I totally agree with this. I have always been able to empathize with people not liking a game that I'm obsessed with. Every game has flaws, and games are like music genres- if I like EDM, you may like country, and that's ok.

People get really closed-minded about games, even past the point of "fanboy". It's like some sort of hero worship.

I am in love with the KDE System Monitor widgets. They were, of all things, what truly cemented the Linux switch for me.

I used Aquasuite on Windows to control my watercooling, and it can set up a vast amount of widgets on your background for easy monitoring of temps and other values. It will not run on Linux.

The KDE widgets give me basically the same experience, although missing a few things. It's enough that I'm happy with it, and I can check temperature and flow rates at a glance if something starts acting fucky.

OW2 is OW1. They just added a couple maps, removed some maps, took away a tank, and filled it full of grind and micro transactions. Absolutely no reason for "2".

I find this pretty intriguing, tho I would like to see some thermal testing.

If it isn't ridiculously expensive, the ease of use would be worth it.

He wants to turn FL into a Christian country club. Only the wealthy and like-minded are invited. Can't pay, too bad.

Honestly, if you are just getting a torque wrench for spark plugs (and any other BASIC projects at home) any brand will do. Just make sure it has the torque range you need.

I recommend "click type" because they are easy to operate correctly, and easy to take care of. Seriously, read the manual that comes with it, and follow the steps everytime. If you do this, it will last you a long time.

I bought my two torque wrenches from Harbor Freight for about $10 each. Torquing frame bolts or spark plugs? No problem. Would I use them for valve train or engine internals? Absolutely not.

If you don't want to go the cheap route, go to any big box store like Home Depot or Lowe's (US) and anything name brand will do, as long as it has the torque range you need.

I have all three cases (4000D, 5000D, 7000D), and offer a counterpoint.

They are very complicated cases, the 5000 and 7000 especially. But- they work for just about anything. No matter what style you want in your PC (solid colors, hidden cables, hidden drives, air cooled, water cooled, etc), these cases work. I agree there is excess, but it makes them work for a vast amount of users. Nothing like buying a case and realizing there is absolutely no way you can fit something in there.

I'll agree with you that first time setup is a bitch. But once you get it how you want it, it's fantastic. And I appreciate the extra parts, because (at least for me) builds change frequently, according to my needs and interests. I just found a smaller box, and keep all the extra components in it saved in case I need them later.

Either way you look at it, I hope you enjoy it, they are great cases.

I play in a party of four, most times. Two of us on KB/M, two on controller. No problems.

Honestly, I'd be really happy with that. Be a good way to help pay for server/maintenance costs. I have no idea how it would be possible to make it work across instances.

Crucial generally makes great stuff. The BX series is low budget, but everything else I have used is awesome. I have two MX500 2TB, a 1TB version, and a P3. No complaints from any of it. I upgraded RAM in an older laptop, and it works perfect as well, and the price is nice.

Contact any local union in your area. They can point you in the right direction. UAW, IW, IBEW, any of them should be helpful if you call them and ask about obtaining materials and information.

Have you ever paid attention to packet loss?

Honest question, because I'm an electrician and Ethernet is so fickle, I've always assumed it would play hell on the overall quality.
