Re: Lakers/Nuggets Game 1 Tip-off in an Hour - 22 days ago
The Lakers shot like 75% for the 38 point 3rd quarter.... I was feeling good until the Nugs' Mega-Doofus hit that last second, excuse me three pointer; which gave me an immediate sour feeling. LeBron's fumble under the bucket during closing time was not helpful to the cause, either. Bring on Game 2. ==by Buzz - Tips and Deals

No matter how you package it, you can't go wrong w/ Krinkle Cut, Salt & Fresh Ground Black Pepper..... But on the serious side, after you get the pepper mill, the world is your oyster; you can score all sorts of peppercorns to put in it...... Pro tip; quite often you can find affordable bottles of peppercorns at places like Ross, Marshall's, Home Goods, TJ Maxx, Nordy's Rack, etc., thaby Buzz - Tips and Deals

Re: My battery, your battery, his battery, her battery? - 26 days ago
Quotesekker If you are rebuilding a 2012 laptop with a new SSD etc, I would spend the $$ on a new battery too. Older batteries will result in CPU throttling etc. The new battery in the 2010 is just a few weeks old.... if it'll fit the 2012, that'll buy time until I can find someone that can replace the bad dGPU cap in the 2010. Again, the 2010 is truly pristine, so I'd hate for such a silly litby Buzz - Tips and Deals
My battery, your battery, his battery, her battery? - 26 days ago
Will a battery from a 2010 MBP 15" also fit a 2012 MBP 15"? Both are form factor A1286, but do (obviously) have different model numbers. Online, there are batteries listed that say they do fit both of these models, but then to confuse me, there are also batteries listed that don't include both years/models in their description. What's the real, definitive story on A1286 battery fitmby Buzz - Tips and Deals

Re: E. Jean Carroll May Sue Trump a Third Time - 27 days ago
I would think that each successive "incident" should cost the Orange Menace more, and more each time around...... Until Trump stops. Clearly Trump hasn't been smacked down hard enough to stop his childish, bullying behaviors..... Which he will continue to do until it hurts him enough to want to stop, instead of feeling that hurt. ==by Buzz - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
