    The Fast Food Thread

    Ok, so after 2 years I made my first trip home to the US recently. I just have to add that the Taco Bell chicken quesarito is pretty damn tasty! Easily in my top 3 of menu items they have ever carried! On the trip I visited my Uncle down in Tampa FL. We got hungry and stopped by a place...

    I think the key point is he is only gaming at 1080p. THAT is why the 780 Ti is just ridiculous. NOTHING he is playing is going to tax that card. Why throw that money away? Joeboo's advice is solid. Save a few hundred bucks and get the R9 (while still maxing settings at 1080p) and have money down...

    That just seems like a ton of money for not much bike. Basic frame, no suspension, some big tires and it's magically $2k? I just don't get it.

    International Travel for n00bs

    I've been to Paris half a dozen times and all over the countryside / riviera. I can honestly think of only 1 time ever that I had the "stereotypical" French attitude from a waiter. Everyone else has been pretty damn friendly overall. Like Lambourne said, just dont go walking up blabbering in...

    Well, I earn good 6 figures but I have the advantage of working overseas. So I get just over 100k tax exemption ($97k foreign exclusion + housing deduction). The issue is, I am probably coming back stateside next year. I have about 12 years of 401k savings while I have been overseas. I am just...

    Desktop Computers

    Gotta concur. While that system is fantastic for $1500 as a whole, as a 1080p gaming system the 780 Ti is just stupidly overpowered. Spend half and get the R9, have money for a GPU upgrade a couple years down the road (that would be better than the 780 Ti).

    Not to mention, if you are someone of a green thinker, bamboo is the fastest growing / replaceable "wood" there is. I quote wood, as bamboo is technically a grass. It grows insanely quickly, as in a few feet per day!

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    I think the big issue (we are talking about the current Tour de France) is that morons are stepping out into the road into the path of the racers to take these selfies. Fuck those idiots. It's interfering with the event.

    I thought bamboo cutting boards were the rage. I have had mine for about 5 years and only rinse it with water once I am finished using it. No oiling bullshit to date.

    I have a lot more faith in 4K than any of the other recent gimmicks. I completely agree with you about cable companies, but I think more and more households are moving to internet streaming technology. And while the US monopolies are choking out infrastructure progress, this isnt exactly true...

    Computer Issues

    It honestly depends on how important that data is to you. Do you really need a whole TB of data backed up? The stuff I would be really concerned about is digital pictures and video (family) that can't be replaced. That is worth the cloud storage from your PC, no doubt. Random video games and...

    Ok, I take that back. Sorry James! (never made it over to RR did he?) Pretty sure it was Eomer who invited me and then burned his own account somehow. Joeboo, I gave you your invite. Well done on the ratio!

    James burned me on FoH with his shitty IPT ratio. I want to say Eomer invited me, but I can't check until I am home to be sure.

    Can we discuss wtf is with these new curved screens? What is the point? I dropped by the Samsung shop the other day and one of their top model 65" curved TVs were positioned right next to a traditional 65" flat TV. I honestly thought the flat one looked significantly larger and better overall. I...

    I'd love to know the pro / cons of converting a traditional 401k into a Roth. As my balance creeps ever higher, all I can see is how much of it will need to go to the tax man someday. That said, I do know the wonders of compound interest. So is it better to leave it be and compound heavier, or...

    Home Theater In a Box ?

    It is probably overcurrent protection, just like you said. However, your assumption that it should just blast out full max all day is not entirely realistic. The issue lies within the speakers. Most household speakers are rated around 8 ohms. This is a partial truth. The fact is, the impedance...

    Just to hit on some comments about credit cards with chips. Europe have been using these for a long time, but the old magnetic swipe still works perfectly fine. Every machine I have ever run across has had both. (I have lived outside the US for the last 15 years) Credit cards also have the...
