Best buy does have good good deals for employees. My wife used to work there and got real good deals. One that stuck out was cables. We all know how overpriced BB is when it comes to HDMI cables and other similar one. Those $80 cables, she was able to get for just a couple of bucks. This was around 2008 when even…

I like both but i have come to prefer ebooks. I love to read in any form. I like a paper book because it is easier for me to loan to someone (especially someone like my mom who can barely turn on a computer). I also have no eye strain with a paper book.

I came to recommend this one as well. I have been using it for about 5 years and I still love it.

I love rotel. i use it on a number of things. My favorite is in spaghetti. I added a can once when I did not have any tomatoes to dice and add, and it changed it forever for me. Gives it a little added spice that i love. I can no longer make spaghetti at home without adding a can.

That's an awful lot to lug around in my opinion. I've been a sys admin for about 10 years and my bag has a laptop with charger, a mouse, a small set of earbuds, an ethernet cable, a blank cd and dvd, and a usb drive. I keep a Swiss Army Cybertool ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00… ) in my pocket. My phone has all…

I have tried to do this but fail everytime. I always end up opening the maybe box later and wanting to keep everything.

thanks for the tip! Ill give them a shot

I tried BookBub, but ended up canceling it. I chose SciFi and Fantasy for my topics, and after a month or 2, still had not anything good coming to me. In fact, every email seemed to give links to all types up literature except SciFi and fantasy. I tend to stick with Goodreads now and check out other peoples lists. I…

"the rotund dictator and supreme leader"

It's a 2012 Grand Cherokee with the 6 cylinder. I believe it take about 6.5 quarts including filter. The other car is a 2004 Civic. It holds about 4.5 quarts.

Agreed. It is best to go by the manufacturers suggestions. Jeep recommends that I change the oil in my car every 7500 - 8000 miles for instance for conventional oil. Synthetic oil is like 10k miles. While my other car recommends every 5k miles. Once they get 200k miles on it, or 20 years old, I may get it changed a…

in your experience , does the roku have a faster load time than the chromecast? thats been my only issue. it takes about twice as long to load initially as my bluray player or phone. once it starts, i dont have an issue though.

I have thought about picking up the Roku, but as of right now, there is no reason to for me. I have a chromecast, but I only use it for Hulu, Netflix, and Plex. At this point, the Chromecast does everything that I need it to at a cheaper price. I love seeing these comparisons on them though, because if I start doing…

This. I bought a refurb dyson from woot 2 years ago at a really good price, and it is still going strong and have yet to have a problem with it.

This one is pretty neat. Not sure if others offer it, but PIA allows you to even pay anonymously using giftcards from Walmart, Best Buy, Starbucks and others. For instance, a $25.00 Starbucks gift card gets you 100 days of vpn access. For those wanting to be as anonymous as possible, that is a pretty good feature.

That's me with Diet Coke. I enjoy the taste of Diet Coke more than regular. Every now and then I will drink a regular one, but I don't like it near as much. On the flip side, I like regular Pepsi, but hate the taste of Diet Pepsi.

http://www.meetways.com/ is a website that has this service. It does a pretty good job. Ive used it many of times.

If you love each other and getting married for the right reason, why hold off? If it was going to be a year or two paying something off, I'd say wait, but a $40k student loan on a teacher's salary is going to take a long time. Get married and help him/her out. Also, there are a lot of programs that will forgive the…

Yea. I understand the "send to dumpster" comments IF they were parts that were broke or so old that they couldn't be used. But like you, I have a ton of parts that are new or newish I need to store. Even video cards and ram from outdated machines are still worth keeping to me. I never know if a friend or family member…

I have got a ton of milk crates that i keep for this kind of stuff. I put stuff like RAM into containers like old plastic crayon boxes and store those in a milk crate. Every type of part has its own crate. And I save the static bags from parts to keep them in. Then I stack up the crates in the attic or somewhere. they…
