The image uploader is a cool feature, but it's UX is pretty poor compared to alternatives like imgur. Would it be possible to have a drag+drop feature, and more importantly the ability to upload multiple images at once? Uploading say 3 images for a showcase is a pain in the ass and drives me to services like imgur or puush, which may delete the image after a certain amount of time or be blocked in certain networks.

Let me tell you a story
This story starts at ?pm in the afternoon on monday night. I'm on my laptop (Dell XPS-12, this will be important later) and decide I'm bored of Windows 10. Twitch often lags and I'm not a massive fan of the interface. So I decide to install a linux distro.
First problem, this laptop has no CD drive. No problem though, I have a USB CD drive. Plug it in, burn a Lubuntu iso on (because Ubuntu is too mainstream amirite), reboot, mash F12, install Lubuntu. So after the lubuntu install completes without a hitch (full install, not dual-boot. Not enough room on this 120GB SSD), I load up Lubuntu. First problem, my earphones have a horrid, horrid static hissing noice whenever they're plugged in. Just loud enough that I genuinely can't ignore it and it gives me a headache after a couple hours. This is extremely odd as it appears to be dodgy hardware causing interference, but this never happened on my Windows install, so it can't be a hardware issue. So of course I go hunting online for solutions.
5 hours later, no solution. And one of the 'fixes' I had attempted had made all headphone audio come out of the speakers, even though everything was indicating that the sound was being sent through the headphone jack. I backtracked every attempted fix and reverted all my changes, but I couldn't fix this problem I caused for myself. At this point I knew I wasn't going to get this mess fixed, so I decided to burn Linux Mint onto the single 4.7GB DVD-RW that I had on hand and install that.
The issue persisted. I really enjoyed my short time with Linux Mint, I loved the desktop environment, everything was faster than Windows 10, from booting to loading programs to the number of tabs I can comfortably have open to the customisation. Unfortunately the headphone hissing wasn't something I was willing to compromise on, so it was back to Windows.
Now, I don't have a Windows 10 disc, nor a Windows 8 disc (which is what came pre-installed on this laptop. Eew.). However, I do have a Windows 7 disc. Now this disc is special or something, since I've used it for over 10 installs of W7 no problemo, and they always activate with Windows Genuine Advantage. However, the product code does NOT activate a Windows 10 install. The only way to get to a legit Windows 10 install is to upgrade from a W7 install. So I install W7, and here's where my real problems start.
First, W7 just didn't want to install. The setup kept asking for optical drive drivers, even though the setup program was loaded from an optical drive. All the solutions online suggested plugging in the USB you had the installation media on into another USB port. But I was using a USB-CD drive, and switching ports didn't fix it. I honestly can't remember how I fixed this, but it took me a while to figure out. Then, once Windows 7 was installed, the true horrors began.
You see, there are hardly any Windows 7 drivers available for this laptop, since it was released well into W8's lifecycle. So when I booted up, I had no wifi, no touchscreen, no brightness control and the 2 USB ports on the side of the laptop wouldn't work. So first thing I do is try to get the WiFi working. From there I can google and download my way out of the problem. So I find the wifi card model of the laptop via google and download the driver install for that onto my phone, and transfer them onto the PC via USB.. Except the USB ports don't work anymore.
So I go into device manager, and the touchscreen isn't even listed, there are warning signs next to half the devices and a ton of unknown devices. After about an hour of fruitless googling and messing around, I manage to convince W7 to use a generic driver for USB hubs on the USB controller. This allowed me to transfer files from my phone to the computer, thus install the drivers for my network card, giving me wifi. So, onto the USB ports.
I find out what model USB controller the laptop's motherboard uses, and go to download them from intel's website. Except when I try to run the driver, it gives me an error saying that my laptop doesn't meet the minimum requirements. What. I fiddle around with various things but cannot get these bloody drivers to install. At this point I should mention that I actually wanted to keep W7 if I could solve all these issues, since it booted in about half the time even the linux distros booted and I prefer the interface to W10. But at this point I resigned myself to defeat and decided to upgrade to Windows 10. That's when I realised that Windows Update had sh** itself.
Windows update had installed 2 updates and refused to find any more. It just infinitely searched for updates. The several methods of upgrading to Windows 10 I tried got stuck at 99% on one stage or another. Since upgrading directly from W7 wouldn't work, I went out and bought an 8GB USB drive (since all mine are 2GB) and used it as an installation drive. This got stuck too, but after a couple hours more fiddling, I managed to get it to work by disabling the network card and choosing to not install updates in the W10 setup.
So, 2 days later, I finally get back to W10. Such is life. **** intel/Dell for not releasing W7 compatible drivers for this laptop's hardware, I'm stuck with W8 or W10. Oh well, could be worse. I sincerely hope you didn't read this entire wall of text.

So after watching 6 seasons in 6 days, I've caught up with TWD. Thoughts on S6E11 (latest episode, premiered last night)? I thought it was pretty boring, very slow with a lot of set up dialogue for future episodes. Also a disappointing lack of carrie. I also thought a lot of imagery and dialogue in the episode made it SUPER obvious that maggie's gonna be the next one to die, which would suck imo if it happened. Hopefully she can borrow some of Glenn's plot armour if it comes to that.

I have an i5 4690k, GTX 970, 16gb RAM and I'm only getting between 90 and 150 FPS in CSGO, when with those specs I should NEVER dip below 300. Both my CPU cores and GPU top out at around 60 degrees under load, and I have not overclocked anything. Changing in-game settings does not help I'm pretty sure my CPU is the bottleneck, as it's 100% or near 100% load on all cores while ingame. I honestly have no idea how to fix this. The issue persists through windows reinstalls and several driver versions. What more can I do?

 4, 6 and 10 microfarad capacitors hooked up to a 4.5V battery in the configuration above. Would it be 3.2 uF? (1/c = 1/(6+10) + 1/4)?

.png) Jesus it's been years since I touched RA2. Does this count as IRL? Are the batteries under/overkill? Sickles don't do much damage but whatever it looks cool so I'm keeping it. Maybe I should reverse them so the edge is on the outside. Now I'm just rambling. Thoughts/improvements?
