Re: Venting Thread Delta - Now With Easy to Follow Rules

Its currently 1 am and approximately 8 trillion degrees with no sign of any cooling inside or outside. And I cant even open a window because of gorram mosquitos. Seriously, I spent the last hour squashing about 20 of the fuckers and there is atleast one more in here...

@Merry, how many walls away is the wifi modem/accesspoint? I have decent experience just using a USB wifi adapter (And those are not that expensive). Ethernet over powerline adapters almost never works in my experience. Its too dependent on wiring geometry and even slightly suboptimal wiring means i...

Re: Ghostbusters 2016

Its a definite no for me. Judging from the trailers the whole thing just seems utterly stupid and lazy. Not because they made a remake featuring a female cast but because they just used EVERY stereotype in the book when it comes to character traits. We get "The sexy one", the "geeky o...

Re: Computer buying advice time (again, maybe)

Gaming, CAD work and some light video editing. (That last one was why I went for the i7) Looking at it now you might be right and I'd replace it in the list with the i5-6600K I might change the motherboard for a Z170 anyway, the B150 only supports the slowest DDR4, and the ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming is no...

Re: Computer buying advice time (again, maybe)

The 480s are pretty much only available in 8GB versions which are about 50 to 60 euros more expensive. I was thinking about dropping one GPU card and spending a bit extra to buy new monitors instead. In that case it might be worth it to go with a single RX480 instead of a single R9 380. I had the NV...

Computer buying advice time (again, maybe)

So, after over a year I've finally dug out my old desktop again and it's still as crap as ever. After reseating the videocard and memory it's now atleast running stable again, but it's certainly showing it's age (AMD Atlon 64, single core CPU, that should tell you enough :wink: ) I've made a prelimi...

Also Europe has said no tying this up in red tape, get out now. I hope this means England gets kicked out of the football. Which is an utterly stupid point of view to have. Even "the devil himself" (As some seem to think of him) Nigel Farage has said (multiple times, during the entire cam...

Re: LRR/DB EU Meetup

Dang, the timing is a bit unfortunate... I get back from a holiday with the glider club on the 14th... I might be able to shift around a bit. I'll have to await the definite plans, can't go begging my boss to change my vacation weeks then find out it's not happening.

Don't forget to ask if they have second hand amps. Some shops (or sometimes just the people working there) have a sort of side business buying and selling used equipment, and you can get a pretty good deals from someone who knows what they are selling you.

And in the typical routine, when I get really angry, I get worried. Now my stomach is gone, it's very trembly and I can't really eat much. Didn't realise until I checked that this was anxiety. At least that's allowing me to lose weight. Last time I had this I ate barely anything for a week. I know ...
