translation: nintendo is hurting for money

I'd think the rice would work if you had the saws completely sealed in something that is air-tight(or close to it). If it's just a loose tarp draped over the top, that rice isn't going to work for long with constant, never-ending humidity. For comparison's sake, I had a cheap BBQ grill that...

http://www.news.com.au/business/brea...-1226641319565 Samsung claiming 5G will offer Google Fiber-like speeds over the air. Estimating availability in 2020(which might be well before most of us have access to Google Fiber, at the rate it's going)

I honestly don't understand how people afford to live in places like NY, DC, LA, San Fran, etc, with their insane cost of real-estate. I understand that salaries are higher in general than here in the midwest, but they aren't 5-10x higher, like the price of real-estate is 5-10x higher. My wife...

Wouldn't doubt it, I live in Lees Summit now, and I somehow find out that the city keeps Google out because of Time Warner/AT&T, I'l going to drive up to city hall and punch someone in the mouth. Worse yet is my friend that lives up in Pleasant Valley, the google fiber coverage map stops 1...

Battery life seems solid on the S4 so far. That's all with the screen at about 50% brightness, which is PLENTY as bright as the screen on this thing is crazy bright. 50% brightness on the S4 feels about the same as 100% brightness on my old S2. Most of that screen usage time was playing...

Good call on the blade sample pack. Everyones face is different and one blade that someone swears by might cut your face up like a cheese grater, never listen to anyones advice on blades. Try a bunch and use what you like. My only recommendation on blades is to switch them often. I change...

Google Fiber is finally picking up some momentum in Kansas City. From the time of it's initial announcement through the first year or so, no expansion plans were announced to spread out into the suburbs of KC. About 6 months ago the first suburb expansion was announced, and now all of a sudden...

That's a good deal, Microcenter hasn't had them that cheap since around Black Friday last year when I snagged mine. Been keeping an eye on them for a friend.

S4 or HTC one both blow away the iPhone 5. My brother-in-law has an iPhone 5, we were comparing it to my new S4 yesterday, and it just makes the IPhone 5 look old and dated. Looks like a phone from like 2-3 years ago honestly when sitting next to my S4 or even my wifes S3, just doesn't even...

Damn, I overshot my estimate of the total bill by a grand, lol.

He was right at 1150 grams at birth, they did administer 2 steroid shots for his lungs to my wife in the first 24 hours after she started having troubles, I assume that is the RDS(I wasn't in the room when the doctor originally explained all of that to catch the technical term for it). They did...

Good to know. I asked the guy in the Sprint store what they do if an HTC One is locked up and you need to force a reboot, and he had no clue, so I was a little wary of the possibility of not having that option.

Same here, I wasn't eligible until October, but I was adding a line to my family plan(for my mother who has no cell phone at all), so *yoink* new S4 for me, and my S2 becomes the hand-me-down. Also as of right now on Sprint, the HTC One was $199 and the S4 is $249 when adding a line/renewing a...

Picked up a Galaxy S4 today, really liking it so far. Played around with it, and the HTC One in my local Sprint store for quite a while, and while the HTC One felt nicer to hold with it's metal build, the Galaxy S4 just seemed like a significantly larger screen so I went with it. Not to...

That sucks man, don't worry about the money yet, just get better and get out of the hospital first and foremost.

So far so good. He's a week old today, or the equivalent of 31 weeks if he were still in the womb. He dropped about 10% of his weight over the first 4 or 5 days(which is normal) so he went from 2lbs 8oz to 2lbs 4oz. He gained an ounce the last day or two though, so he's finally going in the...

Are you estimating that the WHOLE bill will be 5-7k, or just your part after the (hopefully) 87% discount? I could easily see that as being your part, but that would be incredibly low for the bill as a whole. There's no chance that you can have an operation and a 4 day hospital stay for under...

We should take wagers on this one, assuming you are in the US, I'm going to guess a full bill of about 20 grand, so if you truly get 87% off, you should be looking at a bill of about $2600

Cedar is quite expensive compared to just using pressure treated lumber. Probably 2 - 3 times as much. So your deck raw material cost may be jumping from like $500 to $1500+ just from using cedar...might actually be closer to 2 grand considering the large amount of stairs.

