Overnight Open Thread (17 Feb 2017)

It's about time. It's a bloodbath at the State Department. Many other government agencies need a culling too. Like maybe the EPA?

Book Police

Book publishers hiring 'sensitivity readers' to weed out offensive content. Newsflash to publishers, everything is offensive to someone. Heck, some people even find the Constitution offensive.

Wisconsin

Wisconsin students group demands free tuition for black students. Why stop there? Just make everything free for everyone. Idiots.

Andre Antunes

Shame Culture

Bookworm: I refuse to accept the Left's despicable shame culture. Now if we can get the GOP to follow along.

Digital Playroom

Digital playroom installation turns flat surfaces into interactive multi-touch areas for play. Man, this would be so cool.

Digital Profile

This tool reveals how Facebook's AI tracks and studies your activity. I'll take the article's word for it. I ain't adding this extension and opening up another crack in my digital security. I really need to kill my FB account as I don't do much with it and has mostly fake stuff in it.

A supervisor who I'm friends with at my horrible part time job at the NBA arena recently went through "diversity training." I said, "so, if I tell you I feel I'm being discriminated against because I'm a black man who is not allowed to be a forklift driver, will you let me be a forklift driver?"

[anecdote: white woman here]

He answered something like "well, we would have to have a meeting to talk about your concerns and see what could be done about the situation."

We both rolled our eyes. He's a conservative, and the diversity training was horrific.

50 Former Secretary of State John Kerry has not ruled out running for president again in 2020, according to a new interview.

The 2004 Democratic presidential nominee, who lost to George W. Bush, is suggesting he could be up for potentially running against President Trump.

"I haven't been thinking about it or talking about it," Kerry told the New York Times before adding, "I haven't ruled anything in or anything out."

In December, Kerry also said he had thought "for a minute or two" about jumping into the action.

Back in the day, before I realized I was a Conservative, I had a co-worker who was the local NABET president.

One day we were having a conversation, and he admitted that he thought the government should provide every person with a house and a job at a good wage for life.

I later reiterated the conversation to my Mom who said "That's communism. He's a communist."

And she was right.

McInsane pretends to be a Conservative and fools LIVS. The left knows he's one of theirs and vote for him. Our retirement community people see a fellow grey hair and vote for him for that reason alone.

Lastly, he has built quite the political machine to grease the wheels for his re-election.

I just now remembered another part of our conversation where he told me that American slavery was worse than the Holocaust because "Jews landed on their feet a lot better than blacks did. They rule the world."

98 RE: shame article... Judeo-Christian societies are guilt cultures. Muslim societies are shame based.

Found this explanation:

"in shame cultures the emphasis is on how others see me after I've done something wrong (or even if I didn't but they think I do), while as a member of a guilt culture the focus is on the fact that I did something wrong, regardless of whether others know or not (and if they think I did but I didn't, I'll protest my innocence!).

In other words, the left is turning into a shame culture, and away from the Judge-Christian culture. Which makes sense, since many leftists don't believe in God.

went to the toy store this afternoon, in the Fing pouring rain no less, and paid of my Italian Arisaka... it comes home on the 28th, because i don't want to be in Valencia after 3PM, trying to get back into The Valley at rush hour. WOOT.

stopped at the other toy store, where they had the Carl Gustav for examination, and the upper of Resident Evil's PTR-91, which we need to render featureless this year, along with a few others.

i brought them home as they can't do anything about the rust on the front sight of the CG, and have no $$ for a muzzle break this week, and thy needed the room in their storage, as it's filling up with featureless builds for other customers.

all in all, time well spent, but the drive home on surface streets from the north of The Valley to the southside was more than a little wild.

unexpectedly, when i looked in the LA river when i crossed it, it was only a few feet from the top of the channel.

yup: it's been raining like a mongolian rat bastard all afternoon long.

what they don't tell you is that there is absolutely NO way to do that with 99.9999% of females.

Sometimes its pride in what you do. I'm an insane perfectionist in what I do, be it guitar building, the music, or the Harleys. But that's also rooted in a lesson from murphy's law where there is never time to do it right, but there is always time to do it over. I hate doing shit a second time.

For me its a personal voyage, I don't expect perfection from anybody else, except for maybe band members and doctors. lol

Posted by: Infidel at February 17, 2017 10:31 PM (ByNzS)

I did some surveying across southern Wyoming after college one winter along the Union Pacific RR lines. The rails truly sing as the train races over them. It is a beautiful sound.

