Ah - Bin # 34,205 - row 1,954 + column 13,504 - that's where the 3080 went that I was going to buy for my son at retail...

The anti-crypto thread

I'd drive right on by the day before GPU drops and marvel at the lines for psychos planning to spend the night. Now, I may need to park with the upping ante of entertainment. "thumbs up/down anyone?"

Whisky/Bourbon: Any taste good on the rocks?

I started on bourbon (woah, that was years back...) with Old Fashioneds, which eventually turned me onto rocks, then neat. I'm also wondering why you're "forcing" yourself on straight up alcohol. Order up a couple of OFs, and if you like it, stay with it. Eventually you'll get your taste buds...

Truth spoken. Ah, and I forgot in my original post (with TappyToes! no longer): +1 for Four Roses; consistently good stuff.

Whisky/Bourbon: Any taste good on the rocks?

Woodford’s my go-to neat glass of bourbon if I’m at a non-whiskey bar with a limited selection - it’s an easy find and most bars usually have it. If u can find it though, Blanton’s my sought after sip. Currently working through a WhistlePig Small Batch bottle at home in my rotation (good!)...

HBO's Chernobyl miniseries.

Great series! I’ve watched it thru three times now. I believe it’s only available on HBO and HBOmax. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Mechwarrior 5

Think of it as L4D but with big, stompy robots instead of zombies (or the CoD zombie levels). Unfortunately, again - the AI isn't the greatest; competent as it shoots you, but doesn't rely too much on tactics or practice the tenet of overpower. The AI randomly spreads damage not only on each...

Mechwarrior 5

Die hard MW fan here. Preordered. Love it; both SP and MP. Only complaint may be that it’s too easy, coming from getting beat up by Tier 1 players in MWO. The AI’s not competent at all in default settings... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Discussion Steam Winter/Holiday Sale 2019

Love Battletech, but I agree some (most) missions are uber-challenging. To avoid replaying missions, just select Ironman made, burn out early, and have a shot of bourbon. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Info HGST "Deathstar" - NOT; 15 year old HDD still going strong when it was retired

Larry - there's a whole lotta info you give that I wasn't aware of; interesting. I was not aware of the nuances of the older HGST drives, just heard so much of their reputation that I probably gave them an unfair reputation. I do have a couple of their He8s in my server; I plan to replace the...

Info HGST "Deathstar" - NOT; 15 year old HDD still going strong when it was retired

We finally moved my mother-in-law to a bit more recent Dell secondary desktop. She had a bunch of hand-me-down parts which suited her web browsing and Solitaire. I've started parting out her (really) old previous PC, and found this HGST Deskstar as her boot drive (totally forgot about it)...

Ramifications if Tesla takes the L and goes away...

For daily drivers, u can’t beat an electric car. With range anxiety all but obsolete (in-and-around town), the ease of charging and driving makes my wife consider she will never go back to ICE. Couple that with minimal maintenance (no oil changes, significantly less things to break, etc.), I...
