That's karma. I had an idiot manager who wanted me fired, he was fired instead, though I had to wait 2 painful years between the 2 events.

raider? :huh: This? I suspect someone spent the whole night trying to give this name a good excuse, but with second intentions. ;)

Pranking kids is the best because they cant stroke! :D

I suspect it is the MOBO as I could not isolate the problem by changing the storage, RAM (still have the old 4GB sticks) or the GFX. Any major component craping out will trigger the new build. Theres so much upgrades I could do on an old system that will be worth the money.

I had good colleagues being promoted to supervisors and they changed drastically in terms of behaviour. Where I trusted them before, they are now: - hinting at raises before the semester is up as a form of pressure to achieve objectives, and then they do not materialise - promoting new graduates above the rest of the team because they are relatives to VIP's - the urgency creep that causes disorganization on the agenda - Feeds unreliable info out of ignorance or inexperience - compromises himself with over optimistic delivery dates with his superiors and charges me responsible without previously discussing it - Every once a while there goes the threat of firing me or lower the performance evaluation - Force projects that are unviable or counterproductive that will only cause more work and lower efficiency - Treat their subordinates like garbage as a form of asserting himself - Excuses himself at the expense of the team for image promotion purposes This is commonplace practice in the current times, long are gone the times of respect at workplace, stability and well paid jobs (well for most anyway), predictable career paths or any sort of rules for progression (when they exist they often are left on paper only, nor the human resources have your best interests at heart, or the company's). This is because most people in leadership roles always try to please their superiors first, show projects are ongoing even if they are downgrades and/or a repeat of abandoned methodologies.

So, my I5 2500K is finally showing its age. After almost 6 years running without a hitch I started periodically having blue screens or freezes, for which I tried to fix in the BIOS by changing some stability options. Then last week it wouldn't finish booting up with artefacts showing up on OS loading screen and sticking there. So I disassembled it completely, cleaned the dust and put it back together. It booted up albeit with lots of hiccups along the way. It now starts somewhat normally but the frequency of the glitches leads me to believe they are accelerating eventually leading to its inevitable death. So... Time for a new build. Trouble is, Kaby lake and Zen are just around the corner and given the poor IPC improvements in the last 5 years I need to squeeze as much upgrade as I can by waiting for them to make a decision which one I will take then. So, considering I will make a new build for the next 6 years this is the guideline for the new system: -GFX: Likely will maintain my GTX970 and have it replaced when a new generation is released (I don't do upgrades in consecutive generations ever). -MOBO: not yet unveiled, it must support strong overclock abilities but do not want a $300+ plus monster (not going for quad SLI/crossfire thus I do not need to pay the premium for bandwidth on multiple PCI-E ports), likely from ASUS or Gigabyte -RAM: 32 or 64 GB of DDR4 depends how much money is left after buying the other components -CPU: Kaby lake, Zen FX edition (8 core) or Skylake-E, definitely want single core performance first, core count second. -Cooler: May keep the original If I choose Zen, they said it will be excellent, or an Corsair H80 if I go Intel. -Case: more or less decided on the Corsair Obsidian 750D airflow edition. -Storage: May byte the bullet for a 2GB SSD+8GB HDD -Drives: a single Blu-Ray writer usage: playing DCS, MWO, star citizen and run my monstrous excel files I use for work that take 15 minutes to process on my current build.

I have 2 Revell 1/72 typhy kits still in the box (with around 20 others). Sadly I never got around time to make them. But I also don't know what paint schemes I will choose (2 UK camos, german, Austrian and Spanish)

LMAO :D

Never seen one. Didn't know they were a thing till this post. o_O

they will never breed :D

Grumman's new aircraft (for how long?) This is supposed to be the T-38 replacement.

we used to have a ladder based on statistics a few years ago when we had proper export functionality for that. However many people disliked the stats existed and argued that was just serving egos and changing the way people fly.

Tonight over turkey. Whiskey tango foxtrot. :huh: vrSVfcPgBMg

It has a PW1900G engine, and the kicker is that the fan is gearboxed. :)

last week I walked around the KC-390. This week I had better hardware to take shots of the E190-E2 prototype off Farnborough. I wanst allowed to take pics from the passanger cabin but they let me take shot from the pit.

woa tough little bird, glad to know the pilots got out OK!

hehehehehe shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ;)

yup

The shots were taken at Alverca Airstrip where there is an aerospace company that repairs and manufactures aircraft structures.

Took these shots at work this week before the plane went to Farnborough. Sorry for the grainy shots (2 megapixel) but this is something Im addressing next week with a new Smartphone camera combo (16 megapixel). :)

PoAF this weekend. In case your wondering the missiles are live rounds.

He had a full life thankfully. RIP

try updating the firmware from another PC. I had mine stopped working then went to my sister's PC and it came alive again.

all this seems legit :D
