Doesn't look like it's worth the $15 pricetag it has on Steam.

Out of curiosity, I went looking for bus filters. There's actually devices that claim to do just that, although I don't know how credible they are.

There's a usb filter: http://www.amazon.com/Audioquest-ADQ002-AudioQuest-Jitterbug-Filter/dp/B00YTA78FW/

 

There's even rather pretty devices that claim to be pci bus cleaner/filter: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00WWQ2Z6C

 

None of which is really that relevant, but I thought it was interesting.

All of that is junk, (for modern systems anyways) unless you have a high-intensity interference generator sitting next to your computer, operating on the frequencies used by the hardware. Essentially, it's a solution in search of a problem.

With your new question, it's the second one without a doubt...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_the_United_States

People don't need handouts to survive poverty, but they do need handouts to survive deadly sicknesses if they don't have the money for treatment.

You're giving out really simple, and obvious choices... If it was between poverty, and say lower-importance dental care, that would be a more difficult decision.

Going to bed.

But mostly the eyebrows...

(and the pudgyness)

Let's predict how many hours it will take BTG to burn through of his Fallout 4 addiction before he returns to the normal forum posting again.

 

324 hours!

231 actually...

I wanna run it on Pc, i have no idea if i can though

MSI Apache GE60

Nvidia Geforce GTX 850m GPU

intel core I7-4710Q CPU @ 2.50GHZ(overclocked to 3.7)

8GB RAM

Win 10 OS

 

I think i may be able to run it, but i'm worried how bad i'd have to make my graphics. also, it's a laptop, so i don't know.

Consider this, I'm running it on a GT630m, and on medium settings able to get around 15-20 FPS... (Win 7, 8GB RAM) An 850m is around 4 times my card. Also, it doesn't even come close to maxing my i5-3210m (2.5 - 3.1GHz) at any settings level. (though it does come very close to filling the 2GB GPU memory when textures are set to ultra) http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-850M.107795.0.html

OT: I am pineapple... I digest you, starting with inside of your stomach.

Why must it be so hard to find and watch these cartoons?!

I know that feel man. When I was a wean the BBC used to broadcast 'Muppets Tonight', and I loved it. Of course time goes by and they change their programming and MT stops showing. I think we had episodes taped, but they're unusable now. You can't get the box set, and there's only a few clips on YouTube.

 

Maybe I need to search deeper, but I shouldn't have to. Quality childhood moments that are still vivid, but it seems I won't be able to relive.

Torrents are your friend... I can get all of the classics on there.

There are more archivists on pirate sites than there are pirates.

Happy belated b-day!

First one for sure

Agreed.

The issue isn't that we're not curing disease, we're definitely curing it, the issue is that we're not looking in to how to prevent it. Curing patients makes money where making sure they won't get sick in the first place costs money. It's as simple as that, really.

Actually, the money is in treating the illness... There's no money in cures. (hence why we still don't have the cure for cancer, it would sink the pharmaceutical companies financially)

I'd rather see a couple of homeless person off the street with my $5,000 than see a cancer research center accomplish basically nothing.

100% agree. Most homeless would be able to live comfortably for 6 months to a year on $5000.

Seems I forgot to do this... I remember why... My external HDD started head thrashing around that time. I'll have to give it a go some other time.

Not exactly a series, but it's well worth watching the various videos they make...

No, he doesn't have the movie villain vibes

It's the eyebrows...

It was totally ineffective, primarily because of a total lack of any punctuation or capitalization, leading to the conclusion that you simply don't know proper spelling as well.

Fallout 4.

How do you have seventy mods already? The game hasn't even been out a month yet.

There are thousands available... Ever since FO4Edit was released there have been a load of good mods coming out fixing the little things. (and some huge things) There's even an early test version of the Fallout Script Extender already. (totally untested by their own admission, and they said it'll probly never be used until FO4GECK is released)

Did you even beat the game before you started modding?

I wasn't aware that was a requirement.

