  1. I got this Ninja I've been wanting for a bit for my bday. Anyone have any good recipes? I guess they are endless. Total Crushing[emoji768] See it in action Food Processing See it in action High-Speed Blending See it in action Spiralizing See it in action
  2. a place to find good deals : https://slickdeals.net/tv-deals/?src=catnav_tv
  3. The ceramic sounds like the best idea to me. I am on the cheap, so I have a Weber smoker and charcoal grill. Unless you want the convenience of a gass grill.
  4. Wow a 70 dollar case is nice, no edges that cut you and its no screws so far putting in all the drives. Very nice. Evga is late, so I'm waiting on the Motherboard, because of weather. I can't wait to have my first fast PC. I've always bought the cheapest new components. I had a 4tb drive that I never put in my Unraid server, so I just took out a 1.5tb and put that in to take me to a 17tb media server. I think 8 Hard drives. I'm going to throw away or donate my old hdd's. 38gb - 800gb, most 500gb.
  5. So, I'm going to try to get back into gaming. I'm old and slow now. I like adventure, puzzles, stategy... I've been looking through Steam. What I bought so far (sale or works with my Shield TV): Table top simulator, Stardew Valley. I have this on my wishlist and the main one I want Forza Horizon 3): Firewatch, The Forest, The Long Dark, Frost Punk, Hero-U, Kingdome Come, Subnautica, Squad, Surviving Mars, House Flipper, They are Billions, The Raft Anyway, what are your favorite games of the last decade, Thanks?
  6. The Shield Tv just got the Geforce Now upgraded service. So right now if you have a game you bought on Steam, Uplay, or Battle, you can play the game on their "super" servers, and it streams the games. I've been playing with it today. It works great. Since everything is moving to the cloud, this has to be the future of gaming. Buy a $100-200 box, and you pay a subsciption to play a few games. You don't have to fork out money for the latest greatest pc or console every few years..
  7. Been playing 1 or 2 on my Shield Tv(one of the free games), I've been enjoying it.
  8. Traffik (2018) - Wow. I can't believe this has a decent rating on IMDB and it was a true story. So much stupid in this movie.
  9. Nvidia just said they were making the Geforce Now from their PC and Mac Beta to include Shield TV also, so looking forward to that.. Although they sound like they are one of the more expensive companies going forward, charging per hour. Hopefully they will realize no one is going to pay to play by hour or how much they want to charge per hour...
  10. Funny.... I read up on all the current offerings, and it sounds like they are not 100%, so I am going to wait until next year. It is hard holding out though..
  11. Kodi. So, yes. One might have to try a few different sources. It may take you five minutes. You may find one with built in Subs. It is a trade off. How much do you want to see that certain item on a click of a button for 5 dollars, or can you go through waiting for a good stream to load for free.. I've also learned it depends on your streaming device. I just got a Shield Tv, and compared to my old Fire Tv's it is super quick pulling up a stream. It also depends on your Kodi addon. I've had more luck lately with Neptune Rising over Placenta... If you are on a Fire TV and just want to stream stuff. There are apps like Terrarium . Kodi is a media player, etc. bigger program. This might work better for you.. https://troypoint.com/install-terrarium-tv-on-fire-tv-or-fire-tv-stick/
  12. Ughh. I hate those calls. I was looking over my moms bill recently. She is paying $250 a month for Uverse. 2 tvs, phone, and 12mb internet. I first called, got an Indian. I couldn't understand what he was saying, so I asked to be escalated. Then I spoke to someone with a spanish accent, but better. I ended up in a shouting match. I got her $50 off(600 for the year) with more channels(she wanted the Halmark Movie channel ) and 100 mb internet. I was going for $100. I tried asking why I see $90 for all of this online and whether they value new customers more than her.. My mom is too nice, and was "ok" . I gave up and let my mom speak, as I got too livid..
  13. Per my email it states the change will take place on 7/28. I have my bill auto draft, so I'm not sure if that is my bill due date or the date of the change.. So, I suppose look at your bill after that...

