BFL has already adjusted their original estimates on the Rig box based on their finding from the single and are quite confident this time around.

Ok, time will show  Wink

Let's keep the relationship/financial discussions out of here; this isn't the place. If you guys want to start a new thread (not in Mining>Hardware, if this needs to be spelled out) where it belongs, go crazy.

Hey whatever works for you.  My point is if the Rig Box ever comes to fruition, and I want to buy one, I will.  I don't have to get "permission".  Permission with my own money?

Now THAT's sad.

So become libertarian. That way, even when you have someone you love and want to care for, you don't have to have any responsibilities for them and can be reckless and carefree with your money everyday!

No seriously though, you're talking about dating, and no, I don't think anyone is arguing that you don't need permission from your girlfriend. But wife? Well... marraige is kind of a complicated contract based on balance and management of resources, and I don't think you can argue that "my money" is the only parameter to take into consideration.

What if your daughter has a disease that needs medicine and you only have enough to buy the medicine, but you want to buy a rig instead? Doesn't your wife have a right (through marraige and the sharing of responsibilities) to take a stand against your ignorant spendthrifting?

That said, if you're RICH and all the bills are paid, that's a different story. I'll never let a girlfriend or wife convince me to stop flying planes solo, riding motorcycles, or skateboarding. I don't try to stop them from having periods.

Yeah it's sad alright.  Rampant feminism has pussified men in the US.

(If you weren't working and she was then absolutely you have no say.  It's her money.  Make your own money.)

I just want to point myself out here as being the exception to the rule (as usual).

I'm an American, but I believe in a mutual relationship where all matters are discussed and decided on maturely, and when the significant other is not at a point in their life experiences that they can have a mature argument, you help them in educating themselves to the point that they can. That is a loving relationship. When such a situation cannot be possible, I would never consider the relationship.

What kind of girls are these "American pussies" dating? I guess I can happily say I am not an American pussy. I'm an American dick.  Grin


EDIT: FUCK. Sniped by Spike

If I struck a nerve with some of you then maybe that's a good thing.  If you earn the money, yet let your wife tell you what to do with it, then maybe you should grow a pair and tell her it's none of her business.  If she doesn't like the answer then she can go out and earn her own money.

I think that's a fine way to look at things when you're not married.  But IMO, once married, it should all be shared equally.  Just as I might be working full time, my wife is working part time at another job, and full time (more than full time, really) as a house cleaner/maintainer and a child care giver for our daughter.  No, she doesn't make any money doing those things, but she works just as hard as I do getting things done that need to be done.  I'm not going to laugh in her face and say "haha, make your OWN money!"  That's just a terrible way to view a relationship, IMO, and I can't see any relationship like that lasting very long.

It has nothing to do with feminism, and everything to do with married people sharing the workload and benefits with each other in a loving way.  If you don't understand that, then I feel sorry for you, because it's highly unlikely you'll find a woman compatible with that point of view.

Sad.

BTW for a period of time my wife made more than I did.  I guess under that logic I should have had no say in the household finances.  Lucky for me even with her masters degree I finally make more than her so I can finally keep her in the kitchen where she belongs (barefoot of course).

Oh, they are probably all busy cutting big holes in the bottom of the enclosures and mounting the 2nd fan.

Actually, they are moving to a heat-pipe design. The second fan will become optional (but the case will not have to be modified to add one) according to the latest I got from them.


CAD drawings they sent me: http://imgur.com/a/CXD8g

Indeed, and they told me that any orders done in March would receive that version.

Well, i bited and purchased my first 2 units.
Money reserved for next 5 after these arrive.

and i still got 7 new GPUs to setup too :/
I'm still waiting on a reply back from them.

How long does it take to get the email ( I'm wanting to pay by Dwolla )?
I'm so excited to get one, I just can't wait!
It took me a good 2 weeks after ordering in late February to get payment information.

I would never let girlfriend/wife interfere with my business investments, if i see something is going to bring X % ROI annually, all she'd need to know is that it's going to bring the bacon on table.
Lots of american men are pussies when it comes to their women.  The men bring in all the money yet still let their bitches tell them what to do with the money.  Can you believe that?

American women are spoiled (and usually fat) cunts.

If anyone ever contends that I'm an asshole, please refer to this quote for relative comparison and understand the difference.


Typically, there is an amount of truth in everyone's opinion.  Sometimes small, sometimes large.

I'm a dick, but I'm not an asshole.

Also, that dude's opinion comes from experience with idiots, not "women". My girlfriend tells me to stop wasting money.

"Stop buying everyone penis avatars on SomethingAwful and pay the rent please!"

She is so annoying sometimes.

Lol.

There is some truth to saying it would be hard to be an entrepreneur while the significant other is hounding about the bank account all the time.
Of course, if one can't afford to be entrepreneurial then they probably shouldn't be spending money on Amway or the multitude of super powered anti-oxidant fruit juice MLM schemes out there.

Someone once said that having separate bathrooms is the key to marriage success! Grin

I wouldn't go that far, but certainly having separate bank accounts plus one common account for certain types of standard expenses (household, groceries, utility bills, etc), "avoids" alot of problems: I won't get upset on expensive new shoes, and she won't get upset on expensive new toys! Grin
