...if there's 1875 watts of power being used, eventually there will be 1875 watts of heat flowing out. This is true of any device that uses power, which is a handy thing to know. For example, people worry about leaving disconnected chargers plugged into the wall for fear that they're draining power. Are they right?…

People suck at math Kristin.

I understand your point, but if someone was flatly reading a script then you would still be able to understand the individual. The issue is that the written word is more "locked" than the spoken word. Spoken languages are fluid, they evolve rapidly. Written language is not as fluid, primarily because you have a…

Their "natural peanut butter" is freaking awesome. Nothing but peanuts/salt and it tastes great. It is also fairly inexpensive.

Or...Just get Republic Wireless. You can change the service twice a month. Pay $10 a month for cell service while you use wifi for your internet. Jack it up to $40 when you need 4G. Turn it off when you don't need it.

Spurs are still getting fucked

Starting sticker for a new Ford Edge was about $25k. However, even if we go with your math I would argue that it is still 50% and not 35% of the original price.

I think you mean it is far more profitable to buy completely redesigned shit than upgrade the old shit. Despite "upgrading the old shit" being standard in all industries, the military has a fetish for "completely redesign". It makes the contractors shitloads of money in "development costs" which are difficult to…

Please show me a vehicle for 70% less than purchase after 6 years. I have not seen a car go for that little post-"Cash for Clunkers". I have seen a few at 50%, but not 30%.

People are just paying for the name.

I had the 5-speed. Maybe it was just bad luck, but 2 transmissions in 2 years.

Ford Rangers will go through transmissions like fat people go through napkins.

This is HORRIBLE math on your part. How about we use the $25,000 investment and the $180k home. We are going to imagine that you have a 30-year mortgage. If paid in the normal way you would pay $309,364.17 over the loan. If you plunked down that 25k, you would pay $266,399.06. Total savings over the life of the loan?…

Ummmm...this is basically useless.

Greenland isn't a country? Crap, I guess Canada wasn't a country until 1982 by that logic.

I thought gawker media encouraged the stalking of people?

This is only useful information if your email address doesn't contain a name.

Does Sunstone count? Not strictly anime, but damn if that isn't the best relationship comic starring "lesbians".

I was in the same camp. I am reconsidering my position. My initial reason for being in the "not racist" camp may have been an over-reaction to make sure that everyone wasn't jumping on the outrage wagon unnecessarily. I am not saying that the world is not a racist place, I am saying that the internet is quick to…

Yeah, I had a similar experience. They had installed laminate floors(poorly) and the cheapest carpet I have ever seen. It is an odd reaction, but most people get more turned off by this sort of thing.
