Re: ‘Order! Order!’: Parliament Speaker Is Brexit’s Surprise Star and Villain

Brexit is completely nuts. I've been following it pretty closely for at least 18 months. I have learned a ton about international trade and about the british system of ogvernment (or lack thereof). Imagine california leaving the USA and saying that it will be simple to do trade deals with the rest o...

Re: Fireball at illegal Mexico pipeline tap kills 66; 85 missing

I saw some vids of people RUNNING TOWARDS THE PLUME FROM THE PIPELINE with their gas cans in hand. WTF! Glad our economy is a least a little better than that.

Re: Neck pain

signs of really getting old. I had acid reflux which started last fall - took the antacids, kept getting worse, I was busy doing stuff for my wife who had recent back surgery and was just waiting for it to get better. Long story short, my regular gp was useless, had to change doctors, he got me in t...

Re: do you even shop at sears ?

I used to buy small apliances there. Out in the boonies there were few choices. I've got a dehumidifier in the basement that is pushing 10 years. But they were downhill for years - no stock, no staff. The guy who is going to "rescue them" this time is the same guy who wrecked it in the fir...

Re: Bank friendly gaming tower

Not up on the modern cpus but a few ideas. 1) take a look at top vent cases - my last builds had big fans at the top and it seems make a difference. Tou can ususally find a very good case for about $60, esp if it doen't have the friggin' LEDs. 2) What FP said about memory. I generally buy last gen s...

Re: Oregon Unconstitutionally Fined a Man $500 for Saying ‘I am an Engineer,’ Federal Judge Rules

This is really and old trick to bar unwelcome opinions from people "outside the establishment" i.e. licensed in that state. Don't know if it is still the case, but in places like SC if you brought in a doctor "from somewhere else" to testify as an expert witness in a case , they ...

Re: Heads Up - they are dumping nv 1070 and 1070 TI

FP - yeppers a 1070 TI - they are close to a 1080 psypher - around 500 +- the prices are still variable. It's actually overkill gaming wise for her but she runs dual monitors and keeps a lot of stuff open on the off monitor. so 8gb is a good upgrade it's older tech, and the 2060 may be faster, but i...
