I can't begin to explain how much that means to meOh well, if that 3070 doesn't cut the mustard on Odyssey, just post it over to me and I'll swap it for a Gold Sample 2080S which I know works brilliantly...
...where would you be without friends like me?
Now I just have to figure if I port it over as Steam or stick to my original Frontier launcher. I've got the two linked already, but I like to be old school. Once I'm past porting my browser settings, email archives and all that "fun" stuff.
Stick to the Frontier launcher - is my opinion - I have all 3 accounts on that (I had one on the 'new' steam launch which is a pain - bought (£20) a fresh account from Frontier on the same email address - picked up from where I'd left off, despite support not being 'sure' it could be done!)I can't begin to explain how much that means to me

That's how I feel too. I've seen too many times after an update where Steam users have had trouble (temporary, for sure, they get sorted very quickly) that I've never seen on my "old school" first beta account.Stick to the Frontier launcher - is my opinion - I have all 3 accounts on that (I had one on the 'new' steam launch which is a pain - bought (£20) a fresh account from Frontier on the same email address - picked up from where I'd left off, despite support not being 'sure' it could be done!)
you know, "nicht mehr" is basically "used to be, but isn't any longer" - so this is basically what you had in mind.
There are plenty like that. Like Worcester Sauce. A wind from the South East is not a South Easterly wind - it's a Sou'easter... And a wind from the north is as Cold as a Witches [little garden bird] or Freezes the Balls off a Brass Monkey - which honestly has nothing to do with genitals.

Oh yes, the brass monkey was a dimpled brass plate that warships stacked their iron cannon balls upon - in extreme cold weather the plate could contract enough for the cannon balls to fall off...
Oh, everyone knows that, of course!
Frighteningly enough, I actually did. I'm an absolute monster in Trivial Pursuit.[hastily consults Google]

Remind me not to play TP with you, unless I can bias the dice to get me the Science questions...
Exactly. Often contracted to Brass Monkey Weather.[hastily consults Google]

Do you know how many different descriptions we have for rain over here? Almost as many as Finns have for snow!
My favourite for very fine rain, is "wet air"...
Nope. That's a bad idea. If you can bias them to the sports ones, though, I'll be done for.I remembered it had something to do with ships...

Me too, sadly...
Yes, you'll learn it..... no, you won't remember it...
Seems to be a rule of life that the more inconsequential, useless and esoteric a piece of information is, the more indelibly it is inscribed in the memory vault!
Or history..... gawd, I hate that yellow piece of cheese....
Mind you, brown can be an issue too...
Basically, everything apart form green to be honest....
And I should stop giving this precious material away for free.
