All Is Lost is a great movie if you don't mind hardly any dialog.

I tried watching Black Mirror but I can't get past the accents and not being able to understand half the poo poo they're saying.

[edit] If that's what UK goons think of American TV I don't blame you, I can't loving do it.

Weekend Cons: The damned Panthers failing to cover their +11 spread cost me a 4way parlay $20 to win $260.

At least I actually got granted a venue change for my jury duty this time around - instead of driving through downtown LA hellscape traffic I only have to go three miles to the local court. I really wouldn't mind serving on a jury, it's the loving commute that gets me.

So what happens when you're in love with somebody and they're in love with you, except when they drink they turn into a huge loving rear end in a top hat full of self-loathing that egg you on to punch them in the face super hard?

Obviously I haven't punched her in the face super hard, but I am finding it hard to deal with her bullshit when she drinks. I've tried to get her to not drink so much, but 4 beers is her limit, and it's hard to cut her off that low because I'm essentially a functional alcoholic. I know that she thinks she isn't worth loving and so on, and it's usually not a thing unless she's drank a few beers. I try to cut her off but my tolerance is high enough that I don't notice that few. It's possible that I'm the rear end in a top hat here.

She's been to a therapist and is on antidepressants and all that. I try so hard to be there for her and for the kids and all, but I am finding trouble being supportive when she gets drunk and says "I know you hate me. Why do you keep saying you love me," and things like that with related hurtful things.

I'm not trying to steal 13"'s thunder or anything but goddamn. I have to vent somewhere and this is my safe place.

Seriously: She stops drinking and/or goes to rehab, one of you gets a DV charge, or you break it off.
The middle one happens all the time and is the worst choice. You've identified the issue, which is a great start. Also, if she's gonna stop drinking, you probably have to too (Fun Fact: She may be acting like that to so degree because you might become a jerk when drinking too). Smoke weed instead or something.
If it isn't worth both of you stopping drinking, either it isn't what you thought it was or you need to stop drinking even more.

Probably your ROM. Are you using the stock kernel that comes with SlimLP or another custom kernel?

Am I the only one here that has a AMD processor? I'm still rocking a 1090T hexcore because for whatever reason I haven't been able to justify a new rig and pull the trigger. Will probably do that after the Broadwell update.

It's the SlimLP kernel.



I'm suspecting it's a kernel issue, but I wasn't using my wireless charger much at all on stock Android 5.0. There hasn't been a new nightly of Slim in almost 3 weeks; I may try another kernel to see if that fixes anything.

I've had some odd stuttering issues with music/video playback on every ROM I've tried except the stock image as well; I may go ahead and revert back to (rooted) stock and wait for XDA to catch up a bit. It drives me nuts when I'm driving and streaming music.

My last build was an AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+; this i5 replaced it. And the only upgrading I really see myself needing is more HDD space (because ~3.5TB isn't enough :rolleyes: ). And maybe doubling the RAM.

rscott posted:

Nowadays it just doesn't seem like overclocking is worth it, PCs haven't been held back by CPUs/GPUs except in high resolution video games for years now. Flash storage technology finally maturing to give us durable and cheap SSDs have been the greatest boon to having a computer that feels "fast" since going from single core to dual core imo

You really aren't kidding. I do notice a difference when I go back to stock speeds (3.3 GHz) on this chip, but it's not really that significant except when gaming. Going to a SSD made this thing feel like a god damned supercomputer; most of my usage is web-based stuff, and it really feels like I'm just waiting on whatever web server to respond more than anything. Anything and everything that's on the SSD loads pretty much instantly, even Photoshop opens in under 5 seconds, Lightroom takes maybe half a second longer.

