    I will give Chick-Fil-A credit for one thing, they are really strict with their franchising, all of their places are held to the same standard of service and quality, which is pretty good. They don't allow someone to just "buy" a franchise as an investment and have someone else run it. All...

    Well, they may not be manufactured new after the 1 year mark, but there is usually plenty of inventory to keep them stocked at most places until they start blowing them out at clearance prices at some point in the 12-24 month range, to where the cards basically can't be found new anymore by the...

    True, most video cards are released, and then see a sizeable price reduction/clearance in roughly 12-18 months after release, and are gone and discontinued by the 2 year mark.

    I do like the Saison-Brett. Also try their Two Jokers, which should be available in June. It's their best Belgian-style witbier. They haven't made Two Jokers in a couple years, but they are busting it out again this summer.

    Maybe I caught Chick-Fil-A on a bad day or something, but I thought their spicy chicken sandwich had zero heat. And since the Chick-Fil-A and Wendys near me are right across the street from each other, I just went back to going to Wendys and didn't give the Chick-Fil-A a 2nd chance.

    I am a huge fan of anything buffalo/spicy chicken. There's basically 2 ways most fast food places do it, either with a spicy sauce slathered onto regular fried/breaded chicken, or with a spicy breading and no sauce Wendys(the best IMHO) - spicy breading, no sauce Burger King - Spicy...

    Crossfire/SLI works pretty well if you time it right and upgrade to a 2nd card probably within a year or so, and catch that second card on sale. I originally bought a 660Ti 3GB for like $320 when they released around August 2012. I then added a 2nd one during a Black Friday sale in November...

    The AFC West and the NFC West all matchup this year. Should be fun seeing Denver play San Fran and Seattle in the regular season. I'm also interested in seeing how the Chiefs do against that division. The Chiefs lucked out last year in beating up on a down NFC East, going 4-0 against...

    In the last draft before the new rookie pay scale, since Eric Berry(Safety-Chiefs) was taken 5th overall, he got a huge contract and instantly became the highest paid Safety in the NFL(as that generally isn't a huge money position other than a couple of guys). Yes, before he had even played 1...

    Cake > icing. My wife disagrees with me, but that's why we work well together. I like the middle pieces of a cake that don't have much icing(maybe only on top, she likes all the edges that are iced on multiple sides. Way too sweet for my liking.

    Gourmet cupcakes generally piss me off. They usually have WAY too much icing, the icing is often as thick as the cupcake itself. Its like eating pure, raw sugar it's so sweet. It's just not good.

    FYI, never, ever use Yelp for subjective restauraunt(or really any business) reviews. They've been sued so many times for shady business practices it isn't even funny.

    I find the main difference in a place where you get a $15 steak and a $90 steak is usually the service. Yeah, the steak is better, probably not 6x better, but it's better. However, at the $90 a plate place you're going to get your drinks refilled damn near constantly, recommendations made if...

    All that being said, my current 4 phones (1500 shared minutes + unlimited data plan) were $185 a month before fees and taxes(got like a $22 a month corporate"discount" off the normal price) and the 4 phones on Framily are $160. So I save $25 a month but lose my unlimited data. Not sure it's...

    Just keep in mind, there are basically no phone subsidies on Framily, but you also aren't on a contract. If you buy your phone through sprint, they can put your phone on a 2 year/24 month payment plan, that is added onto your Framily bill. For instance, a new Galaxy S5 is $99 down then...

    Tarrant, are you saying that there is a Framily option that still has unlimited date? I have an unlimited data family plan now with Sprint(unlimited data and 1500 shared minutes), and was hesitant to even look at other options with limited data. Problem is, I use probably 3-4GB per month of...
