    Advice on local / cloud file server?

    Thanks all - I'll look into Synology!

    Advice on local / cloud file server?

    I don't. Ah, good to know. One important thing is that it be easy for my boss to manage - I won't be around forever after all. He's no the most tech-savvy person. Not necessarily looking for two people to be able to work on the same file at once - rather different files on the same server. I...

    Advice on local / cloud file server?

    So at the small office I work at we've got a couple of Macs and a Windows 8.1 desktop that nobody really uses. So (of course) I decided to turn that into a central file server! Problem is that Windows seems to play nicely with the Macs most of the time (so far), but it requires that the PC not...

    Winter emergency kit?

    Oh, did I say car? I meant Tauntaun. So we're ok on that front.

    Winter emergency kit?

    Yeah, NM is never what you think it is. Here is Santa Fe, the average Summer high is in the mid 80s, and at night it dips into the 50s. We have a monsoon season. We're about 2000 feet higher up than Denver. #TheMoreYouKnow :P

    Winter emergency kit?

    Winter emergency kit?

    Just between Santa Fe and LVNM - so, it's not a huge distance, but there are those valleys and around Glorieta that get a little dicey.

    Winter emergency kit?

    So, my wife has to drive an hour back and forth through rural, mountainous New Mexico to get to work - it's all highway, but there are definitely sections where there's no cell signal and there aren't that many other cars at times - so I want to put together an emergency kit for her. I could use...

    Add a the old look as a forum skin.

    Agreed. This is horrible. If I have any time over the next few days, I might make a stylebot skin, but highly encourage someone who is me to do this first!

    Can someone help me understand our health insurance benefits and maternity?

    Thanks for all the information everyone - this is super helpful. We've got a little nest egg saved, but hopefully I can manage to put some more aside before the baby comes!

    Thanks RLGL, dullard, and yuchai! Really helpful, and I will reach out to BCBS to confirm.

    Can someone help me understand our health insurance benefits and maternity?

    I don't know why, this is just one of those things that I can never quite figure out. Feeling a little dumb. So this is our current plan: https://www.mybenefitsnm.com/Documents/SBC_266000_266000_0003_State%20of%20NM_PPO_01-01-16%20to%2012-31-16_2005-07-01_v2.pdf My wife and I are planning on...

    Decent rowing machine under 500?

    Can anyone comment on that Sunny machine vs the Stamina X, which seems to the the main inexpensive machine people talk about?

    Decent rowing machine under 500?

    I'll start by saying I know I should just pony up more money and get a concept2 - at least that's what everyone seems to say on any site I google. But I can't afford that and living out in the boonies means I can't find one used on craigslist either. So, for under 500, what can I get that...

    Phone recommendation for my wife?

    Good advice. I did and her response was "I don't care if it's an iPhone, as long as it actually works." Hence, this thread!

    Phone recommendation for my wife?

    She's been using iPhones for a while, but her current iPhone 5 (or maybe 5S) is driving her crazy - the battery life sucks, and I think she's just gotten tired of it. She mostly uses her phone for messaging, facebook, and pictures. Not a power user by any stretch. She's got pretty small...

    Could someone please design a not horrible OS?

    99.9% means that 1 out of every 1000 have a problem. According to Microsoft, 300,000,000 devices run Windows 10. That means 300,000 systems have problems. THIS is the problem with most OSes. They are designed for the 99.9% (or, more realistically, the 99%). I'm not saying Windows doesn't have...

    Could someone please design a not horrible OS?

    If there was the will, and the people willing to donate time (or, GASP!, even get paid for it), is it feasible / legal to write an OS that is compatible with existing windows and/or mac applications? Or an OS that comes so close to compatibility that if a company was willing to release a...

    Could someone please design a not horrible OS?

    The first thing I wanted to murder was all of the crap that gets bundled in. Some of it was Dell, and I get that, but plenty of it is baked into windows. The start menu begins as just a giant billboard for other services. The action center chirps irritatingly all the damn time. Cortana is a...

    Could someone please design a not horrible OS?

    I know, and I know I'm a curmedgeon. But even if they made something like Diet Dr. Windows, which was basically just an application launcher, a file explorer with a decent file search and that's it, I'd be happy. Let third party applications do everything else.

