Man, slickdeals is just a landfill with newbies right now asking people to check for store inventory. Coming back to anandtech is like a breathe of fresh air.
I am hoping online retailers will get some in stock so I don't have to camp out at BB. It's too early for black friday madness
That's the culture in China ... people there don't understand the concept of forming lines and it's just free for all. Old ladies there will run you over to be in the front.
Wow thanks for all the suggestions! I'm going look at some places this weekend, so this should be helpful!
I'm also looking into buying a house in the near fture. Checking Redfin, I can get a property near the beach for under 400k. That seems pretty low. Does any ATOT member live there...
I'll be moving in the end of April to San Diego for a new job and I need recommendations on where to live or what cities to avoid. The only thing I know about San Diego is that Shamu lives there. :) The job is located at the Ranch Bernardo area. Here are some preferences:
* I prefer North...
"The fact is that Chinese parents can do things that would seem unimaginable—even legally actionable—to Westerners. Chinese mothers can say to their daughters, "Hey fatty—lose some weight.""
I'm a prime example of this. "You're so fat, are you pregnant?"
Back in my college my neighbors did something to the apartment's cable box and gave everyone in our unit free cable. I watched TV day and night for two years. Even I leave the TV on to fall asleep to. After graduating, I moved out to another place but didn't want to pay for cable. I had bad...
I recently sold a hard drive on ebay and the winning bid amount was slightly higher than my previous auctions. (I have 5 of the same hard drive, sold them separately.) I didn't think much of it and was just happy I made a few extra dollars.
After a week the buyer sends me a snail mail...
In an orange county here. The house was swaying back and forth. I was in the kitchen making spring rolls and continued to do so during the quake. It wasn't that bad to make me duck and cover. I did feel a little dizzy. It was a long qone. Surprisingly the dogs didn't bark.
All those...
I use to get OK haircuts for $12. Then I upgraded to $20 with free wash and they do a decent to good job. Now the best hair cut I ever got cost $30. I layer my hair and the technique the $30 stylist used cannot be replicated by any other stylist I've been too. Unfortunately I can't locate...
I had mine taken out when I was 6, I still have the scar. I don't remember much but just a lot of horrible stomach pain. I missed school for like a month.
Hope your friend recovers quickly.
I recently joined CL b/c I needed to get rid a lot of junk and so far it's been successful. <knock on wood> Here I are some tips that I hope you find useful:
1. As one poster mentioned earlier, don't give your address right away. Talk to the person first over the phone or email to get a...
My vote is for Hong Kong
- The official language is Chinese and English. Most things are written in English as well. But I heard ever since the take over by mainland China, english isn't taught as much in school or has less emphasis.
- The winter in HK is like winter in Cali.
- Food...
I'm just wondering how rampant fake money is in the US. Today I sold something to a lady through craigslist and the lady just gave me all $100 bills. I examined them carefully and held it in the light to make sure I can see the water marks. They look legit but I still feel paranoid.

I was driving to the Irvine Spectrum at around 7pm last night and I could see it from the 405S. Afterwards, we went to YogurtLand and they said they were going to close soon b/c the area was going to be evacuated. We sat there for a good hour and many people came in, it didn't look like the...
I love The OC. I'm sad that it's been cancelled but at least it's ending while the season is still good. I'll admit season 3 totally killed the show with Marissa's emoiness but season 4 is as good as season 1. The show basically made Orange County a household name. It put the OC on the map...
