    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.

    Outriders (Squeenix looter shooter)

    I know it was pretty much too late at that point but they DID fix the drop and legendary problems this game had. And youre right, with absolutely no pvp and mostly a single player game or CO-OP Im wondering also why the fuck they went down the road of nerfing everything to the ground. It sure...

    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.

    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.

    Well if they ration "all fuel' and electricity then panels and batteries are the only option. But Im not about to spend 100K for that shit lol, guess its back to stone age for me.

    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...

    LOL I remember even my wife was like WTF is that shit coming from your speakers? It was like 200% louder than the rest of the game for some reason.

    I paid about $2100 and got 32 gbs of ram, a 3070 and an extra 1tb SSD I bought myself, not to mention other name brand shit like MSI Mo bo, Cooler master 240mm AIO...etc... and this was at the height of video cards being $1500-$2000( because I had to buy pre built at the time to even get one). I...

    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.

    NAhh, fuck that week to week waiting. In fact if a show is like this I wait until all of them are released then watch it. Its why im still staying away from The Boys.

    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.

    In summer about $300 when it gets hot. In winter it varies anywhere from $150-200.

    We picked up one of those a few years ago for our cabin. But I think its even bigger than 8K. Paid like a grand for it at costco. It cools the entire living room area plus kitchen quite nice. Does not quite make it to the bedrooms down the hall buit cant expect one of those to do a whole place.

    I could imagine making something with that flexible 5" 6" dryer hose they have with a squirrel cage fan blowing through both compters and out with another piece going outside. Im sure something could be made to push a big volume of air in and out of the computers.

    I actually saw White zombie in a little club in Detroit called Harpos before they got famous. They were opening up for Danzig at the time, I think it was early 90s, maybe 91 or 92 ish? Anyway the stole the show. They had fucking huge ass Frankenstein monster dressed up chicks in cages on either...

    My kids room is a fucking sauna with his 6800x and 3800 AMD. Sure its the furthest room away from the heat/AC but still, its literally 10F-15F hotter in there than the rest of the house.

    When my kid did the sink in our little bathroom off the laundry room, we had the same problem. It trickled out at the bottom so I jsut told him to tighten the shit out of it since the rubber gasket on the bottom, the one that sits between the bottom of the sink and the drain nut was a hard...

    I haven't done a "full" playthrough but all that shit was nerfed to all hell. The game is not so easy anymore. Which is a good thing. Armor was nerfed Certain weapons were nerfed cold blodded got gutted other shit on trees got nerfed crit rate and dmg is way harder to attain....

    I mean, you knever know, but I dount they would fux with their modding community which singlehandedly made their games thrive not only in replayability but sales for decades after.

    The black on the floor of your basement below tiles is the glue they used to use back in the day. My old houses basement had linoleum tiles and where they stopped you could see the black underneath on the concrete.

    Woodworking

    Yeah you just get a jig. They sell them at the home cheapo for like $25 and then you have to get files # for your specific chain. Do one side first, it sets the angle for you , then switch to other side and do that. Jsut sit in a lawn chair with cold beer and get to sharpening.

    Photography (DSLRs)

    Just get yourself a basic body of any sorts. Canon or Nikon or even Sony will work and spend a little extra on a good lens for your purpose. Nice thing with sonys like A5000 (can find them for like $200) is they sell adapters and in camera focus aids to use any of the old school 35mm manual...

    Why not warlock? I think I have my warlock at like 99 res. (Never really sought after RES armor until this season) There is still the heal mod on picking up wells so when the healing seasonal mod goes away we still have that. Of all 3 classes I kinda dislike the hunter the most with the solar...

    The kid, which works for recycling on the weekends, found a pair of Bose bookshelf studio monitors. Pretty nice shape as well. It pains me to see shit like this tossed. ITs like WTF? So anyway he bought himself a Fosi BT30 for like $90 and hooked them up to the computer. Then like a week later...

    Thats the proc I had that was stuttering like crazy in BF5. I would get decent frames from my 1070 but every 30 seconds it would just freeze for like a second. It was unbearable. Got the 9600K and it really opened up that 1070. Was getting like 70-80 FPS in BF5 with no stutters at all.

    I remember the bitching the first week or so of this season how solar sucks..its not good like void was, the mods suck the builds suck...blah blah. It was all over reddit, post after post. After a few weeks when some builds came to fruition it was pretty apparent how OP solar is. Builds that...

    I think more adequate is about 3-4 yrs on CPU. But then again it all depend on what you are playing too. If you play the bleeding edge graphical shit on 1440 or more than youre gonna upgrade a lot sooner than every 4-8 yrs. I gave my kid my old i5 9600K setup, he plugged a 3060 ti in it and is...

    Last gen to this gen was basically 3070 same power as 2080 and of course the 3080 was 30% better than 2080 and so on. Im prob gonna skip this 40XX gen since I got a 3070 and pretty happy with it and what games I play, barring some new game that will crush the new cards or whatever but I doubt it...