Actually, I went through without mods for the majority of the main questline, not really caring about it, then started a new game at Survival difficulty and have been adding mods steadily since I finished [re]building Sanctuary. Most of them fix little things that have always bugged me, but some are just for fun. (like the nude mods)

Well... I guess since I just realized that I have over 70 mods installed, it would be a good idea for me to make a list for what I use. Here it is... (in Nexus Mod Manager default mod view order)

Unsqueaky Power Armor - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/1739/ (it was just one tiny little barely audible squeak, and it was driving me up the wall)

Fewer Minutemen Updates - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2743/ (to go with the Radio Freedom song replacement http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2344/)

Simple Bug Fixes - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2142/

Customize Legendary Enemy Spawning - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/218/

Customize Power Armor and Jetpack Drain - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/225/ (because why should you be limited to 6 seconds of Jetpack use, or 10 minutes of total armor power if you're being very conservative in your power use?)

Deadly Radstorms - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/829/ (because it just wasn't irradiated enough for a realistic radstorm)

Faster Terminal Displays - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/937/ (this brings the terminals out of the 50's era visual update rate, and into the 60's)

Move (Get Out the Way) - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4062/

Real Working Jetpack - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3931/ (it works, but is a bit too powerful; I hope it will get a lowered maximum vertical speed when the GECK is released)

Settlement Resources Revived - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3146/

Slippery Chameleon Effect - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2630/ (because why should adaptive camouflage turn off for a few seconds every time you walk, even though firing weapons or spinning in place doesn't?)

Vats over there? (Increased V.A.T.S. Distance) - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2173/

Lore Friendly Globes - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3033/ (a touch of realism)

Mo Betta Scrap - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2437/ (I know, moronic name, but great mod)

Pre-War Safes - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/3306/ (no more pipe weapons in pre-war safes, because why would they be there in the first place?)

Better Computer Terminals - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2154/

Better Recon Scope - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2189/ (why did they choose a light tan color in vanilla anyways?)

Weapon Balance Overhaul - http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/2463/ (fixes a lot of issues I have with the weapons, but introduces a few extras [like the fire rate of the hunting rifle])

The NSFW mods:

That's my list as of 10:26 AM December 08, 2015.

Fallout 4.

It is nowhere near watered down... If anything, there is more to do than there was in NV, (including all expansions) after modding it with over 180 mods. The performance improvements on top of the improved graphical representation result in being able to run this at the same settings as NV, on the same laptop, and get the same framerates. (much improved framerates if you use the fog removal mods)

Yes, they kinda removed skills, but they were rolled into the perk system. (which feels really well done, though it could use a few mods to expand it a bit more IMO) They removed the ability to craft ammo, and integrated the New Vegas/Skyrim settlement building mods. Extensive weapon and armor modding system, and I highly recommend getting the Legendary Modification mod. (http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4042/? - It allows you to add/remove/move legendary effects from weapons and armor... Bottomless clip size Missile Launcher is possible, and don't get me started on the Mini Nukes!)

Also, I'm currently running with 110 mods... I'll be making a list of them in the Fallout 4 thread.

Yup, I understood that.

You're twisting my words... You lose credibility when you do that.

There are a lot of people out there that have the ability I described above... They are typically people who have the savant syndrome, but some (including me) have no developmental disabilities. Their genius, for the most part, is completely ignored by people who believe (apparently as you do) that you must go to school to learn, and if you can't learn in that environment, then you're not smart enough to ever produce anything of worth to science. (I have heard many an idiot using this exact wording, usually right before I prove them wrong)

All of that being said, this is not the thread for this. I will not respond any further on this subject in this thread.

Yeah, it was just the description that I read that matched... Already cleared up.

Fallout 4. Up to 210 hours into it.

Also one of my all-time favorites... Though it isn't aging too well.

I still want to see Ross's take on Stellar 7.

had to have been Episode 2 with the base heads

I believe you mean "bassheads". (yes, it's a word)