    Could someone please design a not horrible OS?

    <rant> After using Windows and a little Linux for years, I switched to OSX back in 2012 or so because I was sick of Microsoft's crap. Now, after 4 years of putting up with OSX's crap, and Apple's inability to actually produce a technologically up to date laptop, I got a Dell 9550 with Windows...

    Connecting at JFK to an international flight on a separate ticket?

    Thanks for the comments everyone! It's looking like it might actually be cheaper / better to fly into LGA and transfer to JFK, since I'll wind up in NYC waaay before my flight anyway. Any advice on transferring?

    Connecting at JFK to an international flight on a separate ticket?

    Thanks dullard - I didn't realize that. So, if I'm continuing on to ABQ, I come in, go through customs, collect my bags, and then re-check, go through security again, etc.? If I'm on a connecting ticket, I go through customs, but then presumably the airline sends my luggage along and I can just...

    Connecting at JFK to an international flight on a separate ticket?

    Does anyone here have experience connecting to/from an international flight at JFK when you get to JFK on a separate ticket? I got our tickets to/from europe cheaply from JFK because they were waaaaaaay cheaper than flying from ABQ. Now I've got to figure out getting to and from JFK. I assume...

    Best RPG / adventure games for curmudgeons?

    I definitely prefer adventure games, but I like the character development side of RPGs. I think that's part of why I preferred Quest for Glory to King's Quest - it's minimal, but you do get to upgrade stats, learn new spells, etc.

    Best RPG / adventure games for curmudgeons?

    I'm sick of all of the "look at my overpowered jerkoff run around and kill everything and collect so many piles of shiny things that I have to have imaginary shiny houses to put my shiny things in" type of games (Fallout, TES, etc, etc). To me the best RPGs were text adventures. The best...

    Phone recommendation? 5 inch or less phone for Verizon.

    So I dropped my Moto X (1st gen), and it's been quickly losing the ability to do things - first "Ok Google", then the front facing camera, now it's gotten critical as it isn't always getting calls. My requirements for a new phone: - Screen between 4.7" (moto x) and 5". Big phones suck. -...

    The 2015 Annual ATOT Income Tax Thread

    Thanks, I'll look into it. The short form is confusing because it seems to assume you have a CA W-2, but I'll figure it out... probably. There needs to be some standardization on this crap. Blerg.

    The 2015 Annual ATOT Income Tax Thread

    Question(s) here: My wife made $750 on a 1099 from a business in CA they withheld $52.50. According to Turbotax we would get a refund of $34. It costs (with TT) $37 to file. Do I have to file a CA state return or can I just say eff it? TIA!

    Lightning strike 15 feet from house, with pics!

    When I lived in Chicago we were in the living room during a storm and heard a very loud BOOM. Went over to the bedroom window to see what was going on - the telephone pole 5 feet from our window was on fire. Not sure if it got hit or if something else got hit and the current ran through the wires?

    What's fun in Chicago?

    The Art Institute is awesome. I grew up in DC, so I understand your aversion to paying for museums, but it's worth it. I can't recommend a Wendella architectural tour highly enough. To me the river tour is fine, the lake gives a nice view, but it takes a while to get through the locks. For...

    I looked at the outback - it's just too station wagon-ey for me.

    New Mexico, New Car?

    Wounds up borrowing a CX-5 for a few days from the dealer. So far I've driven it up and down hills, tried putting the a/c on max, and still found myself going 90 in a 75 because it's so smooth.

    New Mexico, New Car?

    New Mexico, New Car?

    So my wife and I just moved to northern New Mexico and are starting to think our Nissan Versa just isn't going to cut it. Driving to ABQ the other day, the car seemed to lack power for the ups and downs, and the A/C just wasn't powerful enough to make a difference in the dry heat. We visited a...

    Washer and Dryer Recommendations?

    Need to pick up a washer & dryer (electric) in the next couple days. Can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced (would like to be ~1000 or less) set that I can get at the usual places (Lowes, Home Depot, Best Buy)? Surprisingly few places to get unbiased reviews of this stuff online! TIA!
