Super Saiyan 3 Goku 01/02/18 12:14:44 PM #11 | A lot higher.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 01/02/18 12:02:49 PM #38 | It's at 76 right now. I have hardwood floors, so there's not much insulation to go around to keep the heat in. I do have a fireplace too and I use it if I want to feel extra toasty. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
Topic | Lol if you can't drive manual |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 01/01/18 8:26:24 PM #26 | Nope, don't care about manuals. Neither do automakers because they're making less of them, which in turn is because people don't buy them. My car has paddle shifters and a sport mode if I want a little fun. Not the same as a third pedal, but it's good enough for me. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 9:40:14 PM #8 | Would never watch it in a million years.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 9:27:58 PM #24 | I'm 30. I remember the Spice Girls in their heyday when I was in like 6th grade. Crushed on all of them, but I'll single out Mel B. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
Topic | Streets of Rage |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 9:23:31 PM #13 | 2 and 3 equally. SoR3 doesn't get enough credit. More moves per character, special attacks with weapons, multiple endings, and insane difficulty (I love tough games). Of course, you can now play as Shiva, who became my main (formerly Skate) after I learned of the code. Though the American localization had a totally different story, I enjoyed it nonetheless. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
Topic | How do you use your credit cards? |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 5:58:09 PM #41 | Annihilated posted... I'm confused, does everyone think that you accrue interest just by having a statement balance? They shouldn't. At times, I'll make a certain purchase that'll put my utilization at around 10% when my statement closes (the 14th of every month). My statement summary will show the transaction, which will be paid off whenever it posts. Therefore, Chase sees that I'm using the card, but I never pay them I dime in interest. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
Topic | How do you use your credit cards? |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 5:23:10 PM #26 | a running balance does not improve your credit score Exactly, and I very well may adjust to that method.

Topic | What phone has the best battery life? |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 4:48:55 PM #13 | Well you just said that you're a heavy user. Maybe the reason why you can do all those tasks easily is because your phone has all those specs? All that takes processing power, which affects battery life. You can't own a Lambo and drive it hard, then complain that the gas mileage sucks. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 2:30:18 PM #36 | I'm not sure why people are drawing a comparison between Fox and other cable news channels.

Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/31/17 11:26:20 AM #3 | S8. Stay in the family. Of course the S9 is going to be out by like March, so you can hold off for that.

I have an iPhone 6s, but I never upgraded to ios11 because literally everyone I talked to said don't because it will ruin your phone. Should I get the replacement battery and then update? Didn't Apple say that the bug was dropped on iOS 10.2.X? IIRC, it wasn't introduced on iOS 11. My former 6 Plus was 10.3.X, so it had it. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
Topic | Apple apologizes for slowing down iPhones. Can pay $ to speed them back up. |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/29/17 10:28:34 AM #15 | Switched from my iPhone 6 Plus to Galaxy S8 Plus last month. My 6 Plus would have qualified for this battery replacement deal, however I had already replaced it earlier in the year. The battery life after replacing it STILL wasn't as good as it was when my 6 Plus was mint, so I'm going to assume that my CPU performance was still somewhat compromised. As for iMessage, I missed it for maybe like half a day. The amount of features my S8 Plus has is mind boggling - I realized just yesterday that I can auto call the person I'm texting just by bringing the phone to my ear. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

Topic | Going to go buy a new car tomorrow. Any tips? |
Super Saiyan 3 Goku 12/28/17 2:25:50 PM #25 | I will say though, for people looking for a new ride, look around for Certified Pre-Owned first. Certified Pre Owned is a lightly used car with a factory warranty - essentially what most of us in this topic recommended anyway. You let someone else take the major depreciation hit all the while gaining much of the benefits of a new car. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |

The Admiral posted...The smartphone industry in general is about due for a serious slowdown since the global market is pretty saturated and phone innovation has nearly stopped. A slightly better camera and another couple GB of RAM aren't getting people to shell out an extra $600-$1,000 for an upgrade every year at this point. I personally don't believe in those installment plans. All my phones are bought outright for reasons already stated. Had there been no notch, Touch ID included, a bigger body/screen, and more OS customizability, I might've gotten the X. This coming from a guy who had nothing but iPhones since 2009. --- When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don't adjust the goals, adjust the action steps. - Confucius |
