    Dishwasher recommendations?

    For a reasonable price (around $400 US), I've been very happy with the Whirlpool Gold Series that my home's previous owner installed. It's fairly quiet (quieter than garbage apartment ones, not quite as quiet as high-end), and doesn't usually need any pre-washing to get things clean. The Bosch...

    Food thieves at work need to DIAF

    I'm sorry that Bobby didn't like my famous Ghost Pepper Chicken. I love spicy food; what can I say? Well, I'm sorry he had to get his stomach pumped, but I wasn't expecting anyone to steal it... :D

    Net Neutrality rules are good or bad?

    That's my point. A new video startup would be damn near impossible now, because Netflix will pay off the big ISPs to ensure the newcomer can't compete. It's not competition for ISPs that I'm talking about (although I'd like to see that, too). It's that very monopoly that makes net neutrality...

    Net Neutrality rules are good or bad?

    Net neutrality is very important to keep, and we're going down a path that will stifle innovation. I think a lot of the opposition to the concept comes from lack of understanding. I use a telephone analogy: Let's say you want to order a pizza. Dominos and a new local Italian place are in the...

    Lots of robo calls since switching to Verizon

    My guess would be that the phone number was already on spam lists from its previous owner. I doubt it's anything specific to Verizon.

    Kitchen appliance recomendations

    An LG refrigerator destroyed my wood floor because they routed a plastic ice maker water line over the hot exhaust. It got brittle, cracked, and flooded my first floor. Never, ever again.

    What kind of jerk would do this?

    Same kind of psychopath who puts olives on a pizza, contaminating the whole pie with its vile essence. :eek:

    Last time you cried in a movie?

    The ending of Saving Private Ryan. Still chokes me up when I see it.

    NAS Owner Question

    You would, but with one caveat: The lower-powered Synology devices (like my 216j) cannot transcode video. That means you'd have to convert your videos ahead of time to match the device you're playing them on, which is a huge, impractical pain in the neck. If you're planning on using one as a...

    NAS Owner Question

    Convenience for our whole household. It's always on, draws very little power, and makes very little noise or heat. My Synology NAS will allow everything in the house to back up to it, including the "Time Machine" backup system on Apple's laptops. It then automatically backs up the parts I care...

    Where to find the best pizza in the country?

    That stuff from Chicago is not pizza. It's delicious, but it's not pizza.

    I thought unlocking an iPhone was supposed to be simple

    The whole point of the iCloud lock is to prevent stolen phones from being used. If it could be bypassed, it wouldn't be effective. Jailbreak has nothing to do with it. If you can't find or don't know the owner of the phone, and it had "Find my Phone" turned on when it was given away, it's a brick.

    Can anyone recommend a Laser Printer?

    The one you linked looks good to me. I've had a Brother HL-2170W for about eight years now, and couldn't be more pleased with it. It just keeps going and going and going. In all that time, I've printed 11,000 pages, replaced the toner 3 times, and it says the drum unit and toner will both be up...

    Trying to decide on 2014-2015 low mileage vs new

    I've done both. After the new-car shine wears off, they'll both be "used" cars, so it's a question of whether the older model still has some factory warranty left (that's a must for me), and if it has the features you want. If so, I wouldn't hesitate saving a bunch of money and buying a slightly...

    How many gallons of water does your household use and cost per month?

    Just two of us, and the usage alternates between 2000 and 3000 gallons a month (they round to the nearest 1000, strangely). My last bill was $110, and broke down as follows: Water service: $28 Water consumption: $6 Stormwater: $20 Sewer: $48 Taxes: $8 Seems high to me.

    Do people in your family all have similar political views?

    I lean slightly left of center on a lot of issues, but definitely not all. The rest of my family is way, way left. To say there was "drama" when my wife and I bought handguns would be a huge understatement. :D

    Costco or Sam's Club?

    The quality of product (particularly the fresh fruits and meats) is dramatically better at Costco. You can get items cheaper at Sams, but they're generally of correspondingly lower quality. The Costco checkout process also isn't an endless waiting game like it is at Sam's. There are lines, but...

    Best new car for....

    I bought a loaded AWD Ford Fusion Titanium last year, and couldn't be happier with it. Comfortable to ride in, plenty of power for me (240HP), and a very usable back seat. With nearly every option, including the automatic parking, adaptive cruise, heated/cooled front seats, inflatable rear seat...

    Have you thought about going back to HDD for primary storage on your desktop?

    Not a chance would I go back solely to a magnetic HDD. When I built my current box in 2012, I ended up going with a 500GB Western Digital black, a cheap 30GB Corsair SSD, and the Intel Smart Response SSD caching scheme. I expected it to just be a stopgap until I could afford a big SSD, but it...

    Ordering food from a tablet at your table is so convienent!

    I've seen it at a couple of places, and I don't like it at all. Last time was at a Red Robin, and the interaction particularly pissed me off. The waiter came by to check on us, and asked if everything was OK with our meal. I said yes, but we'd love a couple more beers. He asked us to order them...

    Net Neutrality 2017

    An internet service provider is not bound by the first amendment. If they decide to block all porn sites, for example, there's nothing you can do other than go to the (nonexistent) competition. I fully expect them to do that. Comcast could slow Netflix down, for example, until they pay a huge...

    Build PC with FreeNAS or a Stand-alone NAS?

    Having considered both options recently, I'd go with a standalone NAS. The system you're describing would be such overkill for a NAS, and a standalone unit would be much smaller, quieter, and less power-hungry. I'm using a small 2-bay Synology DS216j (currently $169 at Amazon), and it's perfect...

    And that is why I avoid aisle seats on flights

    Unless it's a senior citizen, I reward that by pushing the recline button when they're at maximum force. Usually drops them back on their ass. Dude, if your knee is in the aisle, the flight attendant isn't at fault on that one.

    Cox 150 MBPS - Modem and Router question

    I have a 6121 as well, and peak at around 130Mbit. Though my provider (Comcast) is providing 150Mbit if I have a cable modem that supports it, I just couldn't justify replacing a perfectly serviceable (and paid-for) modem for a 15% speed boost, since I so rarely max it out anyway. If it dies, or...

    Optometrist: suddenly I have astigmatism??

    With contacts, mild astigmatism can be corrected with a slightly stronger prescription, rather than the more expensive "toric" contact lenses that can correct for astigmatism. You might ask the optometrist if that's an option; I used those for many years, but eventually started to get headaches...

    Samsung printer in another country

    Take a look at the specs page on Samsung's site: http://downloadcenter.samsung.com/content/UM/201611/20161117134437380/EN/English/English/manual/BABCHFBC.htm?isTocLink=fixed It lists different voltage ranges for "110 volt models" and "220 volt models," which suggest to me that this is not a...

    FWD SUVs, why do they exist?

    Nah, it was that the government decided that cars were drinking too much fuel, so it tightened the fuel economy standards that the manufacturers had to meet. There were different standards for cars and trucks, however. So by killing the large car and adding the "light truck" to the mix, they...

    most durable floor per cost?

    Sorry, I just came across your reply; not sure how I missed it before. Honestly not sure on the exact pricing of the floor -- it was part of an insurance claim for a busted water line on our ice maker that destroyed the cheap laminate floor that was there before. I paid the price difference...
