    Looking for a wired, backlit, scissor switch keyboard

    I have a set that I installed, but they caused a lot of missed key-presses. To th poin whee my senteces wuld lok lik ths. I left them in for a week or so hoping I'd get used to them and / or they'd settle in, but it never happened. The keyboard I have is a Cherry MX 3.0, so it's not a bargain...

    Looking for a wired, backlit, scissor switch keyboard

    Hi everyone, I'm currently using a mechanical keyboard with Cherry MX Reds, and it's simply too loud. I also would prefer to get something that's backlit. My requirements are: - Wired - Scissor switches OR low profile keys - Backlit (prefer standard white) - Standard keyboard layout...

    Wives Are Silly

    What is it that makes malt liquor so popular with the "hobo community?" Just the fact that it's cheap and stronger than beer?

    What weird food things do you do?

    Pasta (especially penne) with butter, salt, and pepper instead of traditional sauce. My wife got me into it. It's extremely unhealthy, but it's a nice tasty treat from time to time.

    First cold front of the year - temperatures plummeting

    Fahrenheit is a much more usable scale for telling the weather, Celsius is better for scientific reports. For example: -50c - extremely cold 0C - fairly cold 50C - extremely hot 100C - dead 150C - dead(er?) -50F - extremely cold 0F - really cold 50F - mild, a bit chilly 100F - really hot 150F...

    Fallout 4 - it's official! Coming Nov 10, '15

    I don't really understand all of the criticism for the game. It's not perfect, sure, but it feels like two big steps forward from Fallout 3, and only one minor step back in a few aspects from New Vegas (but it still comes out ahead). - Weapon customization is GREAT. You can do quite a bit to...

    Hey New Englanders. How much does it cost to heat your house per year...

    About 3-4 cords of split, seasoned wood (primarily red oak, with others mixed in) at $200 per cord, plus 3/4 to one full tank of oil (275 gallons), so call it $400 to $550 in oil to make it easy. So, from October to April (sometimes September and May too), we spend about $1000 to $1350 on...

    Processed meat can cause cancer

    There's so many disease and condition-causing things to think about these days that I only focus on the major ones. I don't smoke. I don't sit around breathing in lead fumes. I don't dance around in asbestos. If I feel like having a steak, or a beer, or a baked potato, or whatever is going to be...

    $30,000 Hooded Sweatshirt

    Nope. If I were so rich that dropping $30k on clothing was no big deal, I'd be spending it on nice, well-tailored suits.

    2016 Leaf = 107 miles

    It's not just the range that keeps me from considering an EV - it's also the ease of quickly extending that range. My car has around a 450 mile range on gas. If I drive 400 miles, I can stop at any gas station and fill up to get another 400 miles tacked on. Rinse and repeat - I can go across...

    hey ... whisky.

    Your post is completely flawed. Whiskey and whisky are two different spellings for the same thing - a distilled spirit made from fermented grains. That's ALL that whisk(e)y means. Several regions (primarily Scotland, Ireland, USA, Canada, and Japan) have a special set of rules that define what...

    Wes Craven passed away.

    Not to mention he had a name that was just perfect for the genre. I mean, if you heard about some new, obscure horror movie coming out and had never heard of Wes Craven: "Hey, who's that new psycho vampire movie that's supposed to be too hardcore to even get a NC-17 rating made by?" "Some...

    Why does Valve website have Half-Life 3 logo?

    Which is a HUGE mistake on Valve's part. They could literally use the Source engine and focus on texture details, plot, weapons, etc. and still come out with a game that will be AT LEAST mildly loved. Hell, throw in the Portal gun for an interesting cross-over that will draw some fans in. Yes...

    Is picture better in 1080p [Maxed out] details or 4K [Medium] details ?

    The native resolution of the monitor is more important than anything else. A 4k monitor is going to look like crap at 1080p, unless scaling has come a long way in the past few years and I was not aware. If you're considering between buying two different monitors (or TVs) at 1080p or 4k, my bet...

    Recommend A "Touring" Sedan

    Hmm, $50k, doesn't seem to be interested in horsepower, mainly looking for nice interior and features, and no European cars. Lexus would be my first bet. Infiniti, Acura, Cadillac, Buick, and Lincoln would also be worth a look, but Lexus would definitely be at the top of my list.

    StarCraft 2: Legacy of the Void, trailer released

    Unfortunately, the online game play has WAY too steep of a learning curve, which makes the game almost unplayable for newbies. You can only play SP or games against bots for so long before you give up and go on to something else.