It was amazing to watch the trains in the distance coming towards you. All you could see was a rolling white cloud until it was upon you. Then out of the cloud burst the roaring engines and cars. The rails bounced on the track ballast singing metal on metal. After it roared past the tailwind of snow buried you hiding the train once more.

Got to see this hundreds of times that winter.

Reading the Birth Order Book helped me see that I was a perfectionist who had given up and couldn't accomplish anything because I knew it would be imperfect. Learning that (and knowing that I *was* loved by those near me) made it easier to put in the effort to finish projects and accept if they weren't what I had hoped. If I wasn't confident in the affection of my family I suspect it would have been much harder to accept the the imperfection.

One night a week or so ago, when we wandered off into music, I was reminded of 'Fisherman's Blues' by the Waterboys, nice tune. Excerpt:

I wish I was the brakeman
On a hurtling fevered train

Crashing head long into the heartland
Like a cannon in the rain
With the feeling of the sleepers
And the burning of the coal

Counting the towns flashing by
And a night that's full of soul
With light in my head
With you in my arms..

yeah very true really, they seemed to have gotten really dumb over the years. I will say though, I had a good experience yesterday. I was on a plane last week, and when I landed my sinuses were totally messed up. I never get sick, don't get the flu, no flu shots, no allergies, very very rarelt get a cold. Shit goes around and I never get it.

Well in the beginning of this week I started get that swollen gland on the right side of the neck, was getting painful to swallow, and by Wednesday night it was getting hard to breath because my throat was closing up, to where when I went to sleep I was up every 5 minutes gasping for air. The family doctor moved, so I didn't know what to do. They built a few of these walk in clinics in the area, so first thing yesterday morning I went. The place looked real nice, on the ball, the doc took me in looked at me, checked a few things, said yup I know what it is, gave me a shot and said the swelling would be gone by the end of the day, and gave me a prescription.

man no shit, 2 hours later it was already down, and by 6:00 it was like it never happened. I was in and out in less than an hour. I was totally impressed.

Man let me tell you. I talked to at least a dozen people about that place since yesterday and they're getting really popular. They seemed to be equipped to handle a vast amount of stuff people normally would go to the emergency room for. One person thought they broke their finger and went there. They fixed him up in a splint, told him what he actually did, and he was out the door in under an hour. He said it was great not to sit in an emergency room for hours and hours waiting and getting hit with that huge bill. Another person said its like those places are popping up to take a load off the emergency rooms.

My experience was amazing. As soon as I got home I got a call from one of the Harley shops down the street that wanted me to come in for a quick fix on something. They call me when they get strange things, and this one was fixing some weird LED problem that needed soldering on the circuit board. I said yeah not today, I just got back from the docs I'm all fucked up. An hour later I felt fine and went to the shop anyway. I mean shit, from feeling like death to fine in that amount of time. That was a miracle.

Perfectionists and control freak women hate sex. It is an out ward sign that they are frigid and do not want a physical relationship.

The messiness and lack of control , plus actually opening themselves up physically to another person is terrifying and sickening to them.

Daddy and Mommy likely fucked this one up royally long before you got there. Marrying them will insure that every day of your life you will put your feet down on the floor of hell , battling for some sense of normalcy while maintaining a fantasy that you will ever have a normal sexual relationship with this woman just to get tthrough the days and finding hope an solace in your children and being a single source of positivity in their lives. You are a walking wallet and a large piece of jewelry that she keeps around for appearances.

Unless you're looking to see if there is anything good on there, don't bother. Otherwise, pull the drive and connect it to another machine. USB devices for this purpose are less than $10 now. They're handy to have around but in this case you can probably just go directly to the Linux install.

A P4 with Vista is somewhat odd as none shipped that way and that means they had to think it was worth the cost and effort to put it on a machine that was already a bit elderly when Vista launched. I would have recommended against it on the likelihood that the machine lacked the resources to run Vista well.

I long had a rule that if a machine was more than two years old when a new OS version launched, it almost certainly wasn't worth upgrading, unless the machine was very high end for its time.

This change with Windows 7 and everything after. Microsoft decided they'd find a plateau representing a minimum platform and haven't increased requirements since. Even lowered them in several areas with structural improvements.

352 So commenter "Minuteman" (apparently a USAF missileer in his previous life) says he fired a Minuteman III once (from Vandenberg AFB, CaliGirl's 'hood, I'm sure).


So I'm thinking, wow, that sort of permanently trumps any other "one time I shot a XXXX" story that the Horde might have.


