    What makes a good credit score?

    I had a hard time getting the loan to clear even though I had my credit pulled with a great score, but I had less than 3 active tradelines of credit. I had a great score, but I didn't have enough tradelines open. I had one card I had used for 8 years, and no auto loans or student loans. It...

    My A/C unit isn't secured to the ground :\

    If it isn't anchored properly, a mouse may pop out of it. This is bad.

    Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Unintentional typo, but it's still correct. I meant The Hound and Gregor (the mountain). Now stop making me lose my lurker status.

    Game of Thrones - TV Series (NO BOOK SPOILERS)

    Guys it's obvious. 1) Loras defeated The Mountain that Rides in the Tourney. This is 100% a valid way to determine who is better. I mean he's named "The Mountain that Rides." If "The Mountain that Rides" loses a jousting match, he didn't ride very well did he. 2) The Hound and Sandor are...

    Financial advice for a young whippersnapper?

    I haven't read through all responses in the thread, so forgive me if I missed something. If you are ever planning to buy a home, make sure you have at 3 lines of credit open for at least a year. For that reason alone, I wouldn't cancel the credit card. I used to have a single credit card, and...

    Where is the next guitarist who can stand next to SRV and Jimi?

    I'm sorry I didn't quite understand that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPo9Gd2z6rI Do you mean that most people consider "Black Magic Woman" to be attributed to Fleetwood Mac? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NsJ84YV1oA Then would Oye Como Va (Santana's version) be attributed to Tito Puente...

    Where is the next guitarist who can stand next to SRV and Jimi?

    What!? No Carlos Santana? 3 pages and nobody has mentioned a legend who has put out hits over 5 decades (60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 2000's)?

    My parked car was hit by another driver.

    I know hindsight is 20-20, but if you are parking in the street every day, it's best to get comprehensive insurance, provided you can afford it. I've heard way too many stories of cars getting hit while parked on their own street. Better Nate than Lever, right? Uh, I mean better safe than sorry.

    Look for Hip Hop/Rap songs like this

    Hello fellow brethren, I'm not well versed in the Hip Hop/Rap world, I'm more of an Alt. Rock kind of guy, and I think most of you guys would agree that the majority of the new Rap and Hip Hop (if you can even call it that) is complete and utter shit. I'm looking for something along this...

    Hottest food youve ever consumed?

    This isn't super-hot, but it's probably the hottest thing I eat on a regular basis. It's a pretty good chilli-paste. FWIW, it has Naga Jolokia peppers in it.

    Is it really that expensive in San Jose, CA?

    Ah I see, I am probably blurring the line between Cupertino and Saratoga, around near Cox Ave things get a bit hairy. Let me guess, you went to high school at Lynbrook or Monta Vista High? You probably also went/go to Berkeley? EECS? Like the 50 of us who did the same? In fact I probably...

    Is it really that expensive in San Jose, CA?

    Apples are red; cherries are red; QED Apples are cherries. I was merely making a jest about how the population of Caucasians dramatically goes up when you enter Saratoga, which is a place that has no sidewalk. I have a friend who lives on the border of Saratoga and Cupertino. Half of his...

    Is it really that expensive in San Jose, CA?

    The rule of thumb is: the closer you get to Cupertino/Sunnyvale, the more Asian it gets. But when you hit Saratoga, Whiteys regain the majority. Damn them and their lack of sidewalks.

    7 with a line in the middle of it

    I put a horizontal line through my 7's, since it's easier to differentiate them between 1s. However, I also do this with Z's, but that's probably because my hand motion for writing a Z is quite similar to writing a 7.

    Help me find a song

    Hey all, I've been lurking here for a good 3 years now... Finally had a need to register. I was walking by a store, when I heard a song playing from a local radio station. I've heard it before, about 3-4 times within the year, so it's probably a somewhat recent song. I have no audio...
