    R9 290 (Linux Friendly) Replacement

    Any reason for not using the proprietary drivers? I run Linux on a 1060 (Solus and occasionally Fedora) and it works perfectly. Obviously you need to keep on top of rebuilding kernel modules whenever a new kernel comes out, but that is literally running 2 commands every time you need to do that.

    Fabric loses it's license - Closes doors for good

    There is a large amount, but the percentage is minimal. I'm not saying that to glorify drugs or suggest people should take risks, but rather to press on the fact that most of the problem we have in this country about drugs is the fact we don't as a society want to have anything more than an...

    Fabric loses it's license - Closes doors for good

    Most X is actually X. A very small percentage, tiny in fact, turns out to contain PMA usually because whoever is manufacturing the drugs have done it incorrectly, or knowingly added it. The problem with PMA is just how dangerous it is, and people who have unwittingly taken it tend to take far...

    The Division. Are we interested?

    Thought I'd post this again just to (sadly) wee on everyone's chips. All the original 'demos' were nothing more than target renders. Straight from the mouth of a Ubisoft developer I had a few drinks with. Yes they ran on PC's with an 'engine' of sorts, but no actual overhead of the mechanics of...

    ***** The Official Division Thread *****

    Well i've been out for drinks with someone who works on the Division on one of the global teams all chipping in on putting the thing together, and he's told me that just like with Watch Dogs, all you saw in the E3 reveals was a 'target render' with a pc running what essentially amounts to a tech...

    Ford Mustang to be released in EU

    Ahh shame. 35k is pennies compared to its competition. I know it's a Ford and will probably feel like a load of rattling plastic in a few years but theres something about this car that makes me wanna hand my money over and buy.

    Ford Mustang to be released in EU

    ETA on delivery date for your order Gibbo? Dunno whether to bother calling in on a dealership to get on a reserve list, but if there was any chance of seeing one soon i might.

    12 years of marriage

    This approach will be the beginning of a long process which ends with you penniless and her with everything. You want to keep your dignity? Start again now from scratch, as you have no equity in the house, and the car isnt worth enough to fight over. Sounds like your collective net worth is...

    12 years of marriage

    Women leave relationships emotionally WELL before men do. This is why men have such a hard time on being suddenly left high and dry, and are prone to things like suicide and despair. Men are very strong at forming attachments to things, and cope very badly when those things are removed. They try...

    12 years of marriage

    People who are unfaithful are usually very paranoid of other people being unfaithful - probably why she doesn't or didn't trust you with other people. You can't 'buy' love, and you can run yourself into the ground to 'impress' a woman either - as you have no doubt found with this holiday, and...

    Depression

    Hold on there cowboy. Ignorance? I'd like to bet you 100 quid that in 100 years time we will look back on our outright barbaric approach to depression, and laugh, or cry at how we tried to 'fix' the problem with pharma. You'll have to excuse me if I don't have every single fact on the table...

    Depression

    Pickling our brains with drugs sure as heck aint curing the problem. Yeah we 'think' it's 'helping' but most people I've known who were on them, end up acting like strange zombies, bereft of any real emotion. I definitely agree with the idea that millions of years of evolution have not...

    Costs of rent vs. buy...

    If the difference between renting and buying an equivalent house is being 'invested' somewhere else, then the advantages of renting are huge. Having just bought a house, my life now consists of constant trips to B&Q, payments to electricians, plasterers etc etc. Obviously all discretionary...

    First Coat onto Plaster

    Buy the best you can stomach, as the cheaper stuff is just a pain to use. We used Wickes Trade matte for fresh plaster, and then 2 coats of farrow and ball primer, and 2 coats of farrow and ball top coat. The matte was watered down a touch but was like milk in the first place. Didn't go on...

    Cheating

    A lot of talk about 'trust' and 'building trust'. You might very well be able to scare her off ever doing it again while building up 'trust', but the fact of the matter is that she preferred the company of another man between the sheets than she did the OP. I suspect their marriage was lacking...

    Cheating

    It's not disrespect - if she wants to be with the other guy then that's her deal. From this point on it's his choice how he chooses to interpret every thing that goes on. She disrespected him the moment she choose to have an affair and keep it going for 7 years. It's a disrespect that it's...

    Cheating

    Changing locks on doors is no tactic at all. It's her house as well (I'm assuming as they are married) so he has no real 'right' to expel her. This is where it all gets silly for most people. They try and score points, or go for what THEY feel is right, yada yada yada. It's a losing game no...

    Cheating

    Dumbest advice ever. As his wife, she has the legal right to gain entry to her own house. She can get a locksmith to force entry if he does anything as stupid as that. Enough of the 'bro advice'.

    Cheating

    Looks like the OP is now descending into wet lettuce territory. Quite upsetting to see what men have been reduced to in this day and age. Don't ever EVER ... EVER try and hang onto something because you are too weak to face life alone without that person. I don't know you but I swear I'm going...

    Cheating

    Just imagine her in a travellodge, checked in as 'Mr & Mrs Smith' being rattled repeatedly over a 7 year period and then ask yourself if it's worth saving. Not a good image.
