Friend being gifted an MSI GS60 6QE. Will it run an external monitor OK? - 16 days ago

Will it need an adapter? Will it run a Late 2009 iMac monitor if the Mac has a bad video card? What kind of midrange monitor would he pick up at Best Buy?

Re: RIP: B.J. Thomas [ singer ] at 78...... - 16 days ago

BJ got arrested at my college in the 70's. There were two colleges next to each other with a gully between them where guys would go to get drunk and fight. BJ was down there mixing it up after a concert.

Re: Navy Blue Angels USNA 'Rehearsal' - 17 days ago

I was at an outdoor party near the airport in Little Rock. I was asked along with another guy to help old people down some porch stairs. A display from the airport started (I don't remember if it was the Thunderbirds or Blue Angels), but my partner said he used to fly with them. He gave me a play by play OD what they were doing, what was coming next, etc. it was a remarkable afternoon.

Re: RANT: oil change Bozos (long) - 17 days ago

I've had three fairly minor incidents (that could have turned major) using Walmart. What should the protocol be to check things before leaving the property or at least before driving? Is checking the dipstick good enough? Making sure the cap is replaced? Looking for tools left under the hood? That happened to me. How can you be assured they used premium oil rather than Acme brand from a big drum?

Re: Cold Hearted Coffee.... Does anyone Cold Brew their own ? - 18 days ago

I don't like coffee but I made it a few times with 6:1 water to beans overnight in a big pickle jar. I used a basic cheap filter the next day and drank it cold. If someone wanted it hot, I nuked it a few seconds. It was less bitter like that.

Does it hurt if the HVAC AC runs but not the outside fan? - 23 days ago

After a problem with the the outside fan not coming on, a guy looked at it and said the capacitor tested OK and it started working OK the last three weeks or so. Today it's not coming on. Sometimes I set the thermostat and it comes on and I don't realize it. If it runs awhile without the outside fan, can it damage the unit?

QuoteJoeM Quotejonny QuoteDennis S Did David Lindley record the slide guitar? I was wondering the same thing. I was sort of bummed to see he wasn’t in the video. That’s Greg Leisz on lap steel. He’s been with Jackson Browne for a number of years now. Here’s a great video of them: He's Lindley-esque enough, but Jackson really needs David Lindley. Sort of like Buck Owens and Don Ric

Re: welcome to the hotel California?!.....Hilton announces changes to the free breakfast..... - 27 days ago

My bandmate and I, both Hicks from Louisiana and Arkansas, were eating breakfast at a nice hotel somewhere in New England. We were used to the free breakfasts in motels where we usually stayed. My bandmate asked a waiter if the breakfast was a "continental" breakfast, but he meant "complementary." We dug in and while we were relaxing and letting the excellent free meal sink in

QuoteC(-)ris QuoteDennis S The body shop can pull the door panel for about $20 and an eBay handle is less than $10, which he will install. I'm going to do that. Where the heck do you find a body shop that doesn't charge $125 an hour with a 1 hour minimum? I know. This place has a good reputation. It's the first time Ive been there.
