I'm sure if she saw it, she'd want it. Her big present this year is this:

That's actually nice. Wood not plastic?
Fckking thing looks 4ft tall.

Yeah, it's wood. No idea what kind, but the box weighs 60 pounds.
Height is actually about 4 1/2 ft. tall. Another stock photo for reference:
It's also a little bit cheaper than the Barbie Dreamhouse, which is plastic, over a foot shorter, and doesn't look nearly as nice:
The other house is scaled for Barbie-sized dolls, just don't have to pay for branding.

Kids might prefer the Barbie one but I think the wooden one is nicer.
This is a bit of a problem if she likes the barbies shtt.

She turned 2 on Tuesday. She's doing great. She's spoiled and in charge so everything is normal

I want fckking kids to spoil.
The problem im having is that I come a family of twins. Almost everyone has twins on both sides. So, I want to have twins and get it over with in one shot.
Edt: Always run SLi. Single card house holds are late.

I meant the one I bought is scaled for Barbies as well, just like the Barbie-branded one. I definitely wanted to make sure of that.

Glad to hear it. Mine is starting to read... which is awesome until you realize how much cryptic communication with your wife relied on simply spelling words.

My kids are old enough to have kids. They better not though. Too much life for them to live right now.

You used to be all about 4k. Why getting out of it? Just curious since we had an argument over 4k a while back.

Been awhile since I've posted, and I'm not sure if this is the right place to do it, but any of you interested in a nexus 5X?
Posted on 12/9/16 at 10:54 pm to DannyB
4K is awesome.
I didn't ask that question at the time but think it is more to do with console gaming. He got a PS4 Pro at launch and has a pimp Samsung which does HDR. That monitor doesn't do HDR and most PC games dont support it. Only one I can think of off hand is Half-Life: Lost Coast from around 2008.
Edt: IMO HDR > 2160p right now. I would be happy at 1440 if all games and displays supported HDR.

HARDOCP blasting Intel and Kaby Lake
I guess Kaby Lake really is going to be dead even ~2% IPC from Skylake, and in some tests/games, negative performance from Skylake.
Intel is really starting to struggle here in the arms race it appears, Qualcomm just dropped their 10nm server chip samples today and will begin shipping by 2H 2017 too while Intel's delayed 10nm server chips won't hit until 2H 2018, Qualcomm will beat Intel by nearly a full year at 10nm.

We have come to expect small advances in Intel IPC over the recent years and we have come to expect nothing from AMD. Intel has produced some fine silicon and injected excitement into our CPU industry when there were no others to lead. Thank you for that, it is much appreciated. As we watch Moore's Law fall, I have expected IPC and core width to be Intel's focus. Quite frankly, while I have not been impressed with 10% gains in IPC, I have been happy to at least see those.
With Kaby Lake, Intel has just given the big middle finger to its fan base, loyalists, and every hardware enthusiast in the world. Intel has just told us, we do not matter to its corporate structure any more. To the enthusiast, Kaby Lake in its Core i7-7700K form is nothing more than what Francois promised two years ago. I would not spend my money on Kaby Lake simply in protest.

Windows also developing to support ARM chips.

Bought an Xbox One S while I was home on R&R from Afghanistan. Now I am debating on ordering a 4k TV from Amazon and having it shipped over here. Also, my laptop is 4k which is overkill for the 17.3 inch screen.
Trying to decide between the Sony XBR43X800D and the Samsung UN49KS8000. RTINGS.com have each as the best TV in their respective sizes. The Sony is 43" and $648.00 on Amazon and the Samsung is 49" and $1089.00
I have finally come around...

KS8000 is significantly better than an X800, or 850, or 930 for that matter.
Rtings shows the X800 at 7.6 and the KS8000 at 8.3 which is first place over even the X930.
Samsung has best in class HDR and by a decent margin, to go with the best 4K upscaler too.
49" > 43"
Also if you go to the KS8000 review page and scroll down towards the end they compare models including the top Sony X930D and say:

As a whole, the Sony X930D picture quality isn’t superior but its price is. Only get it if you absolutely want 3D which is not available on the Samsung KS8000. The Samsung KS8000 offers a better picture quality both in a very bright or very dark room.
