If you are a Four Roses fan, and also like beer, try to get your hands on a bottle of Boulevard's Rye on Rye. This year they aged in in Four Roses Bourbon barrels. Very distinct bourbon/whiskey aftertaste. Here's my post about it in the beer...

If you really can't use a subwoofer and need to keep your volume down, why not invest in a really nice set of headphones(if you haven't already)? That's going to easily be a much better sound quality than some cheap speakers with no/little subwoofer use.

I know that was holding up the release of reliable 3rd party cables when the iPhone 5 first released, but I haven't kept up on the subject to see if 3rd parties have already jumped that hurdle or not. From the article I read about it a while back, a 3rd party cable "could" work for some...

Overclock that 3820! There's no point in using anything beyond the stock heatsink/fan if you aren't going to overclock. With a good water cooler(did you get an H100/H100i?) could easily push that thing to 4.5-4.875ghz Honestly, you may not see you max average FPS in games effected much from...

If I want to see a movie bad enough, I pay for it. Otherwise, Torrent. If I don't want to see a movie bad enough to buy a ticket for it, I don't want to even see it bad enough to leave the house

I'd support Hitler as my head coach if he took us to 4 straight BCS games with one of them being for the national championship

Many Oregon boosters want Chip Kelly gone http://www.usatoday.com/story/gameon...kelly/1780429/ Are they fucking insane?

Major loans, paid on time, will increase your credit the fastest (car loan, mortgage) You can also build it back up using credit cards, but you'll have to pay on them longer compared to a car/house loan to see the same improvement. Generally speaking, get 1 or 2 credit cards(secured if you...

I probably charge my Nexus 7 every 3 or 4 days. I don't use it a lot, just browing the web when I'm on the couch watching TV or something. So I probably get maybe 4-5 hours of use and the rest of the time is spent idle in those 3-4 days between charges. It does slowly drain even when the...

Curious why you feel that Micro USB "blows". Is it purely just because the plug only fits one direction, or is there an actual technology related reason why the lightning connector is superior?

Best chocolates I've ever had are from Christopher Elbow http://www.elbowchocolates.com/home.php most of their stuff is out of stock right now, just before Christmas, but that generally isn't the case any other time during the year. He only has 2 chocolate shops here in town, so he...

For Chocolate connoisseurs, is Russel Stovers actually a high-quality chocolate? The only reason I ask is that they are based here in KC where I live, so the stuff is EVERYWHERE, grocery stores, gas stations, Wal-Mart, etc. I just assumed it was a fairly generic, common chocolate, but that...

I've gone to a few shows alone, usually newer bands that my friends have never heard of and don't want to spend the money to go to. It's always easy to talk a bunch of my friends into going to see someone like Metallica or Foo Fighters, but not so easy to talk them into someone they have never...

Absolutely sick of this song, but the video is still awesome. Crank it up to 1080p and full screen, it's worth it.

I'm as big of an AIC fan as anyone(saw them twice with Layne back in the day, and now 3 times with the new lineup) and while the new music is good, every song just feels like it's missing something, and that something being Layne. No matter how good the new songs are, they always just feel...

Rumor of a $99 Nexus 7 tablet gaining some foothold, I've seen this reported several places now over the last couple weeks http://www.techspot.com/news/51149-g...-7-tablet.html If it's the current 16GB Nexus 7 for $99, that would be huge, they'll dominate the 7" tablet market and it wont...

I had comcast several years ago, same thing happened to me with their service. Always crapped out just long enough to disconnect me from whatever online game I was playing. Their techs came out time and time again and could never fix it. I had a feeling it was old coax somewhere along the...

Pretty much sums up the experience most people have with their cable company http://theoatmeal.com/pl/state_web_w...2/google_fiber

I'm not a fan of 3D at all until they figure out a way to do it without glasses(which apparently a few companies have, the tech just isn't on the market yet). I don't want to wear glasses to watch a movie, and I sure as hell am not going to wear glasses to watch TV at home. I saw it in IMAX...

So, you obviously aren't even remotely a fan of anything Tolkien-related, or maybe even the high fantasy genre in general, so why would you keep subjecting yourself to it? If I fell asleep during a movie I sure as hell wouldn't watch the sequel. That's just dumb. I don't watch movies that I...

