    Credit Score Question

    Multiple inquiries show you are shopping around for more debt, hence the credit hit. Let those drop off and you will see an improvement. I haven't had an inquiry in years, so can't say how much it adversely affects the actual score.

    Get that usage down a bit and I am sure you will see more gains. This is why we keep saying to pay that off every month.

    I've had a fancy LG washing machine for about 8 years now and 3 adults in the house. Never serviced it. It just keeps chugging along with no issues.

    The Fast Food Thread

    I am bored and dicking around with the PJ nutritional calculator. So, that is 2560c for a large pepperoni original crust (no idea what he had). Plus 880c for the garlic knots. Then 1960 for his dessert. 2560 x2 - 2 large pizzas 880 - garlic knots 1960 - dessert That's a grand total of 7,960...

    Fuck me, 1900 calories just for that dessert? I can't fathom how many calories were in that entire meal. I assume you ate that over the course of a day, not in one sitting?

    I stopped watching halfway through S2. The show was just garbage. Has it gotten any better to pick back up?

    Whiskey

    Kinda related, but it's insane how some alcohol rockets in price. I am a bit of a Cognac connoisseur and while in France, bought a bottle of Richard Hennessy at about 1000 Euro. Same bottle today (9 yrs later) is about $3500+. Apparently the Chinese got a taste for fine cognac and with all the...

    Every time I have tried the Zinger sandwich, it has been too bready and dry. They have a Zinger Twister here, which is my usual go-to. The pic doesn't translate well. It is heat pressed and makes the tortilla nice and toasted. Zinger® Twister

    Na.. it was the mentality of my brother and friends really.

It was literally white rice on a plate with a fried chicken cutlet with powdered curry...

    I literally went to the one in your link. "CoCo" is a chain of curry restaurants in Japan and they have a couple locations in Okinawa. It's just watery curry gravy. They literally sell the packets of dry powdered ingredients that you add to boiling water. Buy Coco Ichibanya Japanese Curry Set...

    I had this shit when I visited my brother in Okinawa. The fact they call this "curry" is a travesty. It's like powdered packets added to water to make a watery "curry" gravy. Go visit Thailand or India and shop around for curry and get back to me Japan bros.

    If you don't know this trick, it might be considerable and nearly game-breaking.. Your tank should only ever be using Evasive disc on this server. It basically never runs out.

    It doesn't take much to fill up that kind of space. Hell, I don't even have any 4k downloads and my 15TB NAS is 3/4 of the way full. When you want pristine 1080p BluRay copies of entire series like Game of Thrones, Breaking Bad, and a ton of movies in 1080p DTS-HD MA format it fills quickly. If...

    Yea, the shard drop rate was bumped up significantly on the server. Some are crazy quick, but others you can still struggle.

    My advice was to avoid talking to their insurance was based on my experience. I had a drunk driver pull in front of me once. The impact was so big, the girl in my passenger seat broke her collarbone. I had severe whiplash, etc. Guy was arrested on the spot at the scene for being way over the...

    Was gonna say, any Tank / Shm combo is unstoppable on this server. I cleared all that when it was 2 box limit with my SK / Shm. No reason your Pal, Shm, Mag shouldn't walk the place. Especially at level 65.

    Torrenting off that SSD is pointless, as your max internet speed is a tiny fraction of what the Read / Write speed is on your SSD. Plus, you are going to up the number of read / write cycles unnecessarily on your SSD. I have a separate 4TB storage disk in my PC that is essentially a torrent...

    As I pointed out, that 960 Pro (top end NVME) is 7x the speed of a SATA SSD. That is a PC bottleneck that are you going to get 7x performance difference for a relatively small investment difference. I just don't see the point in scrooge mcducking a hundred bucks to use an ancient SATA3 interface...

    Oh, I hear you. I have nearly 10TB worth of media on my NAS. I didn't remove old stuff from folders, rather I just stopped using folders going forward. When I made the decision, I just started adding the media file by itself. Sort the folder by Newest from top to bottom. All your older folder...

    I used to deal with this too until I just started dropping my rips without folders. I don't need anything but the correct film title and Kodi sorts everything else out.

    The Samsung 960s are hitting up to 3500 reads. Again, IOPS are really what matter and there is a staggering difference between the two techs. Noodle is right though, there are quite a few scenarios where it is noticeably different. It really is a relatively small bump in price. Something that...

    Dude, NVME is literally 4-5x the speed of old SATA. More importantly, the IOPS are through the roof. If you are dropping the cash on a 7700k and 1080Ti, the price difference in an NVME enabled motherboard and SSD are relatively nothing. That old SATA SSD shit is ancient these days.

    This kiosk argument is fucking stupid. To get inside the store itself, you are likely grabbing the same door pull outside as every single other person that day. I am willing to bet that kiosk touchscreen is cleaned about 100x more often than the front door handle. Bunch of germophobes up in here.
