QuoteMr Downtown I paid $50 per semester in tuition at the University of Texas School of Law 1979-82. Not $50 per semester-hour; $50 per semester! damn. I think you win. wow.by mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals
My kid got his first job at a store making $18.50/hr. What does that do to the 44 year old guy who is trying to enter the job market? he's going to be making maybe a dollar or two more than my inexperienced kid. not a confidence builder. people are discounting how much self esteem plays in these decisions.by mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals
I don't think that spatchcocking is really roasting, it's main use is to cook it evenly across, such as on a flat top or grill. in an oven, the heat is all around the item, so it's not much of an issue. like others above, I think a plain old roasting pan is find, and I like those with a little insert at the base so it holds the meat elevated, to catch the fat. if you don't have that, pile theby mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals
was the Nikon D3 a full frame? then, yes, better probably. although if you can get the 7100 to work, it may offer just as good or better resolution. I have read that the color on the earlier Dx models was nicer.by mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals
Quoted4 When shopping for a car (used or new), go in prepared to purchase it, but at at time when you DO NOT absolutely need it. Walk out of the dealership with no regrets, run some errands, go home. Repeat in 2 weeks, or however often you run errands. This is a good method. Unfortunately in this case, the car is some distance away, so just to negotiate is a phone or email process.

I'm looking at used cars, on the cheap side to be sure, but no one seems interested in selling. come on, let's haggle! but, no, I guess. and, no, these cars are not jumping off the lots; at least, what I am looking at buying.by mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals

Quotesekker I honestly this we are talking relatively small differences between the M-series chips. The M1 Pro is a GREAT chip. The M1 is slowly getting edged out, but it’s STILL a great performer compared to any Intel machine. As for RAM, two things to keep in mind. First, Apple has optimized RAM and 8GB is not terrible. I prefer 16GB or more when I get a Mac, but I can afford it. I had a hby mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals
I don't have any links, but I'm seeing TV ads targeted to NH voters, since we are so close and they are in our media market. Luckily, I don't watch much TV, but wow, I've seen a bunch of Nikki ads where she roasts China. And mentions of "communism" many times. Are the scaries back?by mrbigstuff - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
Quotefreeradical All roads in urban areas suck. The NJT is probably the best of the turnpikes in the northeast. Plus, the many miles of separated travel lanes for cars and trucks. Northern Jersey is a hellscape of roads I'll grant you that.by mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals

that is similar to what I have to do, which is lube a blower motor (bada bing!) inside the firewall of a car. otherwise, the alternative is to rip out a good part of the dash (and firewall) to get to the damn blower.by mrbigstuff - Tips and Deals
QuoteOmbligo Just because the cost of producing a product has come down does not mean the retailer is going to lower the price, it will just take the higher profit margin. this, for sure. the only place I reliably trust to give the best price is Costco, as they seem to have lowered prices on their products as their suppliers lowered their prices. I fully realize that Costco has some insane purcby mrbigstuff - 'Friendly' Political Ranting
