    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Does Watch ESPN still only work if you have ESPN already via a cable/satellite subscription? I really wish WatchESPN and HBOGo were available as individual subscriptions.

    It does have a Hulu Plus app though, so if you subscribe to that you're set.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Possibly, but I wouldn't count on it. Some websites work, some don't. It'll cast any static website just fine but as soon as you start trying to cast anything that contains video it's a crapshoot. It really just kinda depends on the site and what standard they use for their video. I'd say...

    Movies That Would Be Made, If You Could Make It Happen

    I'd like to see Stephen King's "Eyes of the Dragon" made into a movie. Was easily my favorite King book as a kid/teenager. Pretty sure it was the first(only?) time he had written a traditional fantasy book with wizards, magic, and all that jazz.

    Witcher 3

    Yeah, as great as Witcher 2 was, there was a SHITLOAD of invisible walls and inaccessible areas when out in the world exploring. So take that figure with a grain of salt

    Smartphones

    Yeah I'm at $210 a month on Sprint for unlimited Data + 1500 shared minutes on 4 phones. 3 are 4g Smartphones, 1 is an older 3G smartphone(my dads) If I change at all, I don't think I can stay with Sprint, the 1GB limit per line on the Framily thing is a dealbreaker. I use 3-5GB per month...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    This also raises the question, do women gravitate towards low paying jobs, or are those jobs low paying because they're always traditionally been jobs for women, so the low pay was just accepted for decades. Hell, if daycare had always been run by men, that shit would probably pay $100 an...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    The real issue there isn't necessarily a male vs female thing, it's more of a "don't marry a loser" issue. Whether you are male or female, don't hitch yourself to someone with no ambition that is content with living in a 1 bedroom apartment and eating off of food stamps and driving a beater...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    My wife and I each put like 90% of our income into joint checking/savings, but we do still have our seperate checking accounts that we had pre-marriage to keep that little extra amount in. It's basically our play money. If I want to go out drinking with the guys without her, or buy a new video...

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    The thing is, you really don't want something that discards pulp/rinds/whatever. That's where like 3/4 of the vitamins and nutrients are in a fruit or vegetable. You toss out all the seeds and rinds and pulp and you're basically just drinking sugar water at that point. Thats why the Vitamix...

    No, you never disassemble the blades from the container with a Vitamix, it's all 1 unit. They actually sell different blades(one for wet/frozen stuff, one for dry chopping like herbs and coffee) and it consists of buying a whole new plastic container with the new blade attached. Theres...

    They specifically tell you to not use the dishwasher, but all you do to clean it is fill it half full of warm water, put in a couple squirts of dish soap, and then run it on high for 30 seconds. Has worked great so far, made ice cream and smoothies last night, cleaned it like a champ. The...

    Bought this for my wife for her birthday. We busted it open and started using it last night. Fucking awesome Nothing like being able to make frozen sherbert just by tossing in nothing but frozen fruit(complete with stems, seeds, peels, etc), or cooking soup right in the device. 2HP...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It comes down to us guys thinking logically with the women thinking emotionally. Like I said, I'm not saying it's right or wrong, but that's the general feeling that the vast majority of women are going to have. Shit won't fly for long.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah, and that's totally reasonable because those things help both of you out equally. You aren't hiring a maid just to do your portion of the chores, or you aren't bringing home takeout only when it's your turn to cook(if you take turns)

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    But that isn't how most people would see it. Most people would see it as "How come he gets to come home from work and kick his feet up and drink a beer while I'm still busting my ass to get stuff done around the house" It just doesn't fly. Now if she's working 20 hours a week and you're...

    Yeah our kid is real close to walking, he'll be 11 months next week. He's doing the thing where he'll stand up while holding on to something (chair, ottoman, whatever) and then let go and see how long he can balance before falling, or even try to take 1 step before falling. He's doing pretty...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    As long as the argument is "let's hire a maid vs doing it ourselves" and not "you should do all the work because I make more" then that's legit. If two people both work 40+ hours a week, just because one makes more than the other doesn't necessarily reflect that one person is working harder...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I want to chime in with a word of advice regarding work earnings vs home chores. Never, EVER use the fact that you make 2x as much as your spouse/partner as an excuse that you shouldn't have to do an equal share of work around the house, or with the kids. That's a horrible attitude to have...

    Also, AAA or any roadside service through your insurance will send out locksmiths to get into locked cars, those services aren't just for towing and changing flats.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    These people have been married 35 years and they still have "his money" and "her money" and basic needs like groceries has to be paid for by one person or the other? There's some serious problems with this whole situation. Sounds like there's been a big disconnect from the start.

    Amazon Fire TV

    Amazon really wants to be Apple. First they start pricing their new Kindle Fire HDs up in the stratosphere with Apples iPads, now they release this at the exact same price point as the Apple TV. This device should be $50-$60 tops, not $100.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I'd guess the residential version of the 16/2 plan + overages is still cheaper, if you're going to downgrade your service anyways. It just blows that less than 5% of the US actually has access to their choice of 2+ cable companies for service. Lack of choice is terrible.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    I wouldn't think you would have trouble getting it, but "business class" internet service is going to cost you about 50% more than your residential service, for the same speeds. Comcast, for instance, offers 50mbps down residential for like $69, whereas its $109 for business class, you're...

    Well, grilling season is pretty much upon us now. I went out and bought a new grill recently, my old one (cheapo $200 grill from Lowes) rusted out in about 2 1/2 years of use and a couple of the burners stopped working. I always have it covered, but I guess with the humidity and whatever, it...

    I know they stop serving breakfast at like 10am, but the real question is, what time of night do they start serving it? 3am? 5am? I think most of their target demographic might be more likely to have access to the breakfast menu from being up that late, rather than getting up early enough...

    Yeah, and the Giants aren't in NY either. Everyone knows it as the Dallas Cowboys stadium. Referring to it as "North Texas" is about as dumb as constantly referring to the last Super Bowl as being played in Northern New Jersey. Everyone just said New York.
