you spend a lot of time talking about the problems in society and alcohol being a scourge but at the end of the day, youre a judgemental piece of poo poo that thinks those people are worse than you. you're fuckin hypocritical and the way you act says so much more about you than the virtues you proclaim :rolleyes:

thinking about mac mini, but wondering if the $900 one would be enough, vs the close to 2k one which is clearly a nice piece of work

If you're separating from her why the gently caress are you spending 1k. Buy a NUC and be done with it

This situation seems untenable from my pov, but if you can work with it good on you. Kids being involved complicates stuff.

Do you stream stuff to/from the PC or is it all on the big rig? If it's just streaming get an appletv but if you want onboard storage yeah get the 1k Mac mini and plug in an external drive.

current sitch is that powerful pc acts as a server fort he house but most of the stuff is just viewed on it, as its connected to a 50" tv rather than a monitor

so I will be moving it upstairs, and need to replace it with something that can browse, stream movies and play minecraft


I see I can prolly spend $200 on a barbones mac mini style NUC pc thing, and I know ir wont perform like my main pc... but I guess I need to know whats the minimum to make it not painful to use

The playing minecraft bit complicates your purchase. The 1k mac mini won't run it, if you buy a NUC you'll have to buy a 600-700nzd NUC (looking at a site called pbtech) and then buy RAM and a hdd.

ok so coz of the relationship breakdown i think i want the family computer and so i need to replace it with something that can play movies off the network, play minecragu and browse internet

mini apple?

intel NUC?

or basement bargain pc in a case?

if you want to punish her, get her a i7 nuc. it spins up and sounds like a loving hairdryer from just opening chrome. I think lower powered nucs would be ok if you don't

If you want something cheap that plays minecraft with people on the PC, buy an Xbox one and the new minecraft version for it which has cross-platform play with windows 10 version, Android, iOS, and soon Switch and eventually PS4.

It'll also let you stream a bunch of stuff

yo if you and your wife are through I hope you're not trying to maintain some kind of sham pretend relationship for the kids' benefit. they will eventually see through it (if they haven't already) and you'll just be modeling more dysfunctional relationship behavior for them.


pretending to stay together ~*for the kids*~ should generally be avoided

yeah my parents did that and it was poo poo to learn they had been faking it

for now its because its a good way to separate without javing to do anything drastic like move out of the house, but right now kids sleeping in their upstairs bedroom rather than the downstairs one. they know things are bad.

and based on conversations weve had today.. things are gonna be truly over before the end of thre year. splitting assets style. :( wife just told me she misses the man she married :qq: welp oh well back to thinking about prostitution to supplement my income
