  1. @adiwan ... Who still has PCI hardware in 2019 ? I mean, I guess if I did then I would look at stupid things like this with really big eyes http://rainbowdash.net/url/875100

    But yeah, most people I know avoid MSI and Gigabyte MoBo's like the plague.

  2. @scribus I am not sure if I follow. You're saying that some people are covering their butts ? So I decided to piece some things together.

    Eventually I found http://rainbowdash.net/url/875093 , which means that the news is already out there.

    You say that by the time 'they' are done covering their butts, there's is nothing left for the real news.

    But there is for the Greenland story ? But THAT is getting wall-to-wall coverage.

    So again, why are the traditionally liberal and extremely liberal 24 newscyclists outlets not doing their "Gun control good" spiel instead of "Denmark good, greenland not for sale, small-hands-guy-bad"

  3. @mrmattimation But democrats HATE trump. Why would they play along in a distraction that is so obvious that you figured it out.

    Also who in the name of collusion itself are you calling Fairfax County's most well funded terrorist organization ? I tried googling it and turns out the "Women for Trump National Day of Training" is tomorrow. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875091

    I highly doubt you meant that.

  4. @techdisk The eternal misadventures of a techie being taken advantage of by both family and alcoholic beverages.

    "Hey can you get me Microsoft Office for free ?"

    Well I could if you were running a Linux based OS real easy

  7. Being sick at home having nothing to do ( except say hi to the proverbial angels and demons on your shoulder, if you have a vivid imagination ) allows for me to find the time to dig DEEP and remember stuff I burried and forgot somewhere.

    See here, a webcomic I loved some 13 years ago

    http://rainbowdash.net/url/875072

    Apparently it is STILL being updated like once per 2 days, wow.

  8. Stupid idea ( I am full of em )

    I watched http://rainbowdash.net/url/875063 ( and http://rainbowdash.net/url/875064 before that )

    What if I were to use a Wimshurst machine to effectively power these "zombie led lights" ?

    One step further, use a mini sterling engine powered by a tea-light to power the Wimshurst macine. Problem will be fine-tuning the rotational force.

    But I might make an assembly of fire-powered-light that way :D

  9. Well, here are 2 pictures of Jay Bauman side by side, one from 2012, the other from 2015.

    Not sure if that is a boss-transformation, or as one of my friends joked, the uptake of alcohol intake.

    Well, I know what horse I am going to bet on. http://rainbowdash.net/url/875061

  11. @scribus about 70% insanity and 30% "Well my parents had no idea what they were doing, I can do better"

    And yet everytime I look at those figures ( before submitting this dash ) I can hear Vaas's words reverb in my head and increment a certain number untill it exceeds, Idunno, how does 200 sound ?

  15. @mrmattimation Putting things on the backburner just because you are scared of what you might find is a road to disaster.

    Probably unrelated, this just popped in my head http://rainbowdash.net/url/874971

  16. I have gotten my hands on a 'toy' that someone did not want to play with anymore. Said he did not care anymore since he thought it was broken since it would flash but not boot through afterwards. Or something like that.

    Well I am going to give it a go, probably when I get back home, flash it myself ( or whatever it is you need to do ), whack it a few times. If nothing else I will just re-use the heat-pads and project-box. Also use the board components for desoldering practice.

    Pretty sure this is the datasheet of the product http://rainbowdash.net/url/874964 ... If only there was some video showing how to do a simple project from point zero onwards. You know, like with all those Raspberry Pi YouTube video's out there.

    Alternatively my Google-Fu is worse than terrible since I am at Camp.

    Alternative to the alternatively alternative, I am too FUBAR to recognise that I am too drunk for any of this schtuff RN.

  17. @thismightbeauser Actually I am sure that pretty much all recycle programs are bad on the human psyche. A lot of people think "Hey I can use this and feel less guilty ( or even good ) about the environment"

    Cashier: "Care to have your groceries bagged ?"
    Fictional halfwit : "Recycled plastic bags ?"
    Cashier: "That or recycled paper bags"

    Too bad I have no idea how to find the output or run a .1 microfarad capacitor in parallel with it.

    I do not even think it is in the schematic that he shows.

  22. Oh look, there is drama surrounding 007 again. Not James Bond mind you, just 007. Apparently a woman is going to play the new Bond 007 and not that guy I talked about about a month ago and his unflattering photo.

    Does not really help that clickbait articles go with "Captain Marvel Actor Gets 007 Movie" ( no matter which side of the coin you are on, you know Brie Larson is seen as a flawed everything by the haters ).

    Look people, I just have one thing to say.

    "Make it good, or don't bother" Please, just saying. Noone I know talks more positively about Female Ghostbusters than about Mr Plinket. Judge for yourself what HE is https://youtu.be/AHUV8QLpEAc

  23. @adiwan You forgot the clones of Luke named Luuke and Luuuke ( no really ).

    But yeah, fair point. All movies have severe faults and cracks in them. However it took Disney only 2 mainline movies to break the fandom. The two biggest sides seem to be those who absolutely love it and defend it so hard till their mind seems to break ( warning, 2 hour podcast of someone whose mind seems to break defending the movie https://youtu.be/bXs0LXqK2SM ). Those who still come out with movies why it all sucked and why it is all going to hell. I am not even sure if that 'side' is actually truthfull when they shout 'Please make Brie Larson a Jedi, let it all die !' or not.