And then pep says a relative was the one who actually pushed the button on the "Mike" shot - the first full-scale hydrogen bomb test in the Pacific. (I'm wondering - I think a timer was initiated, instead of a direct ignition button pushed - maybe pep knows)


So I'm thinking, now THAT trumps any possible future story - how do you "one-up" a 10-megaton nuke shot?


And it really renders even more pitiful my own "thissss close" story about firing the F-16 20mm Vulcan cannon (in flight).

Weaponzed memes, 4chan activism, etc, etc, and all because a bunch of entitled cultural marxists refused to leave people alone. They ended up creating their own opposition, who would have been quite happy never to become political in the first place, but had to for reasons of self-defense. And for the keks, of course.

It's fine to expect perfection from yourself. It's relationship suicide to expect your level of perfection from anyone else.
--

I'm from the camp that says the only perfection is from God.

However, I don't think it's bad to hold yourself to high standards. However, true perfectionism can be extremely difficult in a relationship, especially when it's a badge of honor. Realizing that you have that issue is, I think, the first step to working on it.

I lost my best friend due to her perfectionism and her inability to simply admit she could possibly be wrong. She's a lovely person, but had a bad side she could never admit, and, at times, took it out on me.

And yes, votermom, you're right, it is about fear and insecurity. I hope my former friend looks inside herself and realizes that she is imperfect like the rest of us.

436 Q: How do you access the BIOS settings on an eMachine?

A: Access the BIOS settings on an eMachine using either the Tab, Del or F2 keys depending on your particular computer. Use one of these keys during the boot process, before you see the Windows log-in screen, or else you have to start the process again.

The folks who claim to be so pro first amendment, systematically shuts down public comments

Damn, it is the day for that! PreviouslyTV just wiped the CNN/MSNBC/Fox threads completely. Down to 0. Absolutely forbidding political talk, going forward. I take partial credit as one of the only (eh, the only one) conservatives who got into those threads (esp the first two) and hit back hard against the 99%ers. For every post I wrote in defense, 10 argued whatever point I could be making.

Yup, explicitly traditional and rebellious all at once. That's the key. Just listen to the lyrics in those songs, there is no pajama boy shit there. If we do songs about the crusades, its about ripping a muslim invader's head off and beating him with it, not making nice-nice. We deal with history, real history, dark age shit, Viking shit, war shit, and nothing is looked at with rose colored glasses. Not big on authority figures either.

504 I've got a 1"x42" leather stropping belt in the inventory for my Craftsman belt/disk sander.

It's been deeply infused with copious amounts of Flitz metal polish.

One brief pass on each side of the already sharpened blade, and it's as free of wire-edge, burrs and grit residue as a new scalpel.

Sharp knives are safer knives.

Flitz > Simichrome > Brasso.

Alas, Never Dull works more on the chemistry side of things, vs. the actual reduction, which is polishing.

But if your surface is merely tarnished, not needing the "cut" of a polishing medium, then Never Dull is the first resort, not the last. Good stuff, that.

511 "The sales guy said they go through brake pads and rotors."

BMW engineering decided a couple of years ago to make the brake rotors a short-service-life consumable, meant to be replaced at the same time the brake pads get changed out.

Around the same time -- purely by coincidence, you understand!!! -- they hiked the prices on the rotors.

I've seen gently driven Bimmers that are forty years old, before this change in technical philosophy, that have the original rotors.

I think Corey had started to dabble with speed a bit, again, right before he died.

I had a buddy who did some session work with them in the late 80s early 90s. He said it was the single craziest experience he had ever had and he bowed out after a week...too many drugs.

And this guy is no stranger to that shit. He just said it was on a scale that was impossible to conceive of let alone hang with.

532 @485 Brilliant idea to pick on those socially ostracized and not only used to it, but who wore it like a badge of honor. Those who really did not give a rat's patootie about public opinion and were quite feisty to boot.
The funny thing is even after the left got it's ass kicked to Pluto, they declared victory. I wish them many more such victories.
---------------------------

If you're a group intent on controlling others by threatening to call them nasty names, gamers are probably the worst group to go up against. Vicious name calling is pretty much par for the course in most games these days.

On the other hand, I wouldn't be so quick to say that the SJWs lost. Yes, it's true that the actual gamers couldn't care less what the SJWs have to say. But I think the big companies in the industry have folded (or were already in the SJW camp to begin with). Decisions are being made - even by Japanese game companies - with an eye toward appeasing the SJWs.

