Was putting a build together for a friend...goddamn RAM prices piss me off so much. Here is what I paid at Newegg the last time I bought RAM a little over 2 years ago Same thing today is $270 G.SKILL Sniper Gaming Series 32GB Desktop Memory Model F3-1866C10Q-32GSR - Newegg.com

You don't need to min/max weapons unless you are playing on the highest difficulty. Play on normal and use whatever you want. I think I had each person in my party specialize in a different type of weapon and I made it through just fine.

Well, I meant 5 years of watching the show, rather than 5 years of show timeline. Just seems so flippant to just completely throw that whole struggle out the window without even much acknowledgement.

Fedora + tan jacket, probably his most common wardrobe combo as Heisenberg

They spend 5 goddamn years wandering around a 50-mile radius in Georgia, can't EVER get any further, and all of a sudden they're going to jump in a car and drive several hundred miles up the coast to virginia like it's no big deal? Fucking hell, dumbest thing I've ever seen in any show, ever...

Damnit, there's only 4 hot chicks on the show and they killed half of them off in the last couple episodes. Do not like.

Low light seems to be the big variance in camera quality. My wife takes TONS of pictures of our kid, often indoors in less than ideal lighting. Her Samsung S3 was decent, then I moved her to a LG G2 and it was terrible, just grainy beyond belief in anything other than direct, bright light. We...

Yeah, a current-gen i5 might increase your gaming performance by 5% at best in some games. I wouldn't do a complete rebuild for that. Just upgrade the video card, that'll be the spot where you can make huge performance gains

Anyone with a OnePlusOne want to comment on the camera quality? That's the one thing that I've been disappointed in the few times I've tried non-Samsung phones (G2 camera sucked, and I haven't liked HTCs either, but I haven't tried the newer H8)

One word: Ticketmaster So they now offer "event insurance" when you checkout. In the past, if an event gets canceled, you get the face value of the ticket refunded but not the service fees, which are usually significant. So I just bought some tickets. $96 face value + $13 service charge...

And obviously, Florida = doorstep to Hell

Making an inside-out grilled cheese with a sandwich press is like using a damn cheat code for invincibility in a game. Half the enjoyment is trying to figure out how to flip a piece of bread that has shredded cheese on top, and not losing it all during the flip. Filthy casuals

Settling in Sinkhole Alley: 'If you live in Florida they're just a fact of life' | World news | The Guardian Florida had so many problems with sinkholes, and the fact that insurance doesn't cover them, that the state itself had to start offering sinkhole insurance

For property coverage? Most homeowners policies in the US are named peril for both structure and personal property, you generally have to specifically schedule property to get all peril coverage(adds mysterious loss, partial loss, and breakage). There's quite a few gaping holes in most...

I'm not a FIOS user, but generally speaking, don't use the wireless that comes with your ISP-provided modem. They're usually the cheapest junk they can buy in bulk. Get a good wireless router of your own.

Matrix Lobby scene is still my go-to scene when testing out any new piece of AV equipment or speaker setup. Just so goddamned great, the visuals, the sound, everything. I can't believe it's been over 15 years since it came out.

I think it came after his first post-season with Tampa Bay. In 2008 he had a postseason ERA of 2.96 in 4 games, so that was pretty decent. After that though, yeah, he's been bad in the postseason. In 2010 with Tampa his era was 10.89 in 2 games, and this past year with the Royals he had an ERA...

If it doesn't look better than streaming from random sites like mmatv or firstrow or whatever, then it's not worth the money, that's for sure. Once I actually pay for a service, I expect good quality.

Yep, get everything moved over to HDMI and see if you are still having issues. Cable/Satellite box outputs to receiver via HDMI, then receiver outputs to TV via HDMI. In your setup, you should just be using your TV like a computer monitor, it's there for picture only, all the sound should be...

