    Looking to learn to speak Spanish - suggestions?

    Actually my wife brought up the idea that she would like to and so I thought why not? So, looking for suggestions. Not knowing anything, I immediately thought of Rosetta Stone, but have seen a number of reviews that poke hard at the price and the lack of "conversational" learning. Thanks in...

    Home Printers all suck

    to borrow a phrase....(thanks Sam). Seriously the last 3-4 printers I have had all sucked greatly including Hp, Canon and Brother. Can anyone suggest one that might simply suck less? I would be looking at something that prints color, all in one (or not) and don't care if it is laser or ink...

    Tiger King (Netflix)

    So I'm kind of surprised that there isn't a thread on this already considering the impact its had on pop culture. If you've watched it, then you know what a crazy subculture the "big cat" people are. I had no idea. IF you haven't watched it and are looking for things to watch during the lock...

    Bed in a box?

    Cordless Electric Lawn Mowers

    Been thinking about whether or not to make the switch. I was looking at the EGO line that is sold by various places including home depot as well as amazon. Anyone have any experience good or bad with electric lawn mowers and hopefully these particular mowers? Battery technology has really...

    The Mayans (Season 1)

    Shocking that I'm the first (apparently) to post a thread on this show. Is anyone watching? I've only seen the first two episodes, but I am all in. Love the characters and the story line so far is compelling. Kurt Sutter has really returned to form. There have been a couple of notable SOA...

    issues with browser access via iphone safari browser

    Apparently an upgrade has occurred and I have no idea how to access the forum sections of HTF from Safari. I can get to a bunch of reviews and that is about it. I assume a cockpit error on my part but I have exhausted all noticeable avenues.

    Adding SSD Boot drive to new computer

    So I just bought a new desktop and haven't yet touched it (meaning it is still in the box). I have already decided I'm going to add a 256 gb SSD to use as the boot drive. I assume I should go ahead and fire new box up (the SSD doesn't deliver until Oct 11) and configure it and then install new...

    Vintage Pioneer SX-850 Receiver Recap?

    So I picked up off Craigslist a Pioneer SX-850 Receiver. These babies were made from 1976-1977. I have also recently picked up a pair of Altec Lansing Series 5 speakers that I just finished re-foaming the woofers and am getting ready to refinish the walnut veneer. I am not as concerned at...

    Backstrom Season 1

    Anyone else watching this show? It really is growing on me and Rainn Wilson is great in the title role. Great supporting cast including Dennis Haysbert. Any show that is selling itself with this kind of a promotion can't be all bad:
