  1. Ordinarily I am not a fan of silver on any vehicle but the shade of silver along with the nice body work looks really sharp. Definitely can tell it's not a base model stang, that's for sure!
  2. The big thing with the intel cards is what I've also said about AMD in the past - How well they sink or swim will entirely depend on driver support. Nvidia really nails drivers and has done so for many many years. Hoping to see more of that coming out of both AMD and Intel in the future.
  3. Someone has drawn on his number plate with crayon
  4. Oh man. Might be time for me to upgrade this generation finally. AMD is just killing it year after year...
  5. Another OCN refugee checking in. I agree this site is far more like the glory days of OCN than anything else I've found. LTT wishes it was as cool as us
  6. Fascinating. The channel has some pretty entertaining videos on it I will definitely be adding a few to my watch later list. Neat that worked better than I would have expected. The Lexus has a couple small dents I'd like to try and pull out at some point. Need to get the back bumper scratches fixed first though. And do something about the rusty trailer hitch... Seems like body work on a used car never ends.
  7. It depends on which specific kirkland coffee beans you buy. There is one that is roasted by starbucks and the rest are not stated who roasts them (I assume not SB or they would say so). This one is pretty good and the same price/lb as all the other kirkland offerings. Cheaper than maxwell house too! Hard to beat.
  8. @Alex I found the only sticker I would ever dare put on an S2K.
  9. I do plan to get the remaster after this one. All of my buddies are raving over it figured i'd see what they're so excited about next. The trailer for it looks pretty darn good too.
  10. The way I look at it is now you know for future reference. That was the cost of the knowledge. Still kinda sucks but at least you'll have some comfy sweat pants to wear when they arrive.
  11. Final Fantasy VII on steam is on sale for $4.79 so I bought it for some nostalgia fueled gaming.
  12. Your rockers are super clean! Not a speck of rust. I saw an S2K the other day that was all hacked up and sadly not all of these cars are getting well taken care of these days. Saw an S14 240sx the other day too, was ziptied together and slammed. Bet it's still worth 18K even in that condition. Shame I sold all three of mine...
  13. Glad you got your lug nut issue sorted out. Speaking of which you haven't got any.
  14. I need to get a cadillac converter for my car. Too stinky!
  15. I was going to say I run windows 10 LTSC and it has been five years of seamless buttery smooth OS. Never had so much as a hiccup in games and I love that it allows me to control what windows updates the machine gets. Closest thing we have to a win 7 pro successor.
  16. I've got an original logitech G5 I bought new from Newegg circa 2005 and it is indeed lower latency than the new MX518. A large part of the appeal of these specific mice to me is the shape as they have a nice solid feel in the hand. That and of course they are as good as it gets My wireless mouse is a logitech G603 and I bought it specifically to control an android TV box over bluetooth. It's got dual mode you can select either BT or opt to use the fancy lightspeed low latency receiver. Ended up getting a new android TV box and no longer need it for that use so I've been using it via the little dongle on my main desktop and it's a solid contender and holds its own against the mx518 even while being wireless. Similar body shape and size as well.
  17. Bit late to the party but I like a nice cup of coffee every once in a while. I usually opt for the costco stuff roasted by starbucks as it's fairly strong with a nice flavor. No sugar or milk for me, the sweetness ruins the good flavor IMO. Not too big on tea but I've had a few that were pretty good. The standard lipton tea with a bit of lemon added is not too bad. Sadly I'm hooked on the sugary soda drinks and that's my regular each morning. Been cutting way back, am down to a 2 liter every 3 days. Down from a 2 liter every 8 hours originally lol.
  18. Didn't see one of these created yet so I made one. Am also curious to know what your mouse grip style is? And what mouse is your main one? I have a hybrid claw type grip because I got used to a mouse on a logitech G5 and that's generally the best grip on those. I'm a bit of a die hard cord guy in that I like the simplicity of a wired mouse, notably the new MX518 is a rather good wired mouse and I love mine. Although I did cross over to the dark side and buy a wireless gaming mouse and I do quite like it.
  19. I'm a bit late to the party here but I assure you I fit in quite similarly to the general discussion. My skeleton is pretty rough and I've got pain from just about every region of the body. Had an accident on a trampoline when I was 12 and caused some severe damage to my spine and neck. I've got missing ligaments in both legs so my range of motion is way beyond normal and unfortunately that makes it all the more easy to cause injuries. Both knees pop and click; sometimes giving out entirely with accompanying pain. My lower back is a big issue for me and the pain is pretty severe. Can't sleep properly these days it hurts so much. Can barely sit let alone lie down. The only time it doesn't hurt is after a hot shower pointed at the lower back. Only trouble is my shower is on the second floor and climbing the stairs sometimes is a no-go. Back muscles lock up so tightly I can hardly twist to climb them. One thing I didn't see mentioned is dental issues. I've got a condition where the bone in my jaw is disintegrating rapidly, on top of some extremely brittle teeth. And unfortunately I've been fighting tooth infections for the past two years as a result. Woke up one day and thought I was having a heart attack, turns out the infection had spread from my tooth. Skin on my upper torso was bright red and my jaw and right side neck muscles were incredibly painful and rock hard. Thankfully amoxicillin is my life saver. This is all incredibly painful and eating is now a big ordeal as I have to be careful not to cause further damage to my already brittle teeth. I've got PTSD and a genetic heart defect as well. Currently in the process of applying for disability. It's all very new to me. From what I am told I have a fairly good chance at getting SSI so that's some relief.
  20. Oh man I had no idea Biostar was still a thing. I had a Biostar board in an Athlon 64 x2 machine back in the day. Wonder if DFI and Abit are still a thing too. We lost BFG in the GPU wars. Lots of old brand names fell by the wayside since then.
  21. Made spaghetti for sunday. Also because why not. I'm an adult and can do things like that Made up a plate It's a bit more watery than I typically serve only because it smelled so good I couldn't keep waiting for the sauce to cook down and thicken any longer. Pretty darn good though!
