Other What currently makes your life awesome?

Starting a 4-day weekend in 30seconds. Going to Gamescom in Cologne!

 

I might start ordering parts tomorrow for my new build. Will be nice to eventually play on something other than ultra low settings

 

Doom on Vulkan gets the same performance in eyefinity as it does on single screen.

It makes it seem even more frantic, which is awesome.

 

This is one of my frustrations. I haven't built a computer in forever, and I've never built one with an Intel CPU and I'm feeling more than a little intimidated. I'm looking at an Asrock X99 Extreme 4 for the Mobo, but I have no idea what CPUs are compatible with it or where the price / value sweet spot on CPUs is now. I specced an i7-5820k, but am having a hard time with the $400 price tag.

Not sure if I'm just getting old, but this seems harder than it used to be.

 

Had my ears Irrigated today and my word the difference is mental, I can hear again, was life always this noisy?!

 

Making lunch today and I'd left my phone in my office. I get back to my desk and find I've had a missed call, and voicemail, from a recruitment agent. A new role has come up that they're putting me forward for, but while I'm talking to this guy I get a call waiting notification. At the same time I'm talking to one recruiter I've got another one on hold offering me an interview.

Nice to be wanted.

 

Finally figuring out who Clare Balding reminds me of.

 

Finding out what really caused a shake up at cisco and passing that on to a person whose wife just got sucked off her feet into a job at juniper.

Helping (provisioning) a person all alone in Toyko with the Michel Thomas Japanese method. Him speaking to me the next day with an hour already done (of the course), and warm call for around 25 minutes with a thought dump about the topic generally. Guy is super smart hard working and humble and I am going to spend my own money to see he gets a solid chance at his role on going, even if the place is a nuclear disaster zone and should be evacuated.

A guy that was rude to me and totally in the wrong. Getting the issue he alone caused resolved in my fav after he called himself the "victor" and a case supposedly closed with his funds returning to his bank account . several agents confirming I am in the right, tomorrow I just have to refuse a return to seller as agreed. what bad people can do to random strangers with clear English detail the aspects and yet they refute... wake up call in bound in T minus......thank god.

The truth of Hillary Clintons health and chances at presidency waning even thou I stand to lose a few K, WHEN I NEED A FEW K!!

Helping a thirsty out of it dog (pitball) with a whole heap of water during the week when its owners were comatose out of it (on cardboard boxes).


Living in London!!
Truly a wonderful city, a place of Business, Fun, Family, Safety, Transport, Country side nearby, Good Food, Good entertainment, Fast Internet, Good governance and oversight. Wonderful policing and a sense of purpose.


There is no place like London anywhere!






.

 

I've gotta say, London is tops.

Bit pricey, though.

 

London is a shithole, the air stinks, the streets are a rats nest and its full of arrogant tossers up their own arse.

 

Of course, when 2017 comes round there will be something else new on the horizon...

 

And the tube is hateful.

 

Right now I'd take the tube over 'Metro Apologises'...

[London is still a toilet of a place though...]

 

+1. I can't believe I spent the first 27 years of my life there thinking it was the whole world.

 

£350 tax rebate, yay.

I was in London a couple of months ago, I couldn't get out quick enough. It's the capital of a country it has nothing in common with. Any foreign tourist who has only visited London and says they've been to Britain is severely mistaken.

 

Living in london is better than visiting.

There is so much more occurring which you don't discover when you are just doing the tourist shite.

My quality of life is so much better than in a small town.

 

And what metric did you evaluate in order to reach this conclusion?

I'd hate living there, so my quality of life in London would be atrocious. "Quality of life" is about as subjective as it gets, so don't p!ss on someone else's chips just because their choices don't suit you.

 

- Availability of stuff to do, paid and for free all within reasonable distance in terms of time.

- My commute is a lot easier than out in the stick than with public transport so I'm happier

- I'm earning much more because I have access to a specific industry found here, rather than in the sticks

Also back at you bud. QoL metrics can be measured many ways but I call regular trains to/from work a huge advantage when I used to sit about for 40 minutes to travel less than 10 miles.

Also driving is a chore in the south east, the rarity in which I do need to go out i take public transport and enjoy the journey. Might even read the paper.
