    The Beer Thread

    Tried a couple of new seasonal Blue Moon's the past week or so. Their new 2013 spring offering comes in a variety pack, Sunshine Citrus Blonde. Light, crisp, tasty. Comes with Valencia Grove Amber, which is also a decent beer. The other is their Agave Nectar Blonde Ale. Possibly my favorite Blue...

    Are you implying A&M was maybe the 5th best SEC team at the end of last year?

    Home Improvement

    Live in Dallas on 1/2 acre. I called around to 4-5 different services. Most were about the same for edging, mowing, bagging. Settled with a local one for $40 a week, or $45 bi/weekly.

    Music Downloading for the Elderly

    Spotify premium is $9.99 a month. So let's say you download your playlist (and actual songs) to your Android/Iphone/Ipod whatever. Over the course of a few weeks you hit the gym a few times, go running, take a car trip, etc...it stays on your phone and you can listen to it without a wifi...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Hopefully Sean responds as well, but I bought the exact same size and model TV he got and it performs exceptionally well at deflecting glare. My living area is pretty brightly lit, as it's open to the dining room with multiple windows, front entrance with windows on either side of the door, and...

    MLB 2013 season

    Baseball is so frustrating. Rangers down 3-1, bottom of the 7th or so. Bases loaded, one out. Of course Beltre grounds into a double play. Now I hate him and thinks he sucks and it will take me awhile to forgive this transgression. What is it about baseball that does this? Football/Basketball, I...

    HDTVs

    You should be able to turn off active contrast in the display settings. If your AV mode is a pre-defined one, you might need to switch to be able to access it. AVS forums should have a thread dedicated to your model with really good calibrated settings.

    TV Show Cancellation/Renewal 2014

    Up all Night getting canceled kinda sucks. Was semi funny show wife and I enjoyed. Got kinda weird last season having Wil Arnett start a construction company with Applegate's brother, but still had some lol moments. Oh well, Modern Family + Cougar Town for another year!

    So I ended up caving and bought a 80" Sharp Aquos from Best Buy for $3,300. Last one they had, was the display model, etc so pretty cheap comparatively speaking. Added in the Sonos 5.1 (sorta) system (sound bar, sub, 2 Play-3's mounted in rear). Can't tell you enough how awesome it is. I'll be...

    Buying a car?

    They told me it was pretty gunky, and they aren't the first place to have told me that. I thought "Hey replace brake fluid, can't be more than $40." Little did I know that it came with a $78 labor fee attached, along with the price of fluid.

    Buying a car?

    Here's a breakdown of the bill. Looks like half the cost was labor. $68 each for front and back pads. $50 for rear rotor. $33 for brake fluid. $220 for parts, $376 for labor. Fucking mechanics. They couldn't have worked on it for more than 4-5 hours. Even at 5 hours, that's still $75/hour...

    Buying a car?

    So I had it originally worked on last Tuesday. I gave it until Thursday, still had an extremely soft brake pedal. I called them up and said it wasn't getting any better and wasn't doing this before I brought it in for a simple pad replacement. He said to bring it back in and they would try...

    Buying a car?

    Not sure if this is the right place, but I know we have some mechanics who post here.... Yesterday I got my 2007 Kia Sportage front and rear axle brake pads replaced. At like 97k miles and were starting to squeak. Rear had like 5% left, front 20%. They bled and flushed the brake fluids and...

    Arkk's Weight Lifting / Fitness Thread

    Agree with Seananigans :\ Take a few months off man. Do cardio, lean up, then once you get insurance and checked out, consult with doctor on best way to get back in the gym. Going John Rambo is gonna lead to pain the rest of your life. Not worth it.

    Was a graduating student in 2010 and didn't file. At the advice of an acquaintance, I finally did file back in February. Had about $500 owed to me. Any one have an idea how long it takes the IRS to process 2-3 year old returns?
