    I thought it was a fun fact to share with my board brethren. But low and behold, the board faggot always has to step in and ruin it.

    With great power comes great responsibility. :D Point still stands, if at this point you have a 1080 ti. Might be the time to upgrade to a 4XXXX series if any are available of course.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 30x0 cards

    Yeah, always match your GPU to your screen you are using or are going to buy. But from all accounts a 3070 is about the same as a 1080ti. So if you want something with better frames go 3080. Or honestly just wait for the 4K series to come out and see if you can score one of those, or maybe...

    SWTOR

    Back when I played it like 2 yrs ago it was solid time for a tab target MMO. Took a marauder through the story plus all the expansion stories. If you like the whole SW thing this is def solid. The sounds, the music, the stories are all top notch for a mmo. They dumbed down a lot of the leveling...

    We never forced our kids to eat anything. We offered new foods to them to taste and if they didnt like it they would not eat. Simple as that. Having 2 kids now 18 and 20 I know how their tastes change over the years. Shit they eat now with us they simply would not touch back when they were 5-6...

    I make chicken and sausage gumbo all the time. The wife and kids love it. Roux is def the secret here not some flour you just add to the veggies and fry it up, it needs to me made separate into a golden dark goodness and a lot of it depending on how big your pot of gumbo is. I use cut up frozen...

    Home Improvement

    My house is 1971 and there are no GFCI in any bathroom. Must have been a later code that required them. Only GFCI was the one outside but again every plug on the circuit after the GFCI was protected, which was a few plugs on the same wall in my master bedroom. So I split the GFCI off to be...

    I had a GFCI that was outside and it was wired in circuit with other plugs in bedrooms down the wall of the house. Took me like a month to figure out that it was all fucked up wiring whomever put that GFCI outside. Rewired that shit and it worked like a charm. Might want to check if you have any...

    The only thing that sucked for me when they transitioned to the f2p was they removed all the boss loot I used to farm for and put it all on the market. like the brown light sabers and other shit that you could upgrade and keep using with better and higher level components. I quit in disgust over...

    Total Recall (1990)

    Im sure the big physique is a turn of for many women, that being said its prob attractive for others. The whole "protector" thing they have engrained on their hind brains since the cave days. But lets be clear here, thes movies were not made for chicks. These were guy flicks all the way.

    Its the RMT market running the show. As a league progresses in game currency gets cheaper and more pelntiful for those that want to spend RL cash on it. The fucking whales. For instance 80 ex is like $20 now.

    Got a huge pork butt from Kroger when it was on sale for $2/lb, cut that shit up into steaks and BBQ 1/2 with sauce, 1/2 plain. Cut the steaks into little strips on wraps with cole slaw or with salsa and cheese. Yummy.

    Do we even have any mild weather states? Its either cold as fuck in winter or hot as fuck in summer. Even here in MI we get 90s all the fucking time for 3 months.

    BTW they DO make filters of that size. jsut measure the metal filter and go to home cheapo and I guarantee they will have a paper box filter of that size. The proplem with those is they dont last that long and start to impede the air flow.

    I have one of those, prob older model but it has 2 in line "filters" that connect to the power source. When we bough the house the inspector told us to wash the filters in the dishwasher at least every season. Not sure yours are washable but they should be as a black sludge of dust and...

    Testing in real world is vastly superior to any lab testing. Jsut the fact they are putting this tech in a vehicle means it already went through years of lab testing.

    From their explanation putting it in a hybrid makes more sense in testing since the smaller battery is charged and discharged at way higher rates than in pure EVs. So they will get way more data this way in performance over pure EV on this new tech. Supposedly for the same weight in a pure EV...

    Toyotas new battery tech seems really promising too. We might be turning the corner on battery tech. All solid state, way more power storage potential in a vastly smaller package. Someone linked it here like a few weeks ago.

    I know it was pretty much too late at that point but they DID fix the drop and legendary problems this game had.

    Mine is about 2K SQ FT ranch so that does not help but in summer its about $10 per day. In winter it goes down to $150ish per month but obv gas goes up because of heating. So it all averages out.

    The Home Energy Thread

    Well you ARE in S florida, im assuming, so you run your AC 24/7. Still $200 a month is cheap. In summer here running my AC plus our average other usage its about $300 and in some cases of extreme heat even higher.

    No basically hooks up to your nat gas line. You do have nat gas right? They way it usually works is it automatically starts working when your power goes off, but im sure they have ways to do this with a switch as well. I know where I live nat gas is way cheaper than electricity...

    The cost is still tooo prohibitive. Something like $50k give or take to get a system like this up and running and it will take you 20 some years to recoup the costs associated. I would go for a nat gas powered whole house generator instead. Cost is about $10k with install if that. I mean you...

    Yeah when you play this a few leagues you come to realize that the tree only has a few viable options for any given class. They all look so similar top eachother. It gives you a false sense of all these options when youre a noob when you really dont have any.

    YEah it would take a next gen game that was GOTY or some shit to make me upgrade. And even then it would be a hard sell. Unfortunately most of the games are being made for the current consoles. 2k 120 or 4k 60.
