Minor nitpicks aside, it's a damn fun movie. After reading some initial early reviews I was almost concerned that we had another Star Wars Episode I on our hands. Thankfully, it's much better than that travesty of cinema was.

Oh, nothing at all, I think it was just taking them a while to reverse-engineer it when it first came out.

The only people we have insured that have $0 deductibles are a few people who live out in the country on gravel roads, lots of windshield chips/cracks. They turn in glass claims at least once a year. Honestly though, if you turn in too many claims, even not-at-fault claims, you're going to...

Yup, gotta find that sweet spot of deductible vs premium. I carry $250 deductibles. Just going down to $100 was like an extra $100 premium per year, and since i have a claim on average of maybe once every 5 years since i started driving, I'd rather save more money with the lower monthly...

The 20g of protein in the Costco bars are about the most I've seen in store-bought bars that are the size of a standard granola bar. They are also only about $1 apiece. I think the 18 pack is around $16

I buy the Pure Protein bars from Costco. That's my breakfast everyday at work, stash a box of them in my desk. You get 18 bars in a box, 6 each of 3 different flavors, like chocolate chip, chocolate + peanut butter, & chocolate delux the nutrition on each bar is roughly 200 calories(45...

Yes edit - damnit, Sterling beat me to it

How long ago was it? My company pays non-depreciated claims as long as it is within 1 year of the incident date.

Ah yep...damn confusing numbering systems. Kinda funny that ATI/AMD is now using number sytems similar to what Nvidia did a decade ago, 7000 series, 8000 series coming next year, etc. confusing as hell.

My next door neighbor is a single girl, has to park in her driveway because her 2-car garage is full of so much shit. I see her out there in the winter scraping the ice off her windshield. If you're single with a normal sized home and you STILL have to fill up the garage with shit, you have...

I haven't had to bust out a snow shovel in almost 2 years now in Kansas City. Longest stretch of my 35 year life without a snow that was more than an inch or two. I almost bought a snowblower 2 Winters ago, because it and the one before it were SO bad. Glad I didn't.

I don't heat my garage, but since it is well insulated it's probably never below 40 degrees in winter or above 90 degrees in summer. The rest of the house attached to it and above it keeps the temp fairly regulated. A detached, stand-alone garage probably gets damn hot or cold, but still not...

Shows that Apple users care more about other people knowing that they own an Apple than what they actually need it for

Yeah my heated leather seats get really warm well before my engine even warms up enough to start blowing warm air during the Winter. My vehicle has black leather interior, and I've never noticed it to be uncofortably hot during the summer. It's not like oldschool vinyl seats that they put in...

I'm under the impression the insurance was willing to pay, minus the $500 deductible, and he chose to do nothing since he didn't even want to pay the deductible out of pocket to have it fixed(wasn't worth $500 to him) That being said, as long as you own your car outright(no lien holder) you...

I never had any issues running PoE on my old crossfired 4870s, at max settings at 1920x1200. those video cards are still going to be better than what you would find in any low to midrange laptop though. It's probably going to take a pretty decent laptop to run the game well. I find it hard to...

Hey Enzie, here's another good laptop option, just saw this on Slickdeals today http://www.frys.com/product/7344754 Basically the same as the refurb Asus linked earlier, only it's Lenovo and not a refurb. Damn nice machine for slightly under $400.

You really can't go wrong with an SSD, it'll always be damn useful, I just have a feeling they are going to keep dropping pretty drastically in price like they have been for the last 6 months. I'd hate to see you spend $320 or so on a 512GB drive if it ends up being $100 less than that in 2-3...

My opinion on video card upgrades always comes back to what resolution you are gaming at? If you are at 1920x1080 or below, Id probably stick with the 570 for a bit longer. Very few games currently are going to use more than 1gig of video ram at 1080p resolution and below. The further over...

