    25th Anniversary of Babylon 5

    @Blind Owl!! Good to see you! HAH!! Took a bit of a break from it all. Not just here. Life has tossed in some pretty good curve balls on me! Took leave for a bit to put my head back on straight. This is neither the time or place for *that* conversation though. I need lots more beer for...

    25th Anniversary of Babylon 5

    Agreed. When I watched it a couple years ago my reaction to the first season was "Oh, pretty good", then in season 2 it went to "This is great!", and I at the time attributed it to the new Captain. I thought he just melded into the part naturally and just clicked with Ivanova and Delenn...

    25th Anniversary of Babylon 5

    @Blind Owl is right, and I think he even is the one who told me to watch Babylon 5. I can't believe I missed it back in the 90's. I was in a bit of a turmoil back then, having moved to Colorado in '93, and by '96 was married with a new baby. The 90's disappeared in a whirlwind. I do remember...

    Beer money

    Oh, hold on here! I was told we get "distinguished" as we get older! Doesn't that translate to older and sexy, not scary old folks! Don't burst my bubble like that, I may have to shed tears into my drink now too.

    A little help with cord cutting (Canada)

    I cut the cable just 2 months ago. Netflix and Prime only now. And OTA with one of them digital converter things. A few months ago I installed Kodi on an old Windows box that was sitting around. I had to fiddle with it a bit to get it running, never did get the caching quite right for my...

    Programmers - Coding in C

    Hah! Thanks @Xist, now I'm reminded of that too! I originally learned C in college in the late 80's. I'm surprised no one has linked this yet (maybe I missed it). At the time this was the bible for the original C Language, and probably the source of the now famous "Hello, World" first...

    Great news Sam! And thank God for the timely email. Keep us updated. I've been absent for many a month also. I'll have to stop by the coffee shop sometime soon. ☕

    My SC Experience and overall thoughts about this journey have changed..... Let me explain

    Well ya' all, I am in the same place! I haven't really played since 3.0 was released. And just yesterday I was telling @Shadow Reaper off line the same thing. I also notice the FPS is better now, as i have an underpowered machine, and so I need some help until I build something new! (and...

    22 years ago, Star Citizen was already born

    This is great. 1996 was a great year, it's the year I got married *and* my first kid arrived! And I drank alot of beer in those days. I missed half the shit in the list that @Bruttle has there. But I had played Wing Commander.

    Video: A reminder that Star Citizen is in alpha!

    I'm honored by the placement of driving outside the truck, but the 2 horse fails are more up my alley! LOL. That was hilarious!

    Thoughts and prayers to all our Oregon members

    The book One Second After is a good read for the post EMP effects on North America: https://www.amazon.com/Second-After-John-Matherson-Novel/dp/0765356864/ And for my favorite tin foil hat:

    Thoughts and prayers to all our Oregon members

    Funny, I had a sales call with a medium sized manufacturing company in Oregon this morning. I couldn't help asking him to look out the window and see if the city was burning around him. He cracked up and told me all about the panic that was spreading, especially through the rural areas where...

    I want a Slack channel

    You can also use Discord to setup your own server, at no cost. Once in the past I did that and it worked great.

    Technical Question on RAM

    @AstroGimp01, I've also got the 1050ti, just bought it right before Christmas for myself. Now, my machine is still underpowered and I know it. I need to get *up* to 16 GB when budget allows. But, I try anyway, and only after putting in the user.cfg from @marcsand2 did I get to the point where...

    Graphics Card - Good Deal?

    That's next on my list. Hopefully before Christmas. A couple less beers, and get some memory (that sounds strange...). :)

    Graphics Card - Good Deal?

    Well worth the investment, even if it is short-term for the next 6-9 months. Plays great with the 2.6.3 PU.

    How do you play Star Citizen when you're traveling

    I travel a moderate amount and always assumed I'd be "on leave" from SC while traveling. I tried using my laptop once and it was an utter failure. Of course, my laptop is old, and I have requested budget for new hardware in Q1 of '18. :)
