yeah, im kind of an impulsive/impatient person in general, the wait was brutal

This will definitely be handy for fixing the computers of inept relatives. Google Hangouts now has a remote desktop control feature. http://www.geekosystem.com/hangout-r...sktop-feature/

After 52 days in the hospital, our kid is coming home today. For those that don't check the pregnancy thread, he was born at 30 weeks due to preeclampsia issues, and has been in neonatal intensive care ever since, 7 1/2 weeks. Going to pick up mom and the kid here in a couple hours. Here...

Most people here do, but I'd say the average person here is WAY more tech savvy than your average human being. The unwashed masses just bend over and take it from Apple more often than not, and even thank Apple for it afterwards.

True, it's a shit brand but it puts us one step closer to someone decent (Samsung, LG, Panasonic, Vizio, whoever) coming out with a relatively affordable 4K device. Every little step helps.

I like how when Microsoft makes some sort of proprietary plug to fuck consumers everyone is outraged. When Apple does it every couple of years most people are like "well, they know what they are doing, they have their reasons" or "it's to help ensure you are getting quality Apple peripherals...

Its weird, Dunkin Donuts was big around here back in the 70s and early 80s, then they all disappeared for decades, and a couple just recently opened up in the last couple years again. We had a Dunkin Donuts drought for a good 25 years or so.

That's pretty crappy customer service. Anytime I've upgraded with Sprint, they mail me the phone and then I call them once I physically have it in my hands to swap everything over. I guess if nothing else, the new phone *should* be fully setup and ready for use when you receive it. That'll...

That's a shame, the world needs to know about Taco Johns meat & potato burrito (we used to just call them potato burritos). So good when you're drunk.

Looks like Baylor is the current reigning national champion...if the national championship were a title belt(like boxing) that you hold onto until you get beat, then it passes to the team that beat you. Started with Minnesota in 1936: http://i.imgur.com/7pe3HGi.png (huge pic, so didn't...

This could be international, not just considering Americans brand recognition, the article doesn't really say one way or another. That would probably change things a bit. The problem with Proctor & Gamble is that they own a TON of big companies, but you don't really see a product on store...

I've heard of Old Bay, but can't say that I've ever had it. Not that we have much seafood in the midwest, unless you count catfish.

I also have a hard time believing CAT over McDonalds for Illinois.

also, LOL @ Virginia

Apparently Rhode Island is Hasbro, and Hawaii is Hawaiian Airlines, FYI.

They're cultivating the next Doogie Howser

Yeah, Carrs, Albertsons, Peavey, Allsup's, & Ginos I have no clue. And I can't make out Hawaii or Rhode Island at all.

Do you agree with the choice for your state? http://www.businessinsider.com/the-m...y-state-2013-6

I've definitely witnessed that first hand. My aunt and uncle were both public school teachers for 40 years, so they obviously weren't getting rich. They bought their first house when they got married in 1970 for $8000. They lived in it until the day they retired a couple years ago. Sold it...

Looks like 4K TV might be affordable a little quicker than we all thought http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/25/s...4k-tv-for-699/

I wouldn't doubt it. Around where I live, pool season is only about 4 months, 5-6 tops if you have a heater. My parents have had in-ground pools in 2 different homes now, and they added absolutely zero dollars to the value of the home, and actually hurt a bit when it came time to sell since...

I think the problem with young people buying homes is that many expect to get out of school and then buy a house on par with the one they just moved out of from their parents home. Except their parents are 40-50+ years old and have probably owned and upgraded across multiple homes in the...

If you live in the Midwest(other than chicago) $2500 a month take home is easily comfortable. My wife and I have a modest, but comfortable home, 1500sq feet + finished basement(maybe another 700?), good school district in the 'burbs, big yard, etc, and our house payment is $870 a month(that...

PS4 controller is BIG

Some ideas in this thread from a while back: http://www.rerolled.org/showthread.p...rollers-for-PC

Make sure your monster cables are virus free!

If you do decide to buy, try to get as much information as you can from the sellers and your home inspector on exactly how old the roof, heating/AC, and appliances are in the home. Buddy of mine bought a house 2 or 3 years ago, it was a 15 year old home and pretty much everything was original...

dibs on the video cards

And you don't even have to be on WiFi if you turn the option on to just update regardless(assuming you have an unlimited data phone plan). Dropbox has easily uploaded 500MB+ HD videos via 4G. It might take 10 minutes depending on your signal strength, but there's apparently no size limit(that...

The Samsung stylus on their newer tablets is shockingly good. I fully expected to try it out once and never touch it again, but it's so damn good I'm using it all the time. I was completely surprised.

I came close to buying a home several times, but I never did when I was single, and I'm glad I didn't. While I lived in basically the same metro area the whole time, I moved 5 or 6 times in the 12 years between getting done with school and getting married. I'm in my mid 30s now, and just got...

A co-worker of mine once threw a fit at Subway because he ordered a footlong sandwich, half turkey, half ham, and they charged him for two separate 6-inch subs. Threw a HUGE goddamn fit to the point that he called the locations manager, and even the Subway corporate office until they apologized...

I do like some IPAs, and others I outright hate. I can usually tell if I'll like it based on if they used the word "hop" somehow in the name of the beer. If so, they went overboard on the hops and probably ruined it. The harder they try to make a witty hop-related pun for a name, the worse...

If it makes you feel any better, my relatives from Florida came to town last week and my dad took them to Red Lobster here in KC. Getting screwed by idiots who love chain restaurants works both ways. Also, your first sentence pretty much explains why everyone that actually lives here is...

Most larger cities will have several butcher shops. In fact, butcher shops are kind of becoming a very trendy/Hipster thing to open, they are popping up all over the place, they're almost like the cupcake shops of a couple years ago. I highly recommend getting your steaks(or any meat) from a...

No, not at all

I know this is the meat thread, but also try this for corn on the cob(this is my favorite side dish to grill along with steaks) When you set your steak out to come up to room temp about an hour before you grill, at this point slather your corn on the cob(fully shucked) in olive oil. Let that...

A raw chunk of iron ore, smithed by hand by a member of ABANA(Artists Blacksmiths' Association of North America) is the only thing that will be socially acceptable around here. And you better hope to god they use at least a 500 year old anvil, or else your (future) wife is a dumb whore. I...

So Kuerig's patent on their little K-Cup design expired late in 2012, companies don't have to license the KCup design to market and sell coffee for KCup brewers anymore. Now I'm starting to see some significantly cheaper KCup coffee varieties in stores that use their own design(usually more of a...

I was almost going to demand a picture, but then I realized I was asking another man for a pic of his meat. Nevermind
