    Have Ryzen 5, 2600 + rx570 I got last year. Worth it to get a 1660 to go with it? Looking at the computer bottleneck thing that shows about the best pairing for what I have. 0.07% bottleneck. Not going to big dick it like some of you guys with a 3080ti etc, so unsure if there is any reason to...

    Barring any 2020 economic voodoo, it should collapse. I bought my house 5 years ago, for 105k. Sold it last week for 165k. Zero improvements. Feels like a bubble.

    Looks pretty damn wild. Have no idea how to use it, or how it works, but should be great for devs. Lol

    Less people will be buying or building. People will have less ability to pay rent. Businesses are dying by the millions. The price should go down. But in fucking la la 2020 bizzaro world . . .

    I meant it takes a lot of energy to create the hydrogen used.

    My understanding is hydrogen will take off at the same time as fusion / g5 nuclear / free energy.

    They have significantly increased the difficulty I think. Was able to crush the hardest setting until a month or two ago. Now I'm getting crushed. Graphics update the other day too. Haven't checked it out yet tho

    That's part of my pickle, I'm renting currently so I have zero large physical assets

    Physical = real estate, factories, agricultural land, etc. Not just bullion. Even paintings etc. Items where the relative value is retained while currency gets watered down. I sold my only large physical asset, and glad I did. Now I need to replace it.

    Buying a pound of gold was a joke. But one that hinted at my utter lack of faith in whatever this economic event is turning out well. And physical items should perform well with inflation

    Well, just sold my real estate. There SHOULD be a lot of foreclosures etc over the next year or two. So hoping to get back in closer to where I live and cheaper.

    Car ?'s

    @Foler Here. It honestly doesn't bother me too much or I would have looked into it more. Aftermarket was the wrong term, but you can grab parts out of wrecked high end models for cheap.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    Would have to strip the glue off the crap quality rubber or plastic or whatever it is. Sounds like time, headache, and I'd do a shit job. Been thinking about putting some money into it, might get some aftermarket panels.

    I get that. But with the GDP / unemployment, why arent we seeing ppl like our 2 pros moving heavily into things geared for a massive recession / depression? Is it just "Dont fight the Fed"?

    Anti American sentiment just killed TSLA in China. Sold off what I have. Thinking about going completely cash, and waiting for real estate later this year. Was listening to some guys last night, and they were talking about short term deflationary causes vs long term inflationary actions etc...

    The premium on physical right now is insane. Its one of the reasons its so appealing. Spot has nothing to do with market cost.

    I have no idea. Lol. Seems fine? Only thing is the inside door panel is coming undone at the window. It's sat in the sun for 4+ years so expected.

    I have a 2016 charger. Almost 90k miles. No issues. The ride is kinda booty, but it's got a lot of space and was cheap.

    Having construction exp etc will save you a shit load of costs. Some of that crap I dont mess w/, like plumbing / electric. But be sure to add in costs of big items. Get life expectancy of it, take like 20% off the top for shit quality of 2020 and bad luck, then add in it.
