    I returned an item this morning and they offered me $38ish to keep it. It was a $166 purchase. That is the first time I have ever seen that. I didn't want to be out $130 of pocket and have an item that was half broken, so I declined their $38. If It was something I could fix myself I could have...

    Well I watched Star Wars Episode VI with the kids. It has been a long time since I have seen this! These DeSpecialized versions are great, nothing pisses me off while watching. Star wars REALLY took a dark turn on this one. I had forgotten how this one is both the most light-hearted (with...

    I watched Star Wars Episode V with the kids. My son kept bugging me to watch it. It was fun. He LOVED it. I can't believe how shocked he was when he found out about the plot twist. It really is one of the greatest plot twists of all time. He was absolutely flabbergasted. "Why would he be so...

    I wonder if google updated their maps to make them "better" recently. This past week both Fedex and Amazon have both delivered to the wrong house. I also found out that there is a house a block away from me with the same number, but a different street name. Great job developers! Once, honest...

    Age old debate: Mac VS Microsoft PC

    HOT! CHAT 
    This is an old thread back from the dead! I'm hopeful that Windows 11 delegates Windows to the trash bin and some alternative comes up in its place. I've never liked Mac's and used Windows, but man 11 is trash.

    I watched Star Wars IV A New Hope with my kids last night. My daughter insisted that she didn't like it, but then wouldn't stop asking me about it and was engrossed the whole time. My 5 year old son loved it. The light sabers, the blasters, the space ships. Today he keeps asking me about it as...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    I always know it is down because a buddy of mine just sends me sad faces and stuff. So I check, and its pure murder. I still find it crazy that all GPU miners were essentially useless this bull run. Even lots of ASICS barely broke even, if that. I am not sure about BTC miners, I am sure those...

    I have like 20 random things in my amazon cart to save for later, things I don't need right away, but will eventually get. So I just wait until there is a sale on them. Most of them are on "sale right now". They are like $15 items. Magically today they are $20 items but are on sale for $15 for...

    @Jrjohnny enjoy that warm weather! Great time to get out of Canada! You see the latest "budget"? Canada is going to be experiencing covid levels of inflation every year if they keep this money printing up! How is the rest of your family liking Florida?

    I am just closing up the final bits of "The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich" by William Shirer. This book is absolutely mammoth in both physical size, and mental scope. It is absolutely heartbreaking, and I think that every single school aged kid should have this as mandatory reading. What I...

    I recently upgraded the home gym again. The next phase would be Olympic weights, but that is a pretty big expense for nothing more than fancier weights, and a more comfortable bar. I suppose I could also sell the old weights if I do this and recoup a fair bit. I would also like some of those...

    My wife and I recently found an absolutely delicious wine, I was excited when it went on sale recently and got a case of it. I know that isn't a big deal, but its literally the first case of wine I ever purchased in my life. Well yesterday I popped into the local Costco Liquor store just to see...

    I liked your random post about cinnamon buns. I went on a kick to learn how to make the best possible buns like 5 years ago. I have not made them now for over a year, but after making my own there is no way I will ever eat one anywhere else, everything is just so sub-par. I can also control how...

    Turning off YouTube history, and subsequently all of the recommended videos has been an absolute game changer for me. I still have everything I am subscribed to, but I have to actively search for them to find out if they have anything new. I uninstall the YouTube app from my phone (it is trash...

    Kids were out, so I was able to watch a movie nice and loud. F1. Good movie. Really enjoyed it. One complaint though. Some of the music was great, the main theme song is absolutely epic. However, it was full of random pop/rap songs that just absolutely took me out of the experience. It was...
