Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 is pretty damn good imo.

Sorry, just getting around to replying to this. For me, it just went away after 7 years. I made a big purchase during that time and still got the interest rate for top tier credit.

I guess I’ll be that guy. They’re talking about (and showing a picture of) bison, not buffalo.

Couple things here:

  1. as of now, medical debt doesn’t hit your personal credit like other debt does, which leads me to…
  2. the debt collectors may try to get you to finance the debt, which absolutely WILL impact your credit if you default. Never finance medical debt, it can only hurt you.

This is of course in addition to the other comment that says you need to ask for proof of ownership from the collectors.

I had a about a $100k medical bill that was covered except for a $5k deductible years ago, which I couldn’t pay. It eventually went away.

This is were I learned that xbox controllers don’t use the standard Bluetooth protocol but a proprietary one.

Is there a source for this? I play a few time vampire games on my iPad and use my xbox controller BT paired with it just fine. Haven’t had a single issue in a year or so.

This guy was a constant pain in the ass, but that’s not a fireable offense. Spilling liquids without marking it off or telling anyone in a high traffic tow motor area can kill someone, so that is fireable. Honestly him getting walked out made everyone in the plant immediately safer.

I was working at a chemical plant, and had my tow motor license for about a week. We had these garage doors that stayed closed most of the time to keep everything compartmentalized in case of a fire. I was driving along with a pallet on the forks, and some asshole spilled water and didn’t put up the wet floor sign or even attempt to clean it up.

I hit the brakes, went sideways, and absolutely destroyed the bottom 3 panels on this garage door. The bags on the skid I was carrying ripped open and made a huge mess, but thankfully what I was carrying didn’t react to water. My manager went back and looked at the tape recording and found the guy who did it. Then he made him clean up the mess I made, and fired him when he was done. The whole thing was scary as hell.

Sledder also shares that over his lifetime, he has driven and sold over 40 exotic cars, and the Cybertruck is the one vehicle he is having the most trouble finding buyers for.

Not sure why he’s mentioning exotic cars and Cybertrucks in the same sentence. Anyways, he was a sucker the moment he paid the extra $20k or whatever for the Foundation Series. He was never getting that back.

Had to dig back a bit, but I found the cat reference. Merry Christmas!

Ceramic tile is tough as hell and cleans easily.

I don’t mean to oversimplify, but it’s late and I’m tired. People seem to love their guns more than their children across a large swath of this country, so I guess we find out when we find out.

My first thought is that a safe full of guns won’t protect you from a hellfire missile coming through the front door. My second thought is that rural America will collectively lose their shit if Trump comes for their guns to soften up the populace for whatever follows. Then again he also might deputize a bunch of jackboots, which almost seems guaranteed at this point.

Who’s to say what happens next.

So currently I’m running a 5800x and a regular 2060. I’ve got a 650w gold PSU that’s about 4 years old, no problems with it at all. I’m thinking about upgrading to a RX 7800 XT because GeForce prices are perpetually absurd. It seems like it would be enough power, but the few things I’ve read say that I need at least a 750w if I go with the AMD (because they’re power hungry?), but 650w would be fine for a 4070ti. If I have to buy a new PSU, I feel like it would wipe out any savings I might get by buying AMD over Nvidia. How can I definitively know if I need more power?

Full disclosure, I understand the concept of undervolting, but I’m not nearly confident enough to mess with the settings.
