That depended heavily on the game. For example, Command & Conquer 3. It played MUCH better on the 7800 than the X800. Even Crysis performed better on the 7800.

Yeah, but I had the severely cut-down GS version. It was slower than the X800, much hotter and louder as well. Not to mention that I couldn't even do a cooler swap because of its unique mounting hole pattern.

but Elon's influence and say will probably go a long way among a group like that.

That's not a bad thing. I think Elon is a good thing for Twitter..

I had both of those BITD. Again, it was dependent on the game. And I think you might be thinking of the X1800 instead of the X800.

Any UK lads here want to make 500 quid? Let me stay in a spare room you have for 5-6 weeks so I can use the room as a base to travel from? Since my lady friend has cancelled on me, I stayed with her 6 weeks in 2019, but she is taking this job loss hard, and there is no chance at all now.

No refunds on my flights or bus. I still want to see England though, with or without her. I need a cheap room to stay in though, I can't afford airbnb for 6 weeks.

Any takers?

Nope, I had one of these bad boys.

Maybe the loud cooler on the 7800 GS left such a sour taste in my mouth that I don't remember how fast (or slow) it actually was.

I loved the X800 a lot more, that's for sure.

Only if I had a spare room.

Although, I can hook you up with one of the letting agencies if you're considering the Midland area as your base of operations. They specialise in letting rooms for 90-110 quid a week. They deal with short-term lettings as well (at least they did when I lived in one of their rooms a couple years ago).

This is not a bad idea. My relatives live in Shropshire, but do not have room for me since their son recently got married and had a kid.

Would they do a short term lease of 7 weeks for an American or do you have to have British Citizenship? I'd be able to pay all 7 weeks up front... 700 quid wouldn't be end of the world, at least I wouldn't have to cancel my trip... and I could just take buses around to villages/towns to sight see.

I'm pretty sure they'd be OK with that. One of my neighbours was a lady from Canada. Heck, even I'm not a British citizen (although I do have settled status and a full-time job). This is their website.

It's worth a try. Worst they can say is no or be out of my budget range. Thank you

No worries. Let us know how it went with them.

I'm also considering saying fuck it, grabbing some hiking boots, a poncho, a hiking backpack and walking all the fucking way from London airport to Lake District, perhaps I will write some poetry as the great writers of old did as well. It will be one hell of an adventure, hopefully I don't get robbed by some teenage dipshits with low iq's, I'm more afraid of that than I am actual murderer type people. lol

England seems fairly safe for solo hiking from what I can gather. Google maps should take me where I need to go, and stop at local cafes in every village I pass to charge up and eat/drink/shit.

YOLO boys

Yep, England is safe if you avoid city centres and a few other dodgy places. If you really wanted to YOLO it, you could just rent a caravan, park it somewhere in the Scottish Highlands and enjoy being miles away from the nearest homo sapiens. Hmm, I'm getting some ideas...

care to share with me some caravan rental websites? i wouldn't even know where to start. its prob not within my budget though. airbnb is $1500 min for 7 weeks... just too much for me.

I was thinking maybe hiking, with bus to travel, with airbnb maybe one or two nights a week in between the hiking.

I don't know much about caravan rental, to be honest, though I think that's a bit expensive, too. A short-term room rental is probably your best bet, imo.

9.2% is NOT majority shares in anyone's book...

It would appear that no other individual has such a large piece of the cake so he now holds the "most" although I assume that if all the others voted against him he might be left thinking ........ "damn where did all my $$$$$ go"

 

[FreedomEclipse]

If any of you got any blood money. Now would be a great time to launder it

My TV antenna's just blown over Not we've powered on our tv in the last 4 or 5 years to watch anything mind you.

R. I. P Jack Higgins.

Ive read many of his books.

 

[Space Lynx]

Also, you all pay a 20% tax apparently? You get universal healthcare... I pay 23% income tax in America and I don't get jack shit. What a scam man.

It actually ends up being about 35% when you tack on things we don't pay stateside. However, your point is valid. I would love to pay an extra 10% to get the healthcare they have. It would be a MASSIVE discount from what I pay now for my family and employees.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well this was a bit of a strange interaction

And yes - it was the same guy replying to himself on the Q&A section of a local business on google maps.

Just when I thought having a conversation with yourself is the best way to avoid disagreements.

Other topic: Do you guys know anything about Tekshop247.com? I'm eyeing a Sapphire Pulse RX 6400 for my HTPC, but I've only managed to find it on their site.

Edit: I also found it on Kikatek.com, which I also don't know anything about. Any ideas, experiences?

I would trust Kikatek more than tekshop247, i may have used Kik before

I too have used kikatek. Albeit many moons ago.

Their website looked pretty ancient if I remember correctly.

Don't think ive used them since I ran two ATI 5850s in xfire.

That's why and how they vote 'yes' on more and more idiotic laws each year. They probably don't even have a clue of what they're voting on.

Thanks guys. In the meantime, they took the 6400 off their website, but I managed to order it from ebuyer.

I honestly believe those in power miscalculated how many people England can hold population wise. As much as I love England, the traffic is insane here, even in smaller towns. I wonder if anyone ever considers the mathematics of x amount of people and y amount of land... cause I don't think they do.

I will always love England, but eh. I miss no traffic of my small town home in the Midwest.
