    Modular cables right? I think you just plugged in the wrong end.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    CLEGANEBOWL 2016 postponed indefinitely due to religious faggotry. The Hound scenes were great. Everything else was basically poop.

    Actually, after reading some technical drawings, that's exactly what you did. DO NOT POWER THAT THING ON. An 8-pin GPU connector has the right-most 2 connectors joined to prevent insertion into the CPU power motherboard socket.

    Uh, yeah, are you sure you didn't try to plug an 8-pin video card cable into the CPU power pin?

    While I think the deck is fine on its own merits, banning Top would make me be able to watch legacy without falling asleep.

    Battlefield 1 - set in World War 1

    Is that running on a potato? Some of those building/interior graphics look like trash. Gameplay at least looks like its going back to series roots.

    SP could be good. I hope the plot makes more sense this time.

    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    It wasn't actually this set of shelves that I built for this purpose. But I actually did build shelves in the basement a while ago specifically took keep Beanie Babies and Boyd's Bears high enough off the floor in case of future flooding.

    I went to Orlando for some competition for school when I was 17. Does that count?

    That's really nice. I've been looking at the Silent Base 800 lately. I still plan on building a sick PC when Skylake-E comes out.

    The big problem is that my room is only 8x11, and I have to fit a bed and a home office setup in there.

    I do not believe in equality

    I was actually looking at the Air Force, they bumped it to 39. It's been on the table for a while, to pay for the last 2 years of my psych PhD, or the easy route, I'm sure they'd take me as a telecoms technician.

    I do not believe in equality

    Well, that's the counter argument to this thread, isn't it? If people are given a fair shot at life, they will tend to do better than if they aren't. The only way to a true meritocracy is to give everyone a fair shot. Only once you've given someone a fair shot and they still choose to fail...

    I do not believe in equality

    Looking back, I definitely wish I had gone in the military, for a whole lot of different reasons. I was way too sickly at 18 to sign up, but by 23 I was fit as fuck. Unfortunately, at 23 we that was 2004 and not a particularly great time to be signing up to serve. I still wish I had. I...

    I like two-tier desks, if I was going to build one. It's the only reason I've kept this one for so long. I do realize you can just buy monitor stands.

    I want a corner desk. That would be sweet.

    I figured out God was made up at age 4. By 8 or 9 I had seen past most of the rest of society's bullshit. Okay, that second part is an exaggeration. But I never felt comfortable in skirts or dresses. It took me until age 10-11 to start to realize why, and until I showered with another girl...

    It's back up on the desk, just in the opposite corner. The third monitor dream will have to wait.

    I do not believe in equality

    Move and magically hope there's jobs somewhere else? At least I've got the best kind of job security; nobody wants this job, and half the people they hire can't do it, and most of ones that can won't do it for longer than 6 months.

    Dude, it's not like I don't apply for jobs. I apply for tons of jobs. My resume has been reviewed plenty of times by professionals. Almost never hear anything back. Best case scenario is that 5 months later I get letters saying "you were not selected as one of the finalists." This place...

    Lots of people in the tech industry have said H1B visas are not going to the best and brightest. They're going to people strictly because they will work for less than qualified American citizens.

    Schools are actually more segregated now than they were in the 80s. We slipped backwards while nobody was paying attention.

    Well, first you'd have to offer a product that's worthy of being valued. Part of it is a chicken/egg problem in that they don't value the education because they know they're not getting an education of value.
