    Made this last night...shits absolutely amazing. http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/C...sagna-Roll-Ups The only change I made was I used a locally made spicy italian sausage instead of andouille sausage, and it was damn good. Still did all the cajun seasonings and stuff.

    SimCity

    Yep, I cant even play it. All the North American servers were full (queue times to try to join) so loaded up on a Euro server, and can't create a game at all. Just constantly get the "Unable to create your city at this time" error. over and over and over. Fuck EA, I knew I shouldn't have...

    Question using my TV as a 3rd monitor.......50 feet away

    What Video card do you have? HDMI should generally carry audio as well as video, unless the feature is turned off on your card for some reason. Might be as simple as changing a setting in windows or your video card driver suite to enable HDMI audio. That being said, that should get at least...

    Engagement rings

    My wife and I got married last year(1st for us both) and we're older (mid 30s) so we've both been living on our own for 10-15 years, so we didn't expect our parents to help pay for anything. We decided on a ring and wedding budget of around 10 grand(what we could comfortably spend out of our...

    Most people that spend a ton of money on a PC, do it thinking that it'll last them a lot longer. What I tried to convince a friend of once, who wanted to spend $3000 on a gaming computer build, is that no matter what you put in that PC today, all absolute top of the line stuff, it's going to...

    2013 NFL Offseason and Draft

    The Chiefs have very few skills players. Jamaal Charles is great, but you can't pound him for 300 carries a season, you have to have a servicable 2nd back to split carries. The Chiefs receiving core is absolutely dreadful. Dwayne Bowe has talent but he is also a fan of taking a lot of plays...

    My wife and I use our steam cooker quite a bit. It's similar to this: http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden...130301190153:s We do chicken breasts in it a lot, when we plan on using the chicken in other things like enchiladas, or soups, or shredded/cubed up for chicken salad, etc. Makes it...

    If you have a Microcenter anywhere near you, buy your CPU and motherboard there(in-store) You get a $40 or $50 instant rebate for buying your mobo and CPU together. Back around Christmas I bought an i5 3570k($169) and ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 mobo($99) for like $225 total. Their prices in-store...

    Pregnancy Thread

    Yep, pretty much every doctor we have seen so far has walked into the room, looked at our file, and replied "Oh, you're old". Blunt and to the point. My wife is 36(will be 37 by delivery date) and I'm 35, so they went over all the increased risks. It kindof scares you a bit when they first...

    You can use your existing drives, but you're pretty much going to have to reinstall Windows. Windows will NOT like being swapped into a new PC with a new motherboard. That's just WAY too much hardware to change to not cause Windows massive problems(if it even boots at all) As far as the...

    Easy way to get files back and forth from your phone to your computer

    Yep Dropbox or Google Drive. You can set up either to just auto-upload any pictures you take with your phone, and obviously you can send other file types to it as well. I have both Dropbox and Google Drive on all of my portable devices and computers.(My work computer for some reason...

    The problem I found with Moissanite is that she wanted to see one in person to make sure it didn't look significantly different than a diamond to the naked eye, and there was nowhere in my city that carried any jewelry made with them at all. So basically I ended up spending 2-3x as much on...

    In my experience, the battery issue isn't an Android thing across the board, it's more of a hardware design issue than Android software issue. Ive owned several Android phones and in general HTC had horrid battery life, and Samsung has very good battery life. My htc evo and evo 3d both had...

    Also had our 20-week ultrasound this past Wednesday. We're having a boy. It's our first kid. We're terrified, mainly because we're both older(mid 30s) and we've seen the chaos that most of our friends have already gone through long ago. I'd almost rather be young and dumb and have no idea...

    Lol Typical Mizzou. TJ Moe tearing up the WR measurables at the combine...well, all of them except speed & jumping(probably the 2 most important WR drills) #1 Bench #1 3-cone #1 shuttle(both 20 and 60 yard) Off-the-charts slow in the 40, 4.69. Some D-lineman ran faster than that.

    Anything you get coming from an Evo will seem like a miracle in terms of battery life. I still have my old EVOs(let the nephews play angry birds on them when they come over, so they don't screw up my good phone or tablet) and the things die from full charge in under an hour. The Evo was a damn...

    Design help for hammock pergola

    Get the portable one linked above. Depending on where you live and the time of year, time of day, etc the sun can be in different places. Being able to turn the thing 90 degrees if you need to so the sun isn't in your face would be damn nice. Chances are you might not want it in the same spot...

    This doesn't help you at all, since I can't run the same resolution, but here is where a 3MB 660Ti comes in on Ultra with 8x AA Thats at 1920x1200, running it 2x1 on both monitors at a resolution of 3840x1200 cuts the FPS damn near right in half, to like 18.1 FPS. Thats with my 3570K CPU...

    It's just a TV turned on it's side to be used in portrait mode(taller than it is wide) rather than landscape mode. That's actually a nice orientation for reading websites(think of your phone/tablet, it's set up with similar dimensions. Still though, if thats actually a TV and not a nice...

    the 7950 and the Geforce 660Ti are the 2 comparable products(based on price) and they offer fairly similar performance. The 7950 is better in some games/engines, the 660Ti in others. The main difference basically comes down to the 660Ti having a higher base clock speed, and the 7950 having a...

    That's the thing though, what do you do with that kickass display? Browse websites? You can't game on it, can't do anything productivity wise like photoshop where that resolution might be nice. I'm a HUGE google fan(own many android devices, a Nexus tablet, use Chrome, gmail, google docs...

    Picture is a few months old, but that is my basic setup. The 2 monitors are both 28" 1900x1200 monitors, bought them a couple years ago before those Korean monitors were really available(or at least before I knew about them). Right now I'm trying to decide whether to add a 3rd of the same I...

    If there was a Chipotle with a drive thru anywhere near me I would eat there EVERY. FUCKING. DAY The only thing that keeps me from going there for lunch half the time is the weather and not wanting to get out of the car(100 degrees in the summer, freezing in the winter, etc)

    HTC does build a damn nice phone, and their Sense software has always been top-notch. I just wish they didn't develop phones with battery life/power efficiency as the absolute last thing to consider. HTC has horrible battery life compared to similar-gen phones. They're kinda like the muscle...

    Chuy's is to Mexican food what Joe's Crab Shack is to seafood.

    I do like Arbys, but it has to be the most goddamn expensive fast food on the planet. A big roast beef sandwhich is like $6 by itself, no drink, no fries, nothing else. And its just plain meat on a plain bun, no bacon, no cheese, nothing else. 6 friggin bucks. It's *maybe* a quarter pound of...

    If you could make any one law legal.

    Best one so far. Also, eliminate income tax completely and just go with a flat sales tax. You want to buy a bunch of shit? You get taxed out the ass. You want to save/invest your money? Tax free growth. Might hurt the economy a bit initially, but as the wealth of the middle class grows...
