  1. Hager is a manimal. He was abusing the Oline.
  2. LG OLED B7A 65" is probably the best TV picture wise. But if you go bigger than 65", then the Samsung/Sony "LED" tvs are going to be cheaper.
  3. With all the big channels having apps now and on demand, are DVRs only useful for sports?
  4. I just closed on my home solo. TREC form is pretty standard. Make sure you fill out Section 23, which is your option. Fee should be no more than $250, and I'd ask for as much time as you can get (10 days at least). This is your get out of jail card (i.e., you can terminate and get your earnest money). If your option period expires, and you terminate, you lose your earnest money. Also make sure you pay the fee ASAP after the agreement is signed and get the seller to sign the option fee receipt on the last page of the form contract. That is super key. Seller pays for the title policy (6a). Make sure you attach all of the necessary addendums. Third party financing, HOA (if applicable), Non-Realty items (if you are getting any property other than fixtures), etc... Make sure you have the inspection done ASAP (if not vacant land) after signing. Section 6c deals with survey. You can use the existing survey if your title company and lender are ok with it, or you can get a new one done. If the survey is really old, or the seller has put up buildings or a fence since the survey was done, you might want a new one. Give yourself at least 20 days to get a survey done if needed. You may also want to opt for the additional shortages endorsement. Some people ask for a home warranty (7(h)). $400-$550 is customary and its a Seller cost. Title company will run title, but make sure you read the commitment and the exclusions and permitted exceptions in the commitment. For residential, that's usually all standard. But read it anyways and ask the title company if you have questions. The biggest time suck is negotiating any repairs and getting those done or costs approved prior to closing. It's friggin brutal. If you are financing, give your bank 30 days from the end of your option period to get the appraisal and close.
  5. Didn't that just move over to another site a while back after the original founder died of super aids? Is it totes shut 4 gud? Many years ago.
  6. Recently bought a house and inherited the prior owner's Bose Soundtouch 520 system. Its all wired into the ceiling of my living room. I'm not an audiophile, so the speakers are ok for what I watch and listen to. However, the head unit is a absolute POS. It doesn't support the new HDMI 4k spec, so I cant pass through any HDMI into it. Right now, all of my inputs run to my TV, and I have a fiber cable running to the Bose head unit. To make it worse, Bose's "soundtouch" wireless adapter doesn't let me stream anything but satellite and internet radio to the head unit. I thought about buying a receiver with an fiber optic out and just jury rigging it like I am with my TV currently, but I can't find one. I'd like to just trash the head unit and use the existing speakers (I want to avoid having to re-run wires etc). I believe the sub is wireless and tied to the head unit, but I plan on buying a sub to use along with a new receiver. Anyone attempted this (or know someone who has)?
  7. Eccie is gone too. Now how are hoes supposed to make that money for daddy?
  8. I've been using DTVNow for a month now and am pretty happy with it. I have the basic package, and its got the sports and 2-3 other channels I watch. I've realized I don't watch TV much anymore, and stream mostly youtube, netflix and hulu. I get all the locals through a HD antenna, which came with my fire tv as a bundle. Only thing I need now is a single remote to control the whole thing.

  10. They need to make another Blade movie. Snipes is broke, so I'm sure he's game.
  11. I don't know what's worse. The Next Karate Kid or this garbage.
  12. The ABC's of Beth is way up there too. Who knew just how fucked up she was.
  13. Me and my liter cola are ready.
  14. Has anyone asked portapotty girl what she knows?
  15. It's not like Blacklab agreed not to compete with that dick face.
