Yea, I have claimed Foreign Income Exclusion for the last ~15 years. While the ~$120k write off (Income + Housing Exclusions) is nice, the USA is one of the only countries to tax its citizens abroad. Every other non-US friend of mine enjoys everything they earn 100% tax free while abroad. Kind...

Wasn't long ago this thread was talking about the mini crash and coins were ~$350 each. Dayum.. nice recovery.

I'm legit glad you posted it. I had no idea WTF this was at all and I was trading 2-3 stocks all year in the 6 digit figures buying the lows and selling the highs. I think I should be fine with the 2 losses I had, as the 1st one I never rebought it and the 2nd one was a different stock right...

Meal of shame today here too. Military base here has a few fast food choices. I was early for work, so dropped in to Taco Bell and ate my normal 3x chicken soft taco supremes add pico. Still felt hungry as fuck, so dropped by Arby's on the way out for 2x beef and cheddars and a large curly fries...

This was always an annoyance for me. Why was it melee had to bind in cities, while casters could bind relatively wherever the fuck they wanted? In Kunark, I especially remember being required to bind in FV and wiping as far away as Seb. That was a LONG ass trek back. Meanwhile, every caster /...

For the most part, yes. There's maybe a handful of encounters where it is useful. VT Blob 1 & Blob 2, Fennin Ro, maybe a couple others purely for Rampage reasons. You will need multiple tanks for Rathe Encounter, but youre better off getting 2 - 3 groups together for that encounter for its...

Your 6 man team seems solid. Most of the time, the second tank is redundant... however.. You will need it in PoTime for the Zek dude that FD's with a 30sec stun. Once fully Time geared, your monk might handle the 2nd tank duty, but it is still iffy with no taunt or way to draw aggro off of your...

Your EQ Emu account only provides a common login destination (server select). All of your chars are stored by the host server creator. Nothing is held by EQ Emu aside from your login details.

It's not far off. They said many years back that they don't have the original code.

It's the American way, you commie bastard!

Yea, even the phone pic it seems the two couches are entirely different colors. I don't buy into the ambient light argument. You can easily test that by turning the lights off and viewing the monitors in the dark.

I worked in a Publix Deli in FL back in high school. To this day, they were the best damn sandwiches I have ever had. Plus, working there we rang up normal cuts of meat but loaded it with all the premium stuff like Black Forest Ham, etc. Then we had the massive cheese selection too.. Amazing...

*edit* Are you possibly viewing them at different angles? They are TN panels after all and will color shift from different angles.

97 .. god damn that's a good run !

Absolutely! I contract in the Middle East. My off-roading is 80% dunes, 20% rock/gravel. Just got back from a trip this weekend where we got pretty epically rained out. Like you, I am usually the one to pull people out. The 2 times I have ever been stuck in my ~4 years of ownership is while...

DEFINITION OF PRACTICAL EFFECTS : A practical effect is a special effect produced physically, without computer-generated imagery or other post production techniques. Most agree, the original work was groundbreaking and hold up well considering its age. NO ONE likes the SE version CGI shit show...

Someone said it's like having a bunch of planets visible the size of Earth's moon. If you had multiple planets reflecting all that sunlight, your view of the stars would be pretty damn poor. Imagine multiple moons in the night sky and how much light it would produce. You'd struggle to have truly...

One of the glaring plot holes of the movies was Fishburne bullshit "piloted and completed the trip multiple times". I figure a pilot could go to school, train half his life to be commander of one of the most advanced creations man has ever built. You get put in deep freeze, get passengers to...

Saw it in the theater and wasn't overly impressed. Definitely one of the weaker Marvel films for me. Still leagues ahead of BvS DC crap. Watched this again off torrents this weekend and it was even worse than I remembered it. Will never watch again.

Quad channel memory has already been out for YEARS now and Keg is right. It has fuck all impact on real world use. Ram bandwidth is rarely ever the bottleneck in modern systems.

Wasn't it you bitching about your S7 battery woes in this thread earlier while everyone else said theirs was fine.. only for you to later find out some rogue app was draining your battery? I only ask because I bought my S7 the first week they were available and my battery life is damn near as...

Is it possible your output from the PS4 is changing resolutions on the fly? Some TVs / receivers would black out briefly while changing display resolutions.

My take is people prioritize what is important to them. I DO love to travel. I've lived in London, driven across Europe in a convertible, skied the Alps, 4x4 dune bashed the deserts of Dubai, hiked Nepal / Bhutan, got divemaster in Seychelles, trekked my ass all over New Zealand and visited...

Yea, because the Everest Base Camp experience is totes the same as hickville Appalachia.

Got the same tires on my LR4. New Raptor comes with the same in 35". Pretty crazy. That last pic looks like you got stuck in the sand. Did you air down?

This.

Soda is by far their highest profit item. Back in the 90s, when I worked for the Bell, my district manager had broken it down that the 99c large soda had an actual cost of 11c and 7c of it was for the cup, lid, and straw. I can't imagine those margins have changed much over the years. Sugary...

Successful boot does not mean stable. Genuine question: are you new to overclocking? You need to run some stress tests to make sure you are fully stable or you could find yourself crashing / rebooting due to instability under load.

Are you trying to bring NL up on the latest PEQ? Because NL was built with a much older code. You can ask @MazeEq and @Secrets what kind of mess that caused when they tried to upgrade NL to the latest PEQ. It was so broken, they basically had to roll the whole server back a few days and scrap...

From my experience on Emus, even with much older code, you can only use those hacks with old clients (Titanium and earlier) using very old MQ builds. I highly doubt any of this is possible on any Live server without new exploits being found.

It's just such a shame that every time this server breaks peak record, there is some big drama. NL was starting to hit consistent 60+ players online (mindful of 3 box limit). Progression mobs were starting to get competitive again and constantly hearing people waiting for spawns. Hopefully this...

I drive a relatively tame Land Rover Discovery 4 these days. I miss tinkering. When I move back to the US and have a garage, I look forward to building again. I'd love to do another Supra from ground-up, but god damn have they skyrocketed in price. Un-modded ones are as rare as rocking horse...

I fully admit im jelly.

Only @SirJames could answer that. I know he was talking with @Control last week about moving the hosting over to him. Not sure if that is what is currently going on or what.

Should be solid. You get a War merc (bot actually) to start with. You can later quest for other class bots. You can basically play as 1 toon with bots that you need to fully gear out to maximize their effectiveness. From what I am told, you can do 98% of the content with you and your bots. The...

You missed my previous posts or you would have caught that as sarcasm. @latheboy MKIV Supras were not simple throw a flash reprogram at the ECU cars. You needed a whole new tuned ECU (like HKS) or preconfigured piggyback module that didn't come cheap. Aside from that, you were going to spend...

Not even close to the same.

I hope you enjoyed it for the week before it the engine exploded driving down your residential street.

No more AFK Droga for you! I fired up a toon on Raid Addicts server. Totally custom and something different from the Classic - PoP grind that I am getting bored of.

My best asleep at the wheel in EQ was camping fucking AC in OOT at that static spawn. I was a lowly warrior and my druid pal was helping me out. 17 fucking hours I lasted and then apparently nodded off. Woke up at bind. Druid pal dead too. AC spawned and he had engaged thinking I was awake...
