Today at work some kind of moron unplugged my workstation for some [wagon] reason because they believed it was "off" causing me to lose about 2 weeks worth of work that was still processing among other things. Boy o boy. The best part is, they didn't just do it to me, but literally every computer in the department, (it was a scheduled PAT testing, but no one was given any notification about it happening)

I'm so close to 27 can it wait a year so I can't get drafted pls I would say the odds are low that you'll get drafted just based on how we fight wars nowadays, but I recently learned that the US military is understaffed by several thousand as it is, when WW3 *isn't* happening, so who knows. The country with largest military budget is understaffed?

But absolutely no RS on Off-Topic

This probably belongs in a different part of the forum but no one will care. I'm looking to buy a new computer. Now I don't know a great deal about computer mahbobs and will likely get a custom built machine from overclockers (UK site) but I have a few specific requirements that I am looking to meet. Ideally the computer will be used primarily for my work, which will involving coding (python, R, C++) and compiling latex documents but majority of the workload would be dispatched to a computer cluster I have access to, currently I use £120 Chromebook to work remotely and I think I need a more robust workstation (and a table). I would also prefer it to be considerably zippy all things considered (I will be running Mint as my OS.) Therefore I think I will need a fairly mid-range machine for those purposes but I would also like to do a bit of "light" gaming on the side, which is where I think I need help :) What I am currently thinking is: Some form of i5 processor 2x ~250GB WD SSD or 500GB SSD An amount of RAM that will probably be 8GB. A GPU. The last GPU I had was a nvidia 630, and it's only now just become obsolete, nvidia 1050s are pretty cheap right now but are they any good? Although I suspect the type of games I would want to play could run on integrated graphics but I would like the option to play a "newer" game (from 2013 or something) The two SSDs would be used to swap between "Gaming" and "Work" mode because I am terrible at focussing on my work if I am able to simply open up a game (I lack will-power). So I want to separate the two uses of the PC, it sounds stupid but I'm set on it. The intention is to simply have the SATA cables poke out of the case and then swap between the two drives as and when. I am aware I could quite easily have both drives in the computer but the fact there will be a physical task that prevents me from loading up a game will probably dissuade me from playing one. Pls Halp. Peripherals and Motherboard will probably just be picked by whatever website I decide to throw money at to build the machine for me given the parts.

Just go with the old classic: 'Technically speaking mouth to mouth is ass to mouth.'

What Game(s) Did You Last Get and What Are You Playing?
Boris5000 replied to runescapeloser22's topic in Off-Topic
Have you played stardew valley at all? That was my first exposure to the genre, I never thought I'd be into something like that but then I played like 30 hours in 3 weeks lmfao it's ridiculous how addicting these kinds of games are I tried it some time awhile last year when i had no internet (or any furniture for that matter). I didn't like it as much as I am liking RF4. -

I finally bought Rune Factory 4 after much uhming and ahhing. I normally have no interest in Harvest Moon-style games but this one sort of enticed me as an entry to the genre. -
Quarter final 2 lets go boys!

Try going to a craft shop, the shop assistants would be able to help you. For watercolours I've only really used Windsor and Newton Cotman box sets, they are like $10 so its a pretty cheap investment. Don't really like acrylic so I can't say much.
