Mine work great, the only problem I had was the sound would crackle with loud noises but rolling back to an older version of their gaming driver fixed the problem.

That's great. I was thinking I would have to roll with digital but maybe that isn't necessary these days.

Logitech G930. I'm pretty happy with it so far. The sound is really good, and it isn't as heavy as I was expecting it to be.

I like mine ok, but sometimes they won't turn off no matter what I do. Maybe I need to do the toothpick reset thing.

Join my facebook group, so we can coordinate strategies for overthrowing the government when they get out of hand, or to kill liberals, muslims, gays, feminists, and minorities. Whichever one comes first.

I finally found one of my favorite books of my childhood. Randomly spotted it in a used book store. Ordered the rest of the authors books on Amazon.

H-O-L-Y poo poo.

This is one of those things I'd forgotten about until seeing your post. One of the books that read as a kid made me care for or understand engineering.

Either way, if you have children, have them read this. Such a good book.

This game stinks
I am an adult and I just spent an obscene amount of money on swords.

First, I got this, to replace one that I recently broke: An overpriced British :britain: Leon Paul FIE "SR-71" (worst blade name ever IMHO). All the other parts of the weapon (bellguard, handle, wiring) will be German, though, because :hitler:.




Also, just for fun, I got a "cheap" (relatively speaking) sabre kit. They don't let you go go into the beginner tournaments once you get to a certain rank, but a loophole to that rule is that it only applies when you are competing in the same weapon where you earned your ranking. My plan is to fence a different weapon to get into a bunch of beginner tournaments in the area I would otherwise not be allowed to enter. I've never competed in sabre, so I'll either learn a thing or two while getting my rear end handed to me or I'll make some coach cry by beating his fencers while I do everything wrong.

Man, sabre is the most fun. You wanna make coaches cry? Fence it like a foil, and go for tip thrusts. Most standard sabre fencers don't play the tip as a part of their game; I trained under a nationals champ for a little while and that was basically the only chance I had against him but it drove him mad every time.

Alternately, parry five during an advance and then follow it into a head hit. It's cheap, but in lower ranks it works like goddamn magic.

I started biking 2 miles to work last year and it would take 15+ minutes, now I can do my 6 mile commute in just over 18 minutes. I also lost more than 2 inches on my waist and fit into a bunch of pants I thought were gone forever.

Are you filtering water for anyone other than yourself? I bought a Brits squeeze water bottle and have been pretty happy. I'd swap it for a hard bottle if I had the chance though.

My experience with Pur products has been less than satisfactory, usually resulting in a poor fit (faucet attachment) or broken within weeks (faucet attachment and pitcher)

There was a pretty big blowup among the FGC about it. Frankly there are no good next gen fighters yet (oh snap, KI opinions exposed) and there won't be hypothetically until Guilty Gear XRD is released, so my level of concern is not terribly high.

I have one subjective and one objective complaint about this. Subjectively I think these look like poo poo. Objectively I cannot fathom why you would randomly cut out little bits of your expensive sunglass lenses, thereby making them worse at their one and only job, keeping out the sun. Plus not protecting your eyes from debris as well, and adding weak points to the lens.

They are actually vents, so the lenses don't fog up.

I've owned mine for two years and use them for mountain biking, road cycling and trail running. The holes haven't allowed any debris in and function well for ventilation to prevent the lens from fogging. I would agree that they are pretty funky looking but at the end of the day they are made for sports and not fashion.

The color scheme matches my road bike and most of my riding kits; black and white with red accents. They're actually far more functional than my previous narrow-framed prescription sunglasses, which have all the weaknesses you assumed the Oakley's have. Subjectively and objectively speaking, these Oakleys loving own. :colbert:
