    The Kansas City BBQ "get-together and pig out" thread

    And that drive across MO, Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio is one boring goddamn drive. About the only thing that could make it worse is if you were also driving across kansas.

    Alternatives to Oil Heating that aren't Natural Gas.

    You can get an electric furnace for your home, they're pretty common anymore, even sold in places like Lowes and Home Depot. I have no idea how the cost of operation compares to oil/natural gas, but a lot of new homes anymore are going all electric. I had a townhome that was 100% electric for...

    Dark Souls 2

    Buy the game. I'm a PC RPG player primarily. Console RPGs just have no interest to me anymore(even though I grew up playing Dragon Warrior/Final Fantasy on NES, I dont care at all about Final Fantasy XXVII or whatever), I still play through Baldurs Gate 1 & 2 about every other year, and I...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm not sure I even know 445 people. Hell, I only have 300 facebook friends, and 2/3 of those are highschool classmates I havent seen in 20 years. We had about 65 people at our wedding. I invited about 15, the other 50 were my wife's invites.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    Honestly, the market can't support(and doesn't need) 600 different TV stations. I pay $60 a month for satellite basically just to watch about 5 different channels. Theres no reason those 5 channels shouldn't get all that money(or even better, those 5 channels not costing $60 a month).

    It's entirely possible. I know I've mentioned it before, but I can't remember if it was here, or the previous forums, or what.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Ain't that the truth. My favorite gift was from a family on my wife's side...there's 5 of them(husband, wife, and 3 kids aged roughly 8-12), and they specifically requested adult meals for all 3 kids rather than the cheaper kids meal choices(WTF 8 year old wants salmon and rice pilaf instead of...

    Path of Exile

    Not really, that's how the developer makes their money, by selling armor & weapon cosmetic effects/graphics, among other purely cosmetic things. If you want a giant glowing sword that shoots flames and a lighted halo over your head, you have to pay for it.

    Note that I said "appraised for 11K". I didn't even spend half that much. Jewelry prices/appraisals are such a racket. Never pay more than 50% of what appraisal is.

    Buying a car?

    When I was car shopping over the summer, I test drove a CX-5 and absolutely loved it. Handled great, and got outstanding gas mileage for an SUV. Unfortunately, it was actually a little bit smaller than my current Escape, especially in the back seat, and we were wanting something a little...

    Always make sure to schedule expensive jewelry on your homeowners inurance. Specifically scheduled items are generally covered for loss and partial loss(ring goes down disposal, lose it in the yard, or even if just the diamond comes loose and falls out). If you just use the standard jewelry...

    Path of Exile

    The game starts real slow, but then ramps up to insane levels of action once you get a whole action bar worth of skills going. The first hour can definitely be pretty boring though, but stick with it, it'll be worth it. It's almost paced like an MMO. Your first hour is the equivalent of...

    Haha, guess I should have done a little research on Nemesis before I just jumped right in and started playing. Just got blown up and killed at level 22 by a rare mob that apparently had a modifier on it to explode for massive damage on death. Whoops. Is there any advantage to playing...

    Holy shit, how did Young get a 30 million dollar contract in 1985? That would be a record-breaking, historical contract at that point in time. From a LA times article from 1985: NFL Salaries Up 25%, Average $162,000 - Los Angeles Times

    Man, the battery in the Note 3 is just an absolute beast: Didn't use my phone a ton today, was on a couple calls for a total of about ~45 minutes, probably did 30-45 mins of web browsing, and took 20-30 pictures(which auto-upload to dropbox), sent a couple texts and a handful of emails...

    Griffin isn't dumb. From wikipedia: He's definitely closer to the Ryan Fitzpatrick end of the spectrum than he is the Vince Young end.

    Lasik Eye Surgery

    That's actually a solid price. My eyesight is horrid as well, I wear contacts that are -8.5 in each eye(my prescription is actually -8.75, but the contacts I wear only come in .5 increments at that extreme prescription) I got several consultation for LASIK about 2-3 years ago because I'm...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    Probably a dumb question, but after looking at the link to the self-powered USB network dongle...if a device draws its power from the USB port, does that cut in to the data bandwith that is available to the device, or are those things completely separate with no relation whatsoever to each other?

    2013 NFL Season

    That's pretty much every coach and team. Guess what, the opponents of teams with a .750 win percentage only have a .250 win percentage! Also why pretty much every coach in the history of coaching has a worse record in the playoffs than in the regular season. Because you don't play any bad...

    2013 NFL Season

    RG3 isn't wrong. The NFL can only get what college football is producing, and it isn't traditional pocket passers. Look at all the top NCAA teams and QB prospects, Jameis Winston at Florida State, Johnny Football, Marcus Mariota at Oregon, Brett Hundley at UCLA. the QB position now takes...

    Here is PC Gamers review of the 290x. Looks like a hell of a card, but boy does it chew up a TON of power and put out a LOT of heat. 383 watts at max load, compared to Nvida Titans 300, and it runs at about 95 degrees celsius. If you crossfired 2 of these things, you could probably heat your...

    Yeah my first gen Nexus 7 is still trucking along and working great. I use it every day. It's every bit as snappy as the various Samsung S3/S4/Note 3 phones that I've had in my home over the same time period. The note 3 I just got finally does move just a tad bit faster than the Nexus 7 1st...

    That's the nice thing about BBQ. It's not like they have to actually cook anything at all when you order it(other than maybe french fries). Everything at a BBQ joint is pre-made hours beforehand, and all of that type of food is perfectly fine served that way. Your meat of choice has already...
