    Where will Irma make landfall? Please post your predictions

    Residing in the Space Coast area and have most things stocked up. Still need to nab some AA/AAA batteries though. The high pressure system to the east of Florida is dissipating due to a through. It is what was keeping Irma from turning northward. Current projections are showing an earlier and...

    Do you guys love your hot sauces?

    Always liked the Blair's Death line of sauces. More specifically their Salsa de la Muerte level. Good blend of heat and flavor and it is my version of ketchup (have not used actual ketchup in last 10+ years). Go through a bottle of the stuff per week.

    Are pressure cookers a substitute for slow cookers?

    Pulled the trigger and bought an Instant Pot 50 model (1 quart smaller than the 60) and the glass lid for it for slow cooking. Nice to replace two old units with the IP. Am impressed with how little you have to monitor it unlike the stove top models and much quieter to boot. Does take...

    Oh i love chunky monkey icecream from Ben & Jerry's so much.

    My only issue with Ben&Jerry's is the same issue I have with deserts in restaurants. 90+% of the selection contains chocolate in one way or another. That said, I like the Buttered Pecan the most. Sadly you will NEVER find it outside of their shops, and will sometimes have to ask for it since...

    Killing houseflies with a (table) salt shotgun

    Have the 1.0 model and still works fine, but have not used it too much other than in the garage round the trashcans. It really only spits out a small pinch of salt and due to shotgun blast is gets spread out over a wide range that you will never have "piles" of salt lying round.

    McDonald's sales down 4% YoY in the US

    Could this be an indicator that the economy for the lower/middle class be rising? Recall reading that places like McD and WalMart tend to do better when the economy is rough, is this the possible opposite?

    Local & FOX News have most trusted coverage according to new Q poll

    PBS is not part of the poll, and from other polls that include it, it usually is the winner (even over Fox News).

    Star Trek Armada III mod for Sins of a Solar Empire

    Major update to the mod was released 12/15/2014 that added Cardassian race (which you can research full Cardassian or Card/Dominion alliance). Plus they did a lot of re-balancing Federation, Klingons, Romulans and Borg and added a boatload of new content.

    Space genre reborn

    I bought Sins when it was on a full package sale, so I got the DLC with it. That said, I am pretty sure you only need the base Sins game for the mod to work. Link to the mod and dev diaries on the upcoming changes: http://www.moddb.com/mods/star-trek-armada-3 They currently have Romulan...
