    Thats exactly what the Arbys shake tasted like...a normal shake with artificial pumpkin spice creamer mixed in. I guess maybe thats ok for a milkshake, I mean you can't really make a milkshake too chunky by putting an actual piece of pie in it. What makes the Freddys concrete so great though...

    You possibly didn't have something set up correctly. Nothing should have seemed stretched, if you were running the correct resolution on your programs. It almost sounds like you were taking a 1920x1080 resolution game/program and then just stretching it to fill the monitor. Nothing should...

    I wouldnt buy any 4k TV today in the hopes of their being content for it in 3+ years. In 3+ years you can probably buy a much better 4k, for cheaper, with newer features that you would want(that may not even exist now) Don't try to plan on a TV lasting you 10 years...it'll be horribly...

    Good TV review site Best picture quality 55 inch TVs of 2015: Reviews Can sort by size, usage(games, movies, sports, etc) Just keep in mind that they *only* list the top 30 reviewed TVs in each category, so the TVs at the bottom aren't bad by any means, they just aren't the absolute...

    So I think I got a hold of a box of defective razors. I've been using Feather razors for a couple years now. I'm currently on my 3rd pack of 100 razors(change my razor every 3 or 4 days). When you buy them by the 100, they come in a big long box filled with 20 5-packs of razors. The...

    Cyber Monday itself is usually pretty anticlimactic, but there are almost always some pretty crazy sales that just randomly happen throughout the month of November, and early December. Put a build list together of what you roughly want, at the price you want it, and start checking Amazon...

    I think the true "blue blood" programs are the ones that sustain a high level of success across multiple coaches, to where it's truly more about the school/reputation than the coach at that instant. If your program has multiple national championships from multiple coaches, then you're there...

    Fallout 4

    Oh shit...I didn't realize each workbench/location had it's own inventory (unless you connect them with supply lines later on). I just figured it was one big shared inventory/bank and had been dumping all my excess crap at each workbench as I come across them in various locations...

    Fallout 4

    I'm good with that. I'd happily pay $60 for a Fallout 3 mod with updated graphics that adds 50+ hours worth of side quests and locations, so this game works great for me. The graphics definitely could be better though. After spending a lot of time with Witcher 3 in the past several months...

    I'm not super handy, but I've replaced a toilet, and also a kitchen faucet, surely the disposal will be easier than either one of those projects(not that those were very hard)

    Chromecast - the new Google TV

    Hulu only streams in stereo sound, whether on Chromecast, the Hulu website via a web browser, or whatever. No clue why they don't upgrade their sound, but it's been 2-channel stereo only from Hulu for years now.

    That's exactly my Pc. I have an i5 3570k and a Qnix 27" 1440p monitor. I bought a 970 about a year ago now and it runs everything great. Never notice a single bit of stuttering in Witcher 3, GTA 5, or any other new, high-end games. 970 runs them all like a champ on ultra settings. I won't...

    Mainly because the 2000s sucked ass in almost every way possible, no one wants to remember them. Music went to shit (rock died, nu-metal rap/rock and emo crybabies took over, country and pop music went to shit where you can't have a hit song unless you look like a model) TV went to shit...

    I don't think they have hard and fast limits, but I think a few casinos now print on their receipt something to the effect of "thank you for limiting your dining experience to 2 hours", but I doubt it's strictly enforced. They probably don't say anything unless it's getting ridiculous, like...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Reminds me of the Simpsons episode where the trash is so full that Bart keeps throwing his banana peel on top, it keeps falling off, so he finally just staples the peel to the side, rather than taking the trash out.

    Service Providers (Internet, TV, Etc)

    The real question is, why in the world would you have ever switched away from gigabit service with no cap for $65 per month? That's a ridiculously good deal that basically no cable company can even hope to compare with. Around here, both Time Warner and Comcast charge ~$70 a month for...

    Speaking of which, had a conversation the other day with some guy at my job who is probably in his mid 20s. The subject of video games came up and I asked him what types of games he likes. He says "MMOs", which piqued my interest. I say, oh yeah what do you play, to which he replies "well...

    Car Buying Help

    Just FYI for any of you that elect to get loan GAP insurance on a new car loan, it's almost always cheaper to get it through your car insurance company than your loan/finance company. I usually see paperwork adding $500-$1000 for loan gap coverage through a finance company or bank(5 year...

    If nothing else, it'll be an indication on whether the NCAA officially considers Louisville a blue blood program or not. Something like that happens at kansas, Kentucky, Duke, or North Carolina(hi2u widespread academic fraud) and absolutely nothing would come of it. It happens at a small...

    Ohio States opponents so far this year are something like 33W-39L overall, and the record is only that good mainly thanks to Northern Illinois and Western Michigan each being 6-3. I don't know that anyone in a P5 conference has had an easier schedule than that so far

    Ro-tel is a brand of canned tomatos that has a small amount of onions & green peppers mixed in, and I think a small amount of some mexican chili seasoning, because you can get "hot" rotel and it definitely has some heat to it, it's more than just pure tomatoes/onion/green pepper. It's still...
