Anyone want a copy of FTL: Faster than Light?

Got a free copy when I bought Into the Breach

PM me your Steam username

Into the Breach is out
Same developer as FTL

It's good

The job desc is generic enough that it's worth applying for to find out more. Unless you've left out a line that says you need a PhD and 5 years of quant research then I don't think there's anything there to be concerned about yet.

-hmmm

As long as you know enough to know what to google then you're good. Knowing what you're looking for and how to phrase the question is more important than knowing the answer. And you've not asked stupid questions on this thread.

Yeah, I have a Nationwide Select card. It's good. Can't withdraw cash for free but you can use it in card readers for free.

Which you can also do without a limit on Monzo. It's only withdrawing money that's got the limit, not buying things with the card.

I'm not sure how they were ever a rip off of Revolut.
Revolut's USP is that they allow you to hold balances in more than one currency at once.
Monzo never professed to allow you to do this, it just didn't charge for withdrawals abroad, which they do now.

I like that Monzo instantly updates when I spend money, I like that it categorises things automatically. I like the ability to freeze the card from the app if it's lost/nicked. I like that when I needed a customised PDF report for my mortgage that I could chat to someone on the app and got something emailed over the next morning.
So I see them as competing with high street banks rather than solely with other challenger banks.

Pondering selling my gaming PC. Anyone have an idea what the going rate for a not new but still damn quick machine is.

Main points are...

i7-3770k (4 core, 8 thread), happily running at ~4GHz with an aftermarket heatsink/fan
GeForce 980Ti
32GB RAM
512GB Samsung 850 SSD

All the rest is good kit too, Antec P182 case, PSU is an 80% efficient 750W (OCZ Silencer I think)

Bit of googling suggests the CPU is around 70% as fast as the latest and greatest 8700k, and the 980Ti is around 70% as fast as latest and greatest 1080Ti.

So, ballpark, 70% as quick as a £2k PC (which sadly doesn't mean I could expect £1400)

Not sure what's a sensible price and whether it's even worth upgrading given it's still handling anything I can throw at it.

One and a half pounds and three quarters of a brick

So,
120 = 5

Should he grow up feeling guilty that he didn't observe his birth religion properly as a baby?!

At the risk of sounding flippant - rationale and religion?

Time for a video of Atlas taking this thing for a walk surely...
Or throwing a stick which the dog collects.

+1 on the ED-55s for people with legs.
The 55 chinos are great too

you can expend a large amount of thrust to start moving in 1 direction, but to move in completely the opposite direction requires an equal amount of thrust

Twice as much surely. One Saturn V to start it moving, the second to stop it, and a third to get it moving in the other direction.

I tuck the hose from my bladder under my arm

Bit bigger than you're after maybe, but I have this on my Condor Tempo

Edit. ah hang on, that's straight. didn't notice you were after tapered.

What is forum approved South East location atm?
I'm in Greenwich but too close to Blackwall Tunnel approach so want somewhere less busy.
Could move my house a few roads over but that'd make it cost 1m instead of 500k.

Go for a run tomorrow

Garmin will be the best music watch available, but unless you desperately want to leave the phone at home then I'd just use the phone to play music and a slightly cheaper Garmin for the running stats.

That said, I have the Forerunner 935, so I'm not really one to talk. It's awesome

Garmin 645 Music is the latest and greatest I'd expect

yep

Let's just round it. 1

sqrt(2)

Edit: should refresh before posting. I'll add the working.

area = pi * r^2

if r = 1, area is pi
if you want to find r for twice the area

then
2 * pi = pi * r^2

cancel pi from both sides

2 = r^2
sqrt(2) = r

I can see those, couldn't see the earlier ones

When I say bluetooth and water don't mix I mean that water very efficiently blocks the radio frequencies that bluetooth uses.

Hence why the Garmin swim HR strap doesn't transmit HR data in real time like it would if you were running or cycling. It waits until you're out of the water and then sends readings to the watch.

I'd assume they wont work, since Bluetooth and water doesn't mix. You'll probably have to find something with onboard storage, e.g.
