Walsingham Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 In other news, all this coughing is doing my abs surprising good. Always a bright side, eh? Maybe, but my aunt broke a rip from coughing too much, and thats not a joke. As you can probably imagine that didn't help with the breathing problems. Actually I know almost exactly how bad that is. You recall that I cracked my sternum open a few years back and promptly got food poisoning and was throwing up and simultaneously passing out from the pain. Good times. This isn't that bad, by any means. Most interestingly it really does seem to be worse at night, even though I'm awake rather than sleeping. "It wasn't lies.

Walsingham Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Update: hugely amused to misread the following from the NHS website: Less commonly, symptoms of pneumonia can include: coughing up blood (haemoptysis)... pain in your joints and muscles feeling confused and disorientated, particularly near elderly people Should have read "in elderly people" 2 "It wasn't lies.

ManifestedISO Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 What the **** is the point of a coat that is only at its best in all weathers if you have £2000 to throw around? You're not going to be standing around in all weather, now are you? I don't know about you, but having to snip Irish pennants constantly from every garment becomes dreadfully bourgeois. Hope you mend soon. All Stop. On Screen.
Sarex Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 (edited) Then you must be the only one, there has always been constant nagging whenever I posted a pic. Or is the complete harmony in there getting boring? Anyway, NZXT Phantom, white Intel i7 5820k, 6x 3,3GHZ MB MSI X99 Gaming 9AC (EATX) 2x 8GB DDR4 2400 GeForce MSI Gaming GTX 970 SSD 120 GB Samsung HDD 500GB Caviar Green 750W Be Quiet Windows 8.1 64 (I have NO idea if W8 is any good, I just went with the flow) Blu Ray drive, card reader, tons of fans etc I think the PSU is a little overkill and a 650W would have been sufficient but I like having not to worry about power. The possibility of PSU's being a performance bottleneck makes me paranoid. And yes, I know, DDR4 is absolutely not necessary and I should have taken 32GB's of DDR3 instead. It's always good to have variety. That CPU+MB is not backward compatible as far as RAMS go, so you couldn't have gone for DDR3 even if you wanted to.

BruceVC Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I'm planning on building a high performance PC so I just ordered all the parts. Unfortunately I had to do some cost cutting and went with a 126GB Samsung SSD. And now I'm going to do 5 sets of 6 reps of 110kg power cleans. I need to improve my Olympic lifts a little bit. Yeah welcome back Woldan How have you been with the whole depression episode that you were experiencing? 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

LadyCrimson Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I still can't justify building a new rig. I wouldn't mind a gtx 970 or whatever, tho. I should probably get one of those soonish. But I have a feeling I'm going to remain pretty "meh, no thanx" re: high-requirement AAA titles for quite a while longer. The past couple weeks I've felt like I can't drink enough water/stay hydrated. Multiple glasses all day of course, even drink a huge glass of water before bed and still wake up feeling like sand. Maybe it's winter. “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 How have you been with the whole depression episode that you were experiencing?Its still there and I'm feeling like utter crap, the fun thing is given time I can really get used to anything.

Guard Dog Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 Guess what? I'm in the whiskey business now! Sort of.... I joined an investment group to buy a minority stake in Short Mountain Distillery over in Woodbury. Usually I support whiskey makers the old fashion way... drink a lot of their products. Now I'm trying a new way to go. Usually small start ups with limited capital don't make sound investments but in this case it's family owned and family run and their overhead is pretty low and I love their marketing. Now I guess I should try a bottle of their hootch and see what we see. 3 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell

Guard Dog Posted November 25, 2014 Posted November 25, 2014 I was a little bummed to see he wasn't brewing it himself. That is still illegal... more is the pity! But I do live in an isolated, wooded area with good soil, a freshwater stream on my property and plenty of expertise on growing corn and basic chemistry. I could do it if I were so inclined.

Looks like they're still in the white-lightning phase of a start-up distillery (i.e., whiskey not yet ready, but selling moonshine or similar un-aged liquor). Let us know when they've got a batch of bourbon ready for market and I'll give it a try if they distribute in my area.
