    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    Resources as in how? I remember dumbfucks complaining when Vista came out regarding memory usage, yet completely failing to comprehend pre-fetch at the time. This was still pre-SSD and traditional HD were slow as balls. Microsoft put in pre-fetch where your most commonly used programs would be...

    Yea, I have been using wireless charging almost exclusively (except in the car) for the last few generations. It's one of those things that once you use it, you will never go back to wires. Just another of many features that Apple is lacking that competitors have had for years.

    I had a built transmission by Boostlogic that was tested on a 9 second car. Install a high stall torque converter and the lag is nowhere near as bad. Boost Logic Supra TT Auto Upgrade Transmission Toyota Supra 93-02

    Pretty sure that is going to depend on software. Some will monitor the temps and step up the fan incrementally at set speeds. You likely aren't at a linear increase and it's just bouncing between the two speeds as it is fluctuating in temp. Go into your MB settings and look for fan control. On...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Not familiar with that engine. The point was the 2JZ is legendary for its ability to make insane HP / Tq on stock internals and remaining absolutely bulletproof. You can throw big HP at any engine with forced induction, but reliability is an entirely different thing. When you start messing with...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I've got a Land Rover Discovery 4 and carry 0 fluids. I have an ARB compressor, 2x D-shackles, snatch strap, quick deflator, shovel, and jumper cables. Four years of off-roading and dune bashing and never had a problem with it yet, aside from a tiny coolant leak that had a TSB and was fixed...

    I agree with everything in your post except this. Cerie knows exactly what she is doing. She knew where the vote was going. During the vote when she put down Sierra's name, she said to the camera "this is to spice things up a bit". She knows Sierra is her biggest strategic opponent at this time...

    Source? Cause honestly, I have seen hundreds of articles of the "return of the Supra" and random camo'd cars for nearly 2 decades now. None of which have come to any fruition. *Edit* Just did my own search. Fuck that. The Supra was about 100x the car any BMW Z ever was. Toyota need to step...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I just want the Supra resurrected. Best car, by miles, that I ever owned. I don't simply mean a performance car in its name, but what the Supra was truly about. A hyper over-engineered car with an engine / drivetrain that could take double the stock HP with only bolt on mods (turbo, IC, etc)...

    Stock fans are fine, albeit noisy at full speed. I swapped mine out for fans I could run 100% fulltime for my overclock that ran a lot quieter. If you are not OC'ing, you can simply use the MB software that will run the fans at slower speeds when the CPU is running cool and they shouldn't be an...

    Very good point here, but what company manages your employer's 401k plan? Mine is through Fidelity and there are very good low cost Indexed options. Do not get suckered into the "actively managed" funds bullshit. The fees on that are insane and do not seem to do any better than the indexes. I...

    Like Attog said, last season someone said Zeke was trans and the first thing I noticed was the scars in a couple scenes where he wore no shirt. I am surprised no one on his previous season asked about them? Perhaps he has a story made up about them? It's hard to believe you go that deep in the...

    Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

    I think it's too soon to judge the depth of Rey's character. She doesn't know who she is, we don't know who she is or what role she will have in Ep 8+9. She's in a similar situation to Luke in Ep4, but whereas Luke had Uncle Owen & co feeding him bs about his past, Rey doesn't know a god damn...

    The pessimist in me thinks 6% CAGR overall is a safer calc. The crazy gains of the 80s / 90s will be pretty tough to beat in an economy that is quickly becoming a global market. Also @Big_w_powah The 18k is your contribution only. Employer matching doesn't count towards that cap, but does have...

    I'd love a hot hatch, but fuck they need to go on a serious diet. That Civic R looks god awful, but I can see the demographic they are going for. Each their own and all. If VW could shed 200kg off a Golf R, that would be ideal for me. Totally agree with @Hekotat about price points. Some of...

    The fuck are some of you people talking about it being a stacked tribe with LBGTHZYNAQ whatevers for some "stunt"? They randomly drew buffs for the current tribes.

    5km thick ice crust sounds like it would be technologically impenetrable for the foreseeable future. Someone get Bruce Willis on the phone. The best we could probably do is land a rover as near to one of the plumes as possible and pray for some microbial ETs to land on some sensors.

    It really isn't difficult in full manual. It's a relationship of shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Each one will affect one another. You typically want to keep your ISO as low as possible (noise as woot said). From there, its getting enough light by balancing your speed / aperture. Just focus on...

    I've actually got the Brikka version. It's a steep leap in price, but makes a better crema. I still love my old fashioned Moka though. My Italian friends first told me about them and basically said you won't find a house in Italy without one. For $15-$25 (depending on size), you still can't beat it.

    I care a hell of a lot less about storage space than I did years back.
