  1. So much for "draining the swamp".
  2. I remember about 13 years ago my class met Mona Salin, a Swedish politician and then minister of environmental affairs, at my school. She was there to rally young voters and get us to vote in the coming elevtion. She held a speech to us, and then we were allowed to ask questions to her, and I've never had so little information being dispensed in an auditorium. She did'nt manage to answer any of the questions that we asked her, granted we'd had one day to prepare ourselves, but I think that she should've been able to answer us in some shape or form, why Sweden was exporting nuclear power and importing coal power. A thoroughly unimpressive person. I think she lost any prospective voter in that room, and the next election was won by their main rivals. Also, on a completely unrelated note; I managed to braid my beard. \o/
  3. Hope you get better soon GD. I'm going from 50% sick leave to 100% again after working last week. Doing nothing but heavy manual labour isn't exactly doing my back any good, either it's pushing or pulling, or it's lifting from the floor. Even when I lift the right way I get pulses of pain, and there is always alot of twisting and turning wich exacerbates the pain.
  4. Ah,well all the ones I've looked at they list compatibility with essentially all sockets. AM2/3 to Intels 1151 and whatnot, it's been a few years since I had socket variations 100% down. Overclockings is probably something I will have to go for, wether I like it or not. But my 7 or so year old stock AMD cooler is'nt up to muster for that. ^^
  5. Those kits look interesting, don't think my local supplier has those models available, but I'll have to consider them anyway. If shipping is'nt going to cost me a fortune atleast. That NHD-15 is huge. Since I live in an old house with wooden floorboards, the flexing in the floor when I walk around would be a concern. It's one of the reasons why I'm looking at water cooled options. Since I'm going for a different socket, I can't upgrade the CPU, more RAM is'nt going to help, and my GPU (Radeon HD7950) is already strangled by my processor (An Phenom II X4 955 BE). I intend to use the cooling for my new computer anyway, so it's not any real loss, but I should gain some performance in the mean time from getting any increased performance from just being able to fully utilize my CPU or overclocking it. I would probably exchange the fans if that were the case, all I've looked at so far have had the possibility of changing them. What would those headaches be? Besides changing the fluids.
  6. Anyone here that has any experience with watercooling kits that you can buy? The small ones focused on just processor cooling that comes in closed kits. (Corsair Hydro, be quiet!, Coolermaster Neptune et.c.) Are they worth the money, or should one buy a builder kit instead? How noisy do they turn out to be in real life terms? I've got no experience with either of those systems, but I can't afford to upgrade my computer at the moment and I need to get some better cooling for my old processor.
  7. "Money, money, money. Always sunny. In the rich man's world." Interesting to see what you can get away with with enough money. I wonder when they will start The Great Ghost Dance?
  8. I do have problems with dry skin aswell, I get sort of dry rash on my knuckles. But yeah, T-shirt and shorts. It's still above freezing! I'll admit I'm spurred a bit by all the weird looks the somalis at my workplace give me! ^^ You must live further north than I though, it was 9+ when I went to work and 2+ when I went home.
  9. The one thing I can't complain about is the darkness, atleast I'm not sweating. Still wearing T-shirt and shorts to work. ^^
  10. I don't know if it was relevant for the prosecutor to get any footage of him, and if it was, she'd not be able to share them in any case. I don't disagree with you that the world, and US, is in a sad state of affairs. I would'nt doubt that the US would try any dirty trick to get him. I saw an interview that was made with Assange earlier this year, I think it was, and he was pretty off it. He demanded a break every 10 minutes and other things, wich is understandable. He's probably climbing the walls in there. He had an Ecuadorian lawyer with him, wich is appalling. The Ecuadorian lawyer does'nt have any knowledge as to what the laws are in Sweden. I reckon that the interview and any possible information the prosecutor got form there could be invalidated by that. Wich would make this mess drag out even longer. I just hope they drop the case.
