    Westworld

    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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Wait. I see a dangling 2 pin connector connected to the 6 pin. What else could it be for.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Welcome to 4 years ago console people. It's great innit.
  10. He's running for president, if he can't handle a reporter without looking like a special needs case he's in trouble.
  11. So yeah, Monitor is absolutely gorgeous. Doesn't scale well though. Gonna get a 1070.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. And me
  15. 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.
  16. Well alright.
  17. 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.
  18. If I stay with 4k and a 60hz screen for a long time, which is likely (I might get a 144 hz monotor for gaming but that will just be HD) I won't gain anything more once I have a stable 60 fps. Does the 1080 make sense in that context. Maybe 1070 SLI and I get the second card when it has dropped in price.
  19. It's a pipleline. You gotta learn to pick your battles.
  20. James Cameron. You gotta find their tree. These people live in trees, then send in a desillusioned former marine in disguised as 1/24th Navajo.
  21. whats remastered about it ? I thought it was just the 'mods for consoles' version.
  22. I'm not sure if that's because the movie is from before people obsessed about showing brands. I mean the Snow cat has Catarpillar written on it, but did they get a check for that. I doubt it.
  23. When you say 'high' settings how close is that to a stable 60fps.
  24. And now I feel sick. Toked on that thing a bit too heavily I guess.
  25. In an attempt to prolong life I have joined the ranks of the vapers. I will be observed in quarentIne in an interim period for possible personality changes.
