Totally agree here. You can say a lot about Facebook but the Marketplace is a good way to sell furniture, bulky electronics, and household items. Nextdoor is another local option and will only be seen by your neighbors. Since it is free, you'll have to wade through a lot of people just asking...

If this isn't just straight-up fake, then a pallet of them "fell" off a truck somewhere.

A replacement for Santa's Sleigh? Iditarod 2051?

Uber is worth tree-fiddy. I guess the CEO thinks the app that coordinates all the schleps using their own vehicles and fuel to keep this schmuck in riches is worth $100B. The ultimate bubble is about to burst and 99% of the population will be reduced to eating pigeons and bugs.

That, converted to US$, is probably close to what I pay PER MONTH for everything associated with TV entertainment... crappy 30Mb/s down internet, satellite TV with one premium channel, NetFlix, and Amazon Prime. We have cheap crap from China, though.

Yes. I'm copying new rips over as I type now, so I can give you the skinny on some numbers. I'm using 45.6 TB of 62.2 TB -- 265 movies in 2k and 26 movies in 4k. 8TB of that are TV series. The 4k movies take up on average 55GB to 60GB each. I should be able to rip my entire BD/4k collection and...

I just bought a turnkey system instead of putting one together. Mine is an Asustor AS6210T and holds 10 disks. 62 TB of storage ( 10 * 8TB HGST NAS drives ) on hand in RAID-6 and takes up less than a square foot of space. Up to three additional 4-bay expansion chassis can be added to it for...

SB-1000 is a good sub for a small/medium room. I was running one of these with 50w RMS 5-inch powered monitors. Upgraded to the SB-2000 for a little more boom. Now running a SB-16 Ultra with 210w RMS powered monitors and picked up a pair of 400w RMS studio monitors to pair it with. A single...

If God meant for us to go 50 in a 25 he would have given us all jetpacks.

Well. Isn't that a progressive's role anyway... to ultimately get paid for not working. They can keep going and demand $400 an hour then work one hour a week. The single highest expense for an employer is payroll and they are always looking for ways to reduce it. Having said that, I'm benefiting...

I would have offered point tree-fiddy. I remember the 264 since I was a member of a large Commodore user group back then. I don't think anyone in the group ( 500+ members ) bought one because we all had real C=64s that could run everything.

I want a phone with a hidden keyboard like my old MyTouch 4G. This appears to be the only modern option. I'm aware Snapdragon 835 is old but it is more than enough for a phone ( and is way more than Apple puts in their phones ) and is good on battery usage. I pre-ordered it, so we will see if it...

It is more sinister than that for Xfinity. SD is the DEFAULT option for their channels, at least with my mom's regular cable box w/o DVR capabilities. It drives me nuts every time I visit and decide to watch TV. After changing channels, you'll get a pop-up for a second or two with a " button "...

Maybe. But the 4k pricing isn't too far out of line considering the higher level of work that has to go into a 4k disc to offer up superior video and audio. Most of my 4k purchases have been around the $27 mark with some as low as $20 and a few higher than $30. Not really that bad since most, if...

The neck has a few good ones too.
