    Car Insurance

    They do, my company for instance has 3 mileage "tiers" that we can set a policy at. Over 7500 miles per year, under 7500 miles per year, and a "retired/no commuting/pleasure" level at the lowest. However, you may not necessarily be at the highest mileage, sometimes agents may arbitrarily...

    The Fast Food Thread

    Old people flat-out can't use them. I stood behind a grandma-looking lady once for like 5 minutes and she couldn't get anything right. I finally just asked her what she wanted, she just wanted regular coke, and filled the cup up for her. The touch screens are a little wonky, since they have a...

    AVG free is fine. Pair that up with a decent spyware program like Malwarebytes and you should be well protected from most things. Also, go here and snag everything you need for a new PC, and it all auto-installs with zero effort on your part Ninite - Install or Update Multiple Apps at Once...

    I bought 4 of these to throw on my H100i to cool the radiator Enermax T.B.SILENCE 120MM Blue LED Twister Case Fan - Newegg.com They're really quiet, and if you have the room in your case to actually use 4(2 on each side of the radiator), you never have to run them anywhere close to 100% RPM...

    Speaking of that, the new-ish invention of the Coke Freestyle machines are the greatest fast food invention of the past decade. Grape-Cherry Fanta is my go-to flavor combo at the moment.

    Car Insurance

    A lot of it is the zip code that you live in. I've always heard that here in Missouri we have fairly reasonable insurance rates to begin with, but just in Kansas City, the pricing going from inner-city to the furthest outlying suburb can easily cut a rate by 3/4 or more. Just working up a...

    That's pretty nice. I didn't catch which cooler you went with, but I've had an H100i on my 3570K for about 18 months now and I love it. Super quiet(I did replace the stock radiator fans with quieter fans, but I use 4 instead of just 2, in a push/pull config on both sides of the radiator). I...

    Just watched both seasons of this show over the past couple weeks. This show is great, and unfortunately will never get it's deserved viewership since it is on Cinemax(I didn't even know that Cinemax had original series) Highly recommend to anyone who likes action, tits, great dialogue...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm not going to pretend to be some grand master on the subject, since I've only been married a little over 2 years now, but I waited until later in life(not for lack of trying though) to get married. I was 34 and my wife was 36 when we married a couple years ago, and things couldn't be better...

    MLB 2014 Season Thread

    The Royals fit that bill perfectly. Our "Big hitting 3B" Mike Moustakas is batting about .170 on the season, we need a replacement badly. The Royals will probably trade James Shields, our #1 pitcher before this year is over, as we won't be able to re-sign him when he his free agency.

    The old Wendys fries were the absolute best fry on Earth if you got to them within 2 minutes of being cooked. Outside of that window they turned to mushy dogshit. But man, if you got fresh fries, it didn't get any better than that. And while the new style Wendys fries are nowhere near the...

    Insurance

    Yeah, my company requires a minimum $20,000 personal property coverage on renters policies, but they are so damn cheap it really doesn't matter. Around my city, depending on zip code, you're generally looking at $150-$200 per year for that minimum coverage(further out in the country can creep...

    Nice build, I really like that square-ish case rather than the traditional tall, rectangular cases that are more the norm. All a case does as it gets taller is make it harder to get your PSU cords to various components that are further away. I'd happily take a bit more width over height in my...

    They are fine. Just know that your rate will go up after 1 year, possibly after 6 months. Basically all insurance companies now do the same shit that cable and phone companies have been doing for years. You get HUGE new customer/introductory pricing discounts, and they all fall away after a...

    Heck of a deal right here for anyone in the market for a new video card Slickdeals: Gigabyte Radeon r9 290 4GB +3 free games- $319 AMD R9 290s are probably ~10% more powerful than an Nvidia 780(non Ti), and that's a solid $100 cheaper than the cheapest 780 I've ever seen

    Most retail-boxed SSDs will come with a little mounting platter that makes it fit into a traditional 3.5" internal hard drive bay. That being said, since an SSD has no moving parts and produces zero heat, there's no real need for it to be mounted anywhere really. My old SSD was an OEM product...

    Honestly, if you can't put a PC together, you can't assemble anything that comes with directions for assembly. If you can put together a store-bought bookshelf, you can put together a PC. If you can hook up your home theater system, you can build a PC.

    Whataburger burgers and Sonic burgers are almost identical. I like them both so that's fine with me, but there is almost no difference between them. I've you've had Sonic than you've had Whataburger(and vice versa) Overall I prefer Sonic though because tator tots are the ultimate fried...

    FYI, If Google hasn't already opened up registration and is currently laying fiber in areas near you, you're going to have a wait. Here in Kansas City, it's roughly a year-ish turnaround from the point that they open up service registration for your neighborhood through the Google/fiber website...

    Just for the record(and probably not that anyone cares) but the LG G2 has a shitty, shitty camera. It looks great if you are in bright sunlight, but the second you get into even a tad bit of shade, or taking a picture indoors, it looks like total ass. I'm not even talking about what people...

    We looked for granite and marble remnants at our local ReStore. Yeah getting that huge remnant for $30 is sweet but by the time you have it cut to size, outer edges finished/rounded and a sink hole cut, it's cheaper just to order a countertop from your local cabinet market or whoever. You...

    They've already taken a slight bump here. Got a quesarito last week and they were $1.99 for beef and $2.99 for steak. Went today and both were 30 cents higher, $2.29 for beef and $3.29 for steak. Sonsofbitches. I still bought them though. So good.

    While I'd never wish a preemie on anyone, now that we know that our kid is 100% fine, I can say stuff like I'm almost glad my wife didn't have to endure those last 2 1/2 months of pregnancy, nor the tore up vagina(C-section). That last trimester can be a bitch, she only had to endure 2 weeks of it

    Option 1 - Request a copy of your new contract. There should be an initial opt-out period when new service is activated. Maybe 30 days, maybe 60, who knows. They'll probably tell you they can't send you a copy of your contract. In that case inform them that you would then like to immediately...
