  1. Looks at weekend forecast...Ten straight days above 95º starting on Saturday.. oh great.

  2. Anyone ever moved their mortgage and other loans onto one big loan on like Quiken Loans?

    1. HUSKERherc

      What makes up the other loans?  I've always been told you never roll short term debt into long term debt.

  3. How many of you work at a place where you and co-workers hit up happy hour on Friday after work?

      We've talked about getting something like that started, but too many people with Company vehicles.  Our insurance wouldn't take to kindly to that kind of risk.  We're also a small enough town that it's probably not the best look, to have a fleet of vehicles at a bar at the same time.  There's also a couple of people I work with that I'm afraid if I had a couple drinks I couldn't keep myself from popping off about the stupid crap they do.

  4. 4K TV or Projector? Which one do you prefer

    1. HUSKERherc

      HUSKERherc

      I did a lot of digging into getting a projector a couple years ago.  Everything I kept reading made me think I should step up to the next level of projector (more $ than I was comfortable spending).  Ultimately decided to stick with a 4K TV mainly because of the cost difference and the thought of running all the extra cables in our finished basement (i.e. power for projector, input, sound).

  5. Anybody else find it really annoying when you hear co-workers clipping their nails as their desk?

      You could have ended this question after the word "co-workers" and I would still say yes.

  8. Anyone regret cutting the cord for cable/satellite?  I know there’s been threads on here with this discussion but I can’t seem to find them. I’m pretty nervous about it

      I don't miss it at all.  I subscribe to Netflix and Amazon Prime year round, and Vue during football season.  I usually run my Vue subscription for about five months then cancel as soon as football season is over. The five month Vue subscription is probably close to one month of a cable subscription.

  9. Walmart is raising their base wage to $11/hour and offering paid parental leave. Almost zero large American employers offer this kind of leave. Hopefully other employers follow suit and this becomes the norm in America - we're the only major industrialized nation that doesn't offer this. American employers seem to punish families for having children. I always thought it was super weird.

      I worked at Walmart for five years back in the early 2000's.  While there, they rolled out pay increases two separate times.  Each time I thought I would benefit from the pay increase, but it was only for new employees.  They pulled me in to tout about my new pay.  It was five cents less than what I was making at the time and they just told my pay would not change.  At that time you also received a pay bump after a 90-day evaluation.  After two years working there and receiving their piddily annual raises, someone starting out brand new would have been making more than I was after their 90-day evaluation.  I'm sure not much has changed and it will be the same for their current employees that are just barely making $11.00/hr now.

  10. What do you put on your hamburger?

    1. HUSKERherc

      HUSKERherc

      I mix in diced onions, bbq sauce, shredded pepper jack cheese and bacon bits with the ground beef. When they're done, I'll add miracle whip, bread & butter pickles, lettuce, ketchup and mustard.

      Judgment Night. Wasn't actually allowed to listen to it until several years after it came out, but my brother had it and I would listen to it while riding in his car.

      I did the middle tier. I thought about doing the top tier, but didn't think there were enough channels I would watch to pay the extra $10/month. I had sling tv for a little over a year, but this looks like it offers much more initially.

  14. Took 2 hours + to buy a simple handgun today at Cabelas.

      Is that with a concealed carry permit? The last handgun I purchased took like 15 minutes. Just had to provide my permit.

  16. Who here has SlingTV? How do you like it? What do you hate about it?

    1. HUSKERherc

      Overall I'd say thumbs up. The issues are frustrating, but they do usually get corrected. I mainly watch ESPN, AMC and the two History channels. Never had a problem with either of the History channels. If they added BTN, it'd be even better.

      Yes, we have Cox Cable High Speed Internet. Every time Sling freezes up, I'll switch over to Netflix or Prime and they both work flawlessly. Switch back to Sling and it still lags. I'll usually hit up their facebook page when it happens and there will already be several posts about issues. Sling's usual response is to restart the app. I run it all off a Roku 3.

      I have Netflix, Prime and Sling. I like Sling mainly for ESPN and AMC. You can usually find something else on that's not bad. My biggest complaint has been the lagging and straight up not loading. For the premier of Fear the Walking Dead it was totally out for the first several minutes. The first Football game I tried to watch this year was the same result. It's been getting better, but it seems that any thing that is going to draw a lot of viewers bogs it down pretty bad. I kn...

  20. I find it hilarious that the other GOP candidates' only chance is to take shots at Trump. Which in turn works against them, because he doesn't try to deny anything, is completely transparent, and we continue to learn more and more about his views on politics while the others are doing nothing but trying to attack him. Sucks to suck, politicians.

      I couldn't stand the debate last night. It might as well have been Don King up there asking questions. All they were doing was trying to start fights between the candidates. Trump said this about you, now say something bad about Trump.

  21. Mrs. huKSer died last night after a long illness. At least she is no longer in pain. We've been married for 33 years

  22. You're in a hallway with doors leading to three rooms. In those three rooms, you have Jared Fogle, Bill Cosby, and a Florida State football player tied up. Who you going at with a monkey wrench first?
