    So something extremely saddening happened today. I was at work, surrounded by sales people (I work warehouse) and someone mentioned something about something called Home Premium. The words that came out of my mouth unironically were "I haven't heard of anything called 'Home Premium' since Windows 7." The sales people started dying laughing. I was confused.

    Our Apple guy says, "You're really showing your age there!"

    MFW Windows 7 is 10 years old

    MFW I'm an old fuck

    I still use Windows 2000 sometimes, if it makes you feel any better. Hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it!

    I'll use Vista from time to time, mainly because I just like it. I think it's a perfectly adequate OS (after Service Pack 1, RTM Vista really was ass).

    I enjoy watching The Smoking Tyre One Take series, so when I found out that the LA Canyons were available as a mod for Assetto Corsa, I bought said mod shorty after.

    Its amazing, I have never... ever.. ran out of fuel in Assetto Corsa before, but after 47 mins of blasting around in a manual V6 Lotus (assists off other than ABS), the engine cut out. There is so much road to explore, I am still at the point where it feels never ending, around 150km of road total!

    Genuinely awesome, its a shame it can't get any bigger due to floating point issues.

    For anyone wanting to take a look: https://www.racedepartment.com/downloads/la-canyons.15067/

    I haven't played the free version. But I have driven through a lot of the gates that are locked in the free version. I would say yes, since I'm not a big track racing guy, so I really enjoy AC maps that are based on roads. The multilayer is decent for high speed cruising too

    Smoker PCs are the most disgusting thing on the face of the planet.

    Come on guys, have a heart. Smoke outside. Don't let your PC get cancer, too.

    What, is it just really dirty?

    In general smoking is a bad idea. Don’t do it, kid.

    If I wanted to have a smoke inside I wouldn't be worried about my computer getting dirty.
    Anyone around here accustomed to nicotine? Anyone addicted?
    About two months ago I bought a Sourin Air, which is a little vaporizer. For 4 months before that I had a Juul. I never got addicted to the Juul because the pods are a fuckin ripoff which kept me from using it much. This Sourin is much cheaper to operate though, which let me begin the slide into addiction.
    I enjoy the effects, but nicotine is so easy to get addicted to its stupid. Your tolerance goes away very quickly, which leads to you dosing more and more to get the same effects. I noticed my tolerance was almost completely gone after about a week of light daily use. The addiction starts to set in just as quickly. It's just a shitty recreational drug.
    While it's extremely easy to get addicted to, it isn't hard to keep yourself from getting addicted either. Pretty easy to notice when you're starting to get addicted, at which point it won't be hard to quit. All it ever takes for me is a few days before I pretty much forget about it.
    Three days ago my friend and I bet each other $20 to abstain from nicotine for 3 months. I'm not gonna lose. I don't plan on continuing to vape after that, but I do enjoy the occasional smoke.
    I couldn't get addicted to cigarettes. Too nasty.

    It is absolutely CAKED in... actually, it's not tobacco smoke remnants, it's weed remnants. This thing smells like weed. And now my car smells like weed. It all smells like weed. Help.

    Yup, it's absolutely filthy inside. I've seen worse, but I've never touched worse.

    Yeah, that looks like bit too warm, I'm just getting used to -20F to 0F range, would not want such hot weather anytime soon, actually never above 5C.

    I should clarify that my comment was in reference to the fire raining from the sky, not the temperatures, they are pretty normal for this time of year. Plus I am really hoping for some good snow to have some fun cycling in.


    I am aware that they are most likely supposed to be Chinese lanterns.
