This whole season has been a total crapshoot for just about everyone. Every team has looked like total dogshit multiple times this year, but I'm always leery of Kentucky, Uconn, and Michigan St come tournament time. They seem to almost always play above their seed. I'm always curious as to...

RIP Humanity CNBC - robot says she wants to destroy humans

I've definitely had to remedy that. I still eat out pretty much every weekday for lunch at work, but I'm trying to be more reasonable with it. No more taco bell & burger king, sticking to stuff like turkey subs and grilled chicken sandwiches. I've only had 1 soda in the last 2 months as well.

Had a good workout routing going(mostly cardio on my elliptical) for about 2 straight months, was down about 25 lbs. Then I damn near break my toe when I almost fell down our stairs, it's not broken but its sprained pretty bad(swollen, black&blue, etc) and now I haven't been able to work out in...

I'm a little skeptical of this claim, but I guess it makes some sense... Closing Apps to Save Your Battery Only Makes Things Worse

That's pretty typical. My kid started pulling up on things (ottoman, his crib, chairs) and standing at about 10 months, and could walk while holding on to something, or pushing something like a laundry basket around on the carpet at 11 months, but he couldn't walk at all on his own until after...

if I'm that coworker they are staying with, I'm telling them to go get an apartment. I've never had a coworker I've liked enough to let them stay with me for a year

I'd do it in a heartbeat if I wasn't waiting on my Google fiber install. I pay $120 a month for DirecTV and that's with no premium movie channels. Google Fiber's TV service is only $60 per month, so at that point I'm weighing $60 vs $45 for Vue so I probably won't bother with Vue(unless Google...

Big news for cord cutters. Playstation Vue went live today with 3 different channel packages for streaming, priced at $30, $35, and $45 per month, with a shitload of channels PlayStationNetwork INcluding a LOT of sports channels in the $35 package, all the ESPNs, Fox Sports, most of the...

Roundup pretty much just kills where it is applied. .i.e. a 6-inch diameter spraying of Roundup will annihilate anything in that 6 inch radius but it won't kill much outside of there. It's very easy to use for spot spraying weeds with a small, focused stream of spray with little collateral...

Are you going to plant something in their place or do you just want them dead and gone? If you just want them gone, use some bigass pruning shears or tree trimming shears to cut them down as low to the ground as you can and then Roundup the shit out of the stumps, they won't come back...

I'm officially on the North Carolina bandwagon. fuck kansas, fuck duke, fuck the big 10. Let's go Carolina!

Easily the best episode since the 1st episode of this half-season. Carol is awesome. So, are we convinced that the motorcycle guy was actually Negan, or was that just part of the "we're all Negan" ploy that one of the woman captors mentioned? Is Negan possibly not a person but a place, or...

That's crazy. And I'd bet a $500 surround-in-a-box system would sound better...

So I finally finished the game on the standard difficulty(veteran?). I never messed with any psi-troops at all during the game, but holy god the captain dude in the last mission is a killing machine. Is a maxed out psi troop comparable or is the main character in the last mission just a beast...

Yeah, if on a scale from 1-10, your TV speakers being a 1 and a good 5.1 or 7.1 surround system is an 8-10, a good soundbar is about a 3. They're definitely better than TV speakers(which are shit nowadays on flatscreens, and generally put out sound sideways, behind your TV rather than forward...

Live news and live sports have been the big hangups for cord cutting for a while now. Sling TV helps in that it has Espn channels and CNN bus that's pretty much it. You need an HD antenna to get local channels for local news and local sports (NFL) and you still won't have access to a lot of...

We go through a bag of those every month in my house. Basically everything i cook that is chicken related is either the frozen breasts from Costco or Costco rotisserie chicken. Costco is chicken Valhalla.

An old couple met in a nursing home. Each of them were widowers, having recently lost their spouse prior to moving into the home. Being lonely, the developed a friendship and eventually the topic turned to sex. Neither of them had had sex in a long time and were not sure they were even capable...

Yeah, and Forbes magazine online is rapidly approaching Buzzfeed levels of journalism. Their online site is mostly bloggers that write opinion pieces but try to pass them off as fully researched, investigative articles.

Surely someone who is spending $10,000+ on a home theater setup will have it professionally installed & calibrated...

Found a good app comparison list across Apple/Roku/Amazon/Chromecast/Android TV What you can watch on Apple TV, Roku, Fire TV, Chromecast and Android TV - CNET

Interesting. The Amazon Fire stick has an entire app store as well. I have my Plex app that I stream 1080p video with no issues from my media PC, it even has games, etc. Apple TV may be a completely different beast, as I have never owned an Apple product so I have no familiarity with it at...

I'm curious why you would recommend a box device? I haven't turned my Roku on in a year or more since I got my Chromecast/Fire Sticks

But this is the GOOD time change where it'll actually still be light out when I get home from work.

My service is all above ground (telephone pole in the far corner of my backyard connects to a pole/antenna thingy above my roof before coming down the back of my house to the meter box. I'll just have to call around for some quotes, but I'll probably just say "screw it" if it's closer to the...

I loved my Chromecast when it first released, but I never use it at all anymore. Amazon Firestick all the way(doubly so if you are an Amazon Prime subscriber)

Hey Erronius, Any clue in what ballpark I should expect to pay to upgrade our house from 100 amp service to 200 amp service? Am I stupid to think this is something I could have done by an electrician for $1000-$1500?

I'm terrible when I'm building with a starting budget in mind I'll look at one part...and then rationalize that the next step up is only $30 more... then another part and the upgrade is only $50 more... and once I go through my initial budget build I'm all of a sudden spending double what I...

Rubik's mom is so fat that she gives her email to everyone in the hopes of getting free spam

Any time I return something to Amazon i get a notice that my refund has been processed and credited back to my card within an hour of dropping off the box at my local UPS store. Awesome indeed. There's a reason they are putting big box stores or of business and is not just purely pricing.

He almost has to be outside the US, all of those prices are way too high to be US prices.

Rubik's momma is so fat and dumb that she tears apart computers looking for cookies

Door to door roofers are horrible. I'm in insurance and I've seen so many horror stories with people using a roofer that just knocked on their door. Good local roofers will stay busy enough that they don't need to go door to door. A lot of those guys are also storm-chasers that aren't even...

My wife actually let a door-to-door window salesman into our home to give us a quote on new windows. It's something we had maybe randomly mentioned in passing a few times over the years, but nothing we were actively shopping for. I want those 2 hours of my life back.

That's usually the problem with beer festivals that have an "all you can drink" ticket. You usually get 4oz pours after standing in line for 20 minutes. You almost have to get your beer, and then go stand in another line while you drink it. I've never been to a beer festival that had an all...

Yeah, do you have a video card in your current PC that can get you through for a couple months? The new Pascal cards are supposed to be formally announced in April with most of them being available to puchase by June. We're really, really close to them. At the very least, it should make...
