  1. yeah, not sure i would drop $1K on it. i got mine heavily discounted for ~$150, and you do give up some real estate vs 3 monitors.. I like that i can hook my work laptop in through one HDMI port and my home comp in through another and don't have to mess with driving the video through my switcher. also less power cables, hdmi cables etc..
  2. Wait, Texas wants to tack on a more stringent bill than current Federal law? But i thought that was bad and what the last shitty bill hot wheels signed was supposed to combat, but at a state level. You know the one where big cities could not enact policies (like mandated water breaks, min wage, time off etc...) that went above the state statute. fucking hypocrites.
  3. is there even a legacy component to UT admissions? you have to figure that somewhere in the admissions bureaucracy there is a detailed specification on how to admit students using certain criteria. just curious if 'legacy' is part of that or is it more like the part where admissions checks to see if any buildings are named after the applicant's progenitors before making a final decision.
  4. Awesome! I am dead set on going next year
  5. Good to know and appreciate the Intel. Should be perfect for us
  6. i've been pretty much out of the game for quite some time, but if you minted those, you could have sold for a profit a short time later. i was actually kinda surprised at that and thought they would flop.
  7. lulz, that's kinda how came into mine (JLC not a patek). wore a GShock before that i still wear when doing stuff outside. love that it gets the ULF signal from the atomic clock in NORAD (i think?) every day to keep exact time.
  8. i think you already have your monitors, but if not you might consider one these it's about like having 2.5 monitors and you only need one connection.
  9. about as long as it takes for the stupid fucking politicians to finish turning our government into a theocracy.
  10. heading out there labor day weekend. playing golf for the first time in the area and landed on Bali Hai since it's really close to the Aria where i am staying. Any thoughts on that place? Guys I am playing with are hackers so did not want to go someplace too fancy or stuffy. Just want to have good time. Any other tracks around there fit that bill? Aria had a pretty good deal for 3 nights for $240 all in (plus $100 in credit).
  11. norm is like the movie speed. if he slows down or stops talking about the probowl he will die
  12. might as well go ahead and charge the dad with manslaughter or something. who leaves a loaded (maybe even cocked) pistol on the nightstand at all times? Are these people so fucking scared of a home invasion that they are inviting a much more likely tragedy into their house. Not sure how a father would recover from knowing that his stupidity/negligence/fear murdered his wife and unborn kid.
  13. yeah, their website says nothing about actually providing money, resources or tangible aid to the veterans' families. "Our goal with this organization is not only to keep our troops & their families' names remembered forever, but to continue showing love & appreciation for our military & all of the brave men & women who serve this amazing country" just to keep people remembered. so that probably entails taking donations to keep the servers running on the website and directing traffic to her clothing line.
  14. so you don't need 50 subscriptions to Vibe? are these guys just hanging out after being told no?
  15. thank God Abbott signed the drag queen bill. maybe that will help with all these queens churchy folk raping minors.
  16. P. Manning was drinking a bud light at the Tenn. CWS game and it was caught on camera and people were losing their minds. at least per a Twitter post i saw.
  17. has to be satire, right?
  18. not gonna lie. kinda want to try this adrenochrome now
  19. obvious answer is obvious https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/04/10/kid-rock-cruise/
  20. it's not really how mfg works. not that China has the greatest qual control, but you mfg stuff in batches (lots) and run qc on those lots to make sure something is not majorly fucked up that continues to affect multiple/all lots. you need ways to ID all the lots to track if/where changes in the mfg process took place. I guess they could add a separate line to scrub the SN or lot ID (which usually has date info) but then, you really need to be able to ID which lot is which at the end user in case you realize a fuckup after your product has shipped. Oftentimes you can fix on-site but you need a way for the end customer to be able to ID the affected lots so they can be quarantined awaiting a solution. that and they don't care. at all.
  21. i trend to be apathetic on most things. I cannot imagine getting so riled up over a promotional beer can or what clothes Target is selling or what flag or bumper sticker people are presenting to the world. But yes, living life triggered 24/7 seems awful. the absolute worst. I just yell at other drivers with the windows up like normal people.
  22. literally the memory i was channeling writing the post
  23. kinda surprised that we don't just have college interns droning behind the highlights at this point. when you can instantly click to find your specific team's highlights or a 7-minute youtube recap of the game what use do you have for waiting out an hour-long show? Granted, i will turn on SC in the background as background noise when reading or something, but i can't believe they would still have any high-priced talent for the actual SC show (outside of SVP).
  24. this is why we cannot grift nice things just leave us alone to pump and dump as we please. wtf is it to the US gov really? We know they don't give an eff about the consumer.
