Wasn't 4 Loko banned for being too strong? Don't recall the specifics but that poo poo tasted like turpentine.

They had to remove the caffeine and stop marketing it as an alcoholic energy drink. Which was the only reason anyone cared about 4Loko.

I've always thought that the G5 Powermac's metal case looked really cool - but can it still do useful things if I bought one on a whim?

I have an old blue and white G3 tower that I'd like to stuff a mATX motherboard in at some point. I genuinely love that era of apple's design and the fold down case was awesome for working in.

Does that have the same kind of effect on game loading times as it does on everything on a pc? I assume disc based games would still be slow, but I really don't know how much data gets transferred to the drive when you play a game.

Unless he has a PS4 pro it won't make as much of a difference as you'd expect. The Normal (and launch) PS4 hard drive runs on SATA 2, while the Pro is on SATA 3. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2016-is-it-worth-upgrading-your-ps4-with-an-ssd

That said, all games install completely to the HD now; a disc version just saves you the download and is used as a license check.

I was about to say, hasn't difficulty gone up so much that only ASIC farms in China are making a profit? I haven't really looked at it for a while, but has price gone up/difficulty gone down so much that it's profitable to mine with GPU again? Also wasn't AMD GPUs better suited to mining when GPU mining was still a thing?

There's a new bubble mining something similar but distinct from bitcoins. Prices are high enough and nVidia's lead big enough that their lesser efficiencies are overcome by overall speed.

Are these Alexa/Google talkie whatever devices worth getting and why are they worth getting?

They're neat. Being able to yell in a room "Hey google, question?" and have a voice answer you most of the time is pretty neat. I had thanksgiving with the family last weekend and could just yell Hey google, play Christmas music, and it would.

How worth it is to you is going to depend on the novelty of being able to do that and how much you're willing to invest in the rest of the home control infrastructure.

That said, I just bought a smart plug so I can command it to turn the Christmas tree on/off.

Why yes, that line is wrapped around the block, and 3+ hours for lunch is not that unusual these days. I love it and live just 1.5 miles away but still haven't gone in more than a year. You should still do it once if you like bbq at all. After that, get 90% of the flavour for 10% of the wait at Micklethwait's.

This has been your Austin bbq derail.

To continue the derail, I know Frankin's is supposed to be amazing, but I have a hard time believing anything would live up to that much hype.

The problem with TVs is that they last forever. I bought my first ever HDTV in 2007 and it's still working like a champ. Yeah it's plasma and it's heavy but it still looks good IMO and I can't justify buying a new TV.

This is the problem the manufacturers have been trying to combat for a while. First, it was 3D and higher refresh. Now, they're trying to get everyone to transition to 4k.

I bought my tv in 2012 and it's still fine. Athough, for what I paid then, you can get one that's at least 10" bigger on the diagonal and 4k.

Thanks! Doesn't seem like there will be much unexpected PO nonsense. Almost everything that really matters has been replaced or updated already. Had all the proper inspections done and everything is in order. No horse infestations or anything. It's a meager 1/3 acre anyway so it's Shetland ponies for me if anything. Its enough space for my wife and I, our kids and cats. Been trying to talk the wife into getting a Corgi though. That yard is plenty big for a dog with tiny little legs.

The place has all new appliances as well, aside from a fridge. Been looking at one like this..



Anyone have any advice? We'll be getting a chest freezer so that isn't really an issue. I love the idea of a windowed door. Gotta have an Ice/water dispenser too.

That looks real similar to the one my parents bought 18ish months ago. The door in the door is convenient when you get used to it.
