Can you help me with a new build?

Wow Dave, Thank You!!! That'll get me well on my way. I think I've found a decent enough vga card that will take the place of the cooked one, and I can milk this platform awhile longer. :) PM coming right up. Somniferum, Thanks for the suggestions and link. Next time this machine goes up...

Can you help me with a new build?

A couple nights ago my computer got smoked during a lightning storm despite being redundantly protected. Homeowners may cover it, but that's beside the point. I still have to get back up and running. The components now are: Neo Power 480 PSU (smoked, but I already bought a new one) Asus...

Sammy Sosa

Sammy kicks ass. He's healthy and he's likely juiced. As a matter of fact, he's probably healthy BECAUSE he's juiced.

Union plumbers throw wrench in Tom Brady's plan

Hell no, 80% of the guys I work with struggle to get their bucket from the car to the work trailer. In the same spirit, I have to admit that there's not much use for understanding of electron migration in the pipefitting trade. As long as I can get them to read the tags that say "UP" on stuff...

My neighbor passed away yesterday

That sucks. I just got back from a viewing. The ex-wife's great aunt. She was 85. I enjoyed seeing the whole family and managed to avoid the ex wife, so it went very well.

I'm makin cookies.

Welp, I burned most of them. Not actually burned, but made them too brown. About half of them are pretty much perfect. The dough wasn't cold enough, I should have left it sit overnight in the fridge. I haven't even tasted one yet because I don't like them when they're hot. I'll have to report...

I do. But I enjoyed dope, drinking and pussy far too much to spend wasted money in college. So I jumped on the plumber bus. It's cool. I seldom work and have had time to learn, see and do more sht than most people see in a lifetime.

Quite frankly, the whole idea of espresso anything threatens my masculinity.

And I'm pretty sure I'm not gay. They're Neimann Marcus Chocolate Chip, but I leave the expresso powder out because you can't buy expresso powder here in Podunk. I've looked. Everywhere. The dough is in the fridge right now because it has to be the right temperature. If the dough is too warm...

Union plumbers throw wrench in Tom Brady's plan

Makes sense then. I suppose I was thinking bid chargeout rather than T&M. I never paid any attention to the billing on T&M work, but last figure I saw for chargeout at the shop I worked at was around $62.00. That was for some hospital work and was a long time ago. Pretty much gives away what...

Check out what my cat kills *2007 thread* K=128

I had a cat named Kitty Nipples who used to bring home dead baby kittens. That sumbitch was insane with bloodlust. Awesome cat.

Darty already pointed out that the stated rate is erroneous. The prevailing wage in Boston is right around $36.00. That's what a plumber would make. They would also have an extended benefit package that likely tacks on $10-$12 and hour in cost for the contractor. That package includes Health...