  11. I'm glad to hear you're relatively okay Grom, was it a bicycle or motorcycle you rode?
  12. I don't believe that Denuvo is a DRM, it's a Chinese conspiracy to stifle consumers.
  13. My back is killing me. Working is definetly not helping, some of my exercises are helping, but not as much as I'd like. Hoping to get more extension on the sickleave tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to monday, they've already called in people for an extra shift on Sunday, something wich I'm not allowed to accept; Even though I badly need that extra cash. I expect Monday will involve alot of overtime if nothing else.
  14. About that wikileaks video, he was interviewed by the prosecutor for two days. I can't get more details because it's behind a paywall. http://www.svd.se/annu-en-dags-forhor-med-assange http://www.gp.se/nyheter/sverige/f%C3%B6rh%C3%B6ret-med-assange-avslutat-1.3958932 <--- No paywall, atleast not for me.
  15. Going to start working at 50% today, not too confident to be honest.
  16. Yeah, I saw the original pretty recently. I imagine he only became president because the frosty relations with Russia was making it harder for him to find new wives.
  17. I listened to the last episode earlier, was a bit clearer sound, and you did'nt talk over each other. Was much easier to listen to it, also; --- Watched a documentary about HBTQ people in Russia, and damn if my blood isn't boiling. I've never felt such contempt for people. Luring people into apartments with 13 guys that want to kill and beat up a gay man for looking for a partner, humiliating him and filming it, not to mention publicly outing him and trying to get him fired from his job and ostracizing him from his family. Fueled by ignorance and probably jealousy, these asshats enrage me just as much as IS and Boko Haram. Except they're a bit worse, their ignorance is willful, they might be illiterate nitwits though. Or it might just be their own way of meeting "men", repressed ****s as they probably are. Good thing is, I'm not as worried about Russians anymore, they need 13 men to frighten one sole man, afterall. Bring it I say.
  18. Tried to get my car fixed again, we were worried that the head gasket might be broken, since my coolant fluid was brown rather than water coloured or blue. Turned out that was'nt the case, so we just rinsed the engine a few times. The guy who owned the garage had a son who was ill though, so we had to quit early, meaning there's still air in my clutch system.
  19. My cat felt I was too thin, left me a gift next to my bed (Thankfully not in it), a headless mouse. He's been very cuddly since then Also got my sickleave extended until monday, then I'm back to work. Going to suck donkeyballs, but I hope I manage. My wage this month is going to be depressing. Though my physiotherapist is... awful cute. So there's some upside to this!
  20. 2.5 Million lightyears in 400 years? Or what was it? Atleast the Mass Relay lore limited FTL travel, it still took a while for them to travel from what I recall.
  21. The Leclerc is actually a very solid tank as well. Between its state-of-the-art electronics package, "hyperbar" engine, and GALIX multi-spectral protection system it's a tough nut to crack. Really? Leopard, fierce, vicious predator with many, many, many sharp teeth; LeClerc;
  22. "which will be staffed by a gender expert and a group of feminist politicians, comedians and scientists, is “about equality”." Unionen does have alot of humour surrounding their union, I suspect this is a lighthearted thing. Atleast that's what the radio commercial that I heard sounded like, it did'nt sound serious for one bit. I thought about telling you people about it as a "funny thing", but thought it was too much effort to translate it and such.
  23. I can see it there on their channel, but it's been blocked for Sweden for some reason.
  24. I occasionally donate to HRF, an organization for the hearingimpaired, since I am one myself. I also donate to Hjärnfonden("brainfund"), a fund for research on different brain centered diseases. I don't donate to beggars and similar on the streets though, in Sweden you do get money from Social services if you need it - while it's not a whole lot of money they will pay for a flat and connected expenses so I don't feel the need for it. My grandmother used to train dogs to be used for guide dogs and bomb and drug searching aswell, I'd have liked to do the same, but I don't have the skills that she had so...
