    Oh well! No plans to watch this shit now.

    Lindsey Gort, man. AKA Candy.

    Doctor Who

    For those interested, here's a YouTube video with all the theme song variations. The new one is definitely like the 63-67 version.

    Doctor Who

    I skipped the Capaldi run but decided to tune in for this premiere. Not bad, honestly. Definitely a different feel -- wasn't goofy like a lot of the Moffat shit. I think the actress did a great job channeling The Doctor. Also, didn't detect any overt SJW or girl-power nonsense. Interesting...

    American Horror Story: Apocalypse

    Honestly, this was probably one of the best episodes of the series. Really enjoyed it and kept my attention. By the way, I don't recall how Madison and Queenie died back in Coven. Does anyone else recall? Also, backing up a couple episodes, when Madison said to Billie Lourd's character, "I...

    Halloween 2018

    Is anyone aware of any companies that will craft costumes by request? What I'm looking for is a high-quality replica of a particular super hero costume. Sure, there exists the usual crap you find at the various costume stores but I want something that is actually fitted for me and is...

    Computer Issues

    That's funny. I used to operate a computer repair/hobby store and a customer brought in a system he built with exactly the same 'problem'. Motherboard was fine once properly seated with stand-offs.

    Desktop Computers

    Yeah I'm not wanting to do anything crazy. I lucked out finding a 4K monitor at a thrift shop for 16 bucks. I just assumed there existed a sub $300 video card that could run WoW at 4K. Guess not!

    Desktop Computers

    Well that sucks. Scaling the game down to a lower resolution makes nameplates look rather crappy.

    Desktop Computers

    What's the recommendation for a video card that can run WoW @ 4K at reasonably high settings? I just upgraded to an i7-8700k. My existing card is a GTX 950 which runs WoW beautifully at 1080p, but at 4K it's kind of struggling at mid-range settings. I do NOT care about other games. WoW is...

    The Gifted

    She's hot for sure but my preference is for those triplets.

    Manifest

    Her face annoys me for some reason. I thought the pilot was decent but my bet is it'll be cancelled. It'll probably get a full season order, but won't make it to a 2nd.

    Linux OS stuff Thread

    So whatever happened with SteamOS and those machines?

    The First

    I'm guessing HGH. The dude's body doesn't match his face. I found the first episode horribly boring. Doubt I'll continue with it.

    I wanted to get one of those spiffy NVMe SSDs. Any opinions on the Samsung 970 EVO 500GB vs WD Black 500GB? Or some other brand/model? The price point on these are just about right.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    We explored one testing method of comparing screenshots, which might work well for canvas controls? I don't have any framework names to suggest but apparently a few exist.

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    What is your application doing with these canvas objects? We're developing with Angular and our QA team is doing everything with Selenium. I know they're struggling, though, and I'm not sure how much progress they've made. Our dev team has been pretty much abandoned doing any unit testing in...

    Succession

    Just finished the season. Overall I greatly enjoyed it, but the finale was fucking stupid.

    The Dragon Prince

    Uhm, does this have some kind of weird-ass narration going on? It's like someone is reading the script.

    Pets

    I love animals, especially cats, but I have no desire to own any at this point. Knowing that they will eventually get sick, old, and die makes me nope out of that. I have some backyard squirrels I feed and I get enjoyment out of that. There's no real attachment since they all look alike so if...

    Disenchantment

    The King's son made me instantly think of Simpson's Ralph Wiggum. Sounds like the same voice actor. Don't care enough to look it up. I finished the series last night. Overall I enjoyed it, wasn't a huge commitment with 30 minute episodes. I won't be bummed if it doesn't return but will...

    Upgrade (2018)

    I went ahead and bought this on Bluray. I had downloaded and watched a rip but since I enjoyed this so much I honestly felt guilty not supporting this great film.
  24. ShakyJake

    Preacher

    Yeah, SJW shit definitely slipped in with the MAGA-hat fellow standing with the Nazis. Other than that I enjoyed the finale.

    The Walking Dead

    He looks like Eugene with a beard.

    Kevin Smith Suffers Massive Heart Attack (Feb '18).

    Yeah, the challenge is keeping it off. He'll probably bounce back to some happy medium unless he goes full fatty again. It's really tough to keep starving yourself.

    Upgrade (2018)

    Probably, but would've been pointless to bother with it from a story standpoint. Anyway, I thought this was a pretty fun movie. I felt it was a combination of Six Million Dollar Man and Knight Rider. Loved the ending. If there is a sequel I'd rather just have it take place within this...

    Preacher

    Yeah, seriously. I'm like holy shit I need to read the comics then because I'm enjoying the hell out of the TV series.

    Disenchantment

    I'm about half way through and it's really growing on me. I mean, it's not super hilarious or anything but I've gotten a few chuckles here and there. And I like the characters -- especially the talking cat.

    Roman Empire

    UNFORTUNATELY, we did not get to see Lucilla's amazing jugs.

    Holy shit this last episode was probably the best of the series. Why is no one watching this!?

    Desktop Computers

    Yeah, I never had any luck getting this 2500k high enough to make a significant difference. Anyway, so you're saying wait a month or so. I can survive until then -- it's not that bad.

    Desktop Computers

    So I lucked the hell out and found a 27" Dell Ultra 4K P2715 monitor sitting in a thrift shop. Picked it up for $16. NOW, I need a new video card to push these pixels around. My GTX 950 is choking up in World of Warcraft even at moderate settings. Any recommendations for a video card --...

    Car ?'s

    No, it's definitely rough. I guess something got on the paint that damaged the clear coat. I just have no idea what since the car is not around anything like that.
  37. ShakyJake

    Car ?'s

    About every 6 months I'll wax it. Doing a search for clear coat failure I see a few images of a similar pattern as mine:
  38. ShakyJake

    Car ?'s

    I waxed it probably 6 months ago. I hand wash the car pretty regularly -- usually once a week.
  39. ShakyJake

    Car ?'s

    This car was purchased new 10/16 and no, it's never been repainted (as far as I know...). This is the rear bumper so highly unlikely a rock or debris hit in these spots. And, again, there are no physical scuffs or indentations from an impact. It's like the paint or clearcoat has puckered up...
  40. ShakyJake

    Car ?'s

    It doesn't look like impact damage. It's completely smooth except for the little honeycomb pattern. It's very bizarre. I'm going to try using my buffer with a high grit polishing compound to see if it makes a difference.
