    Finished the framing of my shed floor this weekend. (and some parts of the picture look wonky, but it's all completely level, side to side and front to back) Going to have to borrow a friends truck to get the plywood for the top, I can't fit 8x4 foot sheet in my SUV like I could the lumber...

    Pizza Hut pepperoni has an odd aftertaste to it. No other pepperoni on Earth has it, only Pizza Hut. It's disgusting.

    Little kids don't give a crap about live TV. Torrent some sesame street and Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and use Netflix/Youtube for the rest. My kid will browse through Youtube as long as you would let him(we try to limit it to 30 min) on a tablet, and he's only 2.

    So the weirdest goddamned thing just happened I go to Lowes to buy all of my supplies this morning, priced it all out yesterday on-line. Plenty of lumber in stock, like 100+ handi-blocks, etc. I get to my local Lowes, and no handi-blocks. They have the older style deck-blocks that are 100%...

    If a tornado comes that close to my house, the least of my worries is my shed thanks for the info Borzak, definitely going 2x6, which should be plenty since I'm only spanning 8 feet, I might go ahead and space them 24" apart instead of 16". would save a bit on costs

    any thoughts on needing to use metal L-brackets anywhere, or will just screwing it all together be sufficient?

    Emailed this to a friend...who already informed me that our local building codes require at least 2x6 for flooring, so looks like I'm using 2x6es for all of it.

    I definitely planned on digging some of then in to level the platform, but I could dig them ALL in several inches if that would make a big difference in overall support. I was basically going to leave the low side sitting on the ground as-is, and dig in the high-side to make it level, but I...

    No idea really. The ground there is pretty compacted already, as it had a 10x12 shed sitting on it for 20+ years(tore it down last summer, was rotting pretty bad), and the ground is naturally pretty level already (probably slopes about 1 inch over the 10 foot span from left to right). But...

    OK Home improvement bros, here is my plan for my wooden platform to build a 8x10 plastic shed on top. Tell me what I've fucked up before I build this The 2x6 boards will be the bottom level of support, supported by handi-block concrete blocks as seen here: Shop Handi-Block 4 x 4...

    Yeah, I could never get shit for ratio seeding off of my home internet connection with Time Warner. I had 100mbps down but only 5mbps up. virtually no one would ever be connected to me. Switched to a seedbox that is 50mbps down/50mbps up, and it seeds like crazy

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    That's really going to come down to the antennas more than the standard(b,n,ac,whatever) AC routers *can* support up to 8 seperate antennas running at 400mbps apiece, but I haven't seen one with more than 4 antennas. The best "n" routers have 3-4 antennas currently, so your range and...

    It almost has to have something to do with charge rates, because using that cord charges my Note about 3-4x faster than using a standard Micro USB cable(both plugged into the same wall/outlet charger)

    The best seeding I've ever done is with a season of a popular TV show, right after the season ends. The last season of Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones, both were 30-40 gig downloads @ 720p, but I seeded both for about 6 months and uploaded over 1TB on both, 20.0+ ratio on each. I finally took...

    I've always been curious about this, but never really looked into it... If you're working out and doing some sort of cardio (running, stairs, bike, whatever), do you actually burn significantly more calories if you do the activity in higher heat that makes you sweat more? Like, is running a...

    Witcher 3

    Anyone have an issue with multiple mods not working simultaneously? If I run the .bat file to enable the "all hairworks besides Geralt" mod, then it nukes my custom carrying weight mod, and vice versa. Running the .bat file from one basically erases the other. Seems odd.

    Yeah, I kinda assumed that the Shield would mostly be for playing games that natively support a gaming controller (stuff like Witcher, Assassins Creed, Batman Arkham, etc). Games that are KB & mouse probably don't translate too well

    So how do we all feel about the all-star game being Royals vs the National League? I don't think the shit will really hit the fan unless Infante gets the start at 2B. He's a total dumpspter fire. At least every other Royal has an argument that they should at least be "in" the game(but...

    I run the game with the only settings not at ultra/max being shadows(high) and hair FX(turned off) on my 970 @ 1440p and it always stays at a perfectly playable 30-50 FPS. If you're playing at 1080p, you could definitely crank everything to max on a 970 and stay well above 30fps at all times...

    Witcher 3

    Honestly, they should let you fast-travel to any road sign at any time, as long as you aren't in combat. You'd still have to do a decent amount of running from the destination sign to your actual POI/quest, but making you run to one sign, just to travel to another sign for more running is a...

    how is the latency on the shield tv for gaming? I'm trying to decide whether to just run a 25' HDMI cord from my PC to my Plasma, or get an Nvidia shield(which would also replace my Roku, so it would serve multiple purposes). I'm just a little worried about latency for fast-moving/action games.
