    There's a thread about it that someone started on this sub-forum, but I think NFL.com you can pay to stream all the games for a $100 or something? Maybe it's more than that. Not sure how easy it is to get it up on a TV though.

    Man a while back when Fresca came out with all those different flavors I tried them, and they are not good to me. But anything that's more club soda/soda water than "soda" isn't any good to me. So all the flavored sparkling waters from Smart Water, Arrowhead, Dasani, etc. are all terrible to me...

    Keep in mind that the medium from which you are drinking makes a difference. I think most mediums of Diet Coke taste like asshole, but Diet Coke from a can? Wonderful!

    Both of these are gross. You're a heathen. I recently tried Squirt Zero Sugar, and it's pretty good. Diet Squirt and Fresca are both good as well, but I'm a fan of grapefruit soda. Love it. Diet Coke is of course good, and then most of the flavored waters from Walmart are great too. Peach is...

    Wtf? MSI 3070 went yellow on the app, and I even had to manually enter my payment information and I still got it. Probably because it's a $750 3070, WTF!

    Had multiple tabs open for cards, and none work. It goes Yellow the second time to add to inventory, but it won't add to inventory. Doh.

    To spend the money that you did on the build that you have, and to be just like "meh" about your RAM speed when it's no harder to buy than your slow ass RAM is really weird. Ehhh, I don't use it that often but let me get a 3090? yea, that makes perfect sense. You're being weird man!! Lol

    After going back and fourth about a new laptop or new Desktop, I ended up with an iPad Air 3rd gen (2019), and the type case comes in tomorrow. Don't expect to do too much with it, but for fucking around in the hotel room I think it'll work out well. Probably will try GeForce Now game streaming...

    Ha, funny you should mention that as it’s already on one and still hitting those temps. It very well could have been hitting these temps for a while now and I just never took a look at HW monitor. The gpu doesn’t seem stressed at all at least according to utilization. It’s a Radeon 8970. From...

    Hooked the old laptop up to the TV, and loaded Xbox Game Pass for the wife. She wanted to play Ori and the Blind Forest. Happen to take a look at HW Monitor and the Haswell i7-4700MQ chip is hitting 98-99 degree C. So now I'm thinking about taking it apart and trying to redo some thermal...

    They've had problems for a while but DPG/DBG account management system is terrible. I'm trying to re-activate an account right now but it keeps telling me to click the "Payment Card on File" button, which doesn't exist, and so it won't let me sub. Lol

    So like some of the fucky emulator servers where you can go around and 1 group every encounter? or rather it's tuned that way in era? Not saying level 100's go and solo a old raid mob. I'm saying Server is locked at Velious, and 1 group can go kill AoW. Some of those were popular due to tons of...

    Well, that 10x more powerful on TLPs plays perfectly into the GoD expansion because of how over tuned it was. Makes the expansion do-able, and hence fun. Doesn't feel like you're beating your head against a wall for no reason. I agree though, almost no one ever sees it because of the stigma...

Have my 50 Ranger from Classic, a Warrior in the '40s, a 51 Druid... not sure what to play or Box. Rangers just became easy mode DPS, so that's...

    Saw a quick documentary on Youtube about Sweet Baby Ray's, and the sticking point for me was that their other sauces like this one make up like 1% or something stupid small of their total sales, while the original flavor makes up the rest and the only reason they have these other flavors is too...

    That's a hell of a nice price then. When I did it recently, the ibuypower price was $3500 or something, and I could build it on pcpartpicker for under $2k.

    ibuypower is great, but you won't have a choice over the brand/model of your video card. My buddy who ordered his back in December was able to specifically pick an ASUS ROG Strix 3080, but you can't do that anymore. So if you choose a 3080, you could get a Zotac? :(

    I did the opposite and moved from Phoenix to Washington and love it. However one thing I remember of my 30 years living there is that you can always find a house/apartment that suites your needs and price range. The entire city is setup for people to commute an hour or more one way, because it’s...

    I haven't been able to find a way to get carbonation at a level I enjoy because once you shake it, it loses too much and just tastes flat. I haven't tried shaking it, then stirring it with carbonation maybe? I've still got tubs of the stuff from a long-ago B1G1 so I'll give it another shot.

    My buddy got a pre-built from ibuypower, and it let him choose the ROG Strix 3080, but if you go on there now it just says 3080 without any brand/model. He got lucky! lol
