I am too poor to buy it. Sick Beast was right, I live in my mom's basement and spend my food stamp check on beer.

What holds me back on anything gaming these days is ROI. I haven't gamed two hours in the last 6 months. Haven't even played with the 4K GSync and 980Ti I got in June yet.

When it's below 0 degrees outside, maybe cuddle down and play some Dying Light.  Your son can watch and drool at perfectly fluid maxed out 4K gsync thanks to your 980Ti..

Or take a vacation to Hawaii!

I plan on moving to maybe Oahu (if not Maui or some other island) and settle in some place not too far from Honolulu, making Apoppin proud that I'm following his footsteps.


Even better than Miami, FL - ocean warm enough to swim except for maybe Jan-March (still very swimmable?)


Most places in the US have less wind during the hot summer months (see average).  In Honolulu, it'd be paradise with the summer breeze!  Wind also means fresh air!


Not bad at all!!  Completely unlike Florida which stays humid late into the night during the hot summer months!


This one is very important - cloudy days are depressing.  With an overall year average of maybe 26% of cloudy days, and about the same for days with precipitation, 3 out of 4 great days to walk outside and enjoy nice weather... ahhh..  just some partly clouds can be pretty to look at as well.


With the sun shining 70% of the time there is daylight, I'd just be content.  Not too much sun like in the barren desert with hardly any clouds at all, ever (Las Vegas, Phoenix, etc.)..

I don't get why all the old farts move to Arizona or Florida to retire?  I guess it's a good thing they're not overpopulating Hawaii just yet, saving some real nice place for me!!!!

To hell with websites that don't allow for forum-linking to their images.  These charts are only 12KB each!

Just scroll down to the "Average Climate" part on that webpage linked in the above post, and you'll see all the charts there.

Another good thing about the water temperature compared the southernmost part of FL:

(Miami, FL)  and (Honolulu), side by side:


This is extremely accurate data for water measurements.
I'm actually surprised that water actually stays above 75 degrees F at Honolulu, even considering the bottom standard deviation in March. 
March (the coldest month) in Honolulu is warmer than all the 4 months in Miami (Dec - Mar).  Plus the air temperature is far more permitting as well.

Then during the hottest months of the summer (especially after standing in the sun or doing some activities), it'd be nice to soak in cooler waters of 80-82 F in Honolulu, rather than in 89+ degrees water like in Miami.

Why the hell did Poppin move back to Calif??

Why the hell did Poppin move back to Calif??

He has no money.

(and that is why you moving there won't impress him or make him think you are following in his path)

You are not an "adventurer", you're just a guy who figured out how to earn a living. Worse yet, you probably went to college.

Guys I seem to have pissed off Rollo. I'm not sure of the reason. He got mad when I said something bad about a turkey Republican who pumped raw sewage into an entire city. Go figure.
