    That's when you email them back with a copy of the reminders and procedures along with a simple note: "No".

    They are faster than real cars. But, there are dozens of classes that people compete in. Its not just a big free-for-all. Not sure I'd choose to race up the Peak seeing as there are still no guard rails and cars still go flying off into the abyss.

    Was negotiating for a car and someone bought it this morning, hours before I was able to close. It was nearly perfect. Little deflated right now.

    If you intend to stay there for a long time, then building the house you want will be a better choice. We're doing the same cost/benefit analysis right now and looking at architects and builders.

    I've simply stopped using (or will not use) any site that does that. Fuck 'em.

    My wife thinks I'm nuts for doing it, but that is why I don't have auto-pay on anything. Every company has fucked with rates and played those games. If I had auto-pay I wouldn't see it for 6-12 months.

    On the advice of folks here I got an Amplifi system a month ago and its been great. I finally have a strong signal anywhere in the house and outside.

    Faces are always tough. Some deep ink washes will help a lot too in creating contrast in the armor.

    Yup. At the end of the day, you have to enjoy who you are and who you are with. Sounds lame, but true.

    Uh...corporate decisions BASED on public outcry, fears of bad PR, and company values falling as a result. They are 100% correlated.

    Thanks for the insight, H.Y. I haven't priced out a build that I'd be interested in doing, but I did find a pre-built that looked good (though still without a mega GFX card) for $2,800. MSI MEG Trident X Review: Mighty and Slim Not cheap, but I have seen some for double that. Still, it feels...

    Here comes an "I'm getting old" moment: I've always built my PCs, whether for work or gaming. But, I'm at the point now where I'm wondering if I can get the same sort of specs in a pre-built machine, or if the prices of those are still retarded compared to building myself. Does anyone here just...

    I got the AmpliFi Mesh Wi-Fi System. Its idiot-proof and does exactly what I needed, which is move the signal from the top left of the house to the bottom right, through tons of walls. It might not be the most efficient for gamers or large families, but for us its perfect.

    Got one of the Ubiquiti systems and using my own modem. It's silly how much better it is than the Xfinity hardware. Thanks for the recommendations.

    I remember reading the warning label on a chainsaw I had about 20 years ago. It said a bunch of things to not do and then capped it off with "...do not attempt to stop blade with genitals". You know they had to put that on there because someone tried.

    @Gankak That's cool. That would definitely add some dynamic interest to the hull. @Hateyou You're right, just have to give it a try! It does look awesome.

    Commercials on YouTube. First off, there are 6 to 8 in a 20 minute clip. Secondly, they are THREE TIMES LOUDER than whatever it is I'm watching. Bastards.

    Kill them. Yes, I read everything you wrote. Kill them. **It's worth mentioning: almost all birds are federally protected. If you can catch them in the act, hit them with a hose or pressure washer. It will take a bunch of sprays, but they will move on.

    I don't eat much other sugar. I know the values and I consume about 1/5th what the regular person does per day/year. Natural sugars from some berries is not even remotely the same as corn syrup or processed sugar. Agree with you that the food pyramid we all grew up with is bogus. Our diet is...

    We make smoothies somewhat frequently simply because they're tasty and healthy. Frozen mixed berries (we get a big bag from Costco), plain Greek yogurt, bit of milk or fruit juice, banana, and a scoop of protein powder (we just get vanilla). The frozen berries give it the perfect texture...

    Hell of a deal. But even if I got a 0% interest rate, I'd leave CA. and at best rent the place out. Sometimes HOAs in townhouses, sometimes not. I never liked shared walls. You might be limited on what changes you can make, according to the association (if there is one) because they want...

    I know everything about summer or competition tires, but nothing about all-season. All I can suggest is to avoid run flat tires if you want more comfort and more performance. Many businesses will warranty new tires if you get a set, which will replace one within 30,000, for instance, if there is...

    This is why: "American cheese—the kind you get in the individual plastic wrappers—is processed cheese or “cheese food,” meaning it's not actually real cheese. ... In short, Kraft Singles are made with less than 51% actual cheese, so it can't legally be called "cheese."
