    This week's episode of The Soup, Joel McHale made probably 3 or 4 mentions of how he's so lucky that he's got another show to fall back on. Followed by a sad look and, "Oh, wait..."

    Everquest II

    Pretty annoyed with this. I mentioned I started it back up, I believe I was a 78 necro when I did. I hit 90 and noticed that I wasn't gaining experience anymore. Turns out that level 95 is reserved unless you bought Chains of Eternity. Except you can't even buy Chains of Eternity, you've got to...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    I really enjoy this. Wish I would have taken the plunge a long time ago. My only complaint is I seem to get a shit load of bad downloads (whether that means incomplete files or password protected). It's literally like 50% of them. That was with Newztown (thanks Crone!), Wombles, and Oznzb as...

    is there such thing as an air conditioner that doesn't need to vent?

    I've been in the desert for about 2 years now. Swamp coolers are fucking awesome. It uses almost no electricity (it's basically just a giant fan on the roof) and maybe a few gallons of water a day. It's cheap as fuck, overall. It was 100 yesterday and my house was about 72-73. I guess that's my...

    Browns released Greg Little today (after signing Miles Austin). That sure was a worthwhile pick.

    I don't normally listen to Rick Ross, but this song is really, really fucking good.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Nah. That's two huge mistakes in one. Cheating on my wife, and with someone at work on top of that? Even if I weren't married, I wouldn't screw around with a coworker. There was some flirtation, which probably made her comfortable enough to tell me shit like that. But nothing more than that...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Talking to her during the workday was just a way to kill time at work. We didn't socialize outside of work at all. I think I learned an important lesson about distancing myself from my coworkers though.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I haven't been in this thread in months. I should preface this by saying I'll have been married 10 years in August. But Onoes' new chick sounds like this girl I work with. This girl is 25 years old, single mom, and has a 4 year old. She ended up dating a guy we work with about 2 years ago...

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    That's funny, because several years ago I noticed that my brother-in-law would smoke something and use tons of foil. I always thought it was ridiculous how much foil he used. Sure enough, I got a smoker and now I go through rolls of foil like a conspiracy theorist. It's crossed over into...

    Yeah, that's what I've found. The only people I know IRL that are on usenet are on nzbs.org, and apparently they're completely locked down right now. Not really sure where to go, but it's kind of shitty that there's not really any option.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    That's all good advice. I was thinking it'd be decent to invest in, but after thinking about what you've said, it really makes little sense compared to other investment vehicles. Especially as a minority owner and not really having any say in the business decisions. I didn't realize that I...

    That tribal was hilarious. Even Jeff couldn't stop laughing. And yeah, I'm good with whoever wins. Kass obviously won't. I've watched enough to see that everyone hates her (at best she could get maybe 2 votes). Spencer is probably the most deserving, but I feel like a lot of it has been luck...

    I think I played for maybe 2 weeks. Really lost interest quickly in this one. But I have the collector's edition since I got it for like 400 pesos or whatever. Might give this a shot.

    Cool, I won't worry about it then. I just realized almost all the responses in this thread had been from 2013 until the last few. What indexers do you all use? Right now I just hopped on binsearch and manually downloaded. Hopefully I can figure out Sickbeard shortly and get an indexer that...

    NZBMatrix is dead. What now?

    I'm going to finally take the plunge from torrents to usenet this weekend (got two DMCA notices from HBO). I think I'm going to go with Tweaknews, but I was wondering about payment. Do any of you use a credit card for your usenet provider? I'm wondering if I'm being overly paranoid, or if I...

    All this drink talk reminds me of the Sonic Twizzler slushie. It only lasted like maybe 6-12 months, but that thing was amazing. I guess it didn't do very well though since they got rid of it. Fucker tasted like liquid Twizzlers though.

    Not sure I've ever had a Sonic milkshake. That said, dogs fucking obviously love ice cream. My dog and my brother in law's both wouldn't touch Sonic's ice cream. They literally sniffed it and just wandered off. It was baffling, but it doesn't lead me to believe that their ice cream is worth a...

    NFL 2014 Off-Season Thread

    I wonder when they'll announce who will be on Hard Knocks this year? I googled it and the first thing I saw was that the NFL wasn't going to force any teams to do it. My reaction was just, "Fucking hell," as I figured that meant no one this year (after last year was such a struggle to find a...

    That just seems like a lot of work for what's supposed to be "easy to make" bread. I've been on a bread making kick (by hand, no bread maker or even mixer) over the last month, and the worst part is waiting for stuff to rise. That takes rising bread to the extreme. So far I've made challah...

    I'm not Googling it, but I swear I've read that the producers even told potential new viewers to skip season one because they didn't feel like it represented their show.

    Media servers

    I use XBMC on the main living room TV, where we watch movies and generally care about HD shows. In the other room where we basically just use the TV for the elliptical, I have Plex (it's a 32 inch TV I believe) via a Roku.

    California trying GPS-tracking mileage tax for 2016

    I'm assuming this is basically to skirt around the fact that as vehicles get higher mileage, tax revenue decreases? I'd be more ok with this if they got rid of the current fuel taxes, but it sounds more like this would just be in addition to. I'd never be totally ok with this though. Fuck...

    I read that a theory going around why more young people are getting shingles is the chickenpox vaccine. Kids don't get chickenpox anymore, so adult immune systems never get a jolt to build more antibodies for it. Without being exposed to chickenpox again, younger adults are more susceptible to...
