    Give the government literally all the money in the world and they'll find a way to piss it all down the drain and complain they don't have enough.

    The Friendly Elite reacted to RonnieOP in My opinion on the 'starter PC' in the guide   
    I actually misread your part list and thought it was a 1200 not a 2200g. Thats my bad 
     
    But for a starter build thats meant to be upgraded down the road the 550 is still a horrible value at $85. 
     
    Much better to just use the apu until you can save up for a decent video card. The 550 isnt even going to get you anything when you go to resell it. Since you can find 580/480 for $100 used in the US i dont see a 550 bringing in more then $40 if anyones interested in it at all.
     
    The 550 is basically just a waste of money.

    So where exactly do you draw the line then? Because we should then probably ban fast food, sodas and all other unhealthy food with the rise of child and overall obesity. And this can keep going until you do not have freedom and the country turns in totalitarian one.

    I'm a personal responsibility guy, if you make the choice to put harmful things in your body, YOU should have to deal with the consequences. It's really that simple.

    The Friendly Elite reacted to Neft in Cop Cam - crappy walmart camera(long post)   
    hey so i went and got a cheap camera from walmart today believe it was about 20$ where as it used to be 40-60$, it does everything as advertised and even though people say it doesnt work properly the timestamp on it does in fact keep ticking even when its not recording, however small delays in the time happens as the SD card is removed for any length of time so occasionally you may have to micromanage the minutes that are on it before putting it back in, honestly not that big of a deal, one downside i did notice is the device itself heats up rather badly when plugged in to charge with the official charger, be wary of this as its a potential fire hazard personally i try not to use anything that requires charging or is a charger itself if it heats up like that just from charging/being charged but keep in mind it is cheap, but for that cheap price its actually pretty nice, the camera is wider than i thought it would be, while its not in 1080P or anything its still in 720PHD so it has a fairly clear picture, honestly if it wasn't for its very short night vision detection which wont show an actual person until their basically next to it i would recomend this as a cheap must buy, basically it would work fairly well as a cheap dash cam or even a very cheap rear cam as long as you had a decent size SD card in it like 32GB since thats the biggest it claims to support with 32GB assuming the battery life holds up i would give it approximately 7-10 days of recording time before it starts to write over itself.
     
    with all that said if your would be thief will walk next to it with lights off or if theres a small light source somewhere to help it out within X distance its wonderful for use at night, however if they turn on your light which say, a room mate thats prowling through your shit will when your at work its still a fairly decent buy for what you get.
     
    however the cons outweigh the pros, the clip slips off things easily including the wall mount, yea it clips to the wall mount.... the adhesive for the wall mount WILL rip paint off your walls so be careful where you place it if you dont use screws or dont want to use them, the adhesive id say is fairly good quality in terms of sticking and bonding, i had to slide my knife between it and the wall to move it to a better spot, the mount swivels completely even the part that attaches to the camera rotates as well however it falls apart very easily once you start sliding it around, if you remember those old bionicle toys with the ball joints yea... its that all over again, night vision works but is very limited without an external light source even though they claim it has an internal one also it doesnt have a flippable camera or gravity sensor like your phone or the gopro etc... so which direction the cameras rotated to matters quite a bit, its really a difference of you being upside down or sideways or something else.
     
    theres more i can list but yea, all in all its only really good as a dash/rear cam for a car or monitoring your bedroom when your not at home, however there are potentially a few hacks you can do to make it better or hide it without the stand/clip, the adhesive strip has a small piece that pops out in the middle so it doesnt interfere with a screw fixture in case you decide to use them, so if you have a small place to put it thats out of sight but it can see you, you could place the strip around the front with the camera looking through the hole and have the strip holding it like that, or you can take the small circle you popped out and stick the camera LITERALLY anywhere without potentially obstructing or harming its view, so as far as potential goes for hiding it if you actually think, id give it a solid 4/10 partly because i doubt the company that makes it thought of hiding it with only using the adhesive, then as for hacks youll need to pop the case open and replace or re-organize the components as you see fit, you could also replace a few cheap internals and 3D print a new case or simply buy materials for a DIY kit like linus did
     
     
    yes i did heavily research my local, state and federal laws/statutes that way i am in no way violating a law or creating a loophole for said individual to squeeze through.
     
