    Simple way to make Bolognese Sauce

    I brown the mince in the oven, saw someone doing that once and it saves so much time, plus I really can't stand the smell of cooking mince beef for some reason. Just cover the tray with foil at first, then finish off with it uncovered. I find by the time this is done (~30 minutes, depending...

    Spec me a CCTV System

    Not sure if it's the same one but reviews seem quite mixed on it. Thanks for the suggestion though

    Spec me a CCTV System

    Haven't checked on the thread for a while and skimming through and seeing the above video made me realise I need to get on to installing some cameras. Can anyone recommend a dome POE style camera for outdoor use please? I'd been thinking of the H.View 5MP IP one on the rainforest for £63.99...

    How much Twitch Streamers Make (and the insanity)

    I would say for every hour I spend watching TV, I watch 20 hours of Twitch, I find it far more interesting to me and only have TV for the rest of the family. I totally agree with what some have said on this thread, in that there are many that put in the grind to get to make content creation (I...

    Anyone use Backblaze?

    I use Backblaze, works brilliantly. Highly recommend it.

    Sold on the Corsair 1000D 8086k build as it was just too big so went for the Fractal S2 which is a great case to work on, although had to shoe-horn those rads in :confused: CPU – i9 9900k @5Ghz (on all cores) GPU – Asus Strix RTX 2080Ti OC - 11GB GDDR6 (cooled by EK-Vector Strix RTX 2080 Ti...

    Escape from Tarkov

    Might have 0.11.7 dropped today but looking certain for this week. Will be a full wipe (although conflicting info on soft skills wipe) I've been impressed with the latest build and have had way less stutters. Patch notes here

    FPS suggestions

    Escape from Tarkov is a great game and well worth considering. It is a hardcore shooter though - not for the feint-hearted. Best FPS game out there from a pure gun/squad play perspective, IMO. There is a wipe coming, potentially this week (money, gear and levelling) so everyone will be...

    ***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

    I've only recently started playing DayZ again after getting into Tarkov for last few months and it's actually not too bad now. I have played a mix of vanilla and modded (community) servers and there are definitely still issues, but even comparing the crashing issues the mod had, there are...

    Latest Gillette ad suggests their customers are broken, toxic and need "fixing" through feminism

    Also it's called age. Male worker gets paid more than equivalent female, would be the headline, but the male worker could have 20 years experience and a degree in that field, whilst the female may be post-grad or with less experience... nowhere in the real world will they earn the same, but...

    When to Use Caulk When Painting?

    I use Farrow and Ball Estate Eggshell on the skirting boards, then caulk, then paint walls. I haven't used gloss in 15 years.

    I don't like doing things by halves! If I wanted it to be a value for money exercise then I wouldn't have even considered this build. Net cost wasn't bad after I sold off my old rig and a load of guitar kit that was just hanging around. Clearly it works a charm as I've started to clock it and...

    Unless one hand fell off, in which case it would be right twenty four times a day ;-P

    Been a long time coming but finally upgraded, couldn't be happier (or poorer). (Excuse the poor quality pics). CPU - i7 8086k @5Ghz GPU – Asus Strix GTX 1080Ti RGB - 11GB GDDR5X (cooled by EK-FC1080 full-cover waterblock) RAM – 32gb G-Skill DDR4 3200MHz MOBO – Asus Maximus X...

    What PC games are you playing?

    I bought Escape from Tarkov a month ago and really enjoying it. Probably the definitive hardcore 1PP shooter. A lot to learn and easy to sink a lot of time into. Very salt-inducing at times but worth the grind.

    ***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

    I never played the mod but played a lot of Arma 3 - the 'console-ification' of DayZ and the move away from the Arma feel is probably the most disappointing thing to me. Still, there is no other game out there like it. I've met some great people through talking in game that I'm now good friends...

    ***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

    To be fair, the game is infinitely better than the mod, from many aspects, the issues are generally down to teething issues with the new engine. Most want DayZ to be a success but this project changed from purely giving the fans a more updated version of the Arma 2 DayZ mod on the legacy...

    ***Dayz: Stand Alone Thread***

    Knife gets ruined quickly, I always pick up a second - one for cutting meat or cutting rags, the other for melee. You can still use ruined knifes for melee (or at least you could pre beta). Again, I would probably look to play something else for anyone thinking of making a return, just for...
