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

    I have a question for everyone going back to the beginning of this whole thread. I'm many years out of college with a major in history, I've worked a variety of jobs over the years and I'm currently bored out of my mind. I would like to transition into a new career and something in the tech...

    Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

    Looking for some opinions on my WR3 spot. I'm waffling between Brandin Cooks and Tyler Lockett; Cooks can be a little hit or miss but Brees is money at home in primetime and Cooks has done really good at home usually too. The thing that is complicating it for me is that I am running Brees as...

    Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

    Ew. Yeah sounds like you are kind of just hosed in that situation. I haven't done a two QB league so I don't know how heavily a second one weighs overall but Latavius is a legit top tier RB right now. I'd just try to flip Hyde and toss in Reed, or one of your extra WR's, to sweeten the deal...

    Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

    Yeah trading Latavius for Rivers is a really bad deal IMO. I'd assume with Foles being on the table it must be at least a 12 or 14 team league and thus no chance at someone like Carr on the waiver wire. In that case the first deal seems pretty favorable for you since you are essentially...

    Fantasy Football: 2015 Advice Thread

    So my QB's are Brees and Bradford, and obviously Brees is out this week and Bradford is going against NYJ with the current dumpster fire that is Philly. Unfortunately the waiver wire in my league is completely bare of QB's with the best being Bridgewater/Carr/Foles etc. I'd like to try and...

    I'm looking for some opinions on my video card situation. Currently I'm using a GTX760 I bought when I built my current computer ~2 years ago, but I'm now running two 1920x1080 LCD's and while it's fine if I'm only using one of them I'd like to be able to game on one while playing videos or...

    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    As someone who was leaning towards NE but didn't care that much about either team I'm mainly just glad that we got an awesome entertaining game unlike the shit-fest that was last years Super Bowl.

    The New England Patriots 2014 Playoffs Thread

    That was such a colossal shit-show by the Packers coaching staff at the end of the 4th quarter. Packers also fucked themselves by settling for multiple field goals earlier on and giving up on playing offense later, just crazy.

    Buying a car?

    Sadly my 1994 Camry is finally dying after passing 200k miles. I was originally planning on just getting a cheapish used car to replace it but after seeing what used cars are going for I'm now strongly considering getting a new or practically new car instead. Right now I'm primarily looking...

    So uh what the hell is going on with Rask and/or the Bruins. I don't follow them at all but I grabbed him in my fantasy league because, well, it's Rask and he's just been sucking almost every game.

    Fantasy Football 2014 Advice Thread!

    So my team is sort of fucked up with AP getting benched this week. I'm putting Asiata in his spot this week and hoping Jerick McKinnon doesn't go crazy, but I'm also really unsure what to do in my flex this week. I'm flipping between Lamar Miller or Allen Hurns with a possible flyer on...

    Routers & Other Networking Stuff

    I'm looking for some opinions on a mid-level home wireless router. My parents old one died and I set them up temporarily with a Cisco/Linksys E1000 that was sitting around their house but it seems to be really flaky and cuts in and out a lot. They live somewhat in the boonies so their internet...

    I hope I'm wrong, but did anyone else get a sort of weird cliche Darth Vader-esque feeling from Adolin?

    The Grand Tour (from the guys in Top Gear)

    It was one of my favorite movies as a kid, probably watched it five or six times over the years along with another old WW2 film The Guns of Navarone. I'll still whistle the marching tune occasionally when it pops into my head.

    Yeah I've never really played any games like this before so I've been kind of terrible at it so far though I am still having fun when I play. So far I think my deaths have been approximate level 13 rogue, 23 zerker, 26 wyrmic with an arch mage alive at 15 and another zerker at 31 on his last...

    2013 NFL Season

    I still think most of the Alex Smith hate is both that he didn't become the new Joe Montana/Steve Young as the #1 pick and they've seen the rival Packers success with Aaron Rodgers who was taken later in the same draft class. He may not have lived up to expectations people created around him...

    Finally bought my video card; PNY GTX760 from Newegg with 10% off and a $40 MIR so ~195 after tax and shipping. Never really heard anything about PNY for GPU's but at that price I figured I use it for a year or so and then eBay it if I can and upgrade to the next gen.

    Uh that was Neal that kneed Marchand. Orpik's hit on Eriksson was definitely borderline but regardless of that it's never okay to grab someone from behind, drag them to the ice without being able to break their fall and then start punching them while they aren't responding. Saying he got...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well one thing you can take out of all that shit is that you have a solid friend for immediately telling you what happened. It sounds like the classic case of married too young on her part; right out of high school, maybe even her first long term relationship and then straight into kids after...

    Budget I was figuring in the $230-250 range since that seems to be the sweet spot price/performance from what I understand. Sadly that seems to be exactly what happened, I bought into the hype that Cyber Monday would have amazing deals and wasn't watching for anything before BF. When I...
