    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?

    Just make sure you google your question thoroughly because SO users are big stinkers :), including me.

    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.

    Well incase TIF (and specifically Off-Topic) goes down permanently I have made a subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TIF_OFFTOPIC/ . We probably won't need it but just incase.
  8. Just go with the old classic: 'Technically speaking mouth to mouth is ass to mouth.'
  9. 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.
  10. 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.

    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.

    If the labour government is described as one that spends money, then the conservative government, by definition should be one that conserves money. But in reality that isn't the case. Infact in the 7 years of lies, and cuts and all round lunacy the deficit has grown, but it is still somehow labours fault. :rolleyes: (Boris5000 is in no way a Politician or an Economist - Just a poor boy from a poor family.) The last labour government (ala Blairite Labour), was a peculiar breed that was essentially Center-Right Left (Tories being Center-Right Right). That labour essentially crumbled when the recession hit and w.e money was available needed to be used to bailout banks. Now we have a labour that we could actually call socialist (Left, but not as left as the green party) that is committed to spending money in the NHS and Education, a leader who is described as "radically" left, un-electable, a terrorist sympathiser and someone who would run the country into the ground. But he was continuously elected the leader of the labour party (atleast twice). He is more interested in peaceful resolutions for conflict. And at least attempting to give the working class of the United Kingdom a chance. What really [bleep]ed me off, was when one of the live debates essentially boiled down to "Jeremy Corbyn, why won't you kill millions of innocent people with nuclear weapons? Theresa May said she would do it in a heartbeat, but you refuse!". What also [bleep]ed me off is that the people who rely on the public services would rather have voted Tory just because they didn't like Corbyn. Edit: I need a few more [bleep]s. [bleep] [bleep] [bleep]

    As it stands, depending on which side of the fence you sit it is 'good' for both sides. The Conservative leader "lost" the election (lost too many seats, to not obtain complete majority), but still won. And the Opposition (Labour) "won" the election (gained more seats but not enough for a majority, even with a minor-opponent coalition) but nonetheless lost. To reach a majority, the conservative party is attempting/succeeded in forming a coalition with a NI party the DUP. The kicker here is the conservative campaign spent most of the time slating the opposition leader for being a terrorist sympathiser - then the conservative party upon not reaching a majority then (attempts to) form a coalition with the DUP (which is backed by terrorists, apparently (according to my social media bubble and reddit, such research)). And according to slogans from the DUP they expressly implied that they were not going to listen to the Tories "Vote for people who listen to you and not listen to the tories" (OWTTE). In total I believe there was essentially 2,500 votes (counting the constituencies that have narrows vote margins) that mattered between whether a labour majority (or Labour/SNP/LD coalition) would win - and I feel bitter about it. As someone deeply invested in Science, A hard brexit is potentially catastrophic for my growth as an academic in the United Kingdom. And the results of this election closes some doors for me, and a lot more for others. n.b. Nothing is really confirmed yet. So I crying prematurely. I would like a re-election tbh. EDIT: Also I should add, that now that there is a stronger opposition it is likely that certain policies which are particularly bad will be unlikely to make their way out of parliament.
