    Since I stole your build and we built virtually the same computer, it is crazy that I see you posted this. Not quite the same thing, but close. A day or two after completing the build, I was playing the free Doom we got just to test things out, and all of a sudden there is this horrendous...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    I can't speak to the Metformin, but I have noticed even shit like the 800mg Ibuprofen I was getting after shoulder surgery a few years back would smell fucking nasty from the pharmacy, yet the bottle of 200mg you can buy over the counter smells pretty much like nothing. I can't really explain...

    Shin Godzilla (2016)

    Fuck you for reminding me of this movie! Although maybe I'll rewatch the hot Asian chick parts again. Got dam she is gorgeous.

    You know you're getting old when.....

    My dad has diabetes, so I know quite a bit about it. Others have chimed in with true statements as well, but thought I'd point out that if my dad's A1c gets too high, his eyesight gets worse. If he brings it back down, his vision gets better. I don't know the medical reason for that, but the...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Speaking of backordered shit, we have one supplier that is just fucking retarded. I'm not even gonna hide their name, because I doubt any of you know/use them, but they sell wood doors. Oregon Door. They continuously, over the past decade or so, and despite us bitching about it countless...

    I'm not trying to defend this bitch or say there isn't any filter on that mugshot, but you took one of her shittiest newer ones for comparison. There are several dozen older ones that look fairly close to the mugshot pic, and since that mugshot is several years old, it is a better comparison...

    That chick is 100% real. Maybe a little photoshop on the mugshot, I'm not sure on that, but she's definitely real. That was literally like the mugshot that started it all here. It might not have been this thread, but she was the first one somone posted. Dammit, you made me go to the...

    Kindle Unlimited. I knew it was on RR/Patreon, so probably way ahead in those places, but the latest book released on Kindle finally.

    I know not everyone likes Quest Academy, but the latest KU book came out and I haven't been this obsessed with reading for a few months. He's not even doing exciting shit, just crafting during break with his parents, but I'm totally enthralled and not even 20% in. And his parents are great...

    Well yeah, I know about the angel stuff, and that's something to consider, but that's us, here in the real world, making those connections. And even here we cheat and depict them as beautiful people with wings because no one wants to see what a real angel would look like. But in the world they...

    I hate woke shit, but I've read the books, and I'm not entirely disgusted by the woke shit in the show because it was kinda always there in the books, just not in your face. Also, them being space hippies is what makes it work with SecUnit, because if they were normal they wouldn't be so...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Lots of people on this board think that it is trivial to cross vast distances in space, because countless ships have done it and are flying around in our atmosphere every day just for fun. Why don't we ask them how they surpassed these monumental engineering roadblocks?

    I finally caught up to the current chapter of this (I only read at work). I like it, and I agree with a lot of your observations; authors of these time loop stories rarely talk about how "over it" someone would be after even just a couple dozen loops, let alone hundreds or thousands. Imagine...

    I've been slowly buying these over the past year or two to expand my RAID when drives start to show signs of failing. Haven't had any problems so far. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HVGDBYB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1

    Desktop Computers

    Because I spent over $300 on the fucking motherboard, they can print out a $1 manual for me and include it in the box. My other computer was dead, hence needing to build this one, and while I have a spare computer, what if I didn't? Having to pull shit up on my phone instead of them putting a...

    I got mine set up last night, but it was too late to do anything but install Windows and make sure everything seemed ok. Major complaint I have about every manufacturer these days, not just computer-related, is that no one gives you a fucking manual in the box anymore. It's all, go to our...

    Have you bought from this site? That's a ridiculous deal, even before the 30% off. I looked around and the opinions of whether or not the site is legit is literally all over the place. Your own site, guru3d, someone said it is owned by China but just uses cheap keys bought internationally. I...

    Anyone ever buy their Windows license from PC World? Saw something the other day about it, and now that I'm hopefully going to have all the pieces tonight I'll need it, and this is way fucking cheaper. Sure I can go the Reddit route and buy from someone that has an enterprise license or such...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    I've said it here before, but on my TV I have a Shield, and I sideloaded SmartTube, which is constantly updating as necessary to combat YT fuckery, and is awesome. No ads, even has notifications when they do the whole "like and subscribe" or even in-video ads (like say NordVPN) where you can...

    The rest of my items are supposed to show up today (I have everything delivered to work for convenience, and incentive to come into work!) and just half an hour ago I got an email saying that the power supply wouldn't be here for weeks. So I had to order the 1000W version with free same day...

    I probably would have done something like that for the weekend, except the power supply and the processor didn't show up either, so yeah. I made a boot stick with windows 10 on it to see if I can repair the existing computer in the meantime, since I can't do shit with the new one over the weekend.

    Good thing I ordered all that computer shit the other day. My computer really took a giant shit last night. At first it was only a blue screen every once in awhile, but last night it quickly turned into a reboot loop. I eventually could get it to boot into safe mode multiple times and did...

    What did you just read?

    Glad to hear you are liking Swan Song. To be fair, it is kind of just a variation on King's The Stand, but with better writing (in most parts, King was still the king of character back then) and more likable characters. It came out after The Stand so it suffered a LOT of comparison, and...

    Superman: Legacy (2025)

    The good Dr. already mentioned one of his best, Slither. Hugely underrated movie. Aside from that I'm drawing a blank on anything that isn't Firefly or a long running series.

    You haven't watched a lot of Fillion's acting if you think he's more suited to a stoic role. He's literally the definition of sarcasm and snark.

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    In my defense, I credited you in the Desktop Computers thread where I first posted it! I blatantly took most of your build because it was pretty in-line with what I wanted, and like you I felt it was worth a couple hundred bucks more to make sure I would be good for maybe another 10 years...

    Thanks! I will take a look at it tonight, about to leave work and can shop to my heart's content. EDIT: Oh, and my 6 year old computer has 32GB, I gotta upgrade! For real though, I don't mind another hundred bucks to double it.

    Let's not forget the "heat map" or whatever it was that they showed inside that ball, as if it were some mysterious phenomenon. I mean, there are fucking welds right there I assume, meaning the thermal properties are going to be totally different along the seam. Why don't they show us...

    It was ok. I didn't turn it off and wander away halfway through like I tend to do these days. I hate Quaid's son, but I tolerated him. Decently entertaining. However, I miss Weinstein. As many memes have said recently, he was our barrier that kept mediocre bitches from starring in movies...

    Shamelessly stolen from Noodle's list, and some of the recent comments, here is my list. Note that I've already bought the GPU for $200 less. And as Kirun just commented about the processor, I'm fine with paying a little more for a higher end processor too. Anyone see anything wrong or...

    I missed that one somehow. But Southern California is still so far away from me that it might as well be another state. I forgot to look into Starforge stuff, because I heard good things. And I'll admit, my cable management might as well be nonexistent; but I'm the only one that really sees...