I've had multiple people tell me that SlingTV is shit for picture quality, like it won't stream in HD, or if it is HD its a very, very compressed 720p. I haven't seen it firsthand, but I trust the couple friends that have tried it. I hope that's something they're working on. Anyone here...

I am excited as hell for this, even though I know there is almost zero chance I won't be disappointed. Ultima Underworld is one of a handful of monumental games from my childhood/teen years. I had the same sense of awe the first time I played that game as the first time I saw Super Mario...

Trying out a Glacial Cascade build, really liking it so far. It basically acts like a harder-hitting freeze pulse, with a slightly shorter range but the damage doesn't decrease at range either, so that's a plus. All of the build templates that I see online use a Carcass Jack and unique...

James Shields reaches deal with San Diego Padres - ESPN Sorry to see Big Game James go, he did a hell of a lot for the Royals the past couple years, but he's past his prime. He still wanted Ace money, and he's not an Ace anymore. He struggled a lot in the 2nd half of the season and the...

Its the dude that started the thread

I will drink the shit out of some Summer Shandy on a hot summer day. While it's far from being a great beer, it's in another league compared to bud light lime, or Ultra 64, or whatever typical light beer people drink during the summer when outside in the heat.

I ran a fairly hardcore raiding guild in WoW back in the days of Vanilla/Burning Crusade. We had multiple sets of husbands and wives that played together, but one took the award for most dedicated raiders. The lady had been pregnant for a long time and was nearing her due date, this was...

I'm not sure I've ever eaten White Castle while sober. It is the Waffle House of burger joints. Sober=meh. Drunk=amazing.

Gore reminds me a lot of Curtis Martin and Fred Taylor. Not necessarily in running styles, but in the trajectory of their careers. You never heard any of their names mentioned as one of the top RBs in the league at any given point, but year after year they just keep collecting 1000 yards...

Congrats Florida!

Ms Vicky's Jalapeno chips are solid as well. My favorite potato chip of all time though is Art & Mary's Jalapeno chip, but my god they're expensive. Like $5-$6 for a bag that's 1/3 full at best

Some games just handle it better than others. *Most* big-budget games anymore are made with high-resolutions and multi-screens in mind, and the UIs scale appropriately. A few don't(Path of Exile. I'm looking at you)

On the flip side, if you weren't denied for that, you probably would have been denied because most standard homeowners policies don't cover property that you just "lose". There has to be a covered peril there, a fire, a theft, vandalism, etc. Usually just losing something (or breakage)is only...

Hah, he does interact with a few neighbor kids once in a while, and his nearby cousins who are 5 and 8, but he doesn't go to daycare or anything yet, he stays with grandma every day, so that's the big difference maker right there. This might have been the first time he was around 5+ kids near...

I expected that to be something like 650 pages long when I clicked on it. Was pleasantly surprised at how concise and to-the-point it is.

And then vacating wins and going on probation?

Yeah, when I first got my 1440p, I had two 1200p monitors at that point. The plan was to still stay with just 2 monitors(one of the 1200s was starting to fail, needed to be replaced), but I tried out 3 just for the hell of it, I put my 1440 in the middle of the two 1200ps for a couple days...

Might want to re-check those numbers 34" LG Ultra-wide dimensions: 32.7" x 18.5" 27" LG IPS LED dimensions: 25.3" x 19.1" the difference between 32.7" and 25.2" wide is 29%. The difference between 1920 horizontal pixels(regular monitor) and 2560 pixels(ultrawide) is 33% 34" Ultra-wide...

Oh hell, our kid was born 10 weeks early due to preeclampsia, I'm forwarding this to my wife ASAP

A lot of these kids can't afford the 5-10 grand that tuition + room & board costs for 1 semester, until they can get on scholarship I'm sure out-of-state tuition at Louisville isn't overly cheap

I don't mind the idea of ultrawide, they just seem REALLY overpriced for what you get. Take a $250 monitor, increase it in size by 33%, charge 250% more. Doesn't seem quite right.
