    I've never seen so many different models of cars in one police force.

    Speaking of police cars, a county somewhere around here apparently bought a bunch of new Tahoes.
    I need to get my hands on one of those here in a few years when they're at auction.
    Topkek the first one.

    I love how she's also wearing a reba shirt.

    Is it bad that i am currently feeling too lazy to constantly open and close my window to keep the heat pleasant in my room so instead i am just getting my PC to repeatedly render 4k images in Blender across both GPU's when it gets too cold. It makes for a great foot warmer :p

    I need to get it automated. Whenever my room is cold ensure the computer is running at least at 80% utilization. Could possibly even integrate it with some folding at home system. For example:

    You buy a £3/$5 usb dongle that has a thermistor and a potentiometer (so you can set temperature) to form a voltage divider (or some very basic circuit along those lines). Then whenever the PC gets an input (output of divider goes high) it will check to see if the computer is already doing anything strenuous, if not launch a folding application until the room temperature increases and stop once the temperature is back up again. They sell the dongle at bomb cost just to get them out there and have a huge grid of super computers where the byproduct (heat) is actually being used rather than people trying to remove it from their houses.

    I can almost imagine a future where every house has one beast computer and then has a couple terminals that can access it, you could then have the computer as the houses heating system because computers can get warm. Then the company that makes your main PC will have a system where they install the computers for a reduced price but with the agreement that all unused processing power is available to third party's to use. So they would loose money on the computer they install but earn way more back because they have a huge grid of computation power which they can leverage or sell, especially in winter.

    Quick, to the patent office :p

    Not really sure why you would be eating matzo then.

    Since I don't know religion well enough to talk about it, I'm just gonna bring up annother topic.

    Soo I've just been watching "a bit"(about 3 hours) of Gameplay for Mario Party 10, and I'm thinking about buying it. Only problem is, I don't have a WiiU.
    Would it be worth it to buy a WiiU just for Mario Party, or is it better to buy another console or just stick to PC?

    Just download an older copy of mario party for the original wii and emulate it on your PC using Dolphin. I cant suggest buying a console for 1 game, but if you also fancy bayonetta and mario kart then it may be worth it.

    Thanks for your help! I'm also thinking if I just buy an XBox One instead. I'm quite a big fan of Forza and GTA V alone is enough for me to really badly want to own one.
    Than again, you can't play things such as Mario Party or Mario Kart on it.
    I'm just not very good at making decisions.

    GTA V is coming to PC in less than two weeks and any half decent PC will be able to run it. Forza is most likely coming to PC this year or the next. Not worth buying a $400 console to play a game which will probably be on PC anyway.
    If your PC can't run GTA V, spend the $400 on a new graphics card instead. You can get a 960 for $200.

    I think my PC will be fine. Can't upgrade anything anyways cause it's still got warrenty till the end of 2016 :|
    And, like I said, I'm pretty much the worst when it comes to making decisions, wich is why I asked on the forum.

    Unless it has some seal that voids warranty if removed, you can just keep the old part and put it back in if anything breaks.
