    Onoes made a lan party desk and wants to sell it.

    If you live in a decently sized city, check with your local arcade bars. Bars/tap rooms with arcades (usually old, classic games) are becoming all the rage and one of those places may love to have something like this, since it can play old games pretty well. Set it up for some Starcraft or...

    A Freedbirds opened here about 2-3 years ago, and it already closed down. The Chipotle entrenchment is signifiant. We don't even have any Qdoba or any other burrito places, just Chipotle alone ran Freebirds out in a hurry. I ate there a couple times, it's basically the same as Qdoba. More...

    I actually went electric, because I never plan on doing anything more in depth than cleaning our patio & siding(and maybe cars). I don't need to strip paint or anything crazy like that. Getting a battery powered weedeater was the best thing I ever did. I hate starting small-engine gas...

    I've never been to quite a few of those...but once you narrow it down to the Sweet 16 I think the only ones I've not tried is Smoekbox and Fireside. LCs has advanced WAY too far, I don't like them much at all anymore. The quality of their meat is horrendous. Last time I got burnt ends there...

    I bought a power washer last week. Holy god I love this thing. Our back patio is all concrete & stone, and hadn't been cleaned in at least the 5 years we've lived here(and probably a lot longer than that) Shit looks brand new again, I had no idea it was even as dirty as it was. It was just...

    What would burn while frying...the oil/butter? I cooked my salmon in butter on medium, not even a hair towards medium/high, just straight up medium...still hot enough to sizzle and brown, but not hot enough to burn the butter. Most oils(other than olive oil) you can push a little further...

    Alternately, you can do chili cheese tots with jalapenos and sour cream. I usually skip the sour cream because I don't need that extra 200 calories on top of the 3000 I already ingested. You gotta have limits.

    The one saving grace of Famous Daves is that they had BBQ sauces from pretty much every major nationally known BBQ place. They had like 30 different sauces to choose from, including from local competitors like Gates, Arthur Bryants, etc. I thought that was fairly unique.

    Mechanical Keyboards

    I've seen plenty of sites where you can have custom key caps made, even large ones that span what would be multiple letter slots. Problem is, they aren't a temporary solution that just slides over the existing keys, you'd have to constantly be pulling out the key caps you don't want, replacing...

    I cooked some salmon in my cast iron pan last night and it came out great. Had 3 filets from Costco, each probably 4-5oz in size, and none of them had the skin on. Just put about 1tbs of butter in the pan(and another 1/2 tbs when I flipped them) and I had no issues with anything sticking...

    UCONN Women right now are basically UCLA Men of the 1960-70s.

    I liked it, but it has a REALLY strong paprika flavor. If you like paprika you'll like it, if you don't like paprika stay far, far away. Had decent heat, was hotter than a Wendys/Chick-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich, but its still just "fast food hot", nothing that stays with your for long.
