The Lounge / Re: Beer - prices, brands and shapes over Europe
« on: Thursday, March 17, 2016, 09:09:32 AM »
I only buy 0.33 bottles or cans of particular beers that don't come in bigger bottles (or the ones that are expensive). Like Orval, Blanche de Namur (does come in 0.5 cans but they're not so common in shops) and other brewes from Belgium.

P.s. man this has become a huuge off-topic.
P.s. 2 now sorted. Hopefully Teddy doesnt mind? We were going wildly off topic ^^'
I was thinking this myself as well, but I guess I'm more of a thinker than a doer (?). It's great you separated this :)

Off all the places i've been in Europe, Switzerland is by far the most expensive one. I payed for five beers in a pub 50 CHF, it's like 46 or 47 €'s. It's insanely pricey there, however i 've never been to nordic countries (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden) i've been told that's also quite costly.
I've been to Iceland (like 7 years ago I think) and it was expensive, but I'm pretty sure it has gone about as expensive here now. It's hard to compare prices from different time periods... the money tends to lose value.

I've hear the Czechs are generally told to be the most beer-drinking country :)
I remember my brother went there around 15 years ago and the beer cost 3 CZK (around 0.11€), but I'd be willing to bet the prices have gone up since then.

We used to have a 1 liter can, but it was discontinued. Personally I didn't like it either.
I think 0.33l cans can be good if you're slow drinker (I don't have this problem) - you drink your beer before it goes stale. However, smaller than that I don't really get...

Hehe I was wondering how you found their prices so high, I didn't notice the same but now I see. In Finland 0,5l basic lager is usually around 5€ ( 4£ ), can easily be over 6€ as well. I always wonder how this country can be so damn alcoholic with these prices :D
That's in a pub then?
In Estonian pubs beer is around 3-3.5€. In the shop it can be around 1.2€/liter with some good deals. That's the one I usually go for.

The Lounge / Re: Best PC SetUp for 2016
« on: Sunday, March 13, 2016, 18:01:39 PM »
Ah great. Will try it out soon. The man reason I dont want win 10 is because of the pirated software. Km affraid that MS Office or Sony vegas wont work any more. Seldomly update the computer cuz of this.
Guess why I'm disappointed my PC updated... just waiting for the "notification" :D

As for the updates, you'd have to google the exact updates to target, don't know them by heart. Also, you need to first uninstall it, restart, then wait for it to pop up on Windows Updates and then choose to hide it permanently (or something like that).

I was trying to keep away from posting as I like to be informed more instead of posting things I do not know about.
But I must agree on that point, windows has started a project to put everybody on w10, and it is quite annoying as it is. Windows keeps nagging me that w10 update is ready, you can't just close it from windows update easily.

My PC actually automatically updated to Windows 10 from Windows 7 this weekend...
@ work i heard some1 saying that you can turn off the notifications by some trick. Still havent checked it out
One usually stops the notifcations by:
a) killing GWX.exe (GWX = Get Windows 10/x) - short term solution
b) uninstalling the Windows update that it came with and selecting never to reinstall that update

The latter does have a few issues, though. They have rolled out more than 1 different updates that do this and I suppose I must have missed at least one of them (see above).

And I also don't like the idea of automating everything. Sometimes it seems they expect every user to be on a computer for the first time and needs everything to be handled for them.

Don't get me wrong, though, I'll still be more happily on Windows 10 than XP, but I would have preferred to have stayed on 7 (or at least have a choice in the matter).

Where did ya read that cause everyone else missed that? Give us a little quotwe please and thanks :)

I'm guessing he meant the part where you and Wickid were arguing about who made more money off of roofing (or something along those lines).
The arguments may have got a little heated, but nothing I could see that would constitute ripping off a customer. If the work is good, the customer is often happy to pay for the work (as opposed to paying a lot less and never knowing what you get in return).

Thanks Koden, I thought about something similar ... my own HDD setup is:
- SSD 240GB for OS
- SSD 120GB for SWAP and OS stuff
- 4x 500GB for peronal data

... so for this ...
- SSD 240GB for OS
- 2x 500GB for OS SWAP, OS stuff and peronal data

... should be enough. But this is HDD configuration and my question was about 'which one?' Samsung, Intel, Ocz ..? Yeah I know, I could check the Net, but I did this once and regret my decision later. So this time, I ask consumers (you guys) directly: IYO which SSD/HDD mark is the best.
I have 2 Samsung Evo SSDs in my tabletop and a Kingston one in my laptop. Never had any issues with either. I've only had the PC for aroubd 9 months and laptop for a month, though.

I know Spanky was big on Samsung SSDs a few years ago and as far as I've heard they're solid products. Doesn't necessarily mean the rest of them aren't, though.

Sure, I just tell you he might not get your post. Use simpler sentences.


What if I get a warning for off topic chat? Or worse, what if Koden deletes it! (I wouldn't blame him for doing it as I see now I've been off topic here all along! :) )

I'm afraid you used too elaborate english.

Don't sell yourself short. You've contributed at least as much as he has.