    Anyways, i came home from work one night and i noticed one of my safe keys was missing so i shot someone a text and also confronted the possible offender, two days later i now have a second lockbox this one uses a programmable combination with no default unlock code once programmed, i have both of them hidden in two different places, the literal day after that happens i leave for work i come back home, im missing 2-5$ in quarters off my dresser (laundry change) and what i was saving for a friend had been gotten into, would be offender admitted to both of these, since then i have been locking my bedroom door every night, however i came in this morning and because im OCD and exceedingly anal about every little thing in my room, everything is placed where its placed on purpose i have some things lined up with others that dont seem it specifically for the purpose of knowing if someones touched ANYTHING.
     
    things that were moved, lens cleaner, usb microsd card reader, the penny from behind my tv, my knifes were pushed exactly 0.7 inches farther up and were starting to go under my TV, my change pile had been messed with yet again, this time it had a quarter added to it and 12 pennies were gone, my case with my switch games and a few accessories was tossed on the floor, my glass ocarina still in box was close to falling off and i had positioned it perfectly diagonally to make a nice show piece while not blocking what was next to it, the picture i had of my family was also moved from ontop of that to behind it, the painting i have on a glass tab was moved closer to the edge and unevenly so one good bump would of made it fall and break, the inhalers that were lined up with my bedroom tv were moved about 0.5 inches, and my bluetooth dongle for my switch was farther away from the surface meaning the switch dock itself had been moved as well.

    The Friendly Elite reacted to Bearlogger in FH4 help. I spend a minimum of 100 HOURS trying to fix this... I cant any more   
    So here comes the day where i finally gave up. I bought FH4 maybe a month ago. And it played out fine for the later days to come. But around one week in the month a bug started to happen. Where the game would go from 120 fps on ultra ( 2560 x 1440 ) to around 40. The first couple of days i figured that maybe it would use the CPU as rendering device or something. Since high ingame GPU usage and 4-11% in task manager.
    I have now come to the conclusion that maybe its not the CPU. It might be the GPU's vram or system ram that it's not using enough off. To be honest i dont know anymore.
    The game was everything for me, therefore i went out and bought a used GPU ( same as before just diffrent brand. From ASUS to MSI ).. Still the same. I have spend at LEAST 100 hours diving into BIOS and system files. Reset windows. Tried older versions of windows. I tried EVERYTHING.... This is a dumb thing that nobody have to go through. Making such an expensive game and then making some people sit day and night trying to fix it. I have read on the internet and forums that im not alone in this. And someone tried to fix it for 6 months. Sometimes it works. But it takes 1/100 restarts of the pc and powering the system off before it runs perfectly. Maybe 1-2 times a week im able to play this game... IF i sit and restarts my pc 100+ times.
    I have my whole life been sitting and working with pc's. So every small and quick sulution have been tried. All the troubleshoots i could and all the fixed i could think off have not worked. My pc specs is WAY over average so the problem is not there. ( 120 fps GTAV on ultra )....
    Is it, or is it not possible for me to get my money back. At least that. I have spend countless hours and countless money on this.. I cant take this anymore. Either my money back, or maybe some technical GOD somewhere in the world can help me with fixing this..

    Whoa, please relax.  I think you misunderstood what I was saying.
     
    I'm not saying you can't use vaping as a less harmful bridge, but it should be a short-term solution toward not smoking anything, not a permanent replacement.  It's still a health risk, and the folks who pretend it's fine are fooling themselves.
     
    And for reference, my dad was a smoker and gave it up about 30 years ago (he's still around).  In part because he didn't want to end up with lung cancer or affect his kids.
