Going back to the Fajita subject, I had maybe the best fajitas of my life last weekend. I typically order a combo fajita at most restaurants, either steak + chicken, or those two + shrimp as well. Well, a local place by me has a combo that is steak+chicken+shrimp+CHORIZO. Holy god, did the...

Looks like it's an HR22 actually. Old as shit I'd imagine. Ive had these boxes for probably 4 years now, and who knows how old they were before I even got them.

And now Seagate is crap...coincidence? I think not.

I did that about 6 months ago. My slowass DirecTV box took 75 minutes to reboot/download updates before it was usable again. Shit was ridiculous.

Unless you are building PCs for customers on a daily basis, none of us have seen enough of a sampling of hardware to make an accurate judgment call on failure rates. I've been building PCs for myself and friends for 20+ years, I've probably bought 30-40 video cards over that span(Everything...

Can someone quickly explain why the positioning of your buildings/rooms matter when clearing out the alien debris? I didn't think there was any difference where you build stuff once the rooms are cleared out.

Buy them an Ooma instead. VOIP phone, you pay for the initial box (around $60 on sale lately) and then all you ever pay again are the fees/taxes for phone service which in my city is about $3 per month. Unless Time Warner tries to give them the run-around that it's actually cheaper to bundle...

Rminds me of this:

To be fair, I think baseball is the one pro sport where you can be good, or even elite without being overly athletic. It's definitely more about the fine motor skills than pure athleticism. Football is probably 90% athletic ability and 10% skill(except for maybe QBs), while basketball(at the...

My DirecTV boxes are slow as holy shit now that I've had them for about 3 years. Channels take so long to change that my TV goes into sleep mode thinking there is no signal at all from the box. I'll literally stare at a black screen for 15-20 seconds sometimes when changing a channel. It's...

Cannavale and Ray Romano are great, so is Vinnie from Doogie Howser as the head of A&R Julie silver Richie kung-fu bitch slapping his partners was goddamned hilarious. Mick Jaggers son also plays a pretty good lead singer of a band(not shocking) I liked the 2nd episode more than the...

Truth Friends Dont Let Friends Get Married During Football Season. - Video Dailymotion

My mother has Time Warner Internet, and just got a notice in the mail last week stating that TW is raising their "modem rental fee" from $3.99 per month to $9.99 per month. Just ordered her one of these, because fuck that. Amazon.com: ARRIS SURFboard SB6141 DOCSIS 3.0 Cable Modem - Retail...

The thing is, seafood varies SO much that just saying "I hate all seafood" seems like a blatantly uninformed opinion. It's like the equivalent of saying "I don't like land-based meat" Shrimp is as different from crab is as different from salmon as beef vs chicken vs pork. I'm fine if...

Yeah, I'm on a map where the thing just warps inside a 2 story building and rapes my whole team from the windows while I can't do jack about it. Almost killed it once and then it split into two...and then killed one of those and then the one left split into 2 again. AAAARGH

I just started playing, is there any way to skulljack a captain or whatever for the quest requirement without getting skull fucked by the glowing yellow god of assrape that spawns?

That would be a relationship deal breaker for me about 2 weeks in,i don't know how you made it two years. He'll i almost broke up with a girl once because she hated the Smahing Pumpkins so much that i couldn't listen to them around her, and i like seafood 1000x more than Billy Corgan.

Lives like 15 minutes from an ocean...doesn't like seafood Christ It's like when I went to visit my relatives in Pensacola Florida(that don't like seafood, also WTF) and I told them I wanted to go to a good seafood restaurant while I was there and they drove me to a Red Lobster. Had to...

It sounds like you are going to have access to Boulevard seasonal beers (BBQuad, Imperial Stout). Keep an eye out for their Saison Brett, Rye on Rye, and Two Jokers, those are 3 of my favorite seasonal Smokestack series beers from Boulevard. Also Love Child if you like sours (I dont)

This will make two seasons in a row that the thread creator will predict the World Series champ correctly. Go Royals

You went to a pizza chain and ordered a burger?

A 970 would probably be 2.5-3x better framerate in games. I had SLI 660TIs and swapping out to a single 970 was just about a wash in performance (but without the SLI headaches) Seeing as how a single 660Ti would beat your 550Ti by a fair margin im pretty confident a 970 would be well over...

"thank you, that'll be $300 please" Being a home appraiser has to be a damn easy job

Actually, I don't know if it's the same supplier or anything, I just know they taste exactly alike. But to be fair, we have no Whataburgers at all in Missouri, so I've only had it a handful of times in my life while I've had Sonic somewhere in the triple-digit times.

Sonic Burgers are exactly the same as Whataburger burgers, FYI

my "Sandwich Artist" at Subway today asked me 3 times if I wanted my sandwich toasted, I replied "no thanks" to all 3, she even joked the last time saying "oh, I already asked you that didn't I?" She then stuck it in the oven toaster WTF lady?

my wife thoroughly enjoys the pretzel beer

I bet he's also a damn dirty vertical video taker

I'm late to the BBQ conversation here, but if everyone would just buy a bottle of this, they'd never, ever buy another BBQ sauce again Cowtown Night of the Living Bar-B-Q Sauce 18 oz. | The Kansas City BBQ Store It's amazing, and while spicy with a good burn it isn't uncomfortably hot...

That too. Everyone in my neighborhood has at least a 2-car garage, if not 3, and there's SHITLOADS of cars parked in the street. There might not be any cars at all for 10 straight houses, and then theres 2 cars directly across from each other, blocking 2/3 of the street like a 1-lane bridge.

Newp. There isn't a homeowners policy on Earth that is going to cover a collapsed retaining wall, or flood water in your basement(or cracks/foundation damage in your basement)

Next time I buy, I will go out of my way to buy a house that has an HOA My current neighborhood does not. I have a neighbor next door who set out 10 bags of leaves in October on their curb and they are still sitting there, rotted and spilling leaves at this point. My neighbor across the...

The slow-mo lighter catching fire and then blending into the next scene cut was the first point when I said to myself "hmm, Scorsese must have directed this", not having known that fact ahead of time.

Yeah I have to imagine that home loan lengths have increased over time. Hell, you can get 7 year car loans nowadays. 10-15 years ago anything more than 4-5 was unheard of, and 3 was still quite common.

Oh, I'm definitely aware of historical rates. My parents bought their first home in 1971 with an 18% interest rate, lol. Nowadays, thats like putting a house on a credit card. Ridiculous. Of course, the house was only like $30,000, so more like putting a car loan on a credit card for 30...

Is it? Because 5-6 years ago when my wife bought the home, her credit was only around what mine is now and she qualified for a 4.875% rate, which seems fairly bad(but maybe rates were higher back then?). I was just assuming if they used my 740-ish credit now, we still wouldn't get any better...

I was kind of afraid they would just take the lowest credit, and not do an average or something

Anyone know the ins and outs of mortgage rates vs credit ratings? I ask because my wife's credit is about 100 points higher than mine (hers is 830-840, mines like 740-750), but we both make roughly equivalent money, roughly 50/50 on our household income, so while we might qualify for a better...

That...was weird as shit. I have no idea what to expect out of this. It might be the greatest thing ever or it might be a pretentious mess of bullshit. I can't tell yet