    Edge of Tomorrow

    I enjoyed it. It got into the action pretty quick, had some good laughs, and an interesting plot. The ending (probably the last 30 minutes) did feel a little rushed just to wrap it all up, but it was still well worth it.

    Need quick answers: Apple failing itself

    Apple's biggest downfall is their pride. They're too proud to make a low-end device that will appeal to the masses who don't want to flock to a store every time there's a new product release. That leaves room for other manufacturers to stake their claim without directly competing. They do well...

    Who's ready for the Amazon 20th anniversary sale? [July 15th]

    The sale wouldn't have been half bad without all the hype. Amazon themselves claimed it was going to be bigger than Black Friday. In my opinion it fell WELL short.

    2008 2AZ-FE throatier exhaust, sometimes growl on heavy accel out of turn

    Without having heavily modified your engine (and then I'd expect you would know exactly why the exhaust note changed), the most likely culprit is an exhaust leak somewhere. I'd take it to a muffler shop.

    You're going on a roadtrip with an unreliable car, what do you bring?

    For my list, I was imagining that you'd be driving cross country through a dangerous area - Death Valley, Yukon Territory, undeveloped areas of Africa, etc. I forgot to add to my list: - water - food - basic automotive fluids (oil, transmission fluid, coolant, power steering fluid, brake fluid...

    You're going on a roadtrip with an unreliable car, what do you bring?

    Pointless thread. If you're driving an unreliable, compact car, you're obviously going to budget more space and weight for important tools and things that will get you out of a bad situation. Even a compact car will hold several hundred pounds worth of tools and spare parts without a problem...

    Rant: Second Package From Amazon 'Lost' Within a Month

    This just happened to me, twice. On Wednesday the 17th (several days before Father's Day weekend), I placed an order with one-day shipping to make sure my gift would arrive in time. By Friday, some of the order had come in, but the gift was still missing. I called Amazon, and they said the...

    Terraria 1.3 coming next week

    DO WANT! I was honestly expecting them to quietly give up on Terraria. It's a wonderful game with a lot of great dynamics and awesome boss fights. If the game cost $60 or had monthly DLC that you had to purchase for each of these patches, then I could see why some people complain. But the game...

    Another 707hp on the way?

    I don't understand the appeal personally. That much horsepower in a muscle car or sports car is a thing of beauty. That much horsepower in an SUV, which (I assume) weighs more, has a higher center of gravity, worse weight distribution, more body roll, etc. just seems senseless. I know there are...

    Harley Fatboy for a 68 Mustang?-pics added to last post

    Auto or 3-speed to 4-speed swaps aren't very difficult in these cars. The hardest part is tracking down the proper pedal setup (if it's automatic) and the linkage. 4-speed toploaders are fairly common and they're extremely strong transmissions. As far as fastbacks, ever since the Gone in 60...

    Harley Fatboy for a 68 Mustang?-pics added to last post

    Noticing that now. Still, even with a crap paint job, if it isn't rusty and the drive train and interior are complete, a swap for an $8k bike would be at least even.

    Harley Fatboy for a 68 Mustang?-pics added to last post

    It's a coupe, not a fastback, so unless there's something particularly rare or unusual about that car, it's not going to be worth a ton. I'd figure somewhere in the $10-15k range if everything is in good shape. If it's immaculate with all correct parts / numbers matching, perhaps $15-25k tops...

    Rolling down windows with the remote FOB

    My Fusion does this. I've only used it once or twice (in less than a year of ownership). It's neat to have, but I'd much rather have a remote starter so I could get the AC or heat going before I get in the car.

    Did anyone else not care for Guardians of the Galaxy?

    :P I really think Avatar was a decent film. The visuals (CGI) were outstanding. The plot has been done 100 times over, sure, but at least it's a solid one. It's a typical "fight the power, cheer for the underdogs, save the planet" movie, but it doesn't get old. With that said, it's not...

    Did anyone else not care for Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I went into it expecting it to be a bit campy, a bit different, and a little off the wall. It just didn't blow me away the way some other movies have lately, again, probably due to the hype. A few complaints: (spoilers) Overall, it was a decent movie, but too many of the plot points felt...

    Did anyone else not care for Guardians of the Galaxy?

    I finally got around to watching it. Maybe it's just due to all of the hype I've heard since it came out. I'm not one to purposely discredit something just because it's "trendy to go against the masses" (I liked Avatar), but I just genuinely didn't get this one. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't...
