I play CSGO, I wish I had time to play more games. Seems like PUBG is pretty popular.

[MrBurgundy]

pubg is really good IMO. If you find the time, I would give it a try.

I hate MS word. When did it get so damn awful?

Have you ever used google docs? It's pretty much googles version of MS office

I used google docs for spreadsheets for a few years before I got a copy of office from my wife. I've never used their Word equivalent, but I'm not a fan of sheets. Browser based, takes a long time to open/load, slow to react, something is weird with copy/paste (can't remember if it's keyboard shortcuts or right click).

Maybe their other stuff is better, or there's some standalone program I missed.

Just getting sick of word doing dumb shit every paragraph.
Moving everything around when I'm trying to make one thing line up with another using tab.
Arbitrarily deciding if it wants to grace me with a bullet or not out of an asterisk at the beginning of a line return
Changing the capitalization of my units to be wrong + turning the caps lock on, with no autocorrect flag...

Makes me want to find like a 2000-era copy of word, from back when it actually worked, and just use that.

I still use MS office 2003. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

I have it. Just shy of 500 hours on it since May. 8 chicken dinners in the past week and a half or so. Mostly solo or duo wins.

The wheels for my truck have FINALLY come off back order. Got them ordered today, they're supposed to get here Thursday. They weren't supposed to come off back order till the 8th, so I'm pretty happy.

Well we now know that test is bs for a fact. Lol jk

Most online IQ tests are pretty bs. It should be more about pattern recognition and involves 3D shapes.

Also, how are things down there with the storm? I have some friends in the Pearland area who have about a foot of water in the streets, so they were pretty fortunate.

So my Pro M maf sensor and pigtail arrived yesterday.

Now I have no excuse, but I still probably won't get it running for a few weeks. Funny how the longer a project goes on, the more you turn down the rush knob.

hey,

thank you for asking. we have two houses. one in kingwood and the other is south of kemah a little ways. we live full time in kingwood and are about 1/4 mile from the san jacinto river. fortunately we are probably 15 to 20 feet above the flood plain here.

our house on the south side of town is actually on dickinson bayou. when i built it, i spent about 6 grand on 300 loads of dirt that i piled up under the foundation. that was fortunate because water came up to about 4 feet from the bottom of the garage slab. most of the homes in the neighborhood flooded but ours did not.

here is a pic the neighbor sent of the home 2 down from ours also on the water. this one is on pilings about 7 feet above ground level.



this is a house we used to own as a rental in a neighborhood about 6 miles north. it has about 3" of water running through it in this photo. fortunately, we sold it 4 years ago.



earlier today my wife and i tried to drive the f350 downtown to help with evacuations. unfortunately. all the roads are so flooded out, they were completely impassable. after about 2 hours of trying different routes, we had to give up and return home. i do have to say that it is indeed as bad as the news shows.

to all the other r3ver's from houston, god be with you. i hope you are as lucky as my wife and i have been.

[MrBurgundy]

Glad to hear you guys got lucky. It really is a terrible situation... 185 pending rescues right now....
