    The E-cig Thread

    I had put in another order for the premix stuff and some banana split. Stuff in the shops were never banana enough for me but I way overbought the banana the first time. Now I have about 600ml of stuff made up and I've only used 50ml since getting the first order. It's nuts because in the end...

    Man. I'm just going to say nope. Think about it a minute. Hell even our moon is larger/smaller due to distance and it is "close" orbit. Unless you are just being stupid about it. Of course it is the same size regardless , what we see is not however, which is what I am obviously saying.

    I knew the sun would be smaller, but was amazed how much smaller. I'm wondering now if full daytime is about the same as a hour after sunup. Also didn't know about the color but assumed the blue part after picture. If we do send people to Mars it will take some adapting. Talk about feeling alone...

    Never played Xcom. Yes I know. I like RTS like age of empires and world building survival games. Sometimes although not as much shooters. Yea or nay?

    Ark: Survival Evolved

    Attacks on the base only occur if the angry dinos come close enough to want to eat you or your dinos. In single player mode you are the meat for half the species. You can tame about everything via various methods but obviously knocking out TRex's is tougher than a dung beetle. Some things like...

    I've never had in and out, or 5 guys and I think we even have a 5 guys here but it is in a odd stripstore of all places. I'll never be out west to try it either. I swear these places should offer delivery services. I'd pay the $20 for an overnight burger just to say I had that.

    LG 49" 4K HDR Ultra HD Smart LED TV with App Pack — QVC.com Curious about this deal. It says if sold separately. It is about $100 more than Amazon for the TV but 6 payments. Just curious what they mean as it should come with apps right? I know it comes with a upgraded remote. NM watched the...

    Ark: Survival Evolved

    Not sure about the porting and function on console. I can tell you as far as survival games go it is the most feature complete of any ever made. Thousands of mods on top of a game with over 1000 items you can craft,tame or obtain in a world with multiple maps including random generated that is...

    I found my last hospital stay pretty nice once you get past the whole not breathing part. Food was better than expected and nurses younger than I remembered. I missed the initial post on this, was the tear caused by hernia or what created such a terrible tear?

    Ya, wasn't an issue for us as we have Direct TV but it was nice it included smart 2.0( the new processors for their brand ) for the $180 price point. Of course soon as we bought it Dell ran a special with it for $200 and a $100 Dell GC back making it $100 if you use those. I think Vizio rolls...

    I'm looking at it different than most I guess. The price point to features tells me a lot of the more expensive tech is now available cheaper. It's mostly a collection of chips and products anyways right? Most brands have already set sail for 2017 models. The 32" vizio smart tv we bought for...

    China does take a large cut, however they also do as much and most of the foreign combined in some genres. Basically in the US the studio takes 70-100% the first few weeks then it drops down considerably. The theaters allow this because having thousands come in is massive popcorn/candy/drink...

    The author of that review spoke to TCL directly and they claim it will ship early to mid June. Being it is near mid June, good chance they are already shipping.

    Semi funny story. We had to replace our old flat panel bought in 2006 last month, but while researching the issue it was having I found a Youtube video from 2009 that described the issue perfectly.

    That is what was scaring me. Once I had checked the main things I was left with the worst by far electrical system I've seen. It's just a mess of bundled wires all over the thing and it is all in places you can't get to it despite the fact you can get to the back of the engine easier than the...

    Was a time I would 1000% agree. That time is well past me now. I'd rather not to ever have to open a hood again if I had the choice. Part of that is due to brother and uncle passing away in 2004 and 2007 and the fact we spent many a nights and weekends tearing down cars and engines and part of...

    Ya I didn't replace the wires just checked them out and regreased them. It was the distributor cap and rotor. The insides were oxidized heavy and the button had a weld spot on it. I'm guessing when I put the new ones in and tried cranking it a few times it hadn't cleaned out the old...

    The interesting thing is the fact if almost starts sometimes and if I can get it to fire it goes onward without complaint. Which is why I keep leaning back to timing, and air/fuel. I had a jump box but not charger so I ordered Amazon.com: BLACK+DECKER BM3B 6V and 12V Battery Charger /...
