Doing some theory crafting and getting up to speed on newer gear and a question came to mind about the Thermaltake Tower 300 case. All of the reviews and builds I've seen use 420 rads on AIOs since the case will fit one on the right side. In order to do that the radiator is mounted with the...

I had a couple of cheap Amazon Basics soundbars in my living room and bedroom. It was time to replace them so I bought two Sony HT-S400 2.1 channel systems and set them up last night. These have the wireless subwoofer that connects via Bluetooth and they're both connected to their respective TVs...

Front page of CNN right now. Clearly criticizing the ultra-liberal administration and their incessant lies. This is something Fox News, OANN, Newsmax etc. never did during the prior center-right administration. Proof positive that CNN is much more unbiased than any of those other news sources...

I've been using a headless Unraid setup for several years now, primarily as a local Plex server. The hardware has started to crap out (old AMD Athlon proc) so I stepped up to something a bit beefier. On some recommendations I ended up with 2 Xeon 5670s and a Supermicro X8DT3-LN4F board. I...

I don't know what's better, that his "Best and Brightest" legal team got out maneuvered by a pro se plaintiff or that one of the precedential cases cited against him was his own. https://www.yahoo.com/news/judge-says-trump-campaign-screwed-wording-confidentiality-agreements-025613573.html

I have a cheap Seiki SE42UMS 4K TV. It has been hooked up to a Roku 1 for a while. I finally decided to upgrade the Roku as it was struggling with the BR movies on my NAS. I got Roku Premiere. The Roku seems to not like the TV. After a little while, an hour or so, the screen starts blinking in...

Apparently now it will be even better. Trump plans to live tweet during the Comey hearing. https://www.yahoo.com/news/donald-trump-apos-plans-live-171348206.html Never mind if this is what a President should be spending its time doing, this is just going to be ridiculous meltdown theater.

Venting just a bit, but man Costco can be frustrating at times. I went with my family Wednesday night because we needed some staples (milk, eggs, bread). While there the fam notices a waffle iron on sale and they mention how they'd all like to have one for weekend breakfasts. I laughed it off...

Looking to resume my career after taking some time off to help my wife's business. A friend refers me to a local insurance-related company that's looking for an accountant. I have 10+ years in insurance, a master's degree in an accounting related field, several years of insurance accounting...

I know the principle of this has been covered many times and I'm not looking to rehash those discussions. I am looking for practical advice. My son and I enjoy playing PvZ Garden Warfare, which I have on my PC through Origin. He's young, so KB+M can be difficult for him. I just suck, I have...

Building a new PC, first time doing something other than a budget computer. I'm using a Corsair Carbide SPEC-01 ATX mid-tower case (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139041). There are five fan slots: 2 in the front, 2 on top and 1 rear. Case comes with a 120mm fan in...

http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/21/news/companies/buffett-ncaa-bracket/index.html?iid=Lead All you have to do is fill out a perfect NCAA tournament bracket and Quicken Loans will give you $25 million per year for 40 years, or a $500 million lump sum payment.

My coworker, used to be my boss, was murdered last week. They just found his body yesterday. I won't post links, it's on fonxnews, yahoo, and huffpo, so it's not hard to find. He'd been missing for a couple of days, and I guess I knew this was the inevitable result. He had a big heart, was...

So I'm in DC for work now; I've been here about a week. This is the first night that I haven't gone out boozing. I decided I wanted to spend a night relaxing in my room. I'm flipping through the TV channels and I notice that News 4 (NBC I think) is showing a helicopter shot of a dark outdoor...

I hate clueless marketing people. There's this somewhat new movies out called "Pitch Perfect" and while I've never seen it I guess it's like some sort of Glee-type movie (but that's irrelevant). It has something to do with a capella singing and the "marketing geniuses" decided they needed...

I love ironic Facebook posts. For example, I have an acquaintance who is fairly conservative and always complaints about immigrants and whatnot. This acquaintance posts an article about the entitlement mentality and how it's not sustainable, and makes commentary about how much they hate people...

Given the level of discourse so far on the Affordable Care Act I debated doing this but I am going to give it a shot. If the thread devolves into partisan bickering I will ask to have it locked. I am a state insurance regulator charged with implementing various provisions of the Affordable...

I'm in need of ATOT's vast knowledge to help me unscrew the giant dildo Quicken Loans shoved up my butt. I have an FHA loan on my house which I am not only current on, but I am ahead in payments on. My rate is currently 5.75% and I'd like to refinance because rates are ~4%. The FHA has...

...are not attractive. My wife was on Facebook last night catching up with her step-sister and she saw lots of check-ins at an establishment she didn't recognize. My wife clicked through to see what it was and it turns out her step-sister is a waitress at a strip club. There were lots of...

I beseech the all-knowing ATOT for assistance. Long story short, my wife has an arbitration hearing next week with an ex-employer. Pursuant to the arbitration guidelines we have a copy of what they intend to enter as evidence, one item of which is an alleged telephone transcript of a phone...

http://money.cnn.com/2011/11/28/news/companies/citigroup_settlement_rejected/index.htm Good to see that judicial oversight will ensure that CITI can't buy their way out of this mess with a paltry sum and no acknowledgment of the alleged crimes involved.

Anyone have experience with one of these? I have an FHA loan at 5.75% and I could streamline into a refi at 4.25%. I'm only 37 months into my current loan so a refi at 30 years wouldn't be bad. I'd save about $200 per month by doing so. I'm not at 78% LTV so I have to pay PMI. My monthly...

As a side topic to the "Is it ok to ask how much someone makes thread", how about public-sector employees? It seems like the overwhelming sentiment in the other thread is that it's rude to ask someone's salary and it's none of their business. So, do you support public employee compensation...