Like all things in mechanical contact, springs in the fork tubes of motorcycles when they are first installed are not 'seated', in the context of the springs rubbing the walls of the tubes. They tend to squeek for a while until the coils have been scrubbed in a bit.

That used to drive me crazy when installing new/different springs in race bikes.

I put together a rotating steel tube with end caps that were drilled for a rod that passed through the length of the tube. The tube sat in rotating rollers, and a bell crank simultaneously pushed/pulled the rod back and forth.

A new spring would be put in the tube, the spring held captive on the rod. Pour in some Brasso, crank up the apparatus, and a day or so later, the outside of the spring coils had been scrubbed in.

Actually, this has little or nothing to do with his plans to, or not to, run in 2020.

What it DOES do, is absolutely cock-block a whole lot of mischief which various 501 C-3 "nonprofits", and related PACs, could have sprung against Trump, between now and next campaign season.

Now that he's a "declared candidate", the rules dictate a far narrower scope of allowable conduct, speech, contributions, etc, that those organizations can take against Trump.

Brilliant move, actually.

Rush spoke of this in some detail a week or so back, when it was first in the news.

Exactly, and this is the real tragedy- games will be made to be more for people who do not play them than those who play them.

Do you think there were a ton of gay guys clamoring for homosexual romance choice in Bioware games or who would have rather had better, tighter stories that they would love to play? Does not matter, resources are being diverted for them.

Bioware is a company I'd classify as already folded *long* before Gamergate. They had same sex romance options available all the way back in Jade Empire, roughly ten years ago. They wanted to put one in Knights of the Old Republic back in 2003, but apparently LucasArts nixed that idea. So they only included subtle hints about a couple of NPCs in the game.

And honestly I think the story was much tighter from a narrative standpoint.

Mass Effect 3 was something of a disappointment (although I am not one of the people who think it was the worst thing ever), but one of the biggest problems was the narrative fuzziness with the romance options. It was bad enough when you had two romance options at the beginning (Choose the other one!) that had to be carried narratively through three games, but then by the end of mass effect 3- how many different options did you have? Alas, poor Kaiden, as the meme goes "Better to die a hero than to become the weird gay friend."

I commented on a gaming thread a while back when someone was just starting the series.

(Paraphrased): "If you care about romance paths, You will face a choice. It will seem like an easy choice. Between a mature, confident woman, and a winsome, childish girl. You will think there is no comparison. Don't choose the one you think is the right choice, Choose the other one."

I had no problem with the romance options for ME3. Really don't care if you want to go the gay guy option. Afterall you can bang Liara as FemShep or go after Specialist Trainor as well. Romance options was not the problem with ME3. It was the ending. And the fact that they are having ME:Andromeda start off before ME3 and then jumping ahead 600 years in another galaxy I think really pushes how much they fucked it up.

Another problem is the short shaft you got with your former squadmates from previous games, but weren't in this game. Should have been handled like Liara in ME2 Shadowbroker DLC and Wrex in the ME3 Citadel DLC. Make them a squadmate for some or all of the mission you are with them on rather than just having the be there. You already have a woefully short squad already so more variety would have been good even if its just a mission here and there.

571 @551 Mass Effect 3 was something of a disappointment (although I am not one of the people who think it was the worst thing ever), but one of the biggest problems was the narrative fuzziness with the romance options. It was bad enough when you had two romance options at the beginning (Choose the other one!) that had to be carried narratively through three games, but then by the end of mass effect 3- how many different options did you have? Alas, poor Kaiden, as the meme goes "Better to die a hero than to become the weird gay friend."
-----------------------

The stated on the forums plan for ME2's romances was originally that if you didn't stay faithful to your absent ME1 love interest, you'd suffer the consequences in ME3. Apparently those consequences ended up being a quick apology, based on what I've heard from others.

Mass Effect: Andromeda is due out next month, iirc, and for the first time ever I'm extremely hesitant about a Bioware game. ME3 had the awful, awful ending. And when, after blazing through the game just after release, I logged onto the forums to try and figure out how I'd somehow missed the real ending of the game (seriously - I was certain I'd somehow missed something important), it was clear that the Bioware staff had no idea why gamers didn't think it was a great ending. I played most of Dragon Age: Inquisition, but then set it aside and haven't since mustered up enough interest to finish it.

And now we have Mass Effect: Andromeda, in which all of the potential love interests will once again be bi (which was also the case in the HUGELY popular /sarcasm Dragon Age 2), and one of the head guys on the development team (might be a writer - can't remember for sure) has been posting racist tweets.

