  1. I'd like to, but working on a side project right now. I might be on but not 100% sure
  2. You mean how much per month? or what does he have running for this? I know we never did any extra wiring other than for a mini-split AC system.
  3. With all the other information that came out a few months back, I was afraid that this would happen Oh well it saves me money for other games
  4. Oddly, I always felt bad for Banshee, the number at the back end of every Exo's name is how many times they have been wiped and reset. Sadly, the wipe doesn't clear out his entire memory cache, so he has fragments of things from pre-collapse. dude has lost 43 sets of memories, I think the vanguard need to stop jacking with the guy and just let him build weapons.
  5. Yea same here,
  6. Oddly, my titan still has the quest available. I was goign to ask for help with it today if people are available

    Yea its weird. I have never been a scout rifle person, but so many of htem have good perks on them now. AR's feel better than they did, but I don't think they are where they should be yet
  8. If you guys need help let me know. I want to down that fucker and get some phat lutes!
  9. Every day this week I have seen some really bad accidents on my way to work. This morning one happened in front of me. It happened at a T intersection, heading east, into the morning sun. There is a large hill just west, and the intersection is at the bottom of the hill. There are pretty massive oaks all over the road until you hit the intersection. It is a horrible place that eats cars like some giant mythic beast. Just driving through it, a feeling will come over you where you reflect on life and count the seconds until you are free of it all. Redneck Joe decided to just pull out onto the County Road and head east with the rest of us. He didn't pay attention to the old man in the faded blue pickup, or the young black kid in the Corolla, or the pile of cars behind them, that were all following way to close because the old man was driving slow. Old Blue pickup slammed into Redneck Joe, and then the Corolla rear ended the pickup, and then a Sewer truck hit the Corolla. By that time, all the tailgaters were able to stop or swerve. When I got out of my car, I saw that the back end of the rednecks truck had jumped up and was in the windshield of Old Blue. The old guy wasn't talking, or moving. I am pretty sure the black kid will have some sort of permanent injury. We couldn't get him to talk, but he was crying and trying to move, so we stopped him as best we could. Luckily for everyone, there is a fire station about a mile up the road in Marlow. They got their pretty quick, while the rest of us put out flares and were trying to keep traffic moving. So I say all that to say this. Most of us here are old hands at driving, to the point that I don't doubt most of us get tunnel vision and fire up the old auto-pilot on the way to and from work. I know I do. Knock that shit off. Pay attention and slow down, etc...... You young guys just now getting your license and shit. Its more impressive if you can reach the age of 25 without ever getting into an accident or having a speeding ticket, than it is to get some place in record time while you try to impress your jackass friends (I say jackass, as we all have jackass friends) Just flipping be safe out there

    I like the hung jury, but the Tuonela with FireFly is amazing I will be trying out the Boolean Gemini tonight though. I am not sold on the Fabian Strategy yet, sadly. It is fun to use, but body shots for 74-84 depending on range is pretty shitty IMO

    I think swapping Invective for Hereafter will be what I do on that phase now. Going to work for the Fabian Strategy next. 1 weapon bounty, and I will be able to start the quest.

    I can't remember the name of the damage buff that night stalkers get, but it is supposed to be really awesome for Warpriest. As well as the Daughters. It also stacks with Weapons of Light, but not the Sunbreaker damage buff

    Our experiences were radically different. Every death, that wasn't because of jumping, was all of a sudden, there wasn't ever a point where I was "sorta" damaged, or kinda okay. It was continually 100% -> 0% health. Red Death doesn't magically stop 100% damage from killing me in one shot. However, me, being able to spam grenades, and hammers faster (or even bubbles), can keep all of us alive longer.

    IDK man, the amount of super spamming you could do in there would be insane.

