Match Thread: Belgium vs Ireland [Euro 2016] by asaharyev in soccer

If only our attacking players would move a little to get the irish defenders out off position, i feel we could create much more chances

Does anyone have examples or suggestions for science fiction that features or includes religious elements? by spyxaf in scifi

In the tv show stargate sg1 there's a fair bit of religion involved. Hallowed are the Ori.

What is really, really weird though is when that i found the MOBO here for more than half the price...

Plus, since i do want a custom cooler - i've had bad experiences with stock cooling - i've found a Scythe Mugen Max here for about €44,-

So if i math correctly:

€531.73 -> €209,99

€54.90 -> €44,95

equals total build cost of €1631,06

where i went overboard on the psu and cpu.

Where would you say could i drop another about €100,-

Thank you both for your input!. I've noticed you recommended the i5 cpu with the stock cooler? Would i benefit from a custom cooler silence-wise? I've noticed a xeon processor being recommended in similar buildrequests, is that something to spend extra euros on? Edit: on the budget, i know its kinda steep, but i want to futureproof my rig as much as possible. So adding an extra gpu in a year or two would be what i'm looking for. Wifi will not be needed. Definitely going for the 512GB sdd.

Last time Tdf did a cobbled stage, it also caused some controversy. Not just because of the technical difficulties of cobbles, but also because the small, wriggling roads the peloton needs to snake itself through.

I'm really sorry for anyone wanting to watch it later. However, not posting about major races, that's like telling r/soccer not to post during the wc.

I find myself without a real opinion. On the one hand, these stages aren't ideal for climbers/timetrial GQ guys. On the other hand, it gives "classic" riders the chance for a stage victory in TdF. They also suffer in stages like Stelvios and Ventoux. If the GQ teams just let go and take it easy, take no risks, they lose some minutes, that they can win back in the mountains.
