    surge protector/UPS

    I had the power blink off for 15 seconds just now...getting tired of this. I finally decided I need to buy a UPS. Okay, so how many watts would I need to power two computers for 5 minutes or so? -- just long enough to keep things running during blippish power outages that I occasionally...

    There are some nice twists to the crimes. WAY better thanThe Mentalistwhich is about as generic and predictable as you can get.

    Weight Loss Thread

    Sean, I believe you said you're on disability? Not sure what kind of course, but I highly recommend adding workouts (if possible) in addition to your diet plan. I started doing P90X and Insanity a couple of years ago and lost 40 lbs. I'm at a point now where I can eat pretty much anything...

    Ratings have been pretty decent. It'll more than likely get renewed.

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    I use NZBS.org and Filesharingtalk...but for me the downloads are incomplete. I'm assuming stuff is being deleted off of the news server? I'm using Giganews. I noticed recently that a lot of shows are being named something cryptically numeric, so prying eyes can't tell what exactly it is...

    What Does Your Car Say About You? (The Car Thread)

    I love the Pontiac Trans Ams during that time. You know, the Smokey and the Bandit one with the golden, screaming chicken on the hood.

    Buying a car?

    I fail to see how a BMW, Mercedes, or whatever is a "status symbol" when it has a shit ton of miles on it. A guy here at work bought a BMW 5-series, had about 90K miles and a month later the transmission dies. Costed him 5 grand to fix. Get the Elantra, odds are it will be trouble-free for...

    What Does Your Car Say About You? (The Car Thread)

    I had a 05 Legacy GT. Fast as shit. Kinda wish I had kept it as they're kinda rare. I really like Subaru. Rumor has it that 2014 will bring us a turbo BRZ. That will be mighty tempting.