Apparently the first part of the game will be available to play for free shortly before release. So I'll probably check it out and see how it looks.

It won't happen by violence.

"Muslims in Europe are increasingly converting empty Christian churches into mosques.

The proliferation of mosques housed in former churches reflects the rise of Islam as the fastest growing religion in post-Christian Europe.

There are now more practicing Muslims than practicing Christians in many parts of Europe, not only in large urban centers, but also in smaller towns and cities across the continent.

As Islam replaces Christianity as the dominant religion in Europe, more and more churches are set to become mosques, which increasingly serve not only as religious institutions but also function as the foundational political building blocks for the establishment of separate, parallel Muslim communities in Europe that are based on Islamic Sharia law."

Inquisition was not 'bad' per se. Dragon Age has always suffered compared to Mass Effect for the strength of the narrative. I thought they were going to use the Darkspawn and the Blights to create the same kind of monolithic threat the Reapers were in Mass Effect, but they shied away from it in subsequent games. I think they realized that with Mass Effect, they literally made the Reapers TOO credible in that it was hard to imagine an non ex machina ending where you could win.

Inquisition was decent, but the whole thing felt decidedly bland. That is part of the problem with making the character and characters be able to fit everything- it comes at the sacrifice of tightly written characters.

T,
Acceptable levels violence, to be escalated as "necessary", is part of the playbook. Kinda, "Well, you've punched him, now kick him, etc.." escalation based on human nature.

What John M points out that struck me, is the Dedication to a Cause that has been demonstrated. An the Organization efforts that are in place.
Along with reasoning that explains why the "good guys" aren't Proactive, but Reactive in this situation.

In certain regions, SURE, Folks aren't sayin a thing but preparing for this possible outcome. It's cultural.

In the end they'll protect what's theirs.......and keep it.

But the dawn they face afterwards......Will be forever different.

Any and all of your party members could die during the final mission in ME2.

During ME3, if you don't do one or two specific things (I don't remember what off the top of my head, though warning her as mentioned above is apparently one), then she dies after (or possibly at the end of) her personal mission.

If I remember, she can be killed in either. On the suicide mission, she can die if you do not do her loyalty (which is included in the romance) and Buzz is right, if you do not warn her about Kai Leng she can die there as well.

I think the main key to ensure she lives is that there is a conversation with her at some point after the Citadel attack by Cerberus, either at the apartment or via video in the Spectre office and you have to mention Kai Lang to her. If you don't do that she will die at Sanctuary.

Buzzion is right, if you ever have a dialogue option with her to mention Kai Leng, you have to hit it, or else he blindsides her.

It was great- probably the best 'giving back to the fans' and 'Last Hurrah for all the characters' I have ever seen in a game series. Lots of great moments- even Mordin (albeit in a recording) makes an appearance. Has a great "everyone gets drunk off their asses" part.

Polygon and Kotaku are probably owned by the same parent company. One company (can't remember which one off the top of my head) owns most of the major gaming news sites. And they make it very clear to their employees that there are a lot of people out there who will be quite happy to work at a gaming website if their current crop of writers don't toe the line on things like GamerGate.

"Bad guy ending" is actually ending the threat which you set out to do, but hey its bad because it will ultimate result in war between synthetics and organics, even though if you do it right you prove that little fucker wrong and get peace between the Geth and Quarians.

And the "Ultimate ending" is removing the free will from all sentient people across the galaxy. That's right, in a game all about how the choices you make will affect the outcome, the best ending is to deny the rest of the galaxy their own choices.

Hmmm, I think the story element of the Giant Microphone was probably what started to make me wonder. The rest of the game was going well, but that made me wonder "Are they going to try to say.."

Control is just doing what the Elusive man wanted to do. To me that is just you being controlled by the REapers, not the other way around.

Domination(? red ending) is probably the ... best, but it comes at the cost of destroying the Geth and any other sentient AI- essentially destroying all the work you did with the Quarians and Geth over the last three games.

The Kai Leng fights are a piece of cake on Insanity compared to the last final Reaper fight on Earth, and the fight in the hangar of the Normandy in the Citadel DLC. Those were true bastards compared to his fight, at least with the squad I had chosen. I didn't die against Leng. I died multiple times in the others.

692 I started playing HALO because I had a friend that worked at Microsoft. He was the lead art director on the mech warrior games. I was a playstation dude and he says you GOT to get an xbox and play this new game called HALO. He knew the games I liked, so I listened. Man, that first game was a world changer. I played them all except for the latest one, I have to get that.

