    Strange boot loop issue with Asus z87 Pro

    So I've got a strange issue with this board. It boots to Windows just fine. It boots to UEFI just fine. However, when I modify the BIOS settings and then save and reset, the system enters a boot loop. I can get out of the loop by holding down the power button to turn off the system, then hit the...

    Whelp, that didn't go so well

    So a couple months ago (maybe September) I picked up a 1994 Ranger 4x4 with the 4.0 v6 and a 143,000 miles or so. The plan was to use this as a rescue/transport vehicle for my motorcycle, as well as a daily driver in the winter. Been driving it quite a bit since and enjoying it. Ran well and...

    Looking for a used car

    So right now I've got a 97 Ford Explorer with 150000 miles. It's been really good up to this point in terms of reliability, my parents bought it new, I learned to drive with it, took it to college, and they gave it to me as a grad present (unfortunately invalidating it's usefulness as a Clunker...

    What's it take to "maintain" running distance?

    So last September decided to do a half marathon for the first time. At the same time I also started playing soccer in a "co-ed" league with a bad team in the position of midfield (this is significant from a fitness standpoint). The half was at the end of November and I finished a bit over 1:45...
