You say that now, but I’ve had a mobo burn out far more recently than I have a PSU (Gigabyte blows, for the record).

Well, to look on the bright side, it’s still better than ‘36, I guess...

Please, at least those morons can name an actual street/road in your area, for most of the rest of us they can’t even properly place what friggin’ region we’re in, forget granular details like street layouts. In the mind of the average NYer, “the Midwest” extends from Buffalo to Sacramento, and from, oh, I don’t know,…

Geographically close, it’s the USS Texas plan.

Check your CL, and/or if you have a decent-sized public university nearby, see when they hold sales of surplus equipment that are open to the public, you can easily find awesome chairs for a song. E.g., I’m typing this in a carbon black Steelcase Leap V2, which is a splendid model (I say this as someone who has had…

It’s cool, you’ve still got Andrew W.K.’s guest appearance on Pig Goat Banana Cricket to fall back on. :-)

Where did I say that, brand-humping lackwit? Go on then, I'll wait.

Unfortunately, this shitty company/CCP front got big in the first place by blatantly, shamelessly stealing code and tech from companies like Cisco, so in a not-particularly-convoluted way, Chinese spy tech is American spy tech. Oh, and you too, Canucks, can’t forget Nortel was also one of their big targets.

My all-time favorite encounter along these lines was when some completely oblivious imbecile backed up towards the edge of a subway platform, as the train was pulling in, without so much as bothering to even cast a glance where he was going, and nearly plowed into me as I was walking by towards the end of the…

For that matter, aren’t they likewise sick of Big Science pushing Gravity Theory on them? They should all go jump off a suspension bridge in a poetic mass protest.  

Don’t forget about all the appalling “Holocaust victim” videos from last year, those were pretty classy...

Believe me, I’ve tried this (admittedly far more out of entropy than for conservation purposes), the neighbors get pissy.

That’s exactly what I said to myself upon reading that, and I worked in IT for years, lol. Who uses “computer” nowadays? Even the incredibly generic “device” seems to be far more prevalent. I’m a Google user, I’m jealous they even have the option, I’d use “computer” as a trigger in a heartbeat if I could.  

Just an incredible breach of ethics on the part of everyone involved, and there really is no possible excuse that could be fashioned to explain the journal’s actions away, these imbeciles elected to willingly rebroadcast and amplify (and in the minds of a legion of morons, sanctify for all time) a self-evidently…

In South Africa, where it seemed like everyone grilled everything every day (and it rocked), after brushing the heated grill they rub it down with half an onion on the end of a fork. The steaming juices help remove gunk, and to the extent any flavor may be imparted, it’s mild and pleasant.  

Same boat, FWIW; I bought the PS2 ethernet adapter at launch (I still remember biking down Fullerton in Chicago to pick it up) and set up my account immediately, have owned literally every system Sony ever released (even the PSTV), and have even platinumed something like 25-30 first-party games, yet still heard zilch…

in order to keep the EU from becoming a unified power that could be a global equal to America

I’m not surprised, a friend of mine from work had a geothermal system installed a few years back, and even with it being a cheaper horizontal layout as he lives outside of town and has several acres to play with, it still cost a small fortune. I live in the city, on a normal-sized plot situated on hillside that is…

What, you actually played Farming Simulator 19 and/or Cities: Skylines from last May? I just assumed anyone who had even the slightest interest in either also had a serviceable PC and already picked them up as an incidental throw-ins in some especially depressing Humble Bundle ages ago.

LOL, yeah, right, exactly--who’s ever heard of Randy Weaver or David Koresh, amirite? I mean, other than Timothy McVeigh.
