A lot of it is because of internet speeds. I used to be a media horder, I'd download every single movie, TV show, and music album that I thought I might ever remotely have any interest in. Mainly because 10 years ago I was limited to 5Mbps, then eventually 10Mbps downloads, and if I decided I...

Generally, refurb means it was a defective return(DOA usually), fixed, thoroughly retested (usually more stringently than new hardware) and now resold. Reconditioned means its used, but factory reset and probably tested. I always prefer refurb to reconditioned. Reconditioned may have some...

Japanese ninjas didn't disappear, they just became sushi chefs

I have an original Note tablet(2012 I think?) that I snagged as a refurb for $150 about a year ago and it has been great so far. I don't use the stylus whatsoever, but its a solid tablet even without a need for that feature.(I dont use the stylus at all on my Note 3 phone either)

The Note has the little stylus pen for handwriting/drawing on the tablet. The Galaxy Tabs are just a normal tablet. Only real difference

I would have walked out on that after the interaction with the waiter/drink situation. People who belittle servers are always wastes of human space. It's an instant sign that they are arrogant assholes.

Depending on how your garden is set up, you might not have to get rid of any old soil. The dirt around here is VERY hard and full of clay as well. When we started our garden, instead of just marking off a large section of yard and tilling it up, I built a box around it with 2x10s, so that way...

If you have to add extra salt to a fast food burger, you definitely have a problem.

The bad thing is, you used to be able to fulfill all 3 criteria by cooking at home rather than going out, but even that isn't really cheap anymore.

I was thinking about this the other day. I'm big into music, and going to concerts and as a kid in the 80s and going to highschool/college in the 90s I still often listen to hair metal, grunge, and that kind of stuff. My kid is only 1 year old right now, eventually when I expose him to that...

I kinda miss the days when consoles had their own games, and PC had their own unique games, and it was worth owning all of them because they offered completely different experiences. You didn't see any Super Nintendo or Genesis games on a PC at the time, and you certainly didn't see things...

Also just marathoned through both season. I feel like season 2 had a missing episode or something towards the end. Episode 9 ends with Kira captured out of the hospital and put in that little girls room at Dyad. Then the last shot of the episode is Sarah leaving to go get her back. Then the...

KB toys always made me claustrophobic. They always felt like they had 1/4 the toys of a Toys R Us in 1/20 the physical space. Aisles were always stacked to the ceiling with toys, just toys piled upon toys piled upon toys(especially around Christmas). If there were an earthquake while you were...

People want healthy, filling, and cheap. In reality, choose 2 of the 3.

Well, there's "he's going to have to spend 90 days in prison" excitement, and "surprised me with flowers and a romantic dinner after a long day at work" excitement. I'm definitely more likely to do the latter, nor the former.

Yep, every girl that complains about not being able to find a "nice guy" actually knows many of them but can't see past the "not exciting/dangerous" factor to give any of them a chance. Believe me, I've been there, I've often been the "nice guy". It sucks.

I use our apple corer/slicer to make french fries, just like this(I generally throw away the core/center part, then the rest of the fries are pretty uniform and cook evenly)

I slice onions and most vegetables like the first example here: Knife Skills: The 4 Knife Cuts Every Cook Should Know | Serious Eats

I dated two girls at once for approximately 2 weeks, and I hated it. Got set up by 2 different friends(that don't even know each other) with a new girl just 1 day apart. Met one on a Friday night, the other on a Saturday. Liked them both a lot. Went out with each again during the next week...

Not too far off, I'm 5 years older than you. So like me, I'm sure you've seen plenty of examples of friends having kids for the past decade or so, and hopefully I've picked up a few good examples of do's and donts from the ones I felt like ended up being good parents with well adjusted kids...

Step 1, never take the tip of your knife off of the cutting board

I feel like one of the biggest areas that most cooks can improve is salting/seasoning food properly during the cooking process. My mom cooks in a way in which she doesn't salt ANYTHING, she thinks "salt is bad for you" and "people can add their own salt and pepper". Well, that doesn't work...

Kids on leashes, schools with armed security guards and metal detectors, daycares with multiple secured doors only accessable by being buzzed through via intercom, etc. Everything related to kids nowadays is like secret-service levels of security and distrust, and that's the norm for kids, it's...

Season can't get here fast enough

I get what McCheese is saying. Yeah, all that works out well in theory, but in real life you end up throwing away half the cream because you can't use it all before it goes bad, as well as probably some of the parmesan cheese, unless you're eating Alfredo sauce/Italian food multiple times a...

Found this on Reddit and thought it was interesting. Every pregnant woman in Finland gets a "maternity box" free from the government Maternity box - Imgur

Nope, no rice allergies. Has to be something odd like the "beechwood aging" that was mentioned, or maybe the specific strain of hops that they use or something(that maybe no one else uses) There's some weird allergies in my family, my dad and his twin are both terribly allergic to chocolate...

Bah, I put garlic and onions in EVERYTHING. Love em.

Then I guess the question becomes, do you have a rig that can push 1440p graphics into the 100+ FPS range on average to make it worthwhile? I wish I did...

Both Arrowhead(Chiefs) and Kauffman Stadium(Royals) are just situated in the middle of a massive parking-lot complex, right off the highway out in a low-income suburb of KC(Independence, MO, affectionately known off and on as the Meth capitol of Missouri, if not the whole US). There is...

Several members of my family are badly allergic to Budweiser products. If they drink bud or bud light they break out in hives/rashes. No other beer does this. Not sure what Budweiser does differently than every other beer brewer on Earth.

The Newmans Own brand Roasted Garlic Alfredo sauce is damn, damn good. Better than you'll get in some Italian restaurants. That stuff is pure crack. I usually sautee some extra garlic and onions to add to it. It's great.

I'm seeing mention on a few different sites in reference to that error code 43 that people were able to remedy it by flashing their BIOS, driver reinstalls/wipes never helped. If nothing else, that should definitely confirm whether or not it's a hardware or software issue, if you still get...

That seems really odd that he would build that monstrosity in a "normal" neighborhood. That's going to really hurt the value of his home someday when he goes to sell. Of course, being a young millionaire athlete I'm sure he isn't really looking at the long term, big picture of his financial...

What does that look like outside of her mouth? Bumps? Rash? Our kid has been unusually fussy the last day or two, and he has some bumps on his neck/face but we chalked it up to chigger bites as he was playing out in the yard a lot last weekend and mom has some chigger bites too(they rarely...

I'm a fatty and have a wide foot, I can't wear Nikes, they are too thin. As a teen/20s when I was actually active and playing sports I always went Reebok, they are made a little wider by default. Now that I'm a middle-aged tub that doesn't play any sports any more, I just buy New Balance...

If your knives were worth a damn, you'd be slicing right through those paper plates

And with that $300 he saves now, that will buy a card that he'll need in 2 years regardless of if he goes 290 or 780ti, that is better than either of those cards. I think that's the main point in not spending $700 on a video card now. That card won't last 4-5 years to make that price...

Man I dont know, roundup definitely isn't going to take out a full grown tree or anything, but I threw a bunch on a ton of brush behind our fenceline(woods behind us) and it's scorched earth back there, took out many plants/weeds that were 3-4 feet tall, they were definitely well established. I...
