    Thorium19 got a reaction from You_are_a_cunt in "Brexit"   
    Okay, for those people who are voting to leave the EU, or have yet to make their mind up, allow me to help you with reasons why we should stay.
    1. Roughly only 12% or so of our laws come from the EU, and the UK has agreed to every single one of them. They have not been forced upon us, remember, we vote for MEPs who are our voice as a nation in the EU, much like our MPS are our voice in parliament.
    2. We pay £190 million per week to the EU, not £350 million, which totals up to 0.6% of our entire GDP, which is nothing compared to how much goes into the NHS and the rest of the government spending.
    3. Currently, the EU accounts for 40% of our exports as a nation. Imagine taking away 40% of your income and trying to get by that large a cut, whilst still living the way you do.
    4. If we leave the EU and still wish to trade with them, it will cost us a similar amount to how much we have to pay to the EU already per year in tax just to gain access to the common market. We will also have to agree to whatever the EU wants us to if we want to continue trade. This will certainly include taking in migrants, likely more than we already take in.
    5. For those who complain that immigrants are stealing UK jobs, bear in mind the people who are coming over and actually working are already trained, with a better education than the vast majority of those who are competing for the same jobs.
    6. If we vote leave, we will be going against the advice of near enough every financial organisation that has taken any interest in the referendum, with every one of them stating we will have a decreased GDP and will almost certainly go into another recession.
    7. If we vote leave, we will be siding with Putin, Farage and Trump for example. If we vote remain, we will be siding with Obama, Sturgeon and Branson to name a few.
    8. The UK does not have an empire anymore, there’s no “Splendid isolationism” or anything like the 19th century and early 20th century anymore, we live in a globalised age where we cannot afford to be left alone to fend for ourselves. The empire now consists of a few small islands far far away who will not be able to make up for 500 million+ people in the EU.
    9. the UK is part of europe as a continent, we are not stuck on the side of America, we are a small island 22 miles off the coast of France. Therefore, it would be foolish to not stay in the European Union, to help make the continent a better place than it is already.
    10. If we leave, we cannot decide 5 years down the line that we don’t like how things have gone and we’ll vote to rejoin. This isn’t a general election, this is the biggest vote that you will likely ever have in your entire life, and if you don’t feel 100% certain in your decision, then vote to remain, because we can always have another referendum to leave, but we can’t have one to rejoin.

    Thorium19 got a reaction from X1XNobleX1X in Titan Z or Titan X?   
    why not just two titan blacks if you can find them, as they'll be faster than the titan z and a similar price. If you need double precision FPs then go for the one that actually has them, not the one that's a fancy 980ti.

    Thorium19 reacted to SteveGrabowski0 in Best case for air cooling   
    The Silverstone FT cases with the 90 degree rotated motherboard are by far the best cases for air cooling. They take in a lot of air from the bottom and it has a straight channel up to be exhausted through the top. GPU temps are much better with those cases than any others I'm aware of.
     

     
    They're also really expensive though.

    Thorium19 reacted to Trik'Stari in Comcast at it again, this time with popups.   
    So, did you want to save money not renting some crappy modem from Comcast? Well, Comcast has decided to go after you for that. How? Unblockable popups telling you that your modem isn't good enough, and that you should totally rent one of theirs for a ridiculous price.
     

     
     
    At this point, Comcast is just try-harding to be the worst company in America again. This kind of thing shouldn't even be legal. Seems like profiteering to me. They want you to pay them to get them to stop harassing you.

    8/10 nice photo of some nice headphones, although the part of the headband at the front seems slightly out of focus, although what's to be expected with so much bokeh going on, but nothing major.
     
    I think this is my preferred photo from a walk I went on on saturday, but I'm not sure if B&W or colour suits it the best, so I'll just use the B&W one. The weather had been awful the day before and during the morning, but I braved the cold and got this whilst the sun was still out.

    Thorium19 got a reaction from Razarza in Neccessity of cooling for RAM   
    I think with 12GB of ram installed you're unlikely to have any heat issues, ram produces very little heat compared to the rest of the stuff in a computer and standard case circulation is usually enough unless there's a lot of fast ram closely populated together, or you're overclocking the shit out of it.