Just for reference, I'm an insurance agent licensed in Missouri and kansas. There is no "act of god" clause or anything of that sort. Every possible type of damage to your car either falls under comprehensive or collision, and none of it waives/excuses your deductible. The only way to ever...

Yeah the 3570k is definitely the best balance of price/performance right now. Can't beat a sub-$200 processor that can easily be bumped up by about 500mhz on stock cooling and a good 1ghz more with a fairly cheap after-market cooler.

http://wikitravel.org/en/Americans_in_Cuba also Sounds like a pain in the ass

What exactly does a steam cleaner do to a car, other than maybe clean the upholstery if you have cloth rather than leather seats? Curious why you are apparently using it on the engine.

For anyone interested, here is the year-end CPU roundup from Tomshardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ison,3370.html 3DMark(gaming estimation) specifically:

Get a SSD as your boot drive and go up to 12 gigs of DDR3 1600 RAM and call it good. Those are the only 2 upgrades I would consider that would give a noticeable performance boost. Your 670 is obviously still great, and an i7 920 is still perfectly servicable CPU, especially if you overclock...

The one I bought on Craigslist pretty much had to be stolen. Guy on the phone asks me how many I want...Uhh, I just want one for $250. No idea how many he actually had. Meet him in a parking lot and the van he drives up in isn't worth as much as the chair is at full price. Was brand new...

Ass cushion doesn't smell like ass after years of farting in it Good chair

I wonder when NFL teams are finally going to admit that QB height is something that should barely even be considered. There's hardly any advantage that a 6'4" QB has over a 6' QB. Neither can see over the top of their lineman, most NFL Offensive lineman are in the 6'3 - 6'8" range nowadays +...

Blatantly stolen from Reddit, but worth it

When I used to buy Oakleys back in the 90s I used to always chuckle at the little claim in the booklet that came with them stating "will stop a shotgun blast from 20 feet" or something of that sort. That's all well and good, but what is the rest of your face/head going to look like? lol.

I'll 2nd the mesh chair recommendation. I bought a Herman Miller Aeron off of Craigslist(normally retail for about $700, got it for $250 new on Craigslist), and it's the best chair I've ever owned.

Can't recommend Microcenter enough for buying your processor + motherboard, if you live near one. Regardless of what you buy, and how much they cost, you get a $40 instant discount for purchasing a processor+mobo together from them. Not to mention they generally sell processors dirt cheap for...

Dedicated graphics in a laptop aren't going to be significantly better than the 4000 integrated graphics until you start to get in the $600+ range. You won't find any dedicated graphics that are very good in the $300-$400 range, might as well just use the passable integrated. The Intel HD 4000...

Thats a good price for a laptop with the 4000 series graphics

Look for anything based around an intel i3 or i5 processor with Intel HD3000 integrated graphics. I would recommend the better Intel HD4000 graphics which comes with the newer ivy bridge processors, but I'm not sure you'd be able to find a 4000 and stay close to $300 Basically, the older...

That's exactly what Oakleys are though. They are basically Ray-Ban lenses in a different shaped frame, and marked up 100% over what they should cost. Oakleys are the Bose of sunglasses. Their price tag makes people think they are quality, rather than their quality justifying the price...

Tubrografx CD bitches: The intro blew my mind back in the day. Went straight from NES to this:

Not enough Rancid "Let's Go" is easily one of my top 10 favorite albums of the 90s(any genre)

Hell of a win for Mizzou over Illinois tonight. Damn tough game, almost had a couple different fights break out. Very physical game, bodies were flying everywhere all game long. That, combined with how Kentucky has looked so far this year and the fact that K-state is crushing Florida so far...

And if you happen to eat something in KC that isn't BBQ, then it must be Grinder's http://www.grinderspizza.com/ Chili cheese tater tots on a pizza. It's as amazing as it sounds. Also they have a concert venue out back, I've seen the Black Keys, Avett Brothers, Wilco, Ween, Snoop...
