    There used to be a product called interwoven teamsite that was this weird flat file "CMS" that basically did exactly what you are asking. If it still exists it's probably expensive and non-trivial to set up. I did however develop a script way back in the day that would look for a "last updated"...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Smoking was the only thing I ever felt truly addicted too. I dipped for a couple of years after I quit smoking and just decided one day that I didn't want to any more and that was that. Never craved it, never missed it. Same with vaping, bought a bunch of shit, tried a whole bunch of different...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    No one gets smoking at first. I don't even fully understand how or why I started because my parents smoked like chimneys and I hated it as a kid. Yet by 16 I smoked a pack a day. Didn't help that my local corner store never asked for ID either. It's been almost ten years since I quit so it...

    If you want to go dirt cheap, get a vox amplug and just run it to the line in Jack on your PC/speakers. I use a line 6 pod ux2 and it's a decent little interface/ amp modeling software package. I like it for just rocking through my speakers.

    I like to right click -> remove from start menu everything that's in the start menu by default. Then, hit the Windows key (or click start) and just start typing anything you want to run. It will pop up if it's installed, i.e. type chrome and chrome shows up. At that point right click and hit...

    Do you have the Nvidia GeForce client installed? Disable driver updates through Windows and then update your card through the GeForce client. It should also detect your games and give you options to optimize for them.

    Well you're not really paying to keep it hot. At least that much. It's like filling up a thermos. You do want to try and right size it though so you are at least using what you heat for the most part.

    It takes the same amount of travel time. That's likely not the problem though. It's just that the boiler has to heat the water on demand and it's not keeping up. If you have a tank, it has 40-50 gallons that is pre heated, so it can send that right away.

    Massive clouds can probably just add some extra compute to mitigate the throttling. It's the on premise stuff where you're utilizing most of your capacity as is that will hurt. I guess it will speed up equipment refresh cycles in both cases though.

    If it's taking more than 3-4 minutes the boiler is falling behind id think. The tank would solve that issue at least until it was drained since you have 40-50 gallons of pre heated water. Would be nice to somehow combine both but that's probably unnecessary 90% of the time.

    Try cranking the temp up on that boiler a little bit. Having the water hotter than normal might help combat the cold pipes. Just don't forget to drop it back down when it's not so cold

    Voice comms in EQ have always been the worst. The trick is to either just get your whisper groups set up proper or if you're in a guild that rocks TS/Vent/non-discord then rock a discord on the side. I also agree about the discipline. I almost get irritated at people who try too hard in EQ...

    Do you use the boiler for heating too? It's either a northeast thing or an old house cause I hardly ever see boilers used anymore and that's pretty odd that the boiler also heats up the water too. I mean I guess it makes sense since it will be doing it anyway, but if it's not your primary heat...

    We know you get the point and are just looking for opportunities to call people faggots and retards. But in case other people don't, if the thought of a dog biting your kid gives you the urge to snap it's neck or is otherwise intolerable to you, don't get a dog. You can be adults and think a few...

    You could also not be retarded and default to a shitty "I already had the dog," excuse. We're you incapable of knowing you wanted kids in the future when you got the dog? Or did you just not know that having a daughter would bring out the neck snapping Savage in you?

    You could also just not get a dog if you're the type who'd snap it's neck for biting your kid. It's no mystery that animals byte and kids fuck around with animals.

    I wasn't directing that towards you, it sounds like your situation will be ok with a little extra training to both pets and kids.

    If it's a constant issue then yeah I'd get rid of the pet. But it really pisses me off when people get rid of their animals because of one or two little incidents.

    I was eyeing Schecter Hellraiser 7-string guitars that I thought looked pretty slick. Didn't really check out any of the rest. My favorite guitar and the only one that I've held steady for the past 10 years is a Schecter S-1 and it's been great quality wise.

    Did you try replacing the outlet it's plugging into? Or at least check that all the wires are hooked up correctly? Might not be grounded or have hot/neutral reversed. Are all of these power lines on one circuit?
