    Destiny 2 - Clan Link 1st Post

    So far that's how I've played it, though not by choice. I have no idea how to interact, or work with others around me. No idea how to team up with clanners. This is the most anti-social multiplayer game I've ever played.

    Phobia of flying...what to take?

    I know your pain Brahma. I get panicked in tall buildings, on large bridges, and on planes. I choke it down and get on with my life when I have to cross a bridge or fly, but it still freaks me out a bit. My dad and step-mom are engineers for a jet engine manufacturer (P&W) so I'm very aware of...

    And control panel is one of the things removed from access when you Right-Click the start button. I'm an IT guy, when I'm on someones computer 50% of the time its to go into control panel.

    We did the grapefruit pulpin last year. It was ok, not the best, don't let the second stage with the grapefruit go too long, be exact about putting it in and then kegging/bottling.

    The Orville

    He's my only real issue with the show. I don't mind the character but he feels like too much of a blatant ripoff. I realize the Data/C-3PO type of character is basically archetypal in sci-fi, but he still feels like a copy that they didn't do anything to differentiate. He's just the VERY...

    The black helmsman's celebrating his kill was hilarious. Especially the whispered, "boom," at the end. Star Trek was too vanilla about that stuff. I feel like this is more true to what would happen with real people in space.

    Yeah there is that benefit. We just have a growler, so we can bring along a few beers worth to give out samples at a get together.

    Ugh, I despise bottling. If any of you haven't looked into it, kegging is so much easier. Rather then dealing with a large pile of bottles, priming them and then bottle conditioning for 4ish weeks. We can go straight from second stage into our kegs, turn on the gas, and we have beer in about a...

    The Vietnam War

    I'm on episode 3 right now. It's amazing looking at France's history in Vietnam before us, much like Russia in Afghanistan. We are so arrogant about our belief that we can do what others have failed at when it comes to imperialism.

    That's all we do. Making your own Mash from raw grain is a pain in the ass. We do the 2 hour extract brew to make our wort, though we've gotten into modifying it with extra malt. Next year I'm hopeful for my parents small hop planting to provide enough for a brew or two.

    Yessir. Roommate and I brew with a dual tap Kegerator. We have a Session IPA we just started last week using a British Ale yeast used for New England IPAs. We added an extra pound of malt, cuz sessions are for bitches. We currently have another 8 or so kits on deck. We buy them cheap on...

    So are you guys delidding just to replace the thermal compound under the IHS and then reattaching it? I've been out of the OC game with my i5-2500K being a beast for OC'ing out of the box back in 2011.

    Its not. It's just more popular overseas. My roommate uses FB messenger with us Americans, and Whatsapp to talk with Aussies back home. (He's a dirty foreigner)

    Ugh, roommates and I tried that a few years ago, for the HDMI line going from our entertainment center to our projector. Never got it to work. Note sure if its HDCP related, but it wouldn't work. So we just bought a 25ft HDMI cable.

    @Rangoth and anyone else who thinks chaps are a joke. They aren't. I was a lumberjack for a few years and have over 1000 hours of chainsaw run time under my belt. You don't need to be afraid of chainsaws, but you need to understand how dangerous they can be. As I said my chaps saved me from a...

    If you're picking up a chainsaw you better buy a pair of chaps as well. Chainsaws deserve respect, and ALL the protection you can have. A pair of chaps saved me from a 6 inch gash on the top of my right thigh...

    I do as well but I don't use excessive cases. I prefer Spigen Cases for protection without bulk. Tough Armor on my S6, Hybrid Armor on my S8+ (work phone) and Note 8. Otter boxes and such are stupid.

    The larger screen without notably larger size. I've been annoyed by the giant bezels since my first phone. This is the first phone I've used that feels like a screen in my hand rather then a screen inside an unnecessarily large box. It's ever so slightly wider, ~1/2" longer, but has 1.1" larger...

    So while performance shouldn't be much different between S8/S8+ and the Note 8 this video is really interesting about the impact of 6GB of Ram vs. 4GB. Note 8 is a worlds difference from my 2 generation old S6.

    I don't have an issue with the price considering it's the most used electronic in my life. There's a lot more frivolous things to spend money on then a mini computer i literally use for hours each day.

    What is this exactly? How often do you change carriers? I don't understand people's obsession with not being "locked in" It feels like a stupid cop out to keep "the man" from having power over you. What's the problem with a two year contract? Short of an unexpected sudden bankruptcy why is a...

    Samsung seems to be standing pretty hard and fast on keeping a headphone jack. Ironically, with others moving away from it, they may stick with it as a way to differentiate themselves.
