    This sounds worrisome. The plugs, regardless of manufacturer, are all on one standard. Typically, if it doesn't fit, you are using the wrong cable or trying to plug into the wrong hole. Have any pics? I would be absolutely sure on this before you attempt to power it up!!

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Torrents usually do not have any previews and I prefer it that way too. I don't want to see a week's advance spoilers / red herrings. I like going into each episode with a blank slate.

    I do not believe in equality

    My only beef with the 9/11 GI Bill was the transition timing. You had to do a required amount of time after 9/11 to qualify for the full benefits. I got out in June 2002 (after a 6 year enlistment), so I only qualified for 50% of all rates. Added to the fact there is a limit on how long after...

    Unless you are doing some insane custom built water cooling, cases of that size are simply not necessary anymore. Hell, this is my first build I have downsized from full ATX down to mATX. Performance is every bit as good as my last full ATX build, but smaller and quieter. MB:Amazon.com...

    Yep. They are interchangeable. 2.0 will only work at 60MBs max throughput, while its about 10x faster with 3.0.

    The whole episode, I was waiting for him to bust out a "Cocksucker!" liner. Guess that won't happen now.

    Yea, there's no way I am putting my case on my desk. Between all of the LEDs they slap on cards and MBs these days, I don't want that distraction. Plus, despite putting water cooling and silent case fans, the thing still makessomenoise. Why put it right next to my head? My case came with filters...

    I did warn you guys from Ragefire that you will start to get to put up with all of the DBG incompetence first hand as Phinny will progress faster from here on out. Just wait until SoL! Ragefire has had 2.0 Cazic/Fear for quite a while now though. What gives here?

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    Pretty funny. Epic monk fists are more dps than a SoD. Also, since the taunt changes went in a couple months back, BoC and SoD are no where near as critical for warrior aggro anymore. Overpriced and overrated items these days!

    Yea, I had a quick 2ms TN gaming monitor then later added a nice IPS 2nd monitor for my Photoshop needs. I had never had an issue with my TN panel until they were side by side. My OCD got the better of me and I couldn't stand looking at the TN's whitewashed p.o.s. look afterwards. Now I have two...

    EQ Never

    It is going to have to be more powerful if they want to render 4k. The GPU in the PS4 is based on an old ass 7000 series AMD from >4 years ago. There's no way in hell it is touching anywhere close to 4k unless it is single digit frame rates. *Edit* Here, found the wiki:PlayStation 4...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    We had our fill of everything ST offered with exception of the monk robes. Face it, warders really do not have that many items and especially not much for casters. One of the many reasons we woke it was to be able to work on the quest items, which then just got nerfed this last patch and can not...

    We had TERRIBLE luck on Monk Shrouds from ST. We literally had every single warder kill before waking Sleeper, but only managed maybe 4 robes. We had tons of those stupid fucking knight shields rot. Every War got a SoD with some banked for guild.

    At least everyone has to put up with the same bs rules. Hell, Truman gutted the White House and left only the exterior shell in the 1950s. White House Reconstruction - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Home Theater/Game Room Thread

    There are ones far cheaper than this. Old room mate bought one for a couple hundred bucks and would literally put it on the patio table and project onto the wall of the house to watch football. Only good at night obviously, but it was surprisingly effective for such a cheap option.

    I am shocked you kill open world uncontested like that. Doesn't Rosengard (Euros) have an advantage of having a raidforce online before you to take targets? Also, regarding gearing max: Vulak will take ages to get all your BiS items. He has such a monster sized loot pool (25 items?) that it...

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    That particular fight is a marathon because anyone in LOS will be stunned 75% of the time. Clerics without mana = dead raid. Just happens to suck because of the way DBG re-tuned resists for TLP servers. It's damn near impossible to resist and its 9 sec duration stun on a 12 sec timer. As I...

    ^This^ Your first 5 years on a traditional 30 year loan are almost entirely interest payments and very little going to principle. People who bounce around houses every few years are only giving money away to the bank.

    Similar shit going on as in 2008, sans the sub-prime bs. Bottom line is, interest rates are in the floor. People only give a shit about what that monthly payment is and if interest rates are low, they can afford more house. This just means the house prices have rocketed. All the while, salaries...

    Vulak, AoW, and Tunare (to a lesser extent) are the only mobs worth a shit after a very short while. Tunare you could theoretically split into 2, but it would be a tediously long PoGrowth clear.

    But I am guessing NToV is one instance? I don't see how you are splitting into 2-3 raids and taking down Vyemm / Nev to spawn Vulak.

    Investment/Rental Properties - Megathread

    Never been in the business, but had a colleague of mine that did. His advice (learned the hard way) was to steer clear of the low end market. For starters, the cheaper the property, typically the shittier the tenants. Why have 10 cheap units with constant tenant and (possibly) maintenance issues...

    I still give them (producers) a pass on the idol / advantage. They just happened to fall into the hands of the most incompetent players this season. (Jason, Scott, and Tai)

    Everquest - Phinigel server

    How often do you get your instances? (re-entry rate) I am just saying that if people are finally stepping up and contesting the open world mobs, it sounds like its back to poopsocking and drama. Meanwhile, there are virtually uncontested raid spawns every few days on Ragefire. The one...

    You would need some specific in-car app integration for that, I would think? The car's default Bluetooth pairing always uses traditional phone and SMS. I know BMW has an apps package, but no clue if they offer specifics like Hangouts. BMW Connectivity: BMW iPhone Apps

    Same. My Win10 Geforce experience has been perfect. No issues whatsoever. Only gripe is from NVidia, who seem to shit out drivers every other week. When using two monitors, it shoves everything on the 2nd monitor to the primary display when upgrading the driver. It doesn't ever revert back...

    Blame Apple and their shitty tech for the widespread use of 1A chargers. Their phones have long since only used 1A chargers, so most aftermarket car chargers used 1A outputs as to not overcharge them. Many other manufacturers like Samsung, etc have used 2A+ for much quicker charging. When you...

    The irony in all of this was the guilds from Ragefire (TL and RG) that left for greener "uncontested" Phinny pastures for the instancing. Yet, here we are back at square one.

    Survivor

    Claiming the super idol and extra votes didn't matter is pretty ignorant. Just because they aren't actually played does not mean they didn't have a big impact on the game. Vote results changed simply because people knew others had idols and special advantages. Granted, Tai completely blew the...

    Also want to reiterate how shitty that reunion episode was. So much of it eaten up by Drew Carrey for no god damn reason at all and "Cousin Itt" for what should have been a <1min bit. All that wasted time could have been reunion gold with Probst calling out Scott and Jason's dumbassery. Probably...

    I need to dig around the net for some post-season interviews. I really want to hear Jason and Scott's take on the season now in retrospect. I am sure the internet thinks their game play was just as terrible as we do and have criticized them. I'd like to know if they can be self critical at this...

    I use Spotify over a BT connection in my car and mine plays just fine. Hell, I can get out of my car and grab a coffee (Spotify will automatically stop / pause on my phone) but once I fire the car back up it will pair and continue playing where it left off.
