though...(especially as a 2nd monitor, I already have a "good" 1440p for my gaming)

    Monoprice has been selling their brand of monitors for a few years now. They're cheaply made (like the Korean 1440p monitors) but they all use basically the same display panels. You mostly are getting a cheap casing/stand and limited extra features (maybe only 1 video port, etc) that makes...

    My 2 year old is all of a sudden having all sorts of issues going to sleep at night. Nothing has changed whatsoever with his schedule. Up until a month ago we always had him in bed by 7:30-8pm, he fell asleep fairly quickly, and all was good. Now he won't even think about sleep if it's...

    Those FuryX benchmarks are pretty disappointing, to be honest. It's pretty much behind the 980Ti at every resolution under 4k, and then *at best* tied with the 980Ti at 4k, but still behind in some games. If you're gaming at 1080p or 1440p, The Fury X basically splits the difference between...

    Yeah the disappearance of the SD card slot is the most alarming new trend in phones. IDGAF about the battery being removable or not, I've never swapped out a battery in any phone I've owned in the past several years. I refuse to pay a $100-$200 premium to go from 32GB of internal memory to...

    When I was at Gamestop we had an old microwave in our back room that no one ever used. We used to microwave the hell out of AOL CDs and demo CDs out of magazines. A CD puts on a hell of a light show in a microwave. They are awesome, it's like a lightning storm in your microwave (smells like...

    Never use recycled paper in the microwave. Any recycled paper (a lot of paper bags, some paper towels, etc) can have tiny flecks of metal that spark and quickly start fires. I've been using normal paper towels for YEARS with never a single fire, but it's generally to do something like cover...

    I'm about 60 hours into the game and I just don't use the horse at all. It's barely faster than running on your own, and more awkward to control, and definitely a pain in the ass to dismount if something is attacking you. In my 60+ hours of play I've probably spent all of 15 minutes on a...

    Welcome to the club. I have a pair of Dr Scholl's sandals that are comfortable as fuck, but just the fact that they are made by Dr Scholl's makes them sound like you should have to be 80 years old to wear them. IDGAF. The're so damn soft its like walking on a cloud.

    I'm not really enjoying Skellige so far, feels like playing Skyrim with all the damn talk of Jarls and all the impassible mountains and such. Velen & Novigrad felt new & interesting and now Skellige feels way too familiar/boring.

    Yes , it is still at the mercy of the game/engine spring multi card use, or trying to brute force it through the card manufacturers software suite (far from ideal)

    Looks like they are in the KC Metro Area and Lawrence but that is it for Kansas. Culvers is probably most similar to Braums if I had to compare it to another chain (that you might be familiar with if you are in the okkahoma or North Texas area)
