Not sure if it was in this thread, or elsewhere, but someone made a comment along the lines of "if your GPU can maintain 60 fps, you don't need G-Sync" recently. Whoever said that doesn't understand how G-Sync works, and is wrong. Even if your GPU is pushing 100 fps or whatever, G-Sync will...

Not really following any of the LA shit closely, but is FEMA shying away from trailers perhaps in some small part because they don't want to feed the usual Alex Jones FEMA CAMPS conspiracy bullshit?

And then the very next sentence:

Pussy.

Looks like Telus is finally getting fiber in to the industrial area my office is in. We've been on just barely working DSL for a long time, as there's no cable in the area. Prior to DSL, we were on wireless, which was awful, although I'm sure it's better these days. Our connection currently is...

So what are your projected timelines then? Level 3 was met by Tesla within the last year or two. When would you anticipate Level 4 becoming available? Tesla is saying 2018, apparently. Tesla and Musk never hit milestones, so maybe 2020 is more realistic. Do you agree/disagree with that? You seem...

Flood destroys home of Christian lobbyist who preaches God sends natural disasters to punish gays What a fag!

The Canuck's biggest failing is turning two excellent starting goaltender in to magic beans. Far and away. And then signing Ryan Miller to a huge contract right as he was about to fall off a cliff performance wise. Can we keep this up? I love talking about how awful the Canucks are going to be...

Fuck yeah, De Grasse gets silver in the 200m. Nice to see a Canadian back on the podium for the big sprint events. Been 20 years since Bailey was kicking ass. Need to import more Jamaicans. De Grasse's ability to maintain his top speed through the latter half of races is pretty impressive. If...

Hmm, I thought I had seen talk that they'd been asked about waiving the NTC, and had indicated they weren't interested and wanted to finish out their careers with the Canucks. Just did some Googling and couldn't find anything to back that up. Perhaps I had them confused with Hamhuis or...

The Sedin's have refused to waive their NTC when asked. That's not on Canucks management. That's on them. They are apparently content in closing out their careers as losers.

Technology in cars trickles down incredibly fast. Look at shit like ABS, traction/stability control, and air bags. All were initially only available in high end cars, but within a fairly short time frame they all became more or less standard features in even the cheapest of cars.

It always blows my mind when tourists in developing countries roll around with expensive jewelry on. What the fuck are you thinking? The only people you are going to impress are the criminal who will rob you of it. Leave your gold shit in the hotel safe.

Where do you work? Small/medium sized mechanical construction company. We do the plumbing, and sub out HVAC, sprinkler, insulation, controls etc What do you do? Everything that needs being done. Primarily I handle the day to day administration, and oversee estimating and design. My bro looks...

Can't wait for truly autonomous vehicles. I spend a fair amount of my weekends and vacations driving long distances to get to the mountains, and it would be fucking awesome to be able to sleep, read, get drunk, jerk off, or whatever along the way instead of sitting there, staring at the white...

Depends how much heroin or vicodin he's done while writing the article.

You have to keep in mind, that this is a guy who meticulously tracks the number of women he bangs, their ages, and their rating on a 10 point scale. He's probably got spreadsheets for it and shit. He's a unique individual, let's say. I've made a similar post in the past about this. People who...

Yeah, it's just asking for trouble. I had a friend who was in a long term relationship with a chick, and they put a deposit down for a condo pre-sale. Or rather, he did. She didn't put in a fucking thing for the deposit/downpayment to my understanding. But they co-signed on the pre-sale and...

78C is not bad at all. My 980ti will get up to 60C just from web browsing, and will run in the mid 80's in an actual game. Also, don't you think that a BSOD from trying to run a monitoring program is an indication that something else might be wrong there?

I'm getting a real kick out of the Bolt/De Grasse competition in the 100/200. Bolt just seems like an awesome guy, the way he's having fun with it. I love the smile and finger point after their semi in the 200 last night: He's all like "I see what you tried to do there, little buddy!"

To be clear, I wasn't even referring to you or your situation. If you're cool with it, awesome. Like I said, I don't have much interest in getting seriously involved with someone who already has kids, but I do keep an open mind.

Like I said in my original post, I have basically zero interest in raising someone else's kids. Shit, I don't even think I want to have or raise my own. I'm not as much of a cunt about it as Kirun, though.

Well I feel shame. Still don't see how some aspects of the show this season fit with him being in prison, though. Will definitely be going back and watching the season again once it's wrapped up.

That's all well and good for new buildings, and makes sense. But it's not a simple solution for existing ones. Just imagine the freak out if the Federal or a state government made building owners spend billions of dollars renovating existing washrooms in privately owned buildings, or itself...

Astro has been whining about having his name changed? This place is definitely home. I've said it before: it's like he never internalized the lesson that the more you let people get to you, the more they'll keep poking you. Jesus dude.

Soooooo, just wondering what the ground rules are for dating a single mom. Back story is that I was dumped by my woman back around Christmas last year, and it's been a huge dry spell for me ever since. I haven't had much luck on Tinder/Bumble, and haven't really put any effort in to the more...

Early adoption of new standards tends to expose you to that kind of shit.

I'm really curious to see how Larsson is going to look. I've never really seen him play. I don't think anyone would disagree that the Oilers lost that trade, but unfortunately they didn't really have much choice. They had to get a big minutes D-man, even if he's not necessarily a 40 point, top...

I was on Adderall XR for about a year, 5-6 years ago. I went to my GP, told him that I thought I might have ADHD as I was struggling with concentrating at work and accomplishing tasks etc, he asked a few questions, and then referred me to a psychiatrist. I chatted with that guy for maybe 20...

Yeah, sorry bro, but the "sharing economy" has been a well used term since at least 2010. Outside of Airbnb, Uber, and a few others though it hasn't really seen mass adoption. Turns out people don't want to lend their weed whacker to a perfect stranger, because that asshole will probably bring...

I did a roughly 2.5 week trip to NZ about 10 years ago with a couple buddies. Loved it. Unfortunately I only had time to check out the North Island. My buds continued on to the South island for another 3 weeks. So you can easily spend a good 4-6 weeks if you're exploring both islands. If you...

McDavid. That is all.

Ain't nobody got time for that.

Even short term bond funds can suffer a capital loss over time periods of less than whatever their average duration is (probably 2-3 years). Not a significant loss, no, but you could see a decline in value of a few percent. If the money is truly short term savings that might need to be accessed...

Yeah, that ain't gonna happen.

I might give that a try. Not sure if it's been a full year yet, or perhaps more. Hopefully they're cool about it. It's getting pretty annoying. Some of the most used keys have gone out: backspace, F8, F9, insert, page up, numpad -.

I still find that whatever Chinese import Qi charger I bought for my Nexus 4 still charges my S6 from near zero to full in about two hours. Not sure if that's beaten by newer ones, though.

So I just used the quote feature for the first time, and it blew my fucking mind! No hedging at all, no. So looking at it one way, currently about 55% of my portfolio is CDN, 30% is USD, and the rest is mostly Euros, pounds and yen. In practical terms most of my money is held in TSX/CDN traded...

No worries. At it's most basic, index investing really is VERY simple. But once you start getting multiple accounts (TFSA, RRSP, non-registered, corporate, etc) it can get pretty complicated. That blog, as well as Canadian Portfolio Manager can be hugely helpful in addressing some of the more...
