  1. Without the social discord brought on my economic crisis the Veimar republic could have been a success ?
  2. Had a look at the event logger ?. Nevermind, that's not going be useful

    They built a western set, I think were pretty much stuck with it. In order to justify the cost.

    That's the trouble with a complicated plot, after a while it starts to be a chore and you get episodes that depart from the plot altogether. Lost, Battlestar reboot and so on.
  5. Well, the only reason people are talking about it is that the Donald doesn't lose, so he's preparing an excuse. For when he didn't lose because it was rigged. Hey maybe being a bad loser will at least ruin his political career like it did for Al Gore.

  7. So has Hillary won because of the electoral college and people, media, are still talking about it because well, they want a good show on election night. Is that about it.
  8. I dunno, considering the narrow margin and the hangover phenomenon, simply put that if the referendum had been held again a week after it would likely have been for 'remain'.

    It's disappointing for an HBO show I think, the western thing is wearing thin, Except Anthony Hopkins. I love it when an old dog can outact everyone else like that. The other old dog, Ed Harris, is doing less well so far IMO.
  10. The medical service providers aren't selling to the end users, their main concern is simply that the drug or treatment is approved by insurance companies. If the end users could bargain collectively they would get a better deal.
  11. The pharmaceutical industry has you by the balls. The governement needs to be able to collectively bargain for drug purchases. Doctors have to be forced to inform patients if there is a cheaper just as good alternative. Medical insurance is the reason why medical services cost more in the US than practically anywhere else in the world. It's why executive douchebags can raise AIDS medication and EPI pens by 1000%. They even admit it themselves. The more you can cut out the profit incentive the closer you get to producing medical services at their actual cost.
  12. Wait. I see a dangling 2 pin connector connected to the 6 pin. What else could it be for.
  13. So. Don't actually have a spare 12v 8 pin connector. The one I thought was one says 'cpu' and is, something else. Good thing it didn't go in or I would have fried everything.
  14. I wonder what the point of the anti static bits of plastic wristband in the package is. You would want to ground yourself, by touching the ratiator for instance, before installation, not rely on bit of plastic.
  15. mmm Maybe it's me and I'm generating the static with my chair which rolls around on a small bit of carpet. It's stopped now anyway and I didn't do anything.
  16. Since using the new monitor with displayport I discovered that I get a sharp static shock when I touch the computer cabinet and the radiator at the same time, it builds up instantly too. If I lift my finger from the case after the charge has dissipated and put it down again I get another one. a frequent occurence since I like to rest my feet on the radiator. I noticed that the power cord for the monitor doesn't have the usual three prongs where one is earth I think. Not really sure if that relevant for static and whether that even works with Danish power fittings and in any case shouldn't I be using the power cable that came with the monitor. I have extra three pronged ones though. I'm about to change out both my gfx for the new 1070, the displayport cable for a shorter one which also came with the monitor and the power cord. Really hope that makes a difference.
  17. Welcome to 4 years ago console people. It's great innit.
  18. He's running for president, if he can't handle a reporter without looking like a special needs case he's in trouble.
  19. So yeah, Monitor is absolutely gorgeous. Doesn't scale well though. Gonna get a 1070.
  20. I've had youtube videos go, as in the media window disappears, after a video post has been up a while. Then I viewed the same topic on another computer where I wasn't logged in and it would be there. Odd. Or maybe just a fluke.
  21. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDlYhEWwM1A Maybe a youtube setting ?. They want you to go to youtube rather than watch it in a window. If you use the link function in the control panel it should still work, but with no media window.
  22. And me
  23. The Cops are not doing a bang up job on the PR side that's pretty clear. Heavy handed tactics and so on. On the other hand there is an element of romanticism being tapped here that is not really relevant. This is not wounded knee. There is not necessarily a clear line from this to every injustice suffered by native Americans.
  24. Well alright.
  25. It seems a bit far fetched that a pipeline should 'threaten the water supply'. I'm going to go ahead and assume that they know how to build one that doesn't leak. There have been pipelines under the great lakes since 1950s. Those are the main open water reservoirs in the US.
