After reading @Tenks post, I blew through a load of articles about programming & age. Pretty disappointing to read, honestly. Software Developers Are Terrified Of What Happens When They Hit 30 Silicon Valley's obsession with youth, summed up in one chart Don't think I want to pivot in that...

FoH pals. Need some real advice. I have 15 years with General Dynamics, IT in an extremely niche field of secure voice communications for the government. Contract work with an SCI clearance. This is so niche that there's about two dozen sites in the entire world. On top of that, this work is on...

done! Thanks!

Hasn't it been rumored the S9 is coming a little early? As in February? I have a shattered glass front screen on my Note 8. Slipped out of my hand a week after purchase. Still can't find replacement screens around here. Once it's fixed, it will be the first case I have ever put on a phone...

These still bare fisted monks topping parses? Or do they need Vulak weaps? (I don't play here)

Definitely a solid class come Luclin for encounters requiring offtanks. Grab that gear rot while you can!

Found an older pic of my Land Rover LR4 (Discovery 4). Absolutely love this truck. It's a 2013 model, which is the last year they put the 5.0L V8 in it. (375hp / 375tq). LR seems to get a bad rep about reliability, but mine has been absolutely flawless. I had one issue with a leaky water pump...

Brunch here is all about the booze. It's a weekend thing and you get a bunch of your friends together and have all you can eat and drink (alcohol included) 5 star hotel quality food. Hell, the St. Regis here has a Gordon Ramsay restaurant included in it. Brunch is all about the unlimited booze...

It was quite rare to have in Velious, as it was open contested and guilds ran with far larger numbers. Faction was also a major hassle if you raided NToV.

Been said a million times this game had such potential. Squandered in the worst way possible. Dungeons like Nek Castle and especially Unrest were well done. Great ambiance, clever and unique scripting (Unrest).. just plain fun zones.

I had one on my monk on Ragefire. It's not just the range that is baller. You can pull from miles away at a relatively quick cast. time. I also remember it worked sort of like a "smart debuff", as in it would only strip beneficial spells from the mob and no detrimentals. Smart dispel could be a...

Except they have wireless adaptive fast chargers too. The first gen wireless was truly slow, but they are pretty damn quick these days. Fast Charge Wireless Charging Stand Mobile Accessories - EP-NG930TBUGUS | Samsung US

Article I was reading said a new standard isn't needed. This vulnerability can be fixed via software / firmware patching. Shouldn't be a big deal as long as you update. Microsoft fixed the Wi-Fi WPA2 vulnerability in Windows a week ago Here's every patch for KRACK Wi-Fi vulnerability available...

Toasted PBJs are legit. You are really missing out if you haven't tried it. Lightly toast your bread, then add your PB&J. The peanut butter goes all gooey and delicious when warm. Give it a shot!

Anyone living abroad uses the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion, which is currently around $101k. Anything you make up to that point, you pay 0 taxes. Then there is also the Housing Exclusion, which is another ~$20k (location dependent). Another fun fact: the USA is one of the only 1st world...

Ok, ^^ THAT ^^ is funny! I went hard on my MQ2 6 box team. I managed to get Monk, Shm, Wiz, Enchanter, Mage, and Clr epics done before quitting in Velious. Shackle on Monk as well as the Shm Cudgel. Thinking back, I should have cashed out the monk. He had PoSky quest belt, Vulak headband and...

I've no clue wtf happened. We would kill fake Tunare in the tree and real one would pop and moments later another fake would spawn. Never happened before or since. Just a weird bug. GM nuked the entire zone of mobs once they got word what was happening. We were surprised it went on for so long...

I forgot what we accidentally did on Ragefire, but we <Darkwind> broke Tunare trigger where we were chain spawning her for hours on end until someone ratted us out to a GM. We had dozens of kills before they just nuked the whole zone of mobs. Didn't punish anyone or take any loot, which was...

Vulak loot is such a pain in the dick. It's such a deep loot pool (25 unique items?) that your chance of getting a specific drop is pretty slim. That said, I retired my main (monk) on Ragefire as soon as I got my Abashi. I was still pissed we woke sleeper WAY too early when no one else was even...

I learned that the whole cilantro = soap thing is a genetic variant. I am sorry you guys can't taste the true awesomeness of cilantro, but I can't make fun of you guys. Genetics and all.. it would be like making fun of a downie. You're just handicapped. Sorry retard bros.

Same boat here. I got a loan on a BMW years back because I needed some liquid cash for a few months, paid it off less than 6 months later. APR was only 1.79% on that loan. I am 820+ credit though.

Been covered already, but holy balls! 10% over a 6 year loan!? That is a fuckload of interest. Doing some reverse math: ~$16k principle loan (warranty included) $5.3k in interest over the life of the loan ^^ You are paying another 1/3 the cost of the car in interest payments!! ^^ Get better...

It's just funny because I remember ages back when people were arguing something stupid about the eyes can't tell any difference above 50 fps or something abysmally low. Now here we are advocating 144+ fps and it is almost universally agreed that it makes a noticeable difference. Like @Palum , I...

Mentioned a couple weeks ago that I dropped and shattered the screen on my S7. Went out last night and picked up a Note 8. I've gotta say, it is pretty damn slick! I thought the stylus pen is a complete gimmick but after playing with it, it definitely has its uses. Being able to draw notes on...

I wasn't trying to argue whatsapp for use today over other platforms. The earlier discussion was the speculation as to why it didn't take off in the US initially, while the rest of the world did. That's why I mentioned international contacts. Whatsapp came out in Jan 2010.. WAY before iMessage...

Only 1.3billion MAUs as of July this year. These accounts are based on actual individual phone numbers vs "user names" on other platforms. Still no clue why the US is in the dark on this gem, aside from my theory in my previous post. Connecting One Billion Users Every Day

Seeing how TLP servers have brought back repeat customers each iteration, I think if P99 released their own fresh server with locks it would melt their host server. No idea if they'd have any interest in that idea. The hard work has been done already though.

Fuck, Mrs. Gravy is going for the female McCheese title !! Impressive!

Again, Whatsapp was first of its kind and I think the close proximity international countries like in Europe took it and ran with it out the gate. USA customers (as a whole) are far less likely to have international contacts they would have been SMS messaging at the time. Apple's iMessenger...

Sam would be proud.

I think the big disconnect with whatsapp in the US is the fact cell providers have given unlimited texts for many many years now. Because of this, it just never really caught on. However, the beauty of whatsapp lies in the group chat functions & ability to assign multiple admins. As an expat...

But what is your burst DPS?

I love my half brother to death, but god damn his "disability" claims piss me off to no end. At least the guy spent 3 tours in Afghanistan in the Air Force, but his claim is mostly sleep apnea and some "foot arthritis" whatever the fuck that is. The sleep apnea is from his dad (snored like a...

You're saying DBG has the IP for sale? Or this was the previous SoE to DBG deal made? I hold little hope it transfers into competent hands.. this is the legacy of EQ.

Need a resurgence of "the fallen" gifs. Those have been the best contributions to the thread!

This is just the thing.. I have no brand loyalty. I have owned iPhones in the past. You know, when they were actually innovating? Remember those days? I'd be all over purchasing an iPhone if it offered anything remotely innovative. But they aren't. They are shitting out years old tech and...

On a somber note, I took my phone out to take a pic of my son this weekend in a slight drizzle of rain. Hand was damp and took the phone out of my pocket and it caught on something and flew out of my hand skittering across the concrete screen side down. My perfectly adequate Galaxy S7 Edge...
