Xtreme

Quality, not quantity Pete!

Here's my everyday driver, needed for hauling lots of people and a dog to my fav hiking spots. Explorer Limited V8, all options except for NAV.

Here's one of my toys:

yeah, that's basically what I do for living, I hate guns lol LOL....believe me, I know first hand. I love nades too - I'd rather be blown up in game than shot. I actually miss you and Spanky nading me!

Kanthol ribbon....hummmm...I might have to experiment with that in my Zenesis. Are vaping pure VG? That'd be way too hot of a vapor for me! On my MonkeyBoxx I'm vaping 4.5v with an Ikenvape i06 3.5 ohm HV atty. I've actually burned my lips and tongue at 5.3v when I tried it for a couple days. LOL I don't like a hot vape, I like cool, thick and creamy vapor.

Nice job Joe! Did you get many nade frags?

My father played COD and a ton of other games all the way up until his death at 75 a few years ago. Even when he didn't want to frag with my brother and I, he'd connect onto the servers and spec all night. He said it was better than watching TV.

My condolences.

What model and year? It's a manual? Dude, those are cheap to fix in comparison to a new car. Even an automatic rebuild should be cheaper at a tranny shop....just stay away from the BMW dealer.

Good fragging with you all! It's been a lot of fun over the years. XI has some great members that have given me many laughs! Spanky is the definitely the nade king but I think I blew him up more than a few times too. BOOM Artimus - Always giving me a tough game! YOU ROCK BRO! WW was fun too! Pete - See above! Your a tough fragger! Vanhelsing - The prone master, you're tough to hit! GGz OldMan - Thanks for covering those spawns with mines. I think you mine killed me more than spanky! Logan - Way to hang in there, you keep going to matter what and definitely had some nice streaks where you'd frag me 10 times in a row. Diggler - Excellent K98 battles bro...always fun. Shoutouts to some other great folks: 12nickels, wero, Legionaire, JoeCanadian (awesome fun man), CampDaddy, Viper (bullfuckingshit), Spiv (K98 hobag, nice!), DamagePlan (another good K98er)...and my man Sherm....a very cool cat that plays for nothing more than pure fun. I think you definitely have the record for consecutive Xtreme frags dude. It seems like there were many maps where I was the only person you killed! GREAT FUN my friend, great fun. Thanks to XI for providing such a great server. I have been blessed with a 10-20ms ping (gotta love fiber!) to their Chicago server. As a former admin and co-owner of many servers over the years, I do know how much time, effort and $$$ goes into such a venture. I sincerely appreciate you guys providing an excellent gaming atmosphere in terms of quality AND company. THANKS! GGz - X

New graphics cards are always a good thing. It means the other cards will all drop in price.

Are you just trying to add a second hard drive while leaving the original install on the old drive? Or are you trying to install windows to the new drive? Besides what others have mentioned about trying a PS/2 style keyboard, you might be having problems installing the OS to the new drive if it's configured to use AHCI. You'll need the AHCI drivers on a flash drive and use the "specify additional drivers" option during the OS setup......if that's your problem.

Here's my yellow lab....she's awesome! A pro at hiking and rock climbing.

Ridiculous....the USA is going to shit with PC.

I've always used the Microsoft uninstaller clean-up utility, which I think has now been discontinued....it worked great. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2438651

Be wary of the latest version of the reg cleaner in CCleaner! It mistakenly deletes needed firewall rules that will hose a PC. Not sure if they've fixed it yet, but it has been a problem.

How about removing the delay between weapons changes? I've always hated that in all FPS games and loved all mods that set it to zero delay. It makes it a lot easier to change to the next gun.

