Sorry, one further thing: Yes, there are VERY real reasons why electric and natural gas cars are not common. Battery technology and capacity is only today becoming good enough that electric cars are worth a shit. And even then, range limitations remain very real, as do charging times. Not to...

It's funny, I get the exact same feeling from you when you ramble on about new American cars being fine, when I'm saying that European and Japanese ones of even very recent vintage are in some cases NOT fine at all, and that virtually all vehicles that are much more than 5-10 years old have very...

E-10 Alive: The corrosive damage ethanol gasoline does to your fuel pump | Equipment World | Construction Equipment, News and Information | Heavy Construction Equipment What You Arent Being Told About Ethanol and Corrosion E15 and Engines - Can Ethanol Damage my Engine There are real...

I'm not disputing that it's a good doc. However, there's more to long term use of ethanol as a fuel in a vehicle than just the emissions control module. Again, I personally know a guy who did a couple thousand dollars in damage to a motorcycle entirely because of ethanol. And my owner's manual...

The special lady friend would never even countenance the thought of me taking a pic of her naked, or doing one herself. She's not ashamed of her body or anything, she's just classy like that.

I've hardly noticed any difference since I upgraded to Win10. But then again, my desktop usage consists of either starting Outlook, Chrome, or a Steam game so it's not like I'm scratching the surface much. The new task manager is excellent, as is the new dialogue for file...

Planetary science hipster confirmed.

To be clear, I don't have anything against GTAV's multiplayer. I refuse to play any game MP. It's just never really held much interest for me. None of my friends game, so it's never really been a thing for me.

I don't think it's that simple at all. Ethanol is corrosive to certain materials, and unless the engine and fuel systems have been designed for that, it can cause a lot of damage. A friend of mine didn't know that and left a tank full of part-ethanol gasoline (not sure what percentage) in his...

Yeah, I really enjoyed GTAV's campaign, and refuse to fire up the multiplayer. It would be nice to get some more single player content.

Yeah, I may be incredibly autistic when it comes to dealing with women, but even I know that shit is a great way to get nut punched.

Mine's really smart though, and occasionally springs surprise tests on me to make sure that I was listening, and gets cranky when she figures out that I wasn't. Tricksy bitch.

That would be an emphatic yes. The special lady friend isn't too bad about it (she's not the cat fight kind of lady), but when she's stressed about something at work, I get to hear about it in excruciating detail. Yet when I start talking about something related to my work, I can see her eyes...

From my perspective, coffee tastes like shit unless you add so much crap to it that it's worse than an energy drink anyways. I don't drink energy drinks much at all, maybe half a dozen a year when I'm on a road trip and need the pick me up. As Soygen said, they're far more convenient than...

Yeah, watching Rush and Senna back to back was an extremely enjoyable experience. Pretty incredible that they have footage and interviews with Senna talking about safety and the like basically right up to like half an hour before he was killed.

I just think that for someone in a deep depression, the last thing they need is a dependency on pot, booze, or anything else not prescribed by a professional.

The effects of pot vary widely from one person to another. Personally pot makes me less confident and less social in most situations. And I definitely feel dumber when I'm high.

Steven Stamkos offers high praise for Connor McDavid of Edmonton Oilers Just to be clear, I've had an erection pretty much since April 18. It only goes away when my thoughts briefly stray to the whole 9 years out of the playoffs thing. But then I think of Hall and McDavid coming in on a 2-1...

He did eventually. But not before his actions painted him as a terrible human being.

My, someone's salty. It was a completely benign response:

I don't think anyone would disagree that you can get pretty good stuff comparable (but not equivalent) to Arc'teryx for significantly less. But at the same time, the design and quality (not to mention customer support) of their products is pretty tough to beat. People whose lives depend on their...

I played GTA 5 at 1080p on my HTPC, which is an i5-750 with a 670 GTX. I had to dial a few things back, but overall it hung on pretty well. In your situation, your GPU is a massive bottleneck for sure. Just upgrade the GPU for now, see how it goes, and then decide on whether to pull the trigger...

Totally depends what you're playing, what GPU you have, what resolution you play at etc. Some games use the CPU more than others. But in general terms the vast majority of games are far more GPU bound than CPU bound.

Tim's ditched making donuts in the store a long time ago as well. There's been lawsuits flying around between the original founders of the company, some very large franchisees, and the main corporation. Actually, maybe the lawsuits were concluded:A $2-billion lawsuit against Tim Hortons dies...

This show is basically Grey's Anatomy, but with aspects designed to attract/entice men (never watched Grey's, but I hear it when the lady is watching it on her tablet while making dinner or whatever. As far as I can tell, it's just doctors yelling at each other constantly). My girlfriend fucking...

Threw em out, they were wrecked. New over pants are grey. So I bought a red jacket instead:Overlord Resistance Jacket - Red | Products | Ride Icon Goes well with the Ducati.

I just received my Acer XB270HU last week and it's pretty incredible. Image quality wise it's every bit as good as my 10 year old Dell Ultrasharp if not better, and the G-sync capability is awesome. However I'm starting to wonder if the higher or variable refresh rate is giving me head aches or...

It might fit width wise, but length wise it'll stick out the top of the pocket when standing, and be uncomfortable as all hell when sitting. Which is basically what he was saying.

Yup, it worked. Why it wouldn't work with the USB stick, or why this entire process needs to be so fucking convoluted, I'll never know.

I'm flattered, but no thank you.

Super pleased with the new system I built (Desktop Computers - Page 273). It absolutely screams. I can play GTA V with pretty much every option maxed at a very consistent 50-60 FPS. The monitor is pretty goddamn awesome as well. Building the system and getting Win10 installed also went extremely...

Maybe one of the cheaper, non-mechanical Corsairs? The K30 and K40. I've been really impressed with my various Corsair products after building a new PC over the weekend and having a couple of their mechanical boards at home (K95) and the office (K70). All of it seems to be quality.

As you can see, the USB stick I made using that tool won't work. I'll give that page a try again, perhaps there's a different option from other than creating a USB bootable that will work.

Tell them to stop being such queens? If that's not socially acceptable, it fucking should be.

Old fashioneds go surprisingly well with brunch.

Like I said though, Microsoft told me on the phone that that method is absolutely NOT supposed to work. Upgrading is the only way, a clean install will not activate they said. Who fucking knows. Laptop is back to a fresh Win7 install, but now of course it doesn't seem to want to upgrade to Win10...

It was 100% for sure activated. I didn't write down a key though. I had read that the key that would be shown if I looked was just a generic one that wouldn't be useful for the clean install. Meh, who fucking knows. It's entirely possible that the method I tried worked originally, but then...

Called them today. They refused to help me, unless I paid $119 for a new key. They said that the only way to get an activated Win10 is to roll back to Win7, and then upgrade. So I guess all the guides out there saying that you can do a clean install with Win10 after activating a Win10 upgrade...

I don't think I understand anything you said in this paragraph. And I'm pretty sure I don't want to.
