Meh, it's just about risk vs reward. Nobody cares about giving up hotdogs or lunch meat for a few months, who here loves those 2 things SO much that they just have to have them constantly or their quality of life will drastically suffer? Now, if you tell me that playing video games is...

As much as I hate Infante at the moment, I can't say a whole lot because Gordon is even worse. Gordon can't be anywhere close to 100%, but then again he also had a lot of horrible, horrible at-bats in the postseason last year when he was supposedly fairly healthy. He's a strikeout machine, he...

Even if the odds are .1%, why take the risk? My wife stopped eating lunch/deli meat completely while she was pregnant, as well as predatory fish (shark, swordfish, mackerel, tuna). Odds aren't great that they would cause any problems, but why risk it? It's not like we're eskimos and that is...

Spicy Jalapeno Chicken Sandwich from Wendys is quite good. Just had it for the first time. It's basically just a spicy chicken with a spicy cheese sauce + onions on it, but all of those things are awesome, so there's nothing wrong with that. Ghost pepper fries were solid too, not really...

That's another thing... I work in an insurance office, so we mail out TONS of proof of insurance cards, seems like most people never open their mail so they don't get their proof of insurance when our corporate office mails them out every 6 months, they call us when they need one and we print...

No worse than eating Vienna Sausages out of the can, with that weird, gelatinous slime that they are packed in.

Sprint is running a fairly decent deal at the moment if you switch from another carrier They pay off your current contract, and then you get unlimited everything (data & talk) for $80 a month, plus a completely free new phone every year. Right now they are offering the Samsung S6 for free to...

Goddamnit, time for the Royals to start retaliating for being hit constantly by pitchers Alex Rios Fractures Left Hand MLB Trade Rumors Royals have been HBP 12 times in 7 games so far. Not all intentional, but you don't get hit that many times without some of them being intentional. The...

I particularly enjoyed this series of events in the 8th inning of the Royals Vs Twins last night: So basically, pitcher walks a batter, coach brings in new pitcher. Pitcher hits batter, coach brings in new pitcher. new pitcher hits ANOTHER batter. Next hitter hits a ground ball to short, SS...

Meh, hotdogs are fully cooked when you buy them, there's nothing raw in them at all. It's not like getting raw bratwurst or something. My brother-in-laws kids LOVE cold hotdogs, they eat them as an after school snack straight from the fridge. Grosses me out a bit, mainly just from imagining...

I would say to make sure the mower you get is a mulching mower, but it seems like they pretty much all are anymore. Bagging is dumb, mulch that shit up and let it drop on the lawn to reabsorb the nutrients. Mulching mowers are damn nice for dealing with leaves in the fall too. I'd much rather...

Read this article, and run the stress tests that they recommend (memtest for RAM, prime95 for CPU, uningine for GPU), to make sure your build is truly stable, even when pushed to its limits. They're all completely free downloads Keep it stable, stupid! How to stress-test your PC hardware |...

It wraps all the way around the house, 360 degrees, and is about 10-15 feet wide at every point, and on the back of the house(facing the lake) is 2 levels. Theres more wood in the deck than was used in the entirety of the 2000-sq foot home. The deck is ridiculous(but damn fun to party on)...

I guarantee his wife will want it stained. Try to talk her out of it

I'd plan on power washing one weekend, and staining/sealing the next. And obviously don't stain/water seal if it just rained yesterday. I'd say a good couple days to dry out. Maybe only 1 if it's REALLY sunny and hot, but probably a couple to be safe if you live somewhere were it isn't 90...

Definitely power wash first, before you stain. Then at that point you have to decide what kind of stain/water seal combo you want to do. The staining will keep the boards from greying, but stain alone doesn't offer quite as much protection as water seal does. And you'd probably need to...

So, up until a couple years ago at my office, if you needed to print an envelope to mail something to someone, you just brought up their account, right-clicked on their name, clicked on "envelope" and an envelope spat out of the printer with their name and address printed on it. Easy enough...

And a bit of (somewhat)interesting trivia Royals rookie Paulo Orlando became the first player since triples started being recorded as a statistic in 1914 to get a triple as his first 3 major-league hits. He's 3 for 8 in 2 games, with 3 triples. Paulo Orlando Stats, News, Pictures, Bio...