    Meanwhile I like to see myself as in the middle and heavily in the minority.

    Imagine a kid creating a beautiful sandcastle on a beach only to come back the next day to find out that there is now a squatter playing with 'your' sand castle. Surely you can share, right ? But part of me still goes "You know, this could have been better

  24. @adiwan I know where you are coming from but no. I do not accept things like grimoire cards for something I would have liked. ( This doubles as a Destiny jab )

    I do not need to remind you that Disney upon acquiring the Star Wars franchise the first thing they did was declare all the extended universe stuff un-canon. I might as well just skip the middle man and start to read fan-fiction.

    Hell, come to think of it. 3 months ago I chuckled at CuckleFhuck... Fluffle PuffleChuck... one of those things, hold on let me get the thing I remember

  25. @adiwan Everything dies if you hit it on the head hard enough.

    Except Captain Phasma. Mark my word she will either be in the next episode/movie shrugging off a critical hit on her head, or she will not be in the next episode/movie at all making her character fit in between Watto and Fodesinbeed Annodue.

    All I wanted is some amazing woman be awesome. Not for this woman to be wrapped in tin-foil and have less screen time or impact than Admiral Motti ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874904 )

    Heck I could write her in a more epic space opera and I am drunk half the time.

    We start off with StarKiller Base being under New Republic's command with Captain Phasma pretty much being the head honcho when the Supremacy, multiple dreadnoughts, some Interdictor Star Destroyers ( they block hyperspace and communications ) to take over the facility. Then later have Kylo force-choke Phasma on display and throw her to the floor. Helmet flies off, and you see her eyes as she surrenders to Snoke.

  26. What I read : "Stepladder kink"
    What I my brain came up with : [ inserts image ]

    No seriously, I think I should not google that, ever. I can almost guarantee me that I am better off not knowing what a 'Stepladder kink' actually is. http://rainbowdash.net/url/874880

  27. You know what I would appriciate ? for when I turn my computer to sleep and start meditating or sleeping or something you normally do in silence that my computer does not randomly decide "Hey you know, this would be a great time to do my updates"

    Then after the updates it goes back to load all the things that were previously open, such as YouTube tabs I had put on pause to listen to / watch later. But I guess getting shocked to wide alert on http://rainbowdash.net/url/874866 while Angry Joe rips some game a new one, while at the same time ERB's "Steven Spielberg vs Alfred Hitchcock" and Luis Rossman does a RIP&TEAR on a poor piece of electronics, all together fight for dominance of my speakers.

    By Celestia's beard I loathe Windows 10. >_<

  28. @nerthos You know, I agree with you. But you should probably go watch the video. Heck go with the straight up reply video of this guy https://youtu.be/KngleLumR_U .

    I guess the biggest problem is that EC thinks that we should stop to normalize the Nazi's. Those being ACTUAL Nazi's and their ideology, by being extremely patronising to the point of nausea in Multiplayer Games.

    Also to tinker with the matchmaking system to do the opposite of rewarding Nazi's. Which is just a system so insane that the moment you write it down you realize that you punish ALL players because your game has Nazi's in them.

    Also it was stated that because 'safeguards are being eroded', you might not go off of a website like stormfront because you do not mind playing as Hanz Mit Der Flammenwerfer in some game.

    But the birth of a meme, the absolute beginning. "There you are, playing a game, and all of a sudden bam you're a Nazi, you did not ask for this" is golden. I mean, you did buy the game.

  29. "It's like some company sells you a bomb to test your house against earthquakes" - ( https://youtu.be/y_bbX_Ch1Z8 )

    You know what I would rather have seen ? This guy showing us cheap ways to implement a cheap protection or tester against these things. I mean the "USB Killer Tester" pretty much looks like a SMD Keramic Condensator and 2 wires that come out of it ( see 1:45 of this vid and https://youtu.be/MW1mk68YdJM )

    Nothing against this YouTuber but I imagine that a lot of children watch his stuff. I mean, remember when Linus Tech Tips talked about this too ?

    ... Well in the very least I now have more reasons to X-ray USB devices. Unless if that is somehow bad for their data.

  30. So who here unironically still watches the Simpsons ? I honestly gave up somewhere at season 10 ( which were on local TV around 2004 ) and ever since I completely gave up on them. Then 13 years later some guy with the name Super Eyepatch Wolf made this thing ( http://rainbowdash.net/url/874749 ) and I went... "Ahhh... The loss of writers was the death knell and Simpsons evolved into something it was never destined/intended to be"

    And no I do not count coming home and glomping the couch after a long day of work where you accidentally hit the remote-control, TV turns on and the simpsons happens to be on so you watch it. I mean such levels of exhaustion do not happen often to me, but they do occasionally happen.

    I might even quote homer when I see it, "Up next, it is the simpsons" ... Do'h ... I am not going anywhere for a while, I wish I had a Sgrapers... Hmm... SFrankerZrs drool
