    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Yea, the shard drop rate was bumped up significantly on the server. Some are crazy quick, but others you can still struggle. Those Sun Revenants skeletons in The Grey that only spawn every 20min and only has maybe 8 mobs around the lake, for instance. Those and the shards from Sanctus Seru were...

    What to do after an accident? Beyond car repair...

    My advice was to avoid talking to their insurance was based on my experience. I had a drunk driver pull in front of me once. The impact was so big, the girl in my passenger seat broke her collarbone. I had severe whiplash, etc. Guy was arrested on the spot at the scene for being way over the...

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    Was gonna say, any Tank / Shm combo is unstoppable on this server. I cleared all that when it was 2 box limit with my SK / Shm. No reason your Pal, Shm, Mag shouldn't walk the place. Especially at level 65.

    Torrents

    Torrenting off that SSD is pointless, as your max internet speed is a tiny fraction of what the Read / Write speed is on your SSD. Plus, you are going to up the number of read / write cycles unnecessarily on your SSD. I have a separate 4TB storage disk in my PC that is essentially a torrent...

    As I pointed out, that 960 Pro (top end NVME) is 7x the speed of a SATA SSD. That is a PC bottleneck that are you going to get 7x performance difference for a relatively small investment difference. I just don't see the point in scrooge mcducking a hundred bucks to use an ancient SATA3 interface...

    Computer Issues

    Oh, I hear you. I have nearly 10TB worth of media on my NAS. I didn't remove old stuff from folders, rather I just stopped using folders going forward. When I made the decision, I just started adding the media file by itself. Sort the folder by Newest from top to bottom. All your older folder...

    Computer Issues

    I used to deal with this too until I just started dropping my rips without folders. I don't need anything but the correct film title and Kodi sorts everything else out. I used to have the same drag and drop complaint until finally I just realized I don't need to dick around with folders in the...

    The Samsung 960s are hitting up to 3500 reads. Again, IOPS are really what matter and there is a staggering difference between the two techs. Noodle is right though, there are quite a few scenarios where it is noticeably different. It really is a relatively small bump in price. Something that...

    Dude, NVME is literally 4-5x the speed of old SATA. More importantly, the IOPS are through the roof. If you are dropping the cash on a 7700k and 1080Ti, the price difference in an NVME enabled motherboard and SSD are relatively nothing. That old SATA SSD shit is ancient these days.

    My go to whiskey for making Old Fashioneds is Woodford Reserve. Drinking neat is 18yr Glenlivet. Nicest I have ever purchased was Chivas 38yr (blended) Royal Salute. I'd love to get hold of a nice Macallan one day.

    Tried these today: 3 / 10 - Instead of being a subtle lime flavor, its super in your face and comes off really salty. Reasonable heat, but it is not complex like Tapatío. Absolutely smothered in flavor dust to the point you don't even taste tortilla chips. It's just really crunchy texture...

    This kiosk argument is fucking stupid. To get inside the store itself, you are likely grabbing the same door pull outside as every single other person that day. I am willing to bet that kiosk touchscreen is cleaned about 100x more often than the front door handle. Bunch of germophobes up in here.

    Let's be real here. Imagine there was zero way to exploit reading packets to know when mobs spawn or not. If DBG somehow permanently broke SEQ. If this were the case, every neckbeard would have a ranger tracker box to remain competitive. A weaker ability to track mobs spawns / location is...

    Everquest II

    The biggest mess raiding EQ2 to me was the 24 person raid cap. They had 24 classes on release and some raids straight up needed 1 specific class in every raid group. It meant right out the gate that raids required fewer people than they even designed classes for. Not to mention, you had people...

    I almost took a job in Hawaii a couple years back, but the cost of living made me decide against it. I had also read the electricity rates were staggering and most people refuse to use the AC and just open windows. You'd think Hawaii would harness geothermal, wind, solar, or any other option...

    Credit Score Question

    You basically do not want to have high credit utilization. If you are using near 100% of your credit line, it is perceived as being over-extended. This will reflect badly in your score. However, this hit doesn't stick. If your next month utilization is down it corrects immediately. But overall...

    Well, you beat me. I can't seem to top 820. Like you though, it is quite meaningless. I haven't had a loan in ~18 years and don't plan on needing one for the foreseeable future. Mine is built almost entirely on one Visa and one Master Card. Visa is a Signature Rewards Black card with a $50k...

    Your first gen PS4 can't output greater than 1080p (hardware issue). Plex or Netflix apps (software) make no difference if your hardware (your PS4) can't output 4k. If you have a smart TV, you can likely put those apps on it and run it directly from your TV in 4k. Though, I am not familiar with...

    Credit Score Question

    You don't need to max the card to get a good rating. They are looking for timely payments. It can actually hurt your score if you have maxed your credit out. As said, buy gas and other trivial things and pay it off in-full before the end of each month. Let time do its thing and you will see the...

    I just went on about how I don't need the S8, but honestly if I were in the US I would take the trade-up deal. $375 is a killer deal. T&C says if they don't receive the trade-in within 15 days, they charge you full price on the phone. So, as I am overseas, it just isn't going to work for me.