Is there actually any AI in the game yet, or can you still just build residential zones endlessly with no need for commercial or industrial?

Sprint has unlimited data. Rant fail, i give it 2 thumbs down

Good luck, hope it goes smoother than our 30 week appointment last Thursday, that resulted in a baby by Monday, lol.

On my Ground Slam/Heavy strike Marauder, I really like using added fire damage, because that just adds more fire damage(a % of your physical), it's not taking away from physical damage to convert it to fire, its extra fire damage on top of your full physical. Obviously life leech is good once...

Yes, when we were first alerted to a possible blood pressure issue/pre-eclampsia 4 days ago, they went ahead and gave the steroid shot at that point. I'm sure it helped. Crazy thing is, things were looking great as recently as Sunday morning, BP was looking good, no problems, doctors were...

Well, that was fast. Baby was born yesterday, they had to do an emergency C-section due to moms rising blood pressure. 10 weeks early, we were right at 30 weeks. 2 lbs 8 oz, tiny little thing. Everyones doing great though, mom gets to go home probably at the end of the week and baby will...

The St Lukes hospitals in Kansas City. My wife actually ended up staying. The 24-hour urine collection ended up showing higher than acceptable levels of protein. Although so far, her blood pressure has been fine, she has no symptoms(no headaches, no cramps, no vision problems) and the baby is...

Yep, my dad has a lake house here in Missouri and a 24' pontoon. The thing is badass. It "might" go fast enough to pull a someone for waterskiing, but it probably wouldn't be too exciting. It's great for pulling a tube though, you don't need to go near as fast for that. In fact, it has...

So this is pretty fucked up, I'm sitting in the hospital right now with me 29?week pregnant wife. Here's how we got to this situation: She goes in for her general checkup today, and the doctor ends up sending her to the hospital for 24hour monitoring due to high blood pressure and the risk...

I like the SD slots just so I do have the option of buying the smallest storage version of a phone and then slapping in another 32 or 64GB myself. No point in paying an extra $100 or more for a phone that has 32 or 64GB built in if you have the option of adding that with an expansion card for a...

Also have an LG Plasma and I've never seen that. I don't watch hockey games but I've seen plenty of hockey highlights on ESPN, and that's never been an issue at all.

Well your assessment of the 2013 draft might be accurate if you never, ever consider any other draft in the history of drafts. Hell, why look at any patterns established by the previous 75+ drafts, I'm sure this one will be completely opposite for the first time ever

Come on now, Roethlisberger was drafted 11th overall in 2004. Hardly an underdog or late pick. While nothing is a sure thing, 1st round guys have a MUCH higher rate of being starters and even pro-bowlers than any round after them. Yeah, some flame out, but a much higher % make it from the...

The memory bandwith limitation on 660Tis is a total non-issue unless you're gaming at 1440P or above or across multiple monitors. A single 1920x1080(or1200) isn't going to come close to being limited by the memory bandwith on a 660Ti In fact, you're more likely to run into just pure...

I've had a LG Plasma for about 2 years now and my TV sits on ESPN for a good 10-12 hours a day on the weekends during football and college basketball season. If you're familiar with ESPN, they always have the same scroll graphic + logo across the bottom of the screen constantly. If I switch to...

Also curious about that. I'm sure it has to vary greatly depending on where you are geographically. I'm due to inherit a couple hundred acres of 99% wooded land when my father passes away, but theres really very little commercial logging done around here that I know of.

I'm sure that's a perfectly fine television, but quoting manufacturer contrast ratios is 100% worthless. Every company measures them differently and you can't compare them whatsoever across different brands. It might be a useful stat when comparing one Samsung vs another Samsung(for example)...

Just move. They're counting on people being lazy and just accepting the price hike. A lot of people threaten to leave/move and then never do, since that is an added expense as well. Call their bluff and don't give any more money to these shitbags.

27" 1440p IPS Monitor from Monoprice for $366, good deal if you don't want the risk/hassle of ordering via Ebay from Korea/overseas. Decent deal since you're getting from a US supplier with a 1-year warranty. http://slickdeals.net/permadeal/9420...40-led-monitor And the same item through...
