DOES Louis CK get a lot of action? Would be curious to find out, because he's definitely funny as all hell, but not much to look at.

A glaring omission here are internet-direct speakers and subwoofers, sold directly by the manufacturers: Hsu Research and Ascend Acoustics in particular, but also Orb Audio, Aperion Audio, Axiom, etc. They offer superior bang for the buck—-moderate Best Buy type pricing for audiophile-boutique-shop level performance.…

Equalizers are designed to compensate for bad speakers, bad headphones, or (when listening to speakers) unusually bad room acoustics. Otherwise, if you have relatively decent speakers and headphones (decent = a fairly flat response across the frequency spectrum, rather than "bright" treble or "boomy" bass) and room…

Wish there was an app designed for cross-country driving so that one could plan which hotels to stay in, in which cities, a specified number of hours of driving apart, including stops at the gas stations with the best prices, and meal stops at specified types of restaurants along the way. Right now I'm having to use…

I highly recommend the ZeroWater pitcher filters. Yes it takes 3x longer than a Brita filter, and yes the replacement filters cost up to 3x…

A baton is very quick to deploy, you just yank it out of a holster and flick your wrist and it's open—-just jumping off your bike and holding it in your…

I recently moved to Boston and am considering getting a bike for daily transportation, instead of driving or mass transit. What would folks recommend? Safety, reliability and comfort are my top concerns. Would like to spend under $500, lower is obviously better. There are some hills here, and winter snow/ice, both…

By "failure" I am guessing they mean the OEM hard drive failing, I'll bet. Which is a simple $100 fix to put in an SSD which would also be a million times better.
