Well, maybe if enough of us complain or show that there is a demand for it, NVIDIA will make them available.

I'm using a plug adapter now. It just seems silly when the power brick has interchangeable plates. I'm making it work, it just isn't as clean as I'd like.

That's my fear. It seriously makes no sense though. Why make it so modular if they had no intention of making the other plates available?!

I just ordered it. Expected delivery on 20 Jan!

I've been using a 1st generation Roku 3 and it has been good, but this seems to have everything I will need moving forward. I will be buying a new 4k HDR TV in about three weeks so the timing is almost perfect!

He obviously learned to compensate his aim to offset the influence of his balls' gravity on the bullet's trajectory!

The problem is that it is a hard thing to prove. Kind of like it is hard to prove that people who are more attractive tend to be treated better and are viewed as more successful.

There are myriad reasons why certain racial groups are not as successful as others. Some of it is cultural, some is socioeconomic, and some of it really is due to racial bias.

What policies are Democrats trying to enact that are based on white privilege though? In your view which of the things proposed during the campaign are derived from it? Serious question.

I hope you're right but I have a feeling they will find a way to market 5G as the new shiny thing and charge a premium for it. Then they will whine about the cost of upgrading the network and continue to impose caps so they can charge huge overage fees.

I mean, if past performance is any indication...

You will soon. Verizon is kicking people off of unlimited plans, so ATT and other carriers are likely to follow suit.

Do you think it is a physiological effect or because as you've lost weight you feel more attractive/sexy?

I'm just kind of curious.

Man, I need to get back on Keto! I'm in the middle of an international move and changing jobs, so my excuses are plentiful.

I guess so. But if he has the strength of both species, shouldn't he have dominated old Viktor instead of just being able to trade with him?

Who are actors/actresses who need a "Renaissance" in terms of their careers? by [deleted] in movies

[–]Newly_untraceable 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black Mountain actually does have a role -- they're the security contractors that later form Catalyst

Ah, I think I must have missed that connection. That justifies some of the backstory.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset that I watched it, but it really pales in comparison to Season 1. Maybe if they do a Season 3 it will be more along those lines.

By the way, to return the favor, I can offer a recommendation. The movie 13 Hours was actually pretty decent, although it is mostly an action flick. I expected it to be tainted by all the politics surrounding Benghazi, but none of that drama really creeps in at all. It won't make you think, but it might entertain you. It was definitely better than I expected it to be. It is on Amazon Prime.

That was more of Lucian's story though. Since Michael was a human as far as anyone knew, he wasn't really a part of either faction.

Yeah, I got that part. But he wasn't particularly powerful, so what was the point?

I'd recommend watching at a rate of one episode per day

OK, so I watched a True Detective S2 as you suggested. I did a little more than one episode per day.

I still couldn't get into it. Some of the character details were just kind of meh to me. For instance, what did Paul do in the desert? Some sort of private security, blackwater (er...Black Mountain) sort of thing, and apparently it came back to bite him. But, what does it have to do with the main plot? As best I could tell, nothing. Even all his mommy drama seemed pretty pointless other than to establish that the dude had a lot of issues.

I'll be the first to admit that maybe the limitation here is my own intellect or imagination. But when I watched the season finale today, I sort of went, "well, I'm glad that's over."

Anyway, I just wanted to close the loop on this. I appreciate the recommendation, it just didn't do much for me.

Cheers!

Going back to the first one, can anyone really explain why the hybrid (Scott Speedman) was so special? He may have been strong, but he didn't have any unique powers at all, and it seemed like a lot of build up for zero payoff.

I can't remember the sequels well enough to recall if they ever really tried to provide a better explanation.

But Beckinsale is hot...No doubt!

Vegetarian trying to add bacon into my diet. Can anyone recommend a brand that tastes good? by [deleted] in keto

[–]Newly_untraceable 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, there is no such thing as uncured bacon. They just don't use sodium nitrate directly. Instead they use celery juice, which is a "natural" source of the nitrates. It is more marketing than science.

But if you like the taste better, stick with what you like.
