I have a 970. I barely turn my desktop on these days. I should really sell it one of these days and put in a 965 or something. Most demanding thing I do is supreme commander on dual 1920x1200s. Well, someday I'll play star citizen I guess. Are they still doing refunds on that game?

Yeah I just built a new system w/ a 4g MSI 970 and it's the poo poo - made a huge difference in BF4 over my prior Radeon 4870 (iirc?). Real glad I didn't skimp with a 960 like I was planning; if it's a gaming - oriented upgrade that's just silly.

What this sausage party needs is a big dollop of ketchup! Too bad I didn't make any. :(

I fixed the garbage Sebring that needed struts, and got my $100 in actual money from offered-sex-as-payment girl. And then on the way home my 2000 civic decided that it was done running on the side of a 55mph state route. Fuel pump makes noise, so it's probably the coil/igniter/cap/rotor etc because ~Honda~
Now I'm driving my considerably jankier 99 civic that really needs ball joints and rear brakes.

Sup Fallout Melting buddy. I haven't quite killed my card with it yet, but can barely run it and the textures look like rear end on it.
Also tried to run GTAV on my PC. That got some interesting results. :frog:

The textures weren't loading properly for me until I did this:

Go to ENB website enbdev. com/mod_fallout4_v0282.htm Download latest ENBoost for fallout 4 Open it with rar or whatever Archive extractor program Copy ALL files from the "Patch" folder to ur Fallout 4 Game folder (where Fallout4.exe is).
Next open file "Enblocal.ini" ForceVideoMemorySize=true VideoMemorySizeMb=4096 - without any crash (i have GTX560 1Gb VRAM and AMD 8350) VideoMemorySizeMb=6000 - IF u have 8Gb RAM VideoMemorySizeMb=10000 - IF u have 16Gb RAM
Thats it. Enjoy the game. PS Textures needs to load if u come closer to them so it take on my HDD about 2-4 seconds in huge towns. FPS - 30 - 40. All credits goes to Boris Vorontsov ENB Developer

I like my 960, but I got it for a stupid price six months ago and, as I said, I've got a microatx case and tight heat requirements, and its a budget, not gaming, build. If you're going for gaming, 970 is the bees knees

That's sums it up for me lately. Every car in the family (4) that I take care of needs loving work and I have a pile of parts collecting dust because I'd rather go loving fishing, but this weekend I almost wasn't able to do that because my Miata decided to have a random misfire while I'm driving it with a hosed brake booster which is not fun if you like stopping quickly.

All because the exhaust studs broke on the protege, and should not have been driving the Miata to begin with but the gently caress if that's gonna stop me from going fishing :colbert:

But yeah gently caress cars.

I just picked up a 960 for $150 vs nearly double that for a 970, the way I see it it's still an upgrade from my 5750. Plus it's that much more I'll have to spend on the rest of the rig, and be able to buy a properly buku card later on.

E: Are we still doing mashups? Because this one is my perennial favorite:

Dude at work had a wicked cough last week, swore he wasn't sick (he has three kids in school, also California) and we forced him to go to medical...where they just gave him cough drops.

Texted me yesterday and told me he felt like he was dying, and I just woke up to go to work and now I'm feeling loving sick too.

My manager has a sickly brood and comes in sick all the loving time. Ticks me off and I'm always telling her she should work from home instead of spreading the germs to the rest of us, but she never listens and inevitably one or more of us end up sick and missing days or working from home because of it.

Inevitably she'll be the type to talk poo poo about you being ill constantly too, too dense to realise she's the host for the vast majority of illness... You don't get bravery points by being at work with something contagious, just stay away so you can limit everyone else's exposure to your grossness.

This weekend I replaced a wheel hub assembly on my winter car. After completing the job and throwing the axle nut back on I realized my torque wrench doesn't go high enough for the torque specs (175ft/lbs). Didn't want to bother my friend so I called a local monroe shop and asked if they could just spec it for me and I'd tip em $20 and they said sure bring it over.

I get there and wait about 20 minutes and someone finally comes outside with me. All he has is a 1/2 socket wrench and the socket. No breaker bar or leverage of any sort. He puts it on, tried lifting up can't do it. Turn it around and tried pushing down can't do it. He tried for no more than 15 seconds or so and said "This is retarded its way too tight, you're on your own" and walked inside without saying anything else and left me :confused:.

Came home, put my 1/2 inch socket on with a *gasp* pipe on the end of it for more leverage. Backed it off half a turn and then drove to my friends house where he specced it in 5 seconds.

What a muppet. I've never complained at any establishments before but right away I came home to make a complaint on their website.

The real fun is dealing with this at a company that makes working from home a nightmare (if they even allow it) because they're so overly paranoid about "not getting what they're paying you for". So nobody wants to take their sick time unless they're actually deathly loving ill.

She is actually really good about people taking time off, and I already work from home two days per week so if I am feeling iffy, then working from home is fine.

I just don't like being sick, so would prefer she apply the same sort of practice to herself.

At a previous job I was written up for calling in sick and then and then again about 10 months later when I showed up with the flu, running a 102 degree fever and frequently vomiting.

My manager denied having written me up for being sick previously until I showed him the paperwork bearing his signature, and then claimed I didn't "understand" that I wasn't written up previously for actually being sick but for calling off on a Sunday because I was one of a handful of people working that day. He never could explain how this meant I wasn't expected to show up regardless of health issues/illness.
