    Real benefits of using your own modem vs ISP provided combo router/modem?

    Comcast is now doing this. Caused an issue with the wife's Mom's local wifi network. I got her to switch away from Comcast. Problem solved (in more ways than one).

    Supermarkets usually get their meat in as primals that they butcher themselves. So if you don't see a particularly style of cut out, feel free to ask and they can do it for you. I buy a lot of unusual cuts. Sometimes they'll tell you they can't do it today (either they cut up everything that...

    Ravvenn is the Megan Fox of Hooking

    Well... I mean, if I was more surprised it'd be different. But I grew up around a lot of gold diggers and she always, always acted just like them. Whoring is what failed gold diggers who have burned all their bridges usually resort to (or stripping, but it usually ends in the same place)...

    Shaman is always good at the higher ranks, because it matches up well vs Druid and Handlock, which start to show up pretty consistently around rank 5.

    I ripped out over 500ft of phone line when I moved in. The previous owner was an agoraphobic who worked from home and had since like '93. So of course his internet for years was like 6 phone lines multiplexed together. And he wired it himself, by running it around the house outside. Looked...

    Hearthstone

    You only get golden versions of cards past level 10. If you get every class to 10, you've unlocked every basic card. I think a 100% basic cards deck could get to legend, it'd just be incredibly time consuming. I don't know, Amaz doing a f2p Priest is impressive as hell even if it took him 36...

    Surface area+moisture content+sugar. Sugar really doesn't like to give up water, a lot of fruit you don't want to break down to much which increases your surface area, and it has a lot more moisture to get rid of than meat does. Particularly as you've frozen the meat then let it partially thaw...

    Yeah, they all streamed it live on their Twitch accounts. Amaz did Priest, Reynad has done Rogue and Warrior, Trump has done Mage, Warlock, and Shaman. Not sure if it is on their highlights or you just have to go dig for it. Googling it would probably give you some leads. @Column: Um, yeah...

    It takes like 8 hours for jerky, a lot less for herbs. I put it in my covered porch for the duration.

    Amazon. @Vitality: All commercial dehydrators have this issue and cooking the food is basically never desirable. Which is another reason I prefer the box fan. Not sure what you'd ever worry about it. If you're making cured meat, and if you're drying it out that is what you're making, the...

    Hearthstone

    It just comes down to knowing the game, which takes time. You could easily streak to rank 12/13 with a free Mage deck if you knew what you were doing. You could get legendary with a free Mage deck, even (and people have). But you need to learn the deck, the meta, mulligan strategies, etc. Takes...

    I bought some NSF certified dehydrator trays and use those between the filters. No food actually touches the filters, so yeah, I just use them over and over. I tried just the trays but there was slippage and parts of the drying got uneven. They still look brand new. I mean a "good" food...

    I really encourage people to do the box fan thing. Total investment is really minimal. Easily one of the best AB ideas.

    I love dehydrating food, but I just use the Alton Brown method. Big box fan+furnace filters+food safe trays+bungee cords.

    Warlock: Pretty basic handlock deck. I don't have Alex or Jaraxuss because of all the fast decks I see on ladder. I was considering modifying it to include the Sunwalkers, etc., that seem to be prevalent lately but I thought it'd be better to play a list I had more experience with...

    This is why I love being a dancer. I've experienced the "move to a new place, know no one" almost a dozen times in my life and not having any friends lasted about a week. Dance communities are super friendly, have a wide array of types of people, and are pretty much instantly welcoming. For...

    There have been multiple discussions about this in the Cooking thread from people who have kids and I don't, but there have been a number of studies on the way we form tastes and a lot of it basically psychological and experience, if we have to keep eating something we'll start liking it. So...

    ^That. Though I still factor in availability... there are some things I had a hard time finding and know they won't be easy to find again if I delete them. Or things that are super small (every pre-CD game in existence takes up so little space that it is more than worth it to me).

    No, it is far easier for girls to have multiple guys on a string (and they do). They rarely admit it. That is the key difference. There have even been several studies done about the "dating" culture and the lack of monogamous relationship in colleges. The conclusion? Girls like having multiple...

    Um, I get a larger shirt so the sleeves are long enough, then get it taken in. They don't make the sleeves longer. And a good tailor can do alterations well enough you'll never notice, because they tailor it specifically toyourframe and silhouette. Granted you need to find a good...

    If you look up a local tailor/seamstress, they do alterations on shirts that make them feel custom fit for like $10. So take any ~$40 shirt of great material that you can find at Nordstrom Rack, Men's Warehouse (some great sales here), etc., add $10 to the purchase price, and you have a custom...