My first PC was a 286, 8 MHz, 640k RAM, 20MB HDD (IDE instead of MFM or RLL, looking back that's pretty surprising), DUAL 720k 3.5" floppy drives (no 1.44MB floppies for this bad boy!) with Tandy video (basically a cross between CGA and EGA). Today, my loving watch has more processing power, storage, and RAM, and my phone is more powerful than most of the PCs I've owned. And I had two computers before that PC (Apple II+ with expanded RAM and two floppy drives that was a hand-me-down from my dad's accounting firm, and a Tandy Color Computer 3).

thinking out loud via typing: I wonder if someone could ever dig up the source code for Telegard or Renegade and port it to Android. Run a BBS out of your pocket. :corsair:

I ran an intel 3.4 Ghz ES (engineering sample) P4 for something like 6 years. I wonder how much electricity I wasted.

I have a 2.8 P4 in the next room that exists solely to act as a DVR and TV tuner.

It sometimes doesn't go to sleep on its own (despite not having a keyboard or mouse on it; only input is an IR receiver). I should toss my Kill-A-Watt on it and see how much power it actually pulls; I'm sure it's significantly more than my i5.

keykey posted:

I just upgraded my machine 2 months ago for the first time in 9 years. I built it this time with energy effeciency in mind. I cut my over wattage from 560 watts to 375. As a result it's also quieter. The only thing I really splurged on was a GTX 780 which I got at Fry's for $275.

Take that PSU back and get your money back. It's going to fall over and burst into flames the first time you try to actually use that video card (well, it'll at least overheat and shut off.. if you're lucky) - nVidia's official spec sheet states the GPU alone can pull 250 watts, and they recommend a minimum PSU of 600 watts. Running even the best power supplies at 100% load consistently will kill them dead in a hurry, and that video card alone will pull 67% of available power if you fire up something like Crysis (assuming 100% of that power is on the 12 volt rail - which it isn't).

It's not like the PSU is pulling 100% power 24/7, it only pulls as much power as it needs. And the wattage is on the output side, on all 3 rails combined (3.3, 5, 12, with the majority on the 12V rail on modern units). The efficiency varies depending upon the PSU design, and also on how much of a load is on it, but even a low end name brand PSU will be certified "Bronze" (80% efficiency).

I have issues with my 500 watt PSU saying "gently caress you" and shutting off if I fire up something extremely graphics intensive (Crysis is always a good example), with a GTX 650 Ti.

My PC is barely audible with it on my desk - I'm sitting less than arm's length away from it right now, and can barely hear the front intake fan (which will get swapped for a SilenX pretty soon). Anything that causes a lot of disk activity drowns out the fan noise, and these are pretty quiet drives (all Hitachi; two 7200 RPM, one 5400 RPM).

Phone decided at some point last night to stop producing sounds from the speaker or the phone speaker. Didn't realize until I had two calls ring but make no sound and not be able to hear anyone talking. At least I know why I slept through my alarm now. Reboot cleared it up but now I don't really trust it as an alarm clock. Yay Monday.

Need some machining advice, I'm sure someone in this thread will have some advice. I'm putting rear disks on the E21 using parts from various VW's. The outer hub diameter of the E21 is too large to fit inside the rear disc rotor. I can't remember the measurements off hand but the hub diameter is around 146mm and the rotor inner is around 132mm. The plan now is to talk to the machinist down the road and see if he can toss the hub in his lathe and turn it down. Is there a better way to do this?

Had to leave work early today, im just so loving tired. Tomorrow is another loving treatment. Not sure how long i can keep working if this keeps up.

Lately i have been increasing my "zoom" level in browsers, and my font in documents. finally had enough when i was unable to read a serial number on an alternator until i sat next to it on the floor and put my nose in contact with the metal next to the serial. I when to the the closest glasses-shop (there probably is a better word for this in english, but im foreign and tired). Glasses are so loving expensive. and i hate glasses.

I also learned that the only way to remove a number plate light on a iveco bus is to shatter the loving thing, grind of the bolts and then replace the whole thing. seriously, i was trying to unscrew the screws from the free spinning locknuts inside the rear engine hatch. (no, you cant reach is from the inside either). When my foreman walked by, laughed and told me to hulk smash it.