Dead on brother! BTW - I think you meant "left wing liberals". Most of us on the right are for private gun owners. Most of those on the left are against guns and love big government.....the complete opposite as me. LOL

First time I heard an BS like that. Sounds like something an anti-smoker made up. There is NO OIL in ejuice. (a quote someone made about the same subject) There are a lot of individuals mislead about what PG is, or what e-cig juice is. It is simply a low glycemic sugar, like veggies, and is totally safe,yet the FDA wants; to condemn e-cig juice as everything from antifreeze to poison.....YET The FDA has it listed as a approved food source ? (give me a break) Is it an antifreeze? Yup! So is alcohol. Anything added to a mix that slows freezing is consider to have anti freezing qualities. It is NOT what is in the radiator of your car, or what some might use to off the neighbors cat that pisses on your front porch. What the FDA did find was a few tainted carto's with a very small percentage of real antifreeze in them, toa level that was absolutely harmless. This was way back in ~2008 or so. The industry policed itself and there hasn't been an incident since. It was all the ammo they (thought they needed to start a barrage of anti e-cig following, and they have been getting other org's following their FDA lie. Including the Lung Assoc, Military Services, Politicians looking for tax dollar, and I'm just touching the iceberg tip. PG has antibacterial/antimicrolal qualities and is even considered to help prevent diseases in miniscule amounts. That was one study used forfinding what mist to pump into hospital ventilation heating systems, and is now used in hotel systems as well. It is used in fog machines at concerts, and was heavily tested for long term effects by OSHA, many years back. The studies are out there. I suggest if you do want to vape VG instead (which I do, because of the added fog qualities of it) that you mix a touch of PG with it for the bacterial properties. I don't know for sure if it will stave off disease in our use, but suspect it will. It staves off pneumonia for one. Soit sure can't hurt. For a little background, I am a chemist, been working for over 25 years. I have done extensive research into the ingredients used for ejuice. PG (propylene glycol) is extremely safe. It has been studied in humans for decades. As you mentioned before, I believe it was in the 50's that they did research at a hospital and they found PG worked to sanitize the air. As I recall, even the EPA has a reference to it. PG is fairly expensive, so that likely ended the project even though it was proven to work very well. I too like the vapor production of VG (vegetable glycerin). The difference is the carbon chains are much longer in VG (higher viscosity) compared to PG (VG is a mixture of various chain lengths). USP grade PG and VG are about 99.5% pure, Both VERY clean materials. However, VG is quite a mixture of glycols so I prefer PG. When I'm dluting my ejuice I typically use a mix of 50/50 PG/VG and the vapor production is strong. I always recommend using some PG in any vape to bring down the viscosity and it will help increase your atomizer life.

Hummmm....the world didn't end, surprize, surprize.

I would tread lightly discussing this on a public forum.

Ted sums it up for me: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUIXH9DeCRU

Based on past gun buybacks, NONE of those guns that Chicago took in could probably be fired. That's the repeating scenario at ALL of the buybacks. Folks bring in their absolute garbarge that they couldn't sell for $20 to have the taxpayers buy them for $200+. In fact, I know of several "collectors" that go looking for garbage guns for the explicit purpose building an inventory for profit at the taxpayers expense when the stupidass cops decide to waste our money on propaganda. One more point, if someone is hellbent on killing someone, it's not just a gun that will be the weapon of choice. A baseball bat, a knife or a pipe will do the job just as well. I hate to cliche, but GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. You could confiscate every fucking gun in the country and the murder rate won't change. Criminals will be the only ones left with guns (they will use them too) when our legal rights are stripped by liberal-peacenic dolts. If you want to reduce crime and murder, make it a law that EVERYONE has to carry. That will make 99% of the idiot criminals think long and hard before they commit a crime. It's funny, when you know there's a good chance you'll die during committing a crime, you'll probably give up the idea. Think about it this way - How many times have you heard of some dumbass trying to go into a police station or military base to steal? Obivously, they don't because the odds of dying are so high. Conversely, think about some old lady or whimp walking down the street alone, an easy target, However, if it was manditory to carry a gun, even those types of people would become far less ripe as targets and criminals would think twice (or three times) about robbing them knowing there's a good chance the intended victim will resist or even kill them.
