I have always treated illness with port and brandy (general lurgy/fever) or ginger wine (ginger is great for settling your stomach), as i have never been a great fan of whisky.

I have however this year started being able to drink whisky and even enjoy it so shall probably be migrating to the Whisky Mac as my new medicinal tipple.

The general rule of thumb (though there are many exceptions) is that if the country has an E in the name, they spell it "whiskey." Else, "whisky."

Canada - whisky
America - whiskey
Scotland - whisky
Ireland - whiskey

I think Britain is ambiguous (although it's probably properly referred to as "Great Britain" or "England.")

Pretty sure that it's just Fallout 4, because it's a poorly coded un-optimized pile of poo poo (even if I am having fun playing it).

Mine locks up randomly every few hours while playing, forcing a hard re-boot to get out. My video card is a 4gb GTX 980 with the latest drivers from Nvidia (I updated the drivers to see if that was the issue). I'm only running in 1920x1080 also (although everything is on high/ultra). Temps are fine across the board, and after a re-boot it will play fine for another several hours before it does it again.

It shouldn't be. The idiot I work with had a ram with no heat. He says nothing is wrong and cant find what the problem is. I walk over to where its parked and you can see a crack in the plastic of the radiator, and all the white lines of coolant draining down it. Same dude trys to weasel his way out cleaning all the time. He will even go so far as to try and finish a job I have waiting on parts while I'm working on another one. No job is a rush either and he was originally hired to clean the shop. Which for the past seven months he rarely does. I have a large vintage craftsman breaker bar in my toolcart at work and have many times had to stop myself from kneecaping him with it. When my old boss bought the three foot long half 1/2" breaker bar from snap on the guy on the truck told him "that should be big enough to beat some sense into him" To bad we never get to beat him with it.

Daredevil is very good. I hear nice things about The Flash but if it's anything like Arrow it'll get a bit too melodramatic for its own good sometimes. Better Call Saul is excellent for some character drama but it's a bit on the short side. No idea if you've watched it yet but it's second season should start in a couple of months.

I used to run AMD/ATI back in the original Max Payne days. ATI is highly unlikely to have me as a customer again after all the bullshit with their catalyst drivers back then. So many issues that nvidia never had. I keep hearing about ATI still sucking fat dicks. My wife has a sempron in the box I built her and I'm...unimpressed. They feel like the Kia of processors. Getting better, but still a second-rate processor compared to Intel.

You guys are so good at twisting my arm. I've been pining for a GTX980 for a while now.

Subaru isn't weeping oil anymore, thank goodness, that means I can go to San Antonio for NYE and blow some poo poo up on my friend's property :911: Still stinks of burning oil here and there. Oh well, my e46 did that for ages too. Need to do valve cover gaskets.

That garmin edge 520 is loving cool as hell, I really like it. Any of you cycly goons wanna give me some pointers on getting this new-fangled non-magnetic cadence sensor to wake up? It sure sucks rear end and I wish I could just wave a magnet in front of it to make it work. It refused to start until *after* my ride was over yesterday.

I have a GTX970 I keep half-meaning to sell and replace with a 960. I just dont use it enough to justify having it sitting in my box. AMD is just no bueno at this point IMO.

The 520 is great. If you got the kit (I did) it seems to...just work? IDK, I get cadence readings easy enough.

Boxing day = 12/26. Deals for all as stores try to clear out excess x-mas inventory. I didn't do poo poo for it as I'm stick sick. :(

That's the truth. I have the exact same symptoms. I've almost blacked out more times than I can count from it. It gets worse the better shape I get in. If I'm a fat lazy layabout for months on end, the symptoms don't surface. If I do lots of running and cycling and get below 190 lbs, it starts coming on real bad. It's especially awful if I'm crouched for a few minutes and then stand up. It's like a wave of heat and blackness, I'm temporarily blind when it happens. My wife knows to stand near me these days because I reach for her to steady myself. I've only fallen a couple times.

My wife is trying to enable me so bad to go get a 970. Today at the movies (TFA) the subaru decided it wanted to hard start :rolleyes:. I'm just trying to get out of debt. She does make a good point though, that my routine is: get up, go to work, come home from work, exercize, play gaems, eat, go to bed. She said that it's something that gets daily use and I've been complaining about games getting laggy/broken for a year now.

Clearly if it's wife approved you should get a pair of 980ti's and run them SLI. Of course you probably need to upgrade your power supply for that, and then your motherboard and CPU to feed them, but hey, she approved and that's all just required infrastructure! :v:
