Cut your ram back from 32GB to 16GB and use that extra money for an i7. Money MUCH better spent. You can always add more ram later, but you'll always regret an underpowered processor.

BBC News - Sir Terry Pratchett, renowned fantasy author, dies aged 66 That sucks, he wrote a lot of amazing books, was one of my favorite fantasy authors. Also, obligatory "George RR Martin is only 2 years younger than Pratchett" I really liked the PC adventure game from the mid 90s as...

I might try putting my incinerators closer to my population areas. Right now they're all out at the edge of town(like 6 of them) on the end of my industrial area. Also, is there any reason to keep manufacturing industrial areas once you have a well educated population? I've had a college...

I had Space Hulk on my 3D0, damn fun game.

Garbage is definitely my biggest issue. I even have enough incinerators that I burn more than I collect, but I still end up with a random dump that ends up full and stops sending out trucks once in a while, and a whole section of the map will start bitching about their garbage not being picked...

A little off-topic, but I found this fairly interesting... Had a customer in our office who works for a company that lays fiber optic lines for telecom companies. So I asked him if they had been doing any work for Google in the area, and he said a little, here and there(they lay the empty...

roundabouts, roundabouts, roundabouts, roundabouts. Roundabouts everywhere and no real traffic issues(garbage still struggles at times, but that's about it)

I keep getting to about 10K people and then my traffic backs up so bad that my power plants can't get their coal and the town loses power and everything goes to shit. I really hope I don't have to build a town like the damn Sim City traffic workaround with just one giant snaking 1-lane road...

Interesting numbers. They have a 970 equivalent to the original Titan. Titan release dates have been Original Titan = Feb 2013 Titan Black = Feb 2014 Titan X = March 2015 They release one every year like clockwork. First two were $1000 cards, 3rd one is expected to be $1500+. So from...

That's what I get for jumping in head-first with no research or not watching any videos, lol. Definitely a few large differences in how some things work compared to Sim City. Its kind of fun playing a game like this without knowing how everything basically works before you even start.

Oh hell, really? From the descriptions on the water pump facility and sewer waste facility, it sounds like you want to place them far away from each other and not mix the waste, I thought you had to run 2 completely separate piping systems. It was costing me a damn fortune, no wonder I was...

I feel like my biggest pain in the ass is running water/sewer lines since they can't ever intersect. I feel like I'm playing a game of Snake with them trying to get full coverage across my map Why in the world didn't they make the water services like electrical in that only one end of a...

The single thing that has made the most difference in the comfort of my shaves, is this: Amazon.com : Fogless Shower Mirror with Squeegee by ToiletTree Products. Guaranteed Not to Fog, Designed Not to Fall. #1 Selling and Ranked by Amazon Customers. (Silver) : Beauty Shaving while still in...

I'll admit, when I first went 1099 I deducted WAY too much and I got audited and fined for back taxes. As soon as that was over with, my "employer" who provides my 1099 got a letter just stating that the IRS *could* garnish my wages through him if I don't adhere to the repayment plan that they...

Oh kansas football, you so funny "A movement has started" at Kansas

Oklahoma is a bit hypocrtical Oklahoma Stands Tall Against Racism, Weak Against Violence | FOX Sports They'll kick blatant racists out of school, but allow players that get arrested for beating women back on the team, no problem.

I don't see how a 1099 makes it any easier to dodge paying taxes. The person paying you still submits your 1099 info to the IRS on their end. The IRS knows exactly what you owe them from that, before they even get anything from you personally. In that regard it works just like a W2, there's...

Newer games do well at 1440p on a 970, I have a EVGA 970 and a Qnix 1440p monitor that overclocks to 96hz. Shadows of Mordor averaged around 70FPS, Battlefield 4 averages around 50FPS, Far Cry 4 was right around 50FPS, etc. Pretty much all of them almost never dropped below 30fps, but...

Makes a little more sense now why Mike was pretty close with Jesse in Breaking Bad, I think he saw Jesse like a 2nd chance with a "son" that he screwed up the first time around. It always seemed a little odd to me in BB that this old crotchety guy would put up with Jesse being a young, dumb...

I had a Galaxy 660ti that was a great card, fwiw. I currently have an EVGA 970 and I highly recommend that as well, it's been great in the 4-5 months that I've owned it

Chiefs should trade Alex Smith and Justin Houston to the Saints for Brees. I want Brees throwing to Jeremy Maclin and Travis Kelce with Jamaal in the backfield catching screen passes. I'd soil my pants every sunday in anticipation. Brees should have 2 or 3 great years left in him, and...

Yeah, my wife and I on her former employers health plan was roughly $16,000 per year, our COBRA amount was going to be about $1400 per month. Was an amazing plan with great dental and vision coverage. When she was between jobs and we had to go through healthcare.gov, that individual plan for...

Spring training has begun, the season will be here in a couple weeks, time for a new thread. ITT we discuss why the Royals will repeat as AL champs

Royals are 6-0 in preseason play

I only like the Chipotle flavored Tabasco. Standard Tabasco doesn't taste good at all. The Chipotle has a nice, smokey flavor.

Yeah, that's the downside of DD&D featuring a place. All the foodies move in an make it crowded. My favorite little BBQ place in KC was a small hole in the wall I used to frequent. Then it got on DD&D and blew up, they had to expand, the place is like 5x as big now and a good half hour wait...

St Louis is getting a Tim Horton's...might actually get to try one soon, I get down there fairly regularly About Tim Hortons St. Louis

86/100 from PC Gamer Cities: Skylines review - PC Gamer For reference, they gave Sim City a 69 2 years ago(even though a lot of it's biggest problems weren't apparent until after launch, like server connection issues)

Beer Belly was featured on Diners Driveins and Dives a while back. Did you get the duck fat fries or the Duck French Dip? They looked incredible

Curly fries are the only acceptable Arbys fries. Same with Hardees

Google Fiber signups start tomorrow for my neighborhood. Im as excited as a 10 year old on Christmas eve (even though it'll be months until install)

Word around here is Justin Smith is coming back to Mizzou to coach. Hes building a 15000 square foot mansion out in the country so he can hunt on his land. Good for him, hope he enjoys retirement from playing, welcome back home. (And I hope he makes our D-line even better, which would be quite...

I do my Taxes just fine with taxslayer/turbotax. I usually have to pony up for the deluxe version but they work great.

Try to sex her up every time she calls you over. She'll stop that real quick.

No way, Kelly apparently wants a team full of 5'9" guys that run a 4.3 40. It's the Oregon way. Oh, also Samoans

Kid usually wakes up around 6:30 - 7. Was looking forward to the time change and him sleeping until 7:30-8 for a while. NOPE. He woke up ready to play at 5am today. WTF? I need a nap.
