Generally a nice quote for Libertarians.

That Gorgon guy also totally disappeared. He was never seen again.

I hope so. He was quite talented and quite young.

Moved to the correct forum.

The ones I miss the most are post Black Isle forums. I miss baley, especially. And metadigital, Llyranor and his alt, Musopticon?( I used to have him on facebook, but I haven't seen him there in years), thepixiesrock, Launch, Schmart. There are also a few that I still see posting on facebook every once in a while.

To repeat myself about Limbaugh : And also: And also: "I'm sorry he's dead. I understand he was suffering." To state that someone is happy that Limbaugh died because they didn't like his radio show is incredibly disingenuous. It's akin to saying that some people were happy Ted Bundy died because they disliked his murder weapons.

Outside interference was already common before 1979, and that interference has directly or indirectly fueled instability in the country. The British and the Russians vied for the region in the 1800s causing 3 wars and massive instability. During most of the 20th century, the USSR was the big political driver in the country, pushing for an implementation of a communist government. The upside was the modernization, and the rejection of extremist religion(all religion, but oh well), the downside was that they were turning Afghanistan into a puppet state that did not reflect the population on the ground. They invaded to "bolster" that government. This was the act that pushed religious extremism to the fore, I'd say, although the US providing military resources to that lot surely did not help. No, the cold war wasn't, technically, colonialism. It was modern imperialism given cover by the Truman doctrine. As per usual. To say that the rise of the Taliban was a direct consequence of USSR action in the country is a gross simplification, given the religious makeup of the region, and ignores the support the US and the Saudis gave the mujahideen. The US should not have acted in the way it did, no. The invasion of Afghanistan was a pretty obvious choice internally, though. It surely did wonders for the GOP's popularity in that period.

Afghanistan is a pretty good example of colonial and geopolitical meddling creating gigantic intractable problems. Its problems didn't start with Biden or Trump, obviously. But they didn't start with Bush Jr, or Reagan, or the Soviets, or Pakistan or the British either, but they all had a hand in making things a little bit worse. Or immensely worse, depending. In any case the current conflict was specifically lost the day the US invaded Afghanistan.

You had a dog for a long time right? A retriever or something?

When was the last time you changed avatar?

How long do you want the run to be though?

This one is pretty stable too.

Some more benchmarking. Stable 60 in these games

It's plainly not true. MLS is still a weak league compared to, say, the top 10 leagues in Europe,at least. It is still very much a retirement league for top players.

People that suggest that are either very dumb or extremely disingenuous.

The technical has been a staple of irregular warfare in North Africa and the Middle East for decades now. Mobility, cheapness, reliability and versatility have made them very useful and a symbol of power, really. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_(vehicle)

https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history Oh, and Black people can support racist people. To suggest otherwise is, you guessed it, racist. Black people aren't some sort of infallible monolith.

That's certainly a convoluted formulation of the black friend defense. Trump is racist he has always been racist. His narcissistic love of celebrity and money may, however, sometimes supersede his racism.

EMS means emergency medical services. Specifically, medical services performed out of hospital. So ambulances and paramedics.

I just watched the latest John Oliver thing, and it managed to surprise me once more. The US is an insane developed country. The subject was EMS in the USA and how terrible it is. Sure. What took me by surprise, though, is that EMS is not considered an essential service in the US. As said, just insane.

So I ran a bit of DMC5 on the card. Average FPS of 80, although the game was mostly at 100 once I disabled V-Sync. 18ms in the 95th percentile. As for temps and airflow, and tested a bit with closed door, open door, fans on low and fans on high. Not much difference. Stable 70-72 degrees, with the gpu at 99% usage the whole time. Of course, I usually play at 60 fps, so this is more than enough.

I haven't checked yet.

It's too much work to open the case so this will have to do.

As per Azdeus' request I'd just like to point out that the Vega 64 Nitro+ he loaned me is huge and unwieldy and I kinda hate it. It covers everything and it is very impractical. The bastard. It runs Control at 55 FPS maxed, at 3440x1440. Horrible. Pictures of a black, closed box incoming.
