Yeah, the back side of my case is like one of those peanut jars with the spring snake inside. God forbid if I have to take the door off on the back side for some reason, cables pop out all over the place. The main side looks tidy and clean though, lol.

Basically the Stay-at-home-mom salary should just be the base 40 hours, the 37K. Parents that work only need someone taking care of their kid during the ~40 hours a week that they are working. It's not like us working parents come home from work and then don't have to do anything with the kid...

Watch for a rate increase in about 6 months. Time Warner did the same thing last year "hey we're awesome, we're doubling everyone's speeds!". Then 6 months later they bumped everyone up $10-$15 a month, putting you close to the price you would have been paying for the next higher tier of...

I have that exact beer glass set, intrinsic. Bought one for my brother in law a couple Christmases ago too. Really nothing special about it, but it works well. The back of the box has a list of which types of beers are ideal for which shape of glass. Write that shit down if you don't already...

That'll make a bigger difference in a games performance than almost any choice of processor(short of buying a total crap CPU that's like $50). Of course there's a 99% chance you can overclock the other card by 100mhz and catch it up, but then again, the one that is faster to begin with can...

So I think I've pretty much found the sweet spot for growth/food production, and now I'm getting fairly bored. Seems like if you put down a Forrestry building, and then within that circle range where they replant trees constantly, throw a hunter lodge, gatherer, and herbalist, and it can...

I just assume Arizona is nothing but tacos, sand, and rattlesnakes, having never been there other than to drive through once on the way to Vegas.

And they're probably high-end beers, the types you would probably pay $5-$8 for a 10oz snifter. I can definitely come out ahead here

Buddy of mine had a 32" Trinitron computer monitor back in the mid 90s. It was badass but it had to have weighed 300lbs. It actually broke his desk in half after sitting on it for a few months. Took 3 of us to move the thing, it was about like trying to move a fireplace insert. Just brutal.

I'm trying to decide if I can drink my moneys worth in the 4-hour all you can drink and eat for $75. I think I can.

Hah, I'm glad you mentioned that, I linked the 1150 Extreme 4 in my post, editted and fixed the link to the correct one.

The ASRock Extreme 3 that mkopec linked is a solid motherboard too. The only significant difference between the Extreme 3 that he linked and the Extreme 4 that I linked, is the Extreme4 has 3 PCI-e(video card) slots, while the Extreme 3 has 2. Also the Extreme 4 has 4 USB 3.0 ports(and headers...

You shouldn't have any trouble re-using your Win 7 key on a new PC. I think I ended up having 3 different PCs over the life of my Windows 7 disk. Never had any issues with just completely reinstalling and entering the key again on my new build. I never re-used the same hard drive or anything...

8GB of Ram is going to run you ~$80 Everything else is going to vary wildly. What is his plan for this machine(high end gaming, or only plays WoW?) and how adverse is he to upgrading his video card within the next year or so? I'd generally recommend plunking down as much as you can on the...

I learned my lesson when I was young and dumb and bought various jewelry for various girlfriends. Most of the time they never wore it because they didn't really like it. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, whatever. When I got with my wife I absolutely had her pick out the ring. I didn't give...

My recommendation: stay off of bikes I can't even wrap my head around all of that. I've never been to the ER, I've never broken anything or had stitches. I also pretty much stopped playing any sports after highschool though, nothing more strenuous than the occasional pickup game of...

Yep, you always want to game on an odd number of monitors. Even numbers suck, you end up staring right at bezels. I had 2 1200p 28" monitors and it was worthless for dual monitor gaming, so I replaced one of them with a Korean 1440p and I just game exclusively on that. Much, much better.

There's a pizza place nearby that puts doritos on their taco pizza. It's goddamned delicious

Only thing I would personally change would be to go down to 8GB of RAM in order to afford a 4th gen processor, proably an i5 4670k. You can always easily add more RAM a year or two down the road if you need it(you won't need it right now) but upgrading a processor is a bitch. Go bigger on the...

You won't find hardly any Plasma TVs under 50" anymore, and the ones you do find will be 720P.. They pretty much start at 50" and go up from there if you want 1080p. I personally like Plasma the best out of all the options, but it has a few drawbacks that can be deal-breakers in certain...

Yeah, I'm self employed so I have to send in my own quarterly taxes, so I always try to be right on, not over or under, and the 1 kid(plus extra deductions for medical expenses) was worth a little over 5 grand worth of credits. Woohoo. That being said, he cost us WAY more than that last...

don't be that guy

Bathroom remodel with our tax money. We usually don't get any refund, but apparently the IRS likes you more when you have a kid. Who knew?

I think I'd be ok with it for small reads, texts, emails, maybe web/magazine articles etc. Not sure I could do a whole novel like that. I backtrack too much when reading a novel. I'd also think I'd be too likely to get distracted for a few seconds and miss several sentences when trying to...

I always thought the restriction on alcohol sales was done on a conference by conference basis. I know the Big 12/NCAA always made the Sprint Center here in Kansas City stop their beer sales during the Big 12 basketball tournament, same with no beer sales at Arrowhead during MU/ku football...

I found the little demo on their website really interesting Spritz

I guess I just needed to ask, and I shall receive: Boulevard announces ticket prices for new West Bottoms street festival - KansasCity.com

Thanks Mr Positivity

Just in the luxury boxes/suites I assume?

I do like the S5 being water resistant(up to 1m for 30 minutes) by default. No having to wait for a special version of it for that.

Damn, this game is unforgiving. Just started playing, got my first town up to like 55 adults and 25 children, and BAM, ran out of food and almost all of them died in 1 winter. Dropped me down to 8 adults 3 kids in no time flat, couldn't recover from that. Kinda got shafted on my starting...

Clowney vs Manziel

If you are going to clamp to glass, I would at least put some sort of large, thin piece of wood or hard plastic between the clamp and the glass. The bigger(wider) the better to spread out the pressure of the clamp over a larger area.

The inconsistencies in this show just infuriate me at times. How is it that Rick stangles a dude in the bathroom who then turnes into a zombie(presumably) and gives him a distraction to escape the property just minutes later, yet the dead guy at the end of the bed who got strangled just stayed...

dumbest scientist since Prometheus.

Way back in like the first or 2nd episode their main suspect they were looking for was a guy with facial scars. Not sure why that unique feature ever got pushed to the back burner as they eventually focused on Ledoux, but it sounds like Rust is basically back to where he started, looking for a...

I really enjoy my new routine of watching Walking Dead before True Detective. Makes True Detective seem even that much better. Like an appetizer of spam before your filet mignon dinner. I guess I must be putting too much thought into all of this. First, I half expected Harts new slampiece...

All it means is that the timing is slightly different. It's not like you were just playing the Gamecube version yesterday, and now the slightly different timing for attack moves is going to throw you off on this version. It's still a cell-shaded cartoon with pretty crappy graphics by todays...

The NFL knows how to hoard money like almost no other sport. They're on top for a reason. No pensions for their players, they don't employ refs, etc. They don't spend an extra dollar on anything if they don't have to. Of course the owners are all Billionaires because of it.

I guess functional isn't the word I was looking for, since it's purely decorative. But assuming we don't get divorced, my wife will be wearing it every day for the next 30-40 years. When you consider the total number of hours/days/years that it will be worn, it doesn't seem like such a waste...
