[Waffles vs french toast! Who will win.]

Give them NOTHING! But take from them EVERYTHING!

Doubters : This is madness!

French toast fans : This is FRENCH TOAST! ::boot::

[Waffles vs french toast! Who will win.]

I am going to go make french toast for breakfast right now as a protest to the injustice of the current state of the poll.

What's even better than french toast?

French toast and breakfast sausage!

[Forum Veterans [And New Members!]: What was your first post?]

My first post is my company thread, started on 1/16/2012. Still edited and updated today.

I saw KurtJMac playing KSP 0.13, got jazzed, immediately bought KSP (which cost $10 at the time) and started exploring.

[Graphics cards questions....]

When I was building my PC, I built it around the ability to crush two specific games, ARMA 2 and ARMA 3. Knowing that these games eat CPU cycles like crazy, I had to spring for Core i5 3570K to give myself a lot of overhead.

Most games are not that CPU intensive, however. Most games will work very well with a better than average, newish (~2 years or less) GPU and a bog standard average multicore CPU (although single threaded performance is something to pay attention to for games).

[Graphics cards questions....]

Yeah go with at least Radeon R9 270, anything cheaper is not worth your time. On the Nvidia side, I can't tell you because I don't give a crap about Nvidia.

(yes, I'm a Radeon fanboy because I gotta keep up my Radeon cred, been using ATI/AMD graphics for 17 years and counting)

[Graphics cards questions....]

I might also mention that an AMD APU + GPU Crossfire combination is a cheap way to get good graphics performance - if you motherboard supports it. OP never said whether they were using AMD or Intel, I might add.

[Hot Dogs vs Hamburgers! Who will win?]

Hamburgers bro what r u a communist or something?

(that was supposed to be in all caps for effect but party pooper vbulletin won't let me)

[Waffles vs french toast! Who will win.]

That's one hell of a typo. It's spelled "syrup".

You're not talking about corn syrup with some bullsh*t artificial flavoring in it, are you?

[Waffles vs french toast! Who will win.]

French toast, no contest.

IT'S DRENCHED IN EGG FOR GOSHSAKES. Delicious with real maple syrup.

[~ awesome aircraft thread ~]

Has anyone mentioned this deathtrap yet?

Messerschmitt Me 163 Komet

An aerodynamically guided rocket with a cockpit. Launched via a detachable undercarriage. 31,000 feet per minute climb rate. Had a nasty habit of exploding upon landing.

[Newest destruction at Nazca]

I can't say what I really think due to the board rules on political posts...but needless to say, yes, I disapprove strongly.

The X-31 laughs at the SU-27's "super maneuverability"

Grumman X-29 http://marcelofaria.files.wordpress.com/2010/05/14.jpg

Mach 1.5+ at 55,000 feet... stable. a whole decade before the beastly SU-47 came to the scene.

Everything in its own time, my friend.

Of course, American engineers are a breed apart.

[~ awesome aircraft thread ~]

Messerschmitt Bf 110

Heavy fighter, night fighter, fighter-bomber. All around "johnny-on-the-spot" for Hermann Göring's Luftwaffe.

[Ways to convince people that the Moon landings were real]

Only one question for the conspiracy nuts -

Are you calling Neil Armstrong a liar?

[What web browser(s) do you use, and why?]

I've used Chromium exclusively for a few years now - mostly because I was very enamoured with Google's vision for a browser when it was first announced (single process tabs, interface responsiveness, extensions) but I can do without the corporate snooping into my browsing history etc.

I use Firefox as a secondary browser and I've used it as my main browser before switching to Chrome/Chromium. Before that Camino (Mac OS X exclusive, Gecko-based browser), before that Safari. I could go farther back, but it gets less and less relevant.