If you know anyone that works for a school or university(or is a university student), they should be able to get a significant discount on most Microsoft products. I got my Win 7 ultimate from a friend that works in the IT department at a university for like $20 or something several years ago.

64 bit windows all the way You might have trouble finding Win 7 in retail stores anymore, your best bet might be somewhere that sells OEM copies of windows, basicaly most places that sell computer parts(Microcenter for a chain, or any number of mom & pop computer stores in your town, or...

The only way the story could have been even more hard core would have been if he had beaten someone to death with own severed arm as a club.

I find remote desktop programs via my tablet to work pretty well as long as you are just viewing information, or viewing files on the primary destkop, or basic copy/paste, or transferring files over a network. If you have to do a lot of input/typing, it's pretty damn tedious with a touchscreen...

No, you can't have a whole season of a show missing one of its most popular characters(short of killing them off permanently). Books 4 and 5 will have to be weaved together chronologically into a season or two, with probably some large chunks completely skipped that don't feature current (books...

Dragonlance series. Need some big-screen Raistlin. The only problem would be that it's a series that is heavy on the action and a little light on depth, so you'd spend a fortune on CGI battles with all sorts of monsters and dragons.

Or alternately, his inclusion was needed to help stretch a 300 page book into three seperate 2 1/2 hour movies.

Yeah its great, I spent a couple days last year uploading all of my 15,000ish mp3s to it, and now I have access to it wherever I go via my phone, tablet, ANY computer that I can log onto my google account, etc. I can't remember if there is a MB limit, or a # of files limit, but I didn't hit it...

As far as using the old ram + new, it should be fine as long as it is all the same voltage. Also with the new ram being ddr3 1600, if your old Ram is slower 1333 or something, it'll ALL run at 1333. I'd make sure the old ram is 1600 as well before re-using it with the newer ram. 12GB of 1600...

the i7 920 is still a solid CPU, and very overclockable if you haven't done that yet. You could easily take that processor up to 3.4-3.5 ghz on stock cooling, and with a $20-$30 aftermarket cooler, push it to 4ghz for a really nice performance boost. A basic cooler like...

I'd suggest that they should make a movie about it, but it's so insane that no one would possibly believe that it actually happened. Makes the stuff that happens in a Rambo movie look mundane by comparison.

thought this deserved more than a casual mention in the politics thread. http://www.cnn.com/2012/12/17/politi...uye/index.html From wikipedia: On April 21, 1945, Inouye was grievously wounded while leading an assault on a heavily-defended ridge near San Terenzo in Tuscany, Italy called...

Yep sorry, kept thinking Nexus 4, rather than 7. Thought I was in the Phone thread or something...bah To add to the conversation though, I have a 16 GB Nexus 7 and I really don't find the lack of an SD slot a big deal. Between Dropbox, Google Drive, Google Music streaming, etc, there isn't...

Wha? 8MP rear camera and 1.3MP front camera

Mini tower or mid tower? The link is a mid-tower case. All mid towers should have plenty of room for any video card that you get. A mini tower could be a completely different issue, those things are tiny. A mid tower case is going to fit a full ATX motherboard no problem, a lot of mini...

Honestly, if you think Oakleys are well made, you just haven't ever had any other brand of >$100 sunglasses. You're comparing their quality to cheapo gas station/wal mart sunglasses, which they are better than. Oakleys are made of cheap plastic(frames and lenses), they really aren't very...

Cancer can take anyone, at any age, at any time. My girlfriend that I dated our senior year in highschool and then we went to college together died from ovarian cancer when she was 23. She had been complaining of stomach pains for about a year, we were Juniors in college when it started...

I liked what they tried to do with the ending, but it was sloppy. How the hell is Carrie going to explain where she was for the day that she was missing? How is she going to explain that they never will find Brody's body? There were a LOT of recovered bodies there, I would imagine they can...

Now this is cool...e-ink screen on the back of the phone http://www.theverge.com/2012/12/13/3...tphone-android

That's a pretty good price. It's $85 per sixer everywhere around here
