    Screenshots like that make me happy I quit after all the login queue bs. Cancelled the accounts yesterday.

    Speed Reading - It's Mostly Bullshit (Or Is It?)

    This. The problem is subvocalization. Whether you realize it or not, we all "say" the words aloud in our head, as if we were reading a bedtime story to our own brain. This is what makes what we view as "normal" reading speed so gosh darn slow: Your eyes can totally buzz across those lines 300...

    Yet, she is clearly aware that she faces extermination if she fails "the test". Self preservation.

    I am guessing we might actually hear some legitimate Dev response tomorrow. 3 day holiday weekend is finally over and someone might actually start addressing this clusterfuck of a server.

    Computer Issues

    There's going to be a part number somewhere on that fan. Google search that fan part number itself. You are right, it should be a very easy swap to do yourself.

    I've plastered this around the board a few times now, but you need to read this: The AI Revolution: Road to Superintelligence - Wait But Why Nathan touched on it when Caleb confronted him about his master plan. Ava's only motivation in her interactions with Caleb was to get out. She does not...

    Glad to hear! ASU does have a great program and it's also the school Starbucks is giving free tuition to its employees. (even part timers!) I might have gone the Starbucks route if that was a thing instead of military. I hope more businesses adopt this model.

    E7 by the age of 25 is pretty fucking unheard of. I had fast tracked automatic E4 upon my 2 year school completion and then made E5 at 21 (Navy - Electronics Tech). Advancement rates also depended heavily on the career field. I know Corpsmen in the Navy that were still E4/ E5 in their late 20s /...

    Working as intended. If you give up in frustration, that means there is more room for others to log in! Who needs that 2nd server afterall?

    I tried giving it a watch a few months ago. I made it a couple episodes into Season 2 and just gave up. *shrug*

    Desktop Computers

    980 Ti should be released in the next month, let alone all the hype built up for Pascal. Again, I do not care about the system price. I just want to have a nice desktop for my gaming and photography needs. Best of both worlds and no compromise.

    Unless you are planning on career military, I would take those "degrees" with a grain of salt. On the outside world, those degrees from "University of Maryland University College" (lols) are one of the pretty shady for profit schools. I use this one as an example because pretty much every AF...

    Ye Olde Sodie Pops Thread

    I grew up in Florida, but all of my family is from Michigan. On summer vacations, there would be cases of Rock N Rye stashed in the back of the car for the return home! Good stuff! I don't drink much soda these days, but nothing beats an ice cold A&W.

    Take the job or not?

    First off, an American lawyer does fuck all for you. Work contracts are laid out in pretty simple to understand terms. If they breach those terms, you have zero recourse with a US lawyer or courts. You are at the whim of the UAE laws and system. That said, I think the risk of that is fairly low...

    I am willing to bet many people will (already have) quit over this shitty release clusterfuck and overpopulation / login issues. DBG just doesn't get it. They are pissing away free money.

    Take the job or not?

    While I would certainly prefer to work in Dubai over Qatar, there has been a lot of press about a big teacher hiring spree in Qatar for next semester. Might be something you would be interested in. There is Education City here in Doha that has some top universities like: Northwestern University...

    Take the job or not?

    I have lived in Qatar for the last 9 years, been to Dubai a dozen times and have friends and colleagues that work there. First off, that salary seems on the low side despite the fact you have housing included. Most people I know are fairly close to 6 figures. When I came over, I literally...

    It's a valid arument though. The raid mobs are being taken down by mostly mage teams (see my SS above). I agree raids are not difficult, but they are pretty damn EZ mode with the current live pet code. That is nothing at all like classic.

    No big surprise, but here is the raid for Naggy. Mage army!!

    Yea, I linked that elsewhere on the forum but it is absolutely relevant. Great movie!! I'd love to have a (less murder prone) sexbot!

    Saw some TL boxers clearing automating. Any mob that paths near them, all casters face the mob and cast at the same time. Mob dies, all sit at the same time. There will be more suspensions / bans coming for that kind of obvious automated activity.

    The AFK boots are like using chewing gum to plug holes in a dam. They are completely missing the bigger picture. They should quite simply be able to look at all the new subs and get solid numbers for how many people they can expect to be trying to log in. We are going to be sitting at cap all...

    The AFK boots aren't going to help a damn thing. There are thousands of accounts trying to be logged in right now. I am pretty damn convinced DBG Devs took a half day for the holiday weekend. Someone posted over at the main forums that one of the devs posted a tweet from the bar a couple hours...

    Movie was all you guys hyped it up to be!! Loved the practical effects on all of the vehicles. It's refreshing not to have an entire CGI shitfest! This will be added to my BluRay collection for sure.

    NeverGrind: EQ inspired, browser-based single player RPG

    It's exactly the same as normal play through, the only difference is permadeath. As you get to higher levels (nightmare / hell) it gets significantly more difficult with more ambushes and champion mobs. Same as "normal" mode.

    If I play, it's to enjoy the OP atmosphere of the newer pet code. Hell, I might 4 box and add another mage. Still very undecided.
