You can actually get the same razors that Dollar Shave Club sends out for about 33% less if you order straight from their manufacturer. They normally have coupon codes floating around that drives it down to 40-50% off DSC too. That’s what I do.

I take that back, apparently the servers are just slammed as Whitson has said in some other comments. After I just keep hitting the activate button for a while it finally went.

Looks like it didn’t work for me. After I upgraded, then did my clean install Windows didn’t activate. Waiting on MS tech support now.

Not sure, but I can tell you that Start8 is working on Windows 10. I did an in place upgrade, and Start8 was still the default start menu for me. I ended up uninstalling it to get the actual Windows 10 start menu, which so far I have liked better anyway.

This exactly. I consult with businesses all the time, many of which still have XP machines. I continually am advising that they spend the $100 or so it costs to get at least a Win7 license, and every single time they say ‘But it’s working now, why would we pay money to upgrade it?’

To which I reply with my standard,…

OH OH, let me guess. We should buy a 5-10 year old luxury car that is in decent condition instead?

Microcenter is also ALWAYS cheaper for processors than anywhere online, but you have to go into their store, you can’t get the deal on their website.

They are often $50-100 cheaper than the going rate on basically every processor they carry.

Depends on what you buy. Some are just straight up R134. Others have a substance in it that is inert when the system is acting normally, but reacts with oxygen and kinda gums up. So this means as it is moving through a leak hitting air it turns into an almost rubbery substance to seal itself off.

I live in NE Ohio and what protodad said is extremely common here. I have seen these people around my area both before and after their begging. Many of them use baby oil and motor oil to make it look like they haven’t showered. They just park their extremely high end cars around the corner with a change of clothes and…

I’m 23 right now, and I am not sure if this is a generational thing, or a personality thing (I am an odd mix of computer geek and outdoorsment), but I really have this hope that someday when I can buy/build a home, that I can make it essentially self sufficient energy wise.

I think it would be amazing to have a solar…

I know what you mean. I’m 23 and single, and by the time I get home from work, make dinner, and workout, it’s already 10pm and if I want to do anything to relax (watch tv, listen to music, play games, hangout with friends), I am staying up later than I should be.

Where were these statistics pulled from? Where I live $56k is about the price of the average home sale.

No I did not, he said:

Alright, I just misinterpreted the comment, sorry about that.

You don’t turn your computer off or at least put it into sleep/hibernate at night? That’s a pretty big waste of power there.

Funny thing, I’ve been going to the gym for about 2 months now and was planning on setting up the tripod and marking off a spot to do weekly progress pics tonight. At least number wise I’ve noticed minimal weight loss over the past 2 months, just a couple pounds, but I’ve noticed a huge improvement in how quickly my…

And their employees. From what I understand both walmart and amazon treat their employees worse than crap and I am sure they will be having a great time handling the influx of orders.

Yeah like that’ll happen. Gotta remember they gave Apple a patent on rectangles just a few years ago.

I really wish they would bring the T-Boxx over. I’ve been wanting to pick up a few T-Boxxes for a while, since they are superior to the I-Boxxes in a lot of ways, but no go so far.

For those of you that are IT people or computer geeks like me. Grab a flat sheet of sturdy cardboard (or anything else thin and sturdy really), hot glue a bunch of toilet paper rolls, standing up on end, onto one side of the cardboard sheet in a nice grid. I also recommend gluing the rolls to each other along the…