  16. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-10-06/solar-wind-reach-a-big-renewables-turning-point-bnef ~~Make the jump as the below copy/pasta doesn't include the graphics.~~ Wind power is now the cheapest electricity to produce in both Germany and the U.K., even without government subsidies, according to a new analysis by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). It's the first time that threshold has been crossed by a G7 economy.1 But that's less interesting than what just happened in the U.S. To appreciate what's going on there, you need to understand the capacity factor. That's the percentage of a power plant's maximum potential that's actually achieved over time. Consider a solar project. The sun doesn't shine at night and, even during the day, varies in brightness with the weather and the seasons. So a project that can crank out 100 megawatt hours of electricity during the sunniest part of the day might produce just 20 percent of that when averaged out over a year. That gives it a 20 percent capacity factor. One of the major strengths of fossil fuel power plants is that they can command very high and predictable capacity factors. The average U.S. natural gas plant, for example, might produce about 70 percent of its potential (falling short of 100 percent because of seasonal demand and maintenance). But that's what's changing, and it's a big deal. For the first time, widespread adoption of renewables is effectively lowering the capacity factor for fossil fuels. That's because once a solar or wind project is built, the marginal cost of the electricity it produces is pretty much zero—free electricity—while coal and gas plants require more fuel for every new watt produced. If you're a power company with a choice, you choose the free stuff every time. It’s a self-reinforcing cycle. As more renewables are installed, coal and natural gas plants are used less. As coal and gas are used less, the cost of using them to generate electricity goes up. As the cost of coal and gas power rises, more renewables will be installed. The virtuous cycle has begun. Source: Bloomberg Wind and solar have long made up a small fraction of U.S. electricity—about 5 percent in 2014. But production has been rising at an exponential rate, and those two energy sources are now big enough to influence when coal and natural gas plants are kept running, according to BNEF.2 There are two reasons this shift in capacity factors is important. First, it's yet another sign of the rising disruptive force of renewable energy in power markets. It's impossible to brush aside renewables in the U.S. in the same way it might have been just a few years ago. "Renewables are really becoming cost-competitive, and they're competing more directly with fossil fuels," said BNEF analyst Luke Mills. "We're seeing the utilization rate of fossil fuels wear away." Second, the shift illustrates a serious new risk for power companies planning to invest in coal or natural-gas plants. Historically, a high capacity factor has been a fixed input in the cost calculation. But now anyone contemplating a billion-dollar power plant with an anticipated lifespan of decades must consider the possibility that as time goes on, the plant will be used less than when its doors first open. Capacity Factors Take a Sharp Turn3 Source: Bloomberg, Data: BNEF Most of the decline in capacity factors is due to expensive "base-load plants that are being turned on less because of renewables," according to BNEF analyst Jacqueline Lilinshtein. Plants designed to come online only during the highest demand of the year, known as peaker plants, play a smaller role. In either case, the end result is that coal-fired and gas-fired electricity is becoming more expensive and the profits less predictable. The opposite is true of wind and solar, as well as new battery systems that can be paired with renewables to replace some peaker plants. Wind power, including U.S. subsidies, became the cheapest electricity in the U.S. for the first time last year4, according to BNEF. Solar power is a bit further behind, but the costs are dropping rapidly, especially those associated with financing a new project. Latest Solar Costs by State Source: BNEF, Annotated by Bloomberg The economic advantages of wind and solar over fossil fuels go beyond price.5 Still, it's remarkable that in every major region of the world, the lifetime cost of new coal and gas projects6 are rising considerably in the second half of 2015, according to BNEF. And in every major region the cost of renewables continues to fall.

    Yea, I am heavily looking at Red Death now. Although, if I go with Sunbreaker more often, I will most likely skip Red Death and go with Bad Juju. Having HoS available more often would be pretty nice. It is going to be a toss up for sure, Health or Super But as long as I got Matt there to revive me, I think Super will win out. HoS, grenades and sun spots are just way to helpful

    I used the shit out of Invective on the relay. The Ammo refill is pretty nice. I can see why they got rid of Icebreaker now. On the relay alone, scrounging for ammo on the way back was nerve wracking. If you could just regen it for hits on that boomer and the wizards, it would be so much easier.

    IDK about you guys, but I learned a lot last night. I need to rethink all of my gear, my spec, and my play-style. Also, Defender isn't nearly needed as much as I thought it would be. Hammer of Sol demo's the wizards in the relay, so next time I think Tommy and I should go on different rotations, so we are not stacking our abilities. I hope folks watching the stream had as much fun as the rest of us did during the jumping puzzles
  22. I am not a car guy by any stretch, but this is AMAZING
