    I have the S6 and I am stillblown away by it. I thought the battery would be an issue too, but I seem to always have more than 50% battery left on a day's use. I do not think I have used my USB car charger since I bought the thing! It has exceptional daily battery life. This is certainly the...

    The Fast Food Thread

    So strange, I have put paper towels in the microwave as long as I can remember and never had one so much as turn brown, let alone ignite! Also, how have you never had food splatter in the microwave!?? Thick liquids tend to do it the worst, as well as anything fatty. Eggs are prone to making a...

    The Fast Food Thread

    I keep a dry paper down on the bottom of the microwave 24/7 for easy spill clean up. It has yet to ever catch fire. Plus, wetting a paper towel and placing it over certain foods while reheating (pasta, rice, etc) can add moisture back to the food during re-heating. God damn microwave noobs!

    Manila Philippines

    So, headed to Malapascua Island with a few friends next month for a big dive trip. I will probably spend a few days in Cebu at the end of the trip. Suggestions / advice? (Never been to the Philippines)

    Since John Stewart joked about it, I can NOT unsee it... "looks like a group of uncircumcised Italian men jerking off, onto a f*cking pizza. or, if you prefer, pizza wearing an uncircumcised dick bandolier."

    Everquest II

    Biggest performance hit I remember was shadows. It basically runs entirely off of CPU cycles, which the game is already stretching.

    Weather

    It gets to 120F+ here with high humidity. LOL at Vegas "heat".

    Everquest II

    Right, makes sense! I think Mystic is pretty epic too. I remember watching a couple guildies duel in KoS era. Templar vs Mystic and it literally went on for over an hour.

    Pure healing? Templar all the way. Inq gives up some of the healing for dps / cures.

    Vanguard - I don't give a fuck if it's dead, It's still brown as fuck (Download link in 1st post)

    I played the game in what was basically Alpha / First Beta back when it was in the hands of Microsoft still. Less than 100 people on the server at any given time and holy crap was it a mess!! You could simply bugreport nonstop all day everyday. I gave it another spin when it went to SoE, but it...

    Ah, my fault for skimming.. 192.168 is private. You said "local" and I just assumed you meant your public ISP provided address. Sorry, but I can't be of any help. You covered what I would be looking for. Try and VPN, then test? Just in case your ISP is fucking around with torrents?

    Last time I had BK onion rings, it wasn't even an actual physical onion inside. It was some disgusting onion-like mush. (Admittedly, it has been years)

    Re quick charge, it's really about getting a quick 10-15min charge if you are in a rush. It can give you plenty of charge on short notice before heading out the door. Here is a review I found: So, We Fast Charged the Samsung Galaxy S6 and This is What Happened | Droid Life Started at 5% 5...

    It's not, that two prong thing is also on my external USB3 hard drive. It's for faster data transfer, nothing to do with Samsung specific anything, nor charge rates. Amazon.com: AmazonBasics USB 3.0 Cable - A Male to Micro B - 6 Feet (1.8 Meters): Computers Accessories

    After a month or so with the S6 Edge, it is by far the best phone I have ever had. Easily over 50% battery life left after a day of use, the supercharge feature is crazy fast once it is drained. (No going back to subpar charging phones once you use this! akin to HDD to SSD) The new OS is...

    4K is the future and considering that benchmarks cripple single card versions of the 980s, they have a lot of work to do. Hell, the new iMac has a 5K screen, and there are already demos of 8K TVs and Monitors floating around the Electronics Shows. Never say never!

    I think Templars are the better healer, but Inquisitors are better at curing curse later down the line (with AA). Warlock will be king for AE dps. Single target would be Wiz, Nec, Warlock.

    Don't get me started on this. Drives me nuts! Especially on off-road vehicles. I drive a 2013 Land Rover LR4 and the damn thing comes stock with 19" wheels (20" optional) as standard. It's baffling that a truck like a Land Rover built on its off-road pedigree cripples that capability by...