I did not have much trouble on that one that I remember. I had more issue with the teleporter, IIRC. I almost always went for the 'slo-time' powers (soldier? ICR) and that almost always did the trick- plus not fighting in the open, using the terrain to set up where you could shoot at one of them while they were the only ones to shoot at you. Lot of death traps in that area, IIRC and the banshees were worse than the behemoths.

702 I'm trying to remember what halo I was playing, but I came into this massive area where there was some huge ass building by the water that was a covenant stronghold. there were supply drops and I grabbed a sniper rifle and started picking them off from way the hell out. That was cool, then eventually after you got through there they dropped off some hunters to screw with you.

Shit, Tricia Helfer? Shit, I didn't even notice that.

Nolan north did the revoice on the ghost in destiny, that little cube that followed you. That was terrible. It was originally done by the dwarf in game of thrones, and it was good, kinda serious and added a darker touch. The nolan dude comes along and revoiced the entire dialog and now it sounded like a fruitcake. Just nasty, like leave it to beaver was following you around. We went from WE'VE WOKEN THE HIVE, to what sounded like gee wally, we woken the hive.

It was redone because the general consensus was that Peter Dinklage phoned it in and didn't do a good job. There is always somebody who likes the version most everybody else didn't. I thought the voiceover in 'Bladerunner' was right but all the fanboys raved over its removal in later releases.

I heard he wanted too much money for the newer DLCs, so they used the new guy. I'm not saying it was Nolan's fault, because I'm betting some asshat at bunghole coached him to do it that way.

I have no clue, I know I didn't like the new dude. if you read the comments on the you tube vids not many seemed to like him either, I had almost 400 people in my friends list from that game, and I don't think 25 liked the new dude. I used to Sherpa the raids, and I used to hear it all the time. But who knows. I didn't like the way the game was controlled on a psychotic level, they just kept fucking with it. They nerfed everything to the ground and just kept creating new metas. I didn't play the PVP side, so it just kept getting to be more and more of a piss off trying to beat raid bosses with weaker and weaker guns and less and less ammo. Wasn't the absolute worst if you knew the game, but when you Sherpa noobs in the raid it got to be a pain in the ass.

Destiny on the whole is a really good game. The character movements and gun play is top fucking notch. The only downside is its very light on content, you could beat the original game in one really long day, and each dlc in probably less time. The other bad thing is the randomness of the loot. People played for months and didn't get the super gun another could get in 2 days of play time. It was insidious, they had gambling experts coaching them on to hook people to keep playing a low content game, and the way they did it was by making the loot random, way random. So basically they turned the game into a frigging slot machine.

The worst part was you couldn't get on raid teams if you didn't have certain weapons. The must have in year 1 was the gallerhorn, it was a nasty rocket launcher that was great for melting certain bosses, so of course if you didn't have one, not many would let you on a raid team. I had 1500 hours in the game before I got one, some people never got one. It was a clusterfuck. Another bad thing about it was the actual game that released was nothing...nothing like the game was originally supposed to be. They talked about open world, it wasn't even close to an open world. They basically sold it as skyrym in space. Nothing like it. But, with all that said, its fun if you just play want a very fluid shooter, do the campaign and NOT get mixed up in gambling aspect of the day in and day out search for weapons you may never get.

Sounds a lot like Diablo 3 when it first released without the Real money auction house. The skinner box element to loot games (Borderlands is another) has to be balanced right, or it is a waste of time.

The complete randomness of loot made sense for Diablo 3 if you realized that the real money auction house was the entire reason for the game. The monetization of gameplay.

SATA started appearing in systems wayyy back in 2003 and is in its third generation, with the 4th, SATA Express, pretty much stillborn as PCIe SSDs blew it away. Million of motherboards in the last two years shipped with SATA Express ports but there are drives on the market to connect to them. (Asrock has a clever box that lets you use the bandwidth to create USB 3.1 ports in a front drive bay.) The presence of SATA is no assurance of modernity, especially when the machine is known to be a P4.

$25 is cheap but I don't know that it would be worth my time unless I had a specific use in mind. It's a low end machine compare to most Android phones these days. There are just so many things people take for granted now that will drag on such a machine. But running Linux Mint is likely as good as it is going to get as far as refurbing it for somebody goes.

768 I stumbled over to Breitbart in my vodka infused haze, and instead found MiloLand. Seriously, coverage of the Maher broadcast is about 50% of the main page.

Even more seriously, I'm glad for the existence of Milo. He's busy stomping a mudhole into a whole lot of preconceived ideas about conservatives.
