    Groundhog day is a pretty dumb movie

    Honestly? Go to Drudge, and then just believe the opposite of what people post in the comment sections of the articles aggregated there. It's surprisingly effective. Drudge is a very good aggregator of news.

    I looked at that. I'm having a very similar issue but I don't have a Broadwell CPU. I don't care anymore, the web client is better for me for work anyway. It was just bugging me because I built this machine for stability.

    So I just beat up my main SSD with CrystalDiskInfo and that's the last remaining piece of hardware I had to stress test. It's gotta be a software issue.

    Computer Issues

    Randomly. My computer has bluescreened 3 times in 3.5 years, and twice were in Outlook 2016 in the past 2 months. I can't figure out how a machine that can run P95 for 2 days straight, run most games at 1440p@120hz, can crash in fucking Outlook. I turned automatic restarts off so I cam at...

    So my computer is bluescreening but only in Outlook 2016: 365 Degrees of Cloudy Edition. Should I: a) Delete my gigantic .ost file and try again. b) Reinstall office. c) Reformat my computer. d) Buy a new computer. e) Burn my house down.

    I am now officially accepting Christmas presents

    Yeah I've already been working 70+ hours every week since October. I took a vacation day this week and I still topped 70 hours worked. That's right, they made me take a vacation day for 8 hours off on a week I worked 70 hours anyway.

    So they're not hiring anybody to replace the three people that left. Their plan is to deploy automation to assist technicians in alarm handling, customer notification and ticket processing, and that these solutions are in the pipeline. In the mean time, we're expected to work 60-70+ hour weeks...

    How much income is enough?

    Which one is better? Working 20-24 hours a week for 24k a year, at a job you enjoy. or Working 60 hours a week for 70k a year, at a job you hate.

    Your minimum frame time will be reduced fairly substantially with that jump. This can be shown in benchmarks that measure not just the average FPS but the minimum fps.

    Why are we even talking about 6000 series processors now? If you're buying new, 7th gen stuff literally costs 5-10 dollars more. If you're interested in a new, mainstream gaming desktop, it's a 7600k or a 7700k and nothing better is coming out for 18 months on the mainstream side. If you want...

    I don't think I'd be very happy with a 2500k at this point. 3570k, sure.

    Its funny you mention that, because someone on another team got fired last year. Less than 10 days later he robbed a bank, then turned himself in 3 days later, presumably because he couldn't handle being on the outside.

    I am now officially accepting Christmas presents

    I've thought of this. But as shitty as this place is, I can't really consider this abuse, since they are actually paying me for 100% of my hours worked, which is a whole lot more than my parents ever did for all the abuse they put me through. They abused me AND leeched off me since I was old...

    I'd agree with you and I'd definitely fire the fuck out of all of us. But my manager went off on this rant tonight in the middle of the shift, and I quote almost verbatim: "You need to be a pillar of 100% pure salt to work on this shift. I considered adding a Saltiness column to all of your...

    Well, 3 managers begged me not to quit today, so I don't think this is true. My boss: "Please don't quit, we're trying to build a good team here. We can't get people to stay here on second and third shift, we're trying to get a 10% pay raise/shift differential for the team, but it's stuck in...

    I am now officially accepting Christmas presents

    They literally can't fire me because I'm working 7 days a week, 8-12 hours a day and no one from other, similar tier teams can/will cover my shifts. I only found out because the other person who's been training the new guy makes 22.50 and flipped the fuck out. Then when the new guy found out...
