    Power washing is honestly about as easy as yard work gets. It's time consuming, but it's not physically demanding whatsoever. No sweating your ass off or breaking your back, you're basically just using a hose for a couple hours. Put on some headphones, crack open a beer, and enjoy your...

    But you don't think the big companies could strong-arm the little ones out of having tower access if they started to put a major dent in the big guys subscriber base? It would happen in a heartbeat. The little guys are tolerated because right now they are the equivalent of a fly annoying an...

    I started making grilled cheese like this a few months ago holy fucking christ, it's incredible. Who doesn't love fried cheese? The main key is to make sure your shredded cheese isn't ice-cold out of the fridge, or it won't start to melt on the outside of the hot bread, and it makes...

    Basically Onoes has demonstrated that he is fine committing an immoral act, as long as he knows there's no repercussions/won't get caught. Some people with higher moral standards wouldn't commit an immoral act because of how they would feel about it themselves, regardless of if anyone else knew...

    Protip: put your phone down in your cars cup holder while using GPS, the plastic cylinder of the cup holder amplifies the sound. I swear to god my phone seems about 50% louder when its down in my cup holder as opposed to sitting on my console or in the passenger seat or something. Basically...

    Thats pretty much exactly why I chose the S4 over the original HTC one last year. Samsung had the better camera, bigger screen, I felt better quality screen, and I don't give a rats ass about plastic vs metal casing. And now with the water proofing of the S5, thats even another bonus. The...

    As of right now, at this point in time, no phone maker has drastically surpassed Samsung to the point that their phones look old and dated. Apple let that happen years ago with their tiny little phones. Samsung could easily fall into the same trap that Apple did if they basically change...

    As much as I love my Note 3, I have also been slowly migrating away from Samsung. I moved my wife over to the LG G2 phone from her S3, and I've had a Samsung LCD monitor and a Samsung LCD TV both die on me in the last couple years within 3-4 years of purchase. I replaced the monitor with a...

    I don't really see a whole lot of difference. Option 1) Throttle sites that don't pay, leave sites that do pay alone Option 2) Sites that don't pay all sit at a lower speed, sites that pay get a higher speed. Its basically the exact same thing, just different wording. It's just a matter...

    I didn't really talk it up, but I love my Note 3. Best phone I've ever owned, and I've owned several other Samsungs and HTC phones. (S2, S3, S4, HTC Evo, Evo 3D). The battery in the Note is crazy good. I left my phone on streaming Spotify via bluetooth to an external speaker for 8 hours...

    Definitely go to a store and look at the actual phones though, don't buy sight-unseen. Last year I was all set on buying the original HTC One over a Samsung S4 from just reading reviews. Once I got into a Sprint store and looked at both side by side, the Samsung screen was just so much...

    I'll be honest, I have absolutely no desire to be that good of friends with a woman who bitches that much, unless I'm trying to get in her pants as the ultimate prize. No other set of circumstances would have me even remotely interested in talking that much with, or knowing that much about a...

    I'd say the top 3 Android phones currently are probably HTC One(M8) Samsung Galaxy S5 LG G2 All have outstanding battery life, the LG is probably the cheapest of the bunch, it's been out for a good 6-7 months now. The S5 is kinda nice because it is water resistant, so that keeps you safe...

    It could easily be vastly different from state to state and even district to district. A lot of how agressive an insurance company is depends on their market share in a particular state. One little trick of the trade is to find out what(if any) insurance companies have their home corporate...

    Allstate has a reputation(at least around here) of being a yo-yo with their rates from year to year. One year we'll lose dozens of customers to Allstate because they take some huge rate decrease, or come out with some new discount that is crazy cheap. Then next year everyone comes back when...

    FYI, everyone does. Your state insurance laws dictate at what age a vehicle can be repaired with aftermarket parts. Here in MO it's over 3 years old and aftermarket parts can be used. Every insurance company follows the laws of whatever state you are in. No company is going to pony up for...

    My company charges an extra $1 a month service fee to pay monthly(waived if its auto-withdrawal), with no discount for paying 6 or 12 months. So worst case scenario, if we have to manually mail you a bill every month, it costs you $12 a year. I have heard of some companies charging as much...

    That's not the conclusion that I came away with after reading through the 6 pages of their forum post about the monitor. Most reviews were positive, with the only major negative being that its a TN panel, and a lot of people on that forum prefer IPS, but what do you expect for such a cheap...

    Alternately, the single worst moment that one can experience in fast food is when you go to Hardees/Carls Jr and order curly fries, and they drop a few of their bastard normal fries in the box as well, taking up precious room that could have been a couple more curly fries.