Mets with a great battery

I've never tried any of them, but there's supposedly some home remedies for making a mirror fogless(temporarily) like spraying WD-40 on it and letting it dry(will stay fogless for a few weeks). I just fill mine with warm water when I'm in the shower though, no biggie. My shower head reaches...

I guess it doesn't count since it's never been announced, but we've been waiting for Half Life 3 for over a decade now, 2 came out in '04. Half Life 2 - 10 years and 6 months ago(November 2004) 10,000 Days - 9 years ago exactly(April 2006) I can't believe the last tool album is damn near...

I had to do that when we moved into our house. We have woods behind our home and it was overgrown all the way up to, and over or back fence. Spent a lot of time clearing brush and trees back about 10 feet from our fence. It sucked. My wife got poison ivy real bad. Luckily now that is all...

Love my Aeron, I've had it for 2 years now. Got lucky and found a "C" model(large one) on Craigslist for about $250, was brand new still in the plastic. 99% sure it was stolen, but I didn't care. Added a ridiculously expensive headrest attachment to it and it might be more comfortable than my...

The main difference between the two is the material. The Steelcase is a traditional, high-quality cushioned back & seat while the Aeron is a mesh-type material. I like the Aeron & the mesh because it seems to stay cooler when sitting on it for hours, but I can definitely see where a lot of...

PM me your email address, I have 3 IPT invites at the moment

And Half Life 3

So, the Royals are 2nd in the league in Runs, HR, Slugging, Average, and OPS...behind Detroit who is also in our division. That sucks. Both teams are 5-0 and already are 3 games up on 2nd place, the AL Central might end up being only a 2 horse race this year. Both teams are also like top 5 in...

Plus they are basically crapass standard-def quality. Gotta watch it in HD.

Yeah it came with 6 18-inch rebar anchors that I had to hammer into the ground. That + the added weight of the treated lumber platform/floor that I built to set it on, and that damn thing is never moving, short of a direct hit from a tornado(which will also suck if we ever move, no way I'll try...

But he did mention it would by used for gaming, not just media playback. I wouldnt go too cheap on the processor or there's a good chance it'll be bottlenecking him a couple years down the road. Games aren't going to only run on one core forever, I expect that to change over the next couple years.

Well, it's finally done. Took a total of 3 days(22-ish hours) to complete, with sporadic help from wife/parents. That sucked, never doing that again. That 2nd story floor is about 4.5 ft off the ground, and the top peak of the roof is a little over 10 feet up. That swingset beam is...

I probably shouldn't say this, because it's going to curse me, but our kid will be 2 in a few weeks, and I have yet to be peed or pooped on, and neither has my wife. We've been damn lucky so far, but we also do diaper changes FAST...no lollygagging around when the diaper is off, new one goes...

Agreed, Drop $100 off of your video card budget and get a 960, and put that $100 into a better processor, like a i5 4670k. Regardless of whether you get a 960 or a 970 now, either will have to be replaced in under 2 years to stay up to par in new games, but you REALLY don't want to have to do...

Their smoothies are also pretty damn good for like $2

A lot of people in China did... $20,000 gold Apple Watch Edition sold out in China in less than an hour

This infuriates me. I work in an insurance office, and you wouldn't believe the amount of times people have called to say "Oh, I can't pay my home/car insurance this month, we just got back from vacation" Some people think going on vacation is a god-given right and will completely neglect...

Obviously it shows that the better you are, the more focused your recruiting is and the less scholarships you have to offer, as a higher % gets accepted. If you're Kentucky, you have to throw out 300 offers in the hopes that 20 stick. Bama can get their 25-30 on 1/3 as many offers. It's...

I'm always tempted to go to an office supply store and have about 100 of these made to carry in my car

Wasn't quite sure where to post this, but Dropbox made a pretty nice free update recently Dropbox launches integration with Microsoft Office Online | Dropbox Blog Pretty nice little feature. Sure, there's already free options like OpenOffice, but not having to install ANYTHING, and still...

Tennessee going with the "offer everyone a scholarship, and hope that a few take us up on it" approach
