I had an 8350 machine with 32gb of ram when if was in season and while it never really left me short of power, the intel 4770k and 4790k were better performers. That may not be the case anymore with stuff being more multi-core optimized but at the time, the intel single core performance was so much better than the 8350s which made a bid difference in gaming.

My old rig was an 8350 overclocked to 4.5 on liquid, crossfired 3gb 7950hd's, and 32gb of matched corsair dominator ddr3 all in a corsair 230t chassis with the bright orange paint and led fans.

The danger of most things that explode, goes away once they explode.

A lot of them are going to brushless DC motors now and 10v led dimmers so if you try jacking that into 110v you have a single use smoke machine.

If Republican voters could read, they'd be very upset.

Where we are now sure seems to be the direct result of people not getting their asses kicked for being pieces of shit.

Too many people accepted intolerance and bigotry being spread without natural consequences which let the bigots and bullies think they had the right to do it, and in the process, it convinced everyone else that the bullies were the majority.

Yeah, incompetence is the limiting factor here. It's certainly not for lack of trying.

It was an actual issue when I was looking for a dumb ceiling fan that could be speed controlled from a wall switch. I didn't want a remote, I didn't want the bullshit non-servicable integrated light, I didn't want a wireless remote, and I sure as shit didn't want any wireless or Bluetooth built in... It took going direct to the manufacturer and buying a discontinued model to get that. Absolutely fucking crazy. The light on one of the fans at my mom's house died and because its a built in led module, on a 5ish year old fan, they aren't made anymore, and you can't just swap it with an off the shelf setup because it uses some crazy non-consumer available connector.

Did you check the other yolk with a magnifying glass?

If anyone asks I just say I voted for the president. Anyone asking me that doesn't need to know and anyone who knows me already knows based on my personality.

Don't forget Republicans trying to distance themselves from the consequences of their own actions.

I'm not a fan of how they fit or their toe seams.

 

I had a really sad moment this morning. I put on my smartwool snowboarding socks that I bought back in 2008/9 to learn to snowboard in and noticed that my heels were really cold. I sat down and looked, all the wool is gone, there is just elastic like a pair of tights, I could see through them. I'm wearing them for the last time. Rest in peace comrades you have been up many mountains and kept me warm and comfortable the whole time.

To sock Valhalla with you.

The elastic still held up really well, and the wool was still super soft and comfy. I would, and have, bought more over the years but these were my first and will always remain in my heart.

I haven't thought about Gaslight in a while, I need to mix them back into rotation.

 

Just posting in reply to a previous comment, here are the everdrives I have and the sd cards working in them.

I am looking for a 50+ inch plasma tv for semi-retro gaming. I have some consoles that I want to hook up and I don't want to deal with smart bullshit and I would like something semi period correct. Does anyone have a recommendation? I remember Pioneer being really nice back in the early 00s but I never knew anyone who had one long term. Is this a terrible idea?

 

Yeah, not exactly BIFL but I am looking for a 50+ inch plasma tv for semi-retro gaming. I have some consoles that I want to hook up and I don't want to deal with smart bullshit.

I think I may have accidentally pushed some secret combo to set the android system navigation bar and notification bar to auto hide but I can't find that anywhere in the system settings on Jerboa or Android. Anyone run into this before?
