From a literally technical standpoint, people are morons of FB regarding this "hacker" crap with friend requests. If it was that damn easy to just hack someone via friend request, I would be swimming in nudes from celebrities.

Been looking at the Q50 lately. The Red Sport 400 is enticing but seems like the new TT engine has a bunch of first year flaws. There's a local '15 Sport with the trusty VQ37 for a great price that I might go look at this week. Basically a 4 door Z. Not as quick as the new 3.0TT but I know it'll be reliable.

Sounds like a solid plan. Couple years old will be a nice discount on price while still being almost new.

Mondays bite.

Spent a good amount of time in the garage. Bought a 4 pack of 4' LED shop lights. Meh, they are OK but not great. Might just use them over a work bench or something.

I'm using a Dell XPS 15 9560 currently and love it. 960M inside is powerful enough to run most AAA games at med settings still. Thin bezel screen is a nice bonus and it has a very good keyboard/trackpad.

If it wasn't for the 2x PCI lanes being disabled for thunderbolt 3, I would get the new version with a dedicated eGPU solution.

Police Academy is on Netflix.

Watching that tonight. Just blew through all 4 episodes of Castlevania already. I thought it was very good. Never followed the games closely, so the story was refreshing enough.

Now it's time to head home and play more Doom or MGS:5.

Yeah I figure I'll play on the sidelines and watch people experiment with this new engine and get one in a couple years after the kinks are ironed out.

Ok. Dumb question time. I've never dealt with this stuff before so please excuse the ignorance.

What's the difference between a wake, calling hours, memorial, and actual funeral? We are having a memorial service on Thursday and just want to be prepared for everything. I've only ever done calling hours.

Wake is when you usually the time people can come and pay respects to the deceased.

Funeral is the burial.

Don't know the other two

TreeSemdyZee · 07-10-2017, 07:33 PM

Memorial services are sort of a pre-funeral funeral. Sometimes people will share memories of the deceased.
Calling hours are when people come and pay their respects.
Don't stress too much, the only people that are "good" with this kind of situation are the funeral directors.
