    Home buying thread

    That is exactly the strategy that my wife and I are going with. 30 year loan, and we make enough extra payments that it could be paid off in ~18 or so years from what we figure. But last fall my wife quit her job and was out of work for 4 months. Was nice to be able to scale that back to the...

    I think a lot of my apathy for the upcoming season of GoT is for a few reasons A lot of my enjoyment of the first several seasons was from having read the books many times, trying to imagine how they were going to visualize different key events and people, and then gauging my friends...

    Seriously, how do they get top billing? They recently played a 1000-seat Casino theater here and didn't sell it out. I think their lead singer left to front Stone Temple Pilots(which is a horrible combo in its own right)

    First World Problems

    I have 2 basic routes to work, one takes 10 minutes. The other takes 20 but takes me right past Starbucks, Panera, and Mcdonalds. My drive to work takes me 30 minutes each day because im a lazy POS that eats fast food breakfast way too much.

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I kinda just asssumed that people stopped buying emachine PCs somewhere around 2007. Having one of those in 2015 might be worse than having an @aol email address in 2015

    You're definitely not going to get fair calls from B12 refs when playing @ kansas, especially in OT. The league has to protect the sacred cow. The Big 12 as a league cares about 2 things, and 2 things only. Texas football and kansas basketball.

    Twix is a god-tier candy bar. Doesn't get better than that. A couple may be as good, but none outright better.

    Bendable/flexible OLEDs are definitely around, but I don't know how extremely they can be bent. I'm assuming they have to stop well before being folded completely in half. You never see a picture of one that's bent much further than "U"-shaped

    College Basketball 2014-2015

    I'm not going to claim that it's really even close, but Missouri does have the distinction of accounting for over 10% of all the losses in the history of kansas basketball. 95 of their 812 losses. kansas win % vs Mizzou = 64% kansas win % vs the rest of the NCAA = 73% kansas's lowest...

    lurkingdirk, what does your pediatrician have to say about your sons size/weight? That seems almost frighteningly small for a 7 year old. My 21 month old weighs about 27 lbs(He's like 80th percentile for height, 60th for weight for his age). I can't even fathom him only gaining ~10 lbs over...

    While I do love to see Oklahoma lose, at anything possible, they were the best chance of keeping kansas from repeating as B12 champs, so I'm a little torn with my emotions here. I feel like I'm trying to decide between Sandusky and Hitler here.

    Yeah, I haven't done any research on Gsync, so I'm clueless as to what the huge advantage is, and if there's a "sweet spot" or a minimum for effective performance.

    Cities: Skylines

    I'm still sworn off of ever giving EA another cent because of the Sim City debacle. Been keeping it up so far, haven't bought a single EA game since then. How long ago was that now, 2 years? This game looks great, can't wait to try it out.

    Are there significant benefits to a 144hz Gsync monitor if your setup can't put out 144FPS in the games you play? That's a pretty lofty framerate for new games on ultra settings. Sure, you can hit that at peak numbers, but to average that is quite difficult without $1000 worth of video cards...

    I think that's pretty straightforward. All "braketology" is done assuming the season ended today. That's unrealistic and that's why Georgia is in right now. Come selection Sunday they won't be, which is what I've been saying all along. Don't pretend that you even care about basketball, no...

    Meh, it's going to be really close by the time the season is over. Georgia, LSU, and Ole Miss are all tied for 4th in the SEC, but Georgia still has 1 more game against Kentucky left, so theres a 99% chance at a loss. LSU still has to play @Arkansas, so that's probably a loss as well. So...

    5G researchers manage record 1Tbps wireless connection speed

    I've always heard that, but then why does AM radio completely cut out in tunnels and underpass, much worse than FM? I know AM had some crazy range though, I used to be able to get some am stations out of Chicago here in Kansas City on a clear night as a kid. FM seems to crap out about 100...

    Not unless you guys win a few games in a row and get to the SEC tournament championship game. You're going to have to get to about 22 or 23 wins to get in. Mediocre teams from average basketball conferences don't make the cut. A 20-10ish team with a tougher schedule from a tougher conference...

    and AM radio, that shit uses like half of the available 300khz - 3mhz spectrum I know absolutely nothing about any of this, but for someone who does, does the amount of information that is able to be sent over equal time periods increase at each tier? I.E. can a broadcast at 30MHZ send the...

    $140 a month for one phone is crazy. You need to shop around, that grandfathered one isn't doing you any favors. I pay $220 a month for unlimited everything on 4 phones with sprint, and thats a grandfathered plan that still gets me subsidized phones as well. $55 per line. Just glancing at...

    We didn't go too crazy with baby proofing. About all we did was put a lock on the drawer in the kitchen that has all the knives in it, and then remove any decorations that were made of glass from our coffee tables/endtables, and that was really about it. You just have to be diligent about...

    5G researchers manage record 1Tbps wireless connection speed

    Yeah, the best part of moving forward with these types of technologies, and fiber in your home as well, is that data caps will have to disappear. You can't realistically try to data cap gigabit/terabit speeds. Just like AT&T limiting it's gigabit service to 1TB download per month. A person...
