  1. Start from the PCMasterRace builds (a reddit community for PCs, basically the build bible). Linky - https://www.reddit.com/r/pcmasterrace/wiki/builds. You really can't screw it up as long as you make sure the mobo matches the proc, and the memory plays well with the proc. Both situations are easily google-able. I'm re-using three Crucial SSDs that I already have. Will probably add an M.2 NVMe SSD in the future to really streamline things, but don't need it right now.
  2. There was a thread on the old site, but haven't seen one here. My current build is getting onto about 6 years old, and it's loud and big and frankly, ugly :). Plus, I don't need things like spinning hard drives, and 5 PCIe slots anymore. So I'm putting together a miniITX build and shooting for silent operation under normal workloads. Just pulled the trigger on the following: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 ASrock Fata1ity B450 AM4 Mobo (4x SATA3, USBa+c, 802.11ac, BT4+) G.Skill Ripjaws PC4 24000 (3000mhz) DDR4 RAM - 16GB Noctua L9x65 CPU cooler (known to be basically silent) Corsair RM750x PSU (fan doesn't run <40% load) Powercolor RX570 4GB GPU Cooler Master Elite 130 case Should be smaller, quieter, and cleaner vs. my current build (i5 + R7300 + ATX form factor). What about you? Any other nerds out there?
  3. The bourbon craze is really pissing me off. I can't find ANYTHING fun these days. Haven't seen Eagle Rare on the shelves in months, no EH Taylor Single Barrel, and certainly no chance of getting something like Blantons or W12. I'm also not interested in spending $200 for Kentucky Owl or the like ...
  4. Wait, are BrisketTexan, chitwood, and CTJ all in Montreal right now?
  5. God the horseshoe was such a badass setting. I am very comfortable saying it's the best college football atmosphere I've ever been a part of. I'll echo everything Dennis said above ... fans in Columbus were such a fucking stereotype. I remember getting a double bird from a 13 year old girl after the game. We legit had a cop tell us to "just stay quiet and keep walking" after the game, and we weren't talking any shit at all. We had a totally ridiculously drunk tOSU fan throw up on himself, pass out, and get kicked out of the stadium before halftime. While I admire his commitment to the Buckeye concept, fucker missed half of a football game. He was an ass, tho, so we enjoyed it. Plus, Vince to Limas. I wasn't sure at that point that we'd beat USC, but I was 100% certain that we'd be at the Rose Bowl. Fuck what a game.
  6. Joel Klatt just got a headache again, from us watching this video.

    If we're picking sons, does Gardere have any? What about Morenz?
  8. Best day out there is Tuesday. Find someone you know from Dell and get tix.
  9. it it's not deGrom, it's Yelich.
  10. There's a "strength of field" rule that got put in maybe 5, 6 years ago. I don't remember the exact details (and too lazy to google right now), but basically the exempt players still have to play a given tournament like, once every four years. Otherwise, the big name players would do exactly what you suggest here, and never show up until Feb 1st, and even during the season places like the John Deere would get largely ignored. The rule boils down to the idea that a strong tour is good for everyone, but for the strength of the tour the names have to show up or a quarter of the tournament sites can't make any money.
  11. Isn't that the truth. I'm looking forward to seeing some of the younger guys from the web finals get some run. Always interesting to see who's able to take advantage while the big guns take some time off - Aaron Wise, Beau Hosseler last year, for example. Schauffle. Others. I'm a golf junkie, I'll be watching.
  12. Christ, how much fucking Neil Young did you rock?
  13. We have literally three full cycles of historical data to prove this out. No one out competes Intel, especially after a downtown (and especially one that's self-inflicted). That's not to say that AMD makes bad product, they're just not the giant killers that people think they are. Take your profits now, and buy Intel.
  14. It's still a fun time, mostly for nostalgia's sake. And it's one of the few places you can still find a $5 table, so worth it on that front.
  15. Lurch, you just made me insanely jealous. Great pics, I really wish I could have gone back this year. How did you play 16 on Red? What a great par 3 (and a great pic you took of it). What about 9, the short uphill par 4?
  16. Is Tiger really 11th on the list by points? Only playing this year? That's fucking insane.
  17. damn. I wouldn't have won this year. Fucking opening 81 :). Red is far superior.
  18. really need Phil and Xander to have good weeks in St. Louis. Get Webb and Dechambreaux off my squad.
  19. Yes, and drink service is still lightning fast. Unfortunately, the CR is trying to rebrand itself. They took out the craps tables by the front door and put in a shitty sports bar, and reduced to one craps table towards the back. No more $3 minimum. No more 100x odds. Just one regular old 3-4-5 table. Sad.
  20. I'm all in on Kisner getting an auto qualify spot. Love that guy.
  21. Well, you can add that I don't like Bryson because he's a terrible fucking loser and acts like a gigantic titty-baby when his game isn't going well.
  22. When I got my Aqua Terra last year, my interest in owning any other watches just completely vanished. I guess that means I purchased well? Still love this fucking thread ... Anyone want to buy a Sinn EZM3? I need to get off my ass and get it listed somewhere. Just sitting in a drawer, and I'm never going to wear it.
  23. On the tiny house idea ... had some friends trying to make that work here just outside of Austin. The permitting is potentially a NIGHTMARE depending on local building regs. Austin has some stupid shit like minimum sizes for dwellings, and the floor is bigger than you think. Also, ADA compliance on a tiny house is very difficult, and Austin construction regs now REQUIRE things like sidewalks and ramps to front doors on new construction. Political opinions aside, it's really driving up the cost of construction, and since the unit cost of a tiny house is so much smaller, the impact is more obvious. Plus zoning laws for land usage, although I think they were looking closer to Bastrop so that wasnt as bad as it could have been.
