Hue white E27 starter set, and now I want more bulbs. This could get expensive.

 

Asus GTX980Ti Strix OC & EVGA Reference GTX980Ti. I'm impulsive, impatient and a bit unsettled but at least I eventually got the card I intend to keep for the next couple of years (the EVGA one, not the Strix pictured).

 

A cheap multimeter from amazon...think it's safe to use?

 

Seems legit.

 

Just remember to hold it if you want to hold it, as the double insulates so you should be ok. All you've got to worry about is the dangerous electric current I'd say. And mind that big signal voice, of course. Go for it.

 

Dem double insulates. You'll be fine!

 

Yep, it's twice as classy

 

Most of the other currencies were largely the same, but both Mexican pesos and Russian roubles were notably cheaper. I don't pay any forex surcharges on my card so even better

No separate pay AV. With the latest version, Malwarebytes say you don't need a separate AV any more. They also say that they still play nice other other AVs, so I've left windows defender running as well, as I can't see any reason to not.

 

Got these using the money the missus and I got for Christmas

 

Helps to keep the angry pixies in place and dancing in the proper circles...

 

I've been looking at the Bose Solo myself, currently I've got a JBL100 soundbar but it is a bit rubbish. I constantly have to fiddle with it to get anything approaching decent. Let me know how you get on with the Bose please!

 

Want. Pretty much the setup I'm considering to upgrade to.

 

Flights for the next two weeks...

London -> Copenhagen - > Amsterdam - > London
London - > Kuwait -> Dubai - > London

The latter being approximately half the price as the former

 

Truth. Short hops in the EU is so f**king expensive compared to the rest of the world.

 

My step daughter can fly to Aus cheaper than flying around the EU.

 

Luxembourg and Brussels are particularly insane, regularly £600+ at short notice.

If I was only slightly less flexible around flight times for the LHR/CPH/AMS trip, it would have been double the cost again. Meanwhile BA are gradually eroding benefits and service across the board. Don't even get me started on parking at Heathrow!

 

And the included sandwich is no longer there, instead you have the privilege of of buying an M&S one on the plane for a higher price than on the high street

Air travel is so grim now.

Picked up some Sweet Almond and Coconut oils, massages what can I say?

 

Hold still.

 

Figured I may as well do a quick painting of the reference 980Ti I bought since it's going to be running Photoshop most of the time. LOVE the reference cooler btw... but it's coming off as soon as the Palit Jetstream cooler arrives.

 

Nice cards - even better with an EVGA Hybrid cooler on
