    Sweet. I got exactly what you described, the kind where you freeze the bowl ahead of time (and I got an extra bowl). Thanks for the good info, now the damn thing needs to hurry up and get here.

    Theres no pair of jeans that I will ever wear for the amount of hours I spend in my computer chair. I wear jeans like once or twice a week, and only in the fall/winter.

    I do like stouts quite a bit, but I'm always a little leery of chocolate stouts or coffee stouts. There's a lot of really mediocre ones out there. I rarely think to myself that a chocolate/coffee stout is better than if it just would have been a plain stout.

    Craigslist man. I bought my Herman Miller Aeron chair for $300(and it's even the "C" model with the bigger wheels and weight limit for fatties), and it was still brand new in the packaging. It'll probably last 10+ years and its easily the most comfortable chair I've ever owned. It's also a...

    Computer Chairs

    The only piece of furniture in my home that I spend more time on/in is my bed. It's worth it to splurge on a good chair when you're sitting in it for like 2-6 hours a day, depending on the day. A good computer chair is more important to me than a couch.

    Rerolled "Best Game of 2014"

    I'm with you there. I didn't really care for Divinity, played it for a few hours but I just couldn't get into it, it didn't hook me and make me want to keep playing for whatever reason. I also had to force myself to finish off Witcher 2 as well, I kinda lost interest in it about halfway...

    I like the celery just for the texture, it's nice to have that crunch when everything else is soft and squishy, but I do tend to leave out the grapes more often than not. I certainly don't go out of my way to go buy grapes if I don't have any, I only use them if there happens to be some in the...

    I basically use this one I do add the dash of cayenne pepper as mentioned in the instructions, and I generally omit the almonds(I hate almonds) and I also add a bit of fresh garlic to the chicken salad(mixed into the mayo/sour cream step), I also add 1 spoonful of dijon mustard. That's...

    I think some are, not all. If I remember right, the wording on the packaging says something like "at least 4 lbs" or something of that sort, but some are clearly larger than others. Some barely fit in the packaging. Regardless, they're bigass chickens for $5. I make the best chicken salad on...

    Basically an item that a store willingly takes a small loss on(or breaks even at best), just to generate traffic into the store in the hopes that customers will buy other stuff. Best Buy used to use music CDs as loss leaders, they made zero profit off of their cheap-ass CDs. They were selling...

    Agree with all of that. The PCIE 2.0 vs 3.0 really makes zero difference right now, with any video card at any resolution. But, in theory, it *could* make a difference in the future. I don't see that changing significantly in the next couple years though. By the time 3.0 matters, you'd...

    Costco sells badass Rotisserie chickens for $4.99. And they are always 5+ lbs. Just huge. We buy one or two every time we go. Pretty sure they just sell them as a loss leader since they are all the way at the back of the store.

    Still a decent card but Wuwei is right. You would see a bigger performance gain spending $300 on a 970 video card than $300 on a new CPU/mobo. Very few games are effected significantly by the CPU. Upgrading from the oldest gen i7 to the newest gen i7 would probably be single digit percentage...

    Even if you take 3 months off, the baby is sleeping for 16-20 hours a day at 0-3 months of age. There really isn't much bonding time to be had. Not saying you shouldn't try, but don't feel like you're missing the most important 3 months of your childs life or something. Our newborn would...
