    Who's getting a 1080ti?

    Anyone running a 1080 Ti reference card, or "founders edition" ? I made the mistake of buying one on the forum before realizing the reference cooler is terrible. I am hoping I can run a custom fan profile at like max of 30% and just not worry about the noise.

    Korean Microboard M340CLZ 34" 3440x1440 100Hz FreeSync Curved

    Two issues with this monitor compared to PG348Q. Warranty? How long? And if you get a monitor with dead pixels can you return it based on that reason alone? Otherwise, this thing looks sweet.

    Any epi-pen users here? What are you doing now that epi-pens are expensive??!?

    I am loving the right wing spin about how our "choice" has been eliminated and since only Epi-Pen is on the market its every Democrat's fault due to evil regulations.

    IRA/Retirement Fund

    My wife's income is 1099 and I do some 1099 computer side jobs throughout the year so with that income we were better off setting up a traditional IRA. It ended up giving us a +2500 swing on our taxes last year.

    Curious: What Percentage of your gross Income are you Investing Annually

    I've heard people speculate that Congress could pass a law saying any IRA/401K/Retirement account that has been open for 50+ years and not drawn on (meaning the person died and passed it to their children) that they would begin to tax the gains or something along those lines. Btw, I am...

    People should die for this

    I just paid my property tax bill this morning and it was an ACH push and they still charge a $1 processing fee. Do you know how many houses are within the borders of Cook County? Someone is making a killing accepting bank pushes. What a scam and twice a year on top of it.

    2017 Mazda CX-9 is looking pretty good

    The Fast Lane did a sneak peak of the new CX-9 with a Mazda product engineer who was intimately familiar with the new CX-9. Lot of good technical information from him. Basically said from a stop it should have 310ft/lb of torque which should be enough at the low end to pull it from a dead...

    going to San Diego tomorrow - any "must see/do" things you recommend?

    I vacationed there back in September in Mission Bay. Hated every minute of it. It was like some scummy beach community. Fun times with planes taking off over your head every 5 minutes.
