    Ha I just had to reimage a crap load of these for a contract job, couple of notes Psu is non standard so if it breaks a replacement may be more challenging They're heavy for their size real heavy.

    Repeal 2.5GPM shower head law, now!

    Due to a bad water table and a bad well situation I have to watch the water usage. So I picked up one of these http://www.homedepot.com/p/Delta-2-Spray-Showerhead-in-Chrome-52652-PK/203124917#customer_reviews only uses 1.8gpm but it's probably my favorite shower head I've ever used.

    Need a laptop recommendation under $400

    You might try an SSD. I have a similar celeron toshiba that was useless till I dropped an SSD in it. I just put a cheap 64gb one in mine I think I spent $45.00 on it.

    Cheese sauce mix similar to Krafts Mac n' Cheese or Annie's Shells & Cheedar?

    Check a store with a large bulk foods section. I know the Winco in town lets you buy cheese powder by the pound.

    Worth throwing a SSD into my old Toshiba Satellite?

    I'd say yes get an SSD. Dropped one in an even older Toshiba satellite a year ago and it turned a papeweight into something useful.

    Spider man to be rebooted... again

    My biggest gripe with the spider-man stories is this mashup of stories from the comics. I wouldn't mind seeing an original story written for film, but that's hard to do as people want a story they're familiar with. If anything I'd like to see them adapt one story line from one iconic spidey...

    Got a call from microsoft saying my pc is hacked/virus

    I find it amazing that anyone would think MS would have the resources or desire to monitor every single yokels Windows computer then be proactive enough to call them and walk them through "solving" the problem. Back when I did Dell tech support and you told someone it was a known issue the...

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    There isn't any way I'll get caught in the middle my aunt has ostracized her self out of the family with a long history of meddling. I feel bad for my uncle because he's a pretty cool guy.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    It's really not the decision to place her in hospice I had a problem with. It was the move there was no reason other than convenience and ego on my aunt's part. My grandma could have died somewhere she was happy instead she died scared in a place unfamiliar to her with a woman she didn't like or...

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    Her husband the oldest son technically did, but he also is supposed to technically own his own testicles.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    I'll put it this way up until 3 weeks ago my aunt barely visited where grandma had been living. She didn't move grandma to help she moved her so she could get the credit for taking care of her. Up until recently my mom had been the primary person to look in on her. So no my aunt didn't have her...

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    She hadn't been on anything heavy for pain prior to the move she had a minor fall with some bruising but nothing that would justify hospice and morphine. My aunt was the one that was in charge of administering the morphine and controlled how many doses she would get and how often.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    She was fine where she had been living she didn't have long but she had friends and a piano and she knew where she was. She had people looking in on her. If they had left her there her she would have died in a place that made her happy not in some hospice pumped up on morphine to keep her quiet.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    She's not directly responsible but she has an established pattern in meddling with the affairs of dying relatives and using her medical "expertise" to push her agenda. I'm not at all sad or in grief over her passing. What I'm upset about is my aunt will now make this about her.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    That's true it can work both ways and if anyone else thought she needed moving I would have supported it. My aunt did it because she gets off on watching other people die. She did it with her own mom.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    Her oldest son had power of attorney, but he's a bit of a wuss and lets the wife handle things. She's a nurse (a shitty nurse) and he trusts her to do the right thing. Grandma had been in the same town as my parents and they would check in couple times a week and she was fine. I mean it was...

    The cultural division line between Gen X and Gen Y is pokemon

    Yeah I missed the Pokemon boat. I was on the Magic train for a bit but by 7th grade a girl was letting me touch her boobs so that won.

    My aunt moves my grandma for better care and ends up killing her

    So grandma just kicked off this mortal coil. Don't worry she was old as hell and had dementia/lots of stuff wrong so her dying is fine. Back to the bitch of an aunt. Grandma was living in one place and it was OK not great but OK. She fell and my aunt decided she "dying" and moved her to an...

    Dear Florida Stoners

    I'm not entirely sure about the laws everywhere, but in Oregon once the new law goes into effect you can personally grow up to 4 plants per person, and you can give it away all day tax free.

    Dear Florida Stoners

    Now that Oregon has legalized and has a sensible tax structure it's going to cause havoc is Washington. I couldn't believe the tax rate for pot in Washington. I read somewhere it causes a gram to run $50.00+

    Shame On Evga

    this isn't really an issue of Evga's reputation anymore. OP lied about the damage to his board and after Evga offered a solution he continued to denigrate the company so they backed out of their offer. OP continued to bitch and OP got his way.

    Shame On Evga

    Yea it doesn't matter what the actual truth is. Once a consumer starts a smear campaign they always get their way. A company's reputation is always worth more than the cost of the replacement board. Even if the negative repuation is based on false accusation its still negative.

    Medium rare steaks are disgusting

    I just placed an order for half a steer locally sourced and grass fed. I'm having it aged 21 days ( I asked for longer but they said no) Then they'll cut how I specified.
