    Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't property taxes pretty much go to the county? State taxes are collected from other means (sales tax, etc)

    Facebook is my biggest "shoulda woulda coulda" story in stocks. I was sat at work with a colleague with my trade account open and about $50k cash sitting ready for investment. We were both discussing FB and this was during the time where the IPO crashed. I remember that particular day the stock...

    I was specifically after FB shares. During last week's Wednesday freakout, it dropped to ~$90 per share where I wanted in. By the time funds cleared, I got in around $96 per. Sweat bullets the last couple days with the larger market factors yo-yo'ing everything (China, Oil, Fed announcement...

    Computer Issues

    You need to be careful with those power brick style cords. Read the brick itself and read the output voltage and amps. I am guessing it is converting your wall AC 120/220V 50/60Hz into a sold DC voltage and amps. The thing to worry about is the requirements might be completely different between...

    Easiest way is DS yourself, not the PL person. Cast anything non-dmg agro (malo / shielding as suggested). The PL person literally only needs to do 1 pt of dmg on each mob. Let the DS do the rest of the work.

    Making a Murderer (Netflix) - New info

    Just going back a few pages on the whole cat incident where people want to use that as some kind of evidence of character in relation to the (alleged) murder charges. Just to put in perspective, it was at a drunken party when the guy was 20 years old in 1982. The guy clearly isn't the brightest...

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    I definitely remember Sabine. There was an episode where she was driving a Transit Van around the Nurburgring and was passing every day drivers in Porsches and the like. Definitely showed how much driver skill is involved at that level!

    I really didn't want to upgrade, but finally gave in. My current rig (3770k, Z77 MB, 16G DDR3) started acting up. I would get short 1-2 second video freezes in game a few times a day. Then it progressed to Win10 equivalent of BSOD + reboots. The final straw was it seems like my onboard audio...

    On Wednesday's market freak out, I initiated a 6 figure bank to my ETrade account transfer. I get the notification it will take 5 days to process. By Friday, it had already come up 2.X%. You just can't win.

    Peanuts. VA has a 4% "personal property tax" every year. Each car, boat, atv, etc you own, you will pay 4% of the value per year on them. Fuck that state. (You do get a discount on your primary vehicle, but it's not the point.)

    Project 1999 - Making Norrath Great Again

    Only thing about HS solo that stands out as dangerous is there are a crap ton of mobs that Harm Touch. I have seen upwards of 700hp HT from a single mob, so a bad pull / pet break could get ugly pretty quick. Still great risk vs reward, imo.

    The pain in the dick about Juggs is if you are truly clearing all of them from beginning to the back of Trak lair, the pulls are super long and they leash very easily. I loathe pulling Juggs for my group.

    A step further than that is to disable onboard video in BIOS to make sure the video card is being set as Primary display.

    Torrents

    You are fine using VPN on IPT, but be careful as other sites do not allow it. BTN is an insta-ban for using VPN on their website. (Perfectly fine to torrent / seed with VPN though)

    Yea, lowest quality 1080p BR copies you see on torrents are around 8GB. Add in DTS-MA quality audio and it goes up quite a bit. All that said, when I got my NAS setup for my home theater I had originally planned on ripping all of my old DVD collection. I found it took far longer to read /...

    If you are using HDMI audio to your receiver. The issue is with the HDMI audio driver that comes with your video card. Ignore your sound card / sound card drivers. Also, when you select Playback Devices under your Sound options, make sure the HDMI audio device is selected. I'd start by...

    The thing I miss most about living in London was my 45 minute train journey each day. I read more books then vs any other time in my life! Now I sit in traffic looking at brake lights and traffic signals for 30mins. Sucks!

    My mind has already erased the dwarven silliness and godmode-Legolas. Everything with Smaug was perfect. Riddles in the Dark = perfect. None of the rest happened. (Though Galadriel fucking up the Necromancer was pretty damn cool. She was pretty much exactly how I remembered her in the RTS...

    I have actually never seen a processor (or any hardware for that matter) as backlogged and unavailable as Skylake. They have to be absolutely trickling out at a glacial pace.

    I'm not so sure housing will continue to climb at the same pace. Fed is projected to keep raising interest rates and soon everything else (mortgages, auto, etc) will follow. People are retarded and do not look at how much they are paying for the house, they only care about monthly payments. So...

    I don't even know why a guild would need to hoard hundreds of Krono in Kunark era. "Guild costs" are relatively nill with the exception of some potion reimbursement / hate & sky stones, etc. Why just let it pile up?
