    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Just be glad that almost no one has mice with the roller balls in them anymore. Was doing tech support once with a customer over the phone when his mouse was skipping on his screen. I asked him to take a ball out and see if the plastic rollers needed to be cleaned. He replied "I think they're...

    Basically, just plan on being a zombie for the first month, and try to work in rotations. Our newborn basically wouldn't fall asleep unless it was ON me or mom for about the first 3-4 weeks, and then if we could somehow slowly creep to his crib and lay him down without disturbing him and waking...

    Comcast Agrees to Buy Time Warner Cable

    The worst part of this for us Time Warner customers is that TW has NEVER had any monthly data caps on their home broadband service. This is something that Comcast has been dying to do for a while now, the only thing keeping them from pulling the trigger was that their main competition(Time...

    Just get the newer gen i5 4670k instead of the 3570k, they're both the same price anyways ($220ish), might as well get the newer one.

    Awesome Random Surprises For Your Significant Other

    And flowers(specifically roses) aren't overly expensive unless you are buying them the week of Valentines Day or Mothers Day or some other "womens" holiday. I swear that flower prices jump about 300% during the week of those holidays.

    Had our 9 month checkup today. We couldn't be happier. After starting out life 10 weeks premature(born at 30 weeks) at 2.5 lbs, he's now actually up in to somewhat normal ranges for length and height already. 19lbs 3oz and 27 1/2 inches long. 20th percentile on weight and 24th percentile on...

    Yeah our 9-month old is like that. Put a toy away in his closet for a week, then bust it out again and it's like he's never seen it before. Excited all over again.

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    It just isn't made to do that. I don't think you'll ever see great streaming performance of anything unless it's a specifically written Chromecast app (like Netflix, Hulu, Plex, Youtube, etc) Chromecast just doesn't work well trying to cast random web pages. But that was also Google's exact...

    Las Vegas

    When I stayed at Treasure Island(TI or whatever it's branded as now) about 4-5 years ago, they still had $5 craps in the morning/afternoon. The table minimums bumped up in the evening, but if you were already there before the table changed over they'd let you keep playing at $5. A bunch of...

    I've used quite a few different services, my father has Hughesnet satellite at his lake home. I'd emphatically say that satellite is WAY better than his only other option of dialup, but that's about all it's better than. If you legitimately can get a 4G LTE signal at your home, go that route...

    Buying a car?

    Most people(including me) have that mindset because cars are generally a very expensive item that rapidly depreciates to the point of worthlessness. Real estate generally won't lose its entire value in a short period of time, and other consumables(like the clothes you mentioned) are cheap...

    If Google Fiber ever gets to me, I'm taking a week off work. I'd be the most excited I would be for something computer related since probably the Kunark expansion, I took a weeks vacation when that came out too, last time I did that for a video game release.

    Yeah, as far as national brands go you can't hardly beat Tostitos. I love me some scoops. And not any of the gay flavored ones like lime or fajita. Just normal old corn chip scoops.

    The Beer Thread

    It still boggles my mind that some states are so conservative to the point of backwardness that they can't sell liquor in a grocery store. kansas is like this as well. There's a lot of people in ks that shop here in MO just because of that if they live near the state line.

    Yeah, the free is crap though, it's "up to" 5mbps. Very few people that have it are getting anywhere close to 5, it's more like 1-2.

    It's going very, VERY slowly here in Kansas City. They still haven't even completed connections for the original announced small area of KC from a couple years back. They've since made announcements of expanding to multiple suburbs of KC, but are nowhere close even starting on connections to...

    Thor: The Dark World.

    Just watched this. For someone who knows nothing about the comics at all, what is the significance of the collector guy in the scene after the credits? And what happened to the red(Thanos?) guy at the end of the last Thor movie, why wasn't he in the sequel?

    79 a month for 150/30 is a hell of a deal if you actually get those speeds, and they don't have a monthly GB cap. I pay $65 for 50/5 from Time Warner, but they do deliver on that, I'm usually closer to 60/5 on speed tests, and they have zero limits on monthly downloading, no nasty letters for...

    Facebook can be amazing when you first join and everything is new. I was a little late to the Facebook party, I don't think I created an account until 2009 or 2010. Within days I was friended by about 200 people that I had went to highschool with(I was in my 30s at the time, so I hadn't seen...

    Might & Magic X: Legacy

    And a lot of enemies in the game can attack from range(spells, thrown weapons) and you pretty much never want to just trade ranged attacks with them, unless you're running 3 or 4 mages. You're always better off moving around a corner so they have to come to you in melee range. About the only...

    Ealy should blow up at the combine. His measurables and athleticism will basically be just like Aldon Smith was. Super long arms, huge hands, very quick first step. Sam is more of a motor guy, not the freakiest athlete, but a guy that never quits giving 100% on every play. Sam probably...

    Minor car accident - now with ambulance chasing law firm

    Auto insurance is a joke in the US. The state I live in still only requires a minimum of 10k property damage and 25k bodily injury per person. The same limits now as when insurance became mandatory in 1987. Those limits didn't go very far then and they are just ridiculous now. Most states are...

    If you have a toaster that has a "bagel" setting, toasting hamburger buns in that works really well. Just toasts the flat side and not both sides when it's set for a bagel. Plus toasters that have a bagel setting usually have pretty wide openings to fit most buns unless they're super huge...

    USAA is a great company if you qualify to use them. And conveniently their pricing is very competitive as well, so you really don't ever need to shop around. Anytime someone calls us for a quote and I ask them who they are currently with and they tell me USAA, I tell them not to bother.

    They won't cover you if you are actually committing a crime, crimes end all liability, but if it's an accident then you are liable for the damages. We also had a guy who called the fire department over a kitchen fire. They show up and find out he was making meth in his kitchen with propane...
