I'm aware of it. It boots fast enough that I usually shut it down when it's unplugged and I'm not using it anyway.

Replaced my Surface Pro 2 with a Pro 4. My wallpapers aren't the right resolution anymore.

My Pro 2 is the 128 GB SSD, 4 GB RAM version and I've managed it pretty well, but I splurged and got the 256 SSD, 8 GB RAM Pro 4. The keyboard is decent to type on and the trackpad is the first trackpad I've ever encountered that I consider good. I'm giving up battery life compared to the Pro 2...

Looks like the Ipad pro with the stylus plugged in to charge. No idea whatever the hell the phone is plugged in to. I could understand Apple disabling touch id if it detects a 3rd party fingerprint reader, but bricking the phone is ridiculous.

Between those two? Pixel C. Stock Android which will likely be updated longer than the Tab. Higher resolution screen as well, though I'm sure the Tab has a nice screen. Walked in to a Best Buy yesterday to look at the Surface Pro 4 and I think I'm finally going to have to upgrade from the Pro...

As posted earlier in the thread, GMG is giving you 2 keys, so don't just copy/paste the whole string. One is for the game, one is for the preorder bonus. For me, the 2nd key listed was actually the game, which you need to redeem first.

From what I've heard, MS is interested in the learning tech behind it.

Hah, this has got to be the best marketing campaign of all time. 13 Things You Should Never Say To a Furry

No caps that I am aware of and yes, your growth is determined by the vocation you are when you level.

Yep. we just need competition. TWC recently announced an increase to rates here. $59/mo for 15/1, woo. Modem rental is supposedly going up as well, last I knew it was $8/mo.

Absolutely. Plenty of uninsured people out there with medical issues that go untreated due to being unable to afford proper care. They just deal with it until they maybe end up in the ER. Other than the surgeon for my appendectomy a few years ago, I haven't seen a doctor since my...

Owning a home or vehicle are much more of an optional thing for people. Living? Not so much.

Something that's easy to miss is that once you hit level 10 (not vocation rank) you can change vocation at the inn in Gran Soren. Your stats increase based on what your vocation is when you level. Charts can be foundin this guideif you want to min max stats. Escort quests start the moment...

I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm an edge case and will continue to get fucked until some major change happens to the ACA.

People do this all the time with the microwave at work. I think I'm punching the time to heat up lunch and hit start and the thing shuts off before I get out of the break room. I think what really rustles me about it is that I usually fail to check beforehand.

I go to the NY exchange, enter all my info, which includes if my employer offers insurance and how much it costs. I get told that I don't qualify for a subsidy despite being in the income range. I played around with the application, and if I said my employer didn't offer insurance or I didn't...

Employer offers a gold plan that I can't afford, but the cheapest bronze plan on the marketplace is nearly double the premium. Since my employer offers insurance, I get disqualified for subsidies. I'll be paying the tax penatly again next year, joy.

Sonofabitch, it's sad to see that Gravy's gone. Thanks for informing us and I hope that you do end up sticking around. Glad to see your comments about Hospice care. I deal with a lost of medical professionals through work and the Hospice nurses are some of the best. Lots of great gallows...

[Insert obligatory PC master race comment here]

Do you have it on a SSD? I never hear any complaint of load times being bad and I never had any issues, but I had it on my SSD.

The homing is nice, but fast moving enemies still dodge plenty if moving laterally. I think I just mainly miss climbing up on enemies and carving their eyes out.

So far I only have 1 complaint: on a 16x10 monitor the game is letterboxed to 16x9. Decided to try playing a caster this time around and it's not a fun as melee or archer was. Will give it some more time before I decide if I want to change though.

This is a surprisingly good port. Never got around to doing much of the expansion content on the PS3 version, but even if I had it's well worth the price. Now Capcom needs to make a proper sequel.

NY approves $55 billion Charter-Time Warner Cable deal - The Buzz: Business news Well, NY has approved Charter buyout of Time Warner. Part of the approval requires Charter to offer 300 Mbps to the entire state by 2019. Considering I pay just shy of $60 for 15/1 Mbps, I can only imagine how...

ISP at work is doing maintenance tonight. Everything I do is taking an extra second or so and it's rustling my jimmies far more than I expected.

Getting my dad (a retired chef) to text me instead of call when he has a plate of something in the fridge for me to grab on my way to work.

As good as the golden age arc is, it will be glorious to finally move past it.

I found the fistfights to be very easy even when underleveled. Counter and get a hit or two in, wait for the next attack, rinse and repeat until you win.

Activating an unlocked phone with a carrier does not lock it to that carrier.

Controls the finances is a bonus if 100% sane, not a drawback.

Per text charges has always been a moneymaking scam for carriers. They cost almost nothing and are carried by information already going between your phone and the tower.

Fi uses TMO and Sprint, which he said doesn't work where he's at.

Straight Talk and Net10 (they're both run by Tracfone) have Verizon options. $45/mo + tax gets you unlimited talk, text and 5GB of data. The catch is that you don't get roaming, so you might be fucked. Might want to check their coverage map and see if it includes your area. You also might...

Fafner Exodus just finished and was quite good, though depressing. I liked it more that Iron Blooded Orphans, though that may change as continues. It's the first Gundam show that I've watched, so I don't know the history and am probably missing stuff built up in previous shows.

The air conditioning in my office isn't working tonight. In December. In upstate NY. I'm not supposed to need this shit until June.

Well, you can watch the video of something "cosmically dumb"right here. Edit: Damn you khorum!

While you can find plenty of thing to nitpick, it feels like a Star Wars movie, unlike the prequels. I'd rank this equal to, or slightly better than RotJ, behind ANH and ESB.

Oh I don't doubt that's their plan. Seeing as that the X has the same guts as the One (minus a few bits) in a smaller package, I have no reason to replace My OPO. Hmm...maybe they just wanted some free advertising. Dammit, I fell for it.

So if anyone's interested in a OnePlus X, they just gave me an invite for some reason. It's valid for the next 3 days.
