I put "some college", but I have a doctorate in shit shepherding.

Very much agreed on the K70. Great keyboard.

Whoops, thought Phoenix was talking about project Orion. I'm not familiar with this NERVA stuff.

Uh, in what way is "kicked some fancy ideas around and wrote a paper or two" considered "perfected" for any advanced technology or propulsion system? The idea is neat in terms of interstellar travel, but considering how risky and expensive it remains to get shit in to LEO, I'd think that nuclear...

Really depends on your GP. I can generally get in to see my GP on a day's notice, or less. He runs a really tight ship. Appointments start pretty much right on time, and he doesn't fuck around. If it's something minor like a prescription refill or a quick checkup, I'm in and out in 15 minutes...

Doesn't help when the plan is changed every 5 years and it's never properly funded.

As a medium sized business owner, I can quite emphatically say that it's wonderful not having to give a single fuck about health insurance for my employees. We have a supplemental insurance plan for dental/optical/pharmaceutical coverage amongst other things, but that's it. I can't imagine...

For the rich, it unquestionably is. The same can be said for some other European systems, like the Swiss. I don't deny that. Our system isn't perfect and there probably should be more private delivery of some health care services within the single payer system. But for the other 98% of the...

You're a fucking moron. Canada spends half as much of it's GDP on health care, and has better health metrics pretty much across the board. There's definitely some problems with rationing/wait times for some specialist services, but overall you will not find a single Canadian who would trade...

Double!

Well, at least until you're old balls and have to wear reading glasses. Not much lasik can do for that.

Yeah, makes me think that the pump and/or cooling plate or whatever it's called are holding the radiator and fans back.

I can attest that the stock fans that came with my H110i GTX are fucking loud as shit past about 40%. Or maybe not loud, but the sound they make is obnoxious anyways. And near as I can tell, fan speed doesn't seem to impact my CPU temps at load. I've been meaning to troubleshoot it, but haven't...

Actually, as it turns out I won a watch (Seiko SNE397 Solar) and some Samsonite luggage! I would have preferred the Targa.

Yeah, I've always had problems with numb feet, and personally have had the best luck with extremely thin socks.

I like Damon. I just mean that Pine looks vaguely retarded/downy to me, and actually resembles Damon's doll from Team America.

hah, your woman must work for someone I know. I was at a business association meeting the other day and someone mentioned that one of their employees or someone they knew somehow had won the car in that lottery. Fucking garbage, I bought like $500 in tickets and didn't win a goddamn thing.

This is all I can see when Pine is on screen: He's more MATT DAMON than Matt Damon.

That's what they consume, but with inefficiency, that means more like 200w at the wall and in terms of the rating for the PSU. If his Dell came with a 300-400W PSU or something silly, it would be shy. 500W would likely be fine. It was 4 years old, bro. I'm notdesperate.

It's probably made in the same factory that Seasonic, Corsair and a half dozen other brands are. But yeah, it's probably marginal capacity wise for a 970.

So it's confirmed that the 670 has gone wonky. Installed it on my office workstation and it's crashed the display driver a couple times just looking at PDF's and web pages. Fucking bizarre that the problems started at the exact same time that I upgraded the HTPC to Win10. What a waste of time...

You can buy 6 to 8 pin adapters. They're like 5 bucks.

It would appear that varies by state, province and/or country, but for the most part, yes you do. And many are master or doctoral level.

I used to have pretty continual sinus congestion/drip issues. Caused by rhinitis/allergies. Doctor gave me a prescription for Flonase, which is a corticosteroid I believe. It takes a week or two to kick in, but after awhile most of my nose/sinus issues went away. And I became way the fuck less...

Yeah, a good boot fitter is paramount. The worst part about skiing is the boots. Just got back from doing a 20km ski tour yesterday, and my fucking feet are killing me. And those are actually halfway decent fitting boots. There's just no avoiding foot pain, unfortunately. Boots are generally...

So, I bought a new monitor to use at the office. A Benq GW2765. It's being driven by an old Geforce 460. When I first fired it up, they were connected with an old VGA cable. Sure enough, I couldn't set resolution to anything past 1920x1080. So then I tried a DVI cable I had laying around. Most...

Yes. Most of chiropractic is utter bullshit. True believers in that crap reject the germ theory of disease, for christ's sake. It probably does help with some lower back pain and perhaps some other joint ailments, but that's about it. Chiropractic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In doing some reading about the magical negro thing, apparently Detta wouldn't actually fit in the trope. But in any case, it's pretty obvious that they'll have to fairly significantly change that character to avoid people losing their shit.

Are you fucking retarded or something? I was talking specifically about life insurance rates. There is not a goddamn chance that occasional pot use is within several orders of magnitude of risk as compared to tobacco.

heh, there is no fucking way that Detta isn't either completely wiped out from the story entirely, or massively altered. Not a chance in hell she remains as written in the books. And honestly, King DID have a bad habit of over using the magical negro trope. The Stand, Shining, Green Mile, The...

So romantic!

When playing on my HTPC, I swap back and forth. Controller for driving/flying, KB/M for shooting. They both work well for everything, though.

haha, fuck, I forgot about Chorney. I was watching a Caps game the other day on TV and the name came up and I was like "Chorney, are you fucking with me?" He was a high second round pick of the Oilers back in 2005, but was never quite able to break in to the NHL. One of those guys that is very...

I sold my condo 10 years ago using a commission free listing service. Went great. Each side still needs a lawyer, of course, but otherwise it cost me a grand instead of 10k. Fuck residential realtors, seriously. Commercial is a totally different ball of wax.

I think that would probably be a fair trade. Laich's contract value is worse in terms of amount and value for the player. He's 32 and that's right around the time guys like him fall off a cliff performance wise. Maybe even a year or after that, judging by his stats. Just goes to show you how...

Yup, it's funny how quickly it changed. 2 years ago the Pacific was the consensus toughest division in hockey. But with SJ trying to rebuild on the fly, Vancouver inevitably dropping as the sisters fade, Calgary and Colorado reverting back to reality and Anaheim shitting the bed to everyone's...

It's definitely the best of the Calgary-area resorts, but that's not saying much. The front side is generally garbage since it faces West-Southwest and gets too much afternoon sun. But yeah the backside and Larch can be pretty good. It's been a few years since I've been there, but I don't think...

I use Quicken, and yeah, if you aren't tracking spending like groceries, gas, eating out, liquor etc then the budget isn't worth a shit. A $3 coffee per work day is nearly $800/year, for example. I think the average person who doesn't track their spending would be shocked that their...

Nice. That movie was fucking hilarious, and yet no one saw it. Or at least the uncut version was fucking hilarious. I dunno, maybe I just really like seeing a black dong bounce around while running through a cornfield.

Yeah, I've been told this as well. By my insurance broker, who knew I smoked pot and had to pass a test to get a fairly hefty policy. I mean, he didn't come right out and say it, but he basically told me to make sure I went to an all I can eat buffet a couple times in the days leading up to the...
