  1. Re:Showers on Taking Telecommuting To the Next Level - the RV · · Score: 1

    Most good RV's have showers. heck mine has a full bathroom and a queen sized real bed in a bedroom. Leave the cap on the Grey water tank but drill a 1/4 inch hole and tap in a small petcock valve. so your grey water tank drains all over the road as you drive or when parked. dont be a dusche and do this to the black water.

    I can get you one right now for $14K. It's even the convertable M3, the REAL 3 series not the 3 series for poor people like the 325i.

    Granted it's used, but they are everywhere. Hell I saw a BMW 740 for sale on craigslist for under $9K.

    " Imagine things like Skyrim in 4K."

    Oh boy. Low poly count 3d with bad textures in high res! ooohh...

    I would rather see Skyrim done on a good 3d engine using at least 9000 polygon count models and decent textures on a 720P screen before seeing them phone it in on a 4K screen.

    I'll take a console game machine that is able to use the Unreal4 engine and have at least 4 i7 quad core processors so it can do photo realistic rendering in low res first.

    as there is NO 4K content out there, nor will there be any for a long time.

    We had 720P sets for nearly 5 years before people could buy BluRay players or even tune in a HD channel in their area.

    "These things aren't generally just a flat lump sum payment. And a lot of it I'm sure military members can opt out of, probably for some negligible increase in base pay. Military families aren't left to twist in the wind when their service member dies. "

    I love your fiction, you should write more books.

    Le'ts switch to reality, show me ONE family that dad died in iraq and is doing great. because I can show you HUNDREDS that are struggling hard, and that is just in my area alone. Maybe if you actually talked to these people you would understand that what congress prints on paper is not what is reality.

    They ARE left to twist in the wind. The VA is useless to most vets and they give substandard care because they are massively underfunded. And families are destitute after their bread winner dies for this country.

    How about hiring COMPETENT developers to begin with? the companies that have those problems have the fault lie with the management. managers that cant actually manage, pay scale for the actual developers is too low, budget for the department or project is too low, and the upper management focus is not on quality, but on profitability.

    Yeah, let's lay blame on the guys that are actually doing the work. In reality, every failed project has the person managing it to firmly blame for it's failure.

Slyrim is nothing but a grindfest, In fact it's no different than Oblivion right down to the massive bugs you find everywhere. yes I tried it and have several friends sucked into that time waster.

    If they had a better storyline path that was actually HARD and required though to solve puzzles and tactics for battle other than ,stab,stab,stab,fireball,stab,stab,stab... I would be interested. But if you grind around until you are level 20 the story path is effortless. Oh ho hom, a big boss. Smack he is dead.... Yay more magical ebony armor...