    SSR. Huh, so it doesn't look like they have gone up in price really. https://www.carfax.com/Used-Chevrolet-SSR_w161 It is a cool future looking/retro "truck".
  15. Thanks Billy. I ordered an i7. 16bg of Gskill ram and just a $140 dollar GTX 1040 graphics card for now. I will upgrade the video card later when prices come down. I think that is the best move. Thanks..
  16. Yeah, if you have the CD Key and the cd, or keep a downloaded version of the install file on a cd, then I would think you would not have a problem (if it is a digital version who knows if MS will have that hosted version down the road, so if so, I would make sure I have a copy of that file available to me and backed up when I need it. Bnb
  17. I built many PC's in the 90's, Now I have no idea... This was on slickdeals, and I was told this was a good deal, I got this from EVGA: http://www.evga.com/products/featured-bundles.aspx Z370 Class + 650 GP + CLC 240 EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G1+, 80 Plus Gold 650W, Fully Modular, FDB Fan, 10 Year Warranty, Includes Power ON Self Tester, Power Supply 120-GP-0650-X1 120-GP-0650-X1 Total Watts: 650 Watts +12v Rail: 54A Total 100% Modular Energy Rating: 80 Plus Gold EVGA Z370 Classified K, 134-KS-E379-KR, LGA 1151, Intel Z370, HDMI 2.0, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.1, USB 3.0, ATX, Intel Motherboard 134-KS-E379-KR Intel Z370 Chipset Supports Intel Socket LGA1151 Coffee Lake-S Processors Dual Channel DDR4 Form Factor – ATX SLI – 2-Way SLI + PhysX EVGA CLC 240 Liquid / Water CPU Cooler, RGB LED Cooling 400-HY-CL24-V1 400-HY-CL24-V1 Premium Retention parts for Intel LGA2066/2011/2011-v3/1150/1151/1155/1156/1366 and upcoming variants AMD retention ring for supporting AM2/AM3/AM4/FM1/FM2/TR4 and upcoming variants Fully controllable RGB LED Fan Size: 120 x 120 x 25mm (x2) Motherboard, Power Supply, and CPU Cooler.

Any idea where the best is to get this and the CPU? New Egg? Graphics Card - GTX 1070? I've read up on GPU's. I understand Nvidia has a surplus and bitcoin is down, so I need to wait a few weeks to a month.. Thanks, BNB
  18. It sounds like you got a good pc, so as far as Office... I office from home and MS Office is too expensive... Office. I use Open Office or Google Docs. They are both free alternatives. I have had nothing but success this these... https://sourceforge.net/projects/openofficeorg.mirror/ https://www.google.com/docs/about/ I mainly use google docs. The only time I use Open office is when someone sends me a .docx doc, then I use Open Office... Good luck..
  19. I saw it was Win 7. They have Win 10 for $110. I got mine when MS had free upgrade to 10. Anyway. They come with a year warranty. Mine is still running strong..
  20. I bought one a couple of years ago from Discount Electronics. It was $80 It has served my home office work computer purposes. They have a good return policy. https://www.discountelectronics.com/dell-optiplex-780-desktop-computer-windows-7-pro/ I got something like that 2 years ago.
  21. Yeah, I just read an article about all of these streaming companies now at a base rate of $40. They offered a service not as good as cable, but at a cheaper rate. Now they are working to offer the same thing at the same rate. I used to and still do use Kodi to watch tv shows. If they up the bill again. I will go back to not paying. It is not that big of a deal to wait 30 minutes for me to watch a show. ESPN now has a subscription. I just read on Troypoint.com there are a couple of services I could get for $10 a month to stream 400 channels using my android devices...
  22. It was May 13. I found a company. It was a mom and daughter. They were great, if anyone needs anyone let me know...

    Great picture! I was just thinking about that red "truck" recently and couldn't remember what it was called. I wanted to see what the value of those had done since it was only made for a couple of years.
  25. I read that a couple of days ago (ATT). I am on their $35 GO Big from when they started. It is now going to be $40, still cheaper than regular price of $60. I did a comparison of all the plans. I am still getting all the channels I want for the same price or cheaper than other services. I don't watch all these channels, and I would be happy with their base plan (which would be the same price).
