    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...

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    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.

    How much income is enough?

    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?

    The Fast Food Thread

    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...

    Desktop Computers

    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.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    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...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    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.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    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...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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...

    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.

    EQemu - Nagafen's Lair (Reborn)

    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...

    What vehicle do you drive?

    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...

    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...

    Hah! That's just the thing though.. Previous to this experience, you'd hear your friends talking about dating a "crazy chick" and I too would just chalk it up to some hormonal outburst or a girl generally being overly emotional. Then you date a gal like I described and you learn, to your horror...

    Dating Russians

    Which is exactly why I pointed out the sending money home is absolutely 100% the norm. No such thing as retirement. It's left to the younger generations to send money home for parents, grandparents, uncles, siblings who can't work abroad. Then you hope someone else can do it for you when you get...

    Just need to step in here and warn about the Filipina experience. It's probably best described as the best and worst relationship in my life. Hot gal, kept fit, amazing sex, super committed, and keeps a good home. However, there are MANY downfalls. I had a friend best sum it up as "Filipina gals...

    This is why I haven't bought into the 4K TV shit yet. There's still no god damned content and the standards keep changing (HDR, 10 bit, etc) prohibiting anyone nailing down formats. I just hope my good old 75" Samsung LED holds up for another X years until 4K becomes mainstream.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I literally built and owned the fastest privately owned MKIV Supra in the UK many moons ago. The only faster cars were owned by tuner shops. I'd provide links, but it would reveal my IRL name here. ... only point this out because you assert yourself as a dyno professional. Again, I said with...

    Recommend Binge Worthy TV Shows Here

    I binge watched Stranger Things all in one sitting when it came out. Really cool original show and kid actors with talent. I also recommend. I will have to take a look at The Expanse.

    Had really shitty cold windy rainy weather this weekend, stuck in the house. I really tried to find something new to binge. Couldn't come up with anything. Fired up Breaking Bad for a re-watch. Can't go wrong there.

    On those cars which are not designed for it, the alignments do go to shit. You end up driving on the inside wheel and have a contact patch a fraction of the normal size. aka, your car can't handle for shit due to lack of traction. There are vehicles designed specifically for air suspensions...

    Bidets, and why you should buy them

    Been contracting and living in the Middle East for a while now. As much flak as we give these desert cavemen for their sheer ignorance in most things, I will say they do appreciate clean undercarriages! You won't find a single public restroom without one. I wouldn't even consider what you guys...

    No Whatsapp love? I have used it for 6+ years now. It's amazing for creating chat groups and you can basically text, phone, video anywhere in the world. I have family across the globe and I created a "Family" group. We can all keep up and post pics / whatever in the group at our leisure. It's...

    Visions of Grandeur (making dad-servers great again!)

    Or, do what I have done since the server opened... run off island 1. You don't zone into FP like usual, you just land on the bottom of the zone in Sky. Run directly under EoV with a pet class and pet pull (need MQ2 to target EoV). Just chain send pet until it's agro... bring pet back want wait...

    I've no clue what the current composition is. When we rolled Classic to Velious, we had a solid 1/3 of the guild from our old classic Live heyday. Someone shot out an email blast from the old boards and old members came out of the woodwork to join. I imagine most that are left now are random TLP...
