lol what the stonks are going to be closed for Juneteenth?

Like I said a while ago, when the music stops they'll be all out of knobs to turn this time.

ftfy

This came out on Steam "on sale" but it's still 50 fucking dollars.

Yeah it really depends on what upgrades you're talking about. I went from 4770k to 9700k to 12700k and saw big performance differences each time. I think the 9700k was kind an ill-conceived chip. I'm extremely satisfied with my 12700K for the price (less so on the Gigabyte motherboard I got...

Yeah you should definitely get a TV that supports Q-Symphony and has HDMI eARC.

lol this kind of talk is literally how communism started.

We must go faster!

Wait when the fuck did Ewan McGregor marry Mary Elizabeth WInstead... Anyway, I agree with Rich and Mike. The fact that it's cheap and clumsy and cheesy with moments of super-okay-ness is what I like about this show. It's not trying to be over-the-top and amazing. It actually feels like it...

That's a long time to wait to change your CPU these days.

Yeah this actually looks pretty good.

Evil is a pretty good business model.

lol what in the actual fuck with the indexes right now.

Slightly more expensive free money.

That's the old version. It produces some impressive results: However, the new version that's coming online is ridiculous: Check out this Twitter thread: (There's a bunch more in the thread, I just picked out some of the better ones.)

Exactly. I remember paying ~3.80 in RI for gas during Bush2Term2 two summers in a row while the job market was doing poorly nationally and terribly locally. The fact that people still somehow have cash in their pockets after paying food and gas expenses is why these prices won't come down. In...

That number is extremely deceptive because Americans don't count all the money they pay every paycheck for their healthcare as a tax because it goes to a private company. Once you add health insurance premiums paid for by the employee and their employer (which is still coming out of your total...

I wonder if they've tried lowering prices.

We'll all be dead by then who fucking cares.

These people can only make money in a boom/bust economy. They can't make money in a stable economy where you have to actually produce value to get ahead.

lol this happened to me with the Super Mario Brothers movie. Has that been mentioned so far in this thread? Also, I'm going to get a lot of shit for this, but I fucking hate Requiem for a Dream and walked out of it.

Two of my technical/engineering directors went to work for Amazon, along with a bunch of other people from my company in the cloud operations unit. The money must have been amazing for them to leave. This morning Zoom just offered me multiple positions related to implementing, managing or...

You need to invest in getting a cybersecurity vendor asap.

It not being flush hour is uh, nice.

If you found a murder in the morning, you found a murder. If you find murders all day, you're the murderer.

Tesla is a grift too? Who would have guessed.

The problem is differential. Cardboard expands and shrinks at different temperatures and humidity levels than the foil and plastic layer. This is actually how a mechanical thermostat works, two different materials changing shape at different rates. Therefore, anytime you change environments...

A bunch of bad news for some overextended unicorns does not make a recession. Plenty of parts of the economy are still growing and hiring. We're going into an incredibly disruptive re-alignment, but without the massive cushion of handouts that happened during the previous incredibly disruptive...

That's fake, I'm sure.

Working for a company is now an act of faith, apparently.

It's not deleted, this board has been being weird with Twitter embeds today. It's Musk trickery, I swear.

https://www.theatlantic.com/newsletters/archive/2022/06/uber-ride-share-prices-high-inflation/661250/ Good article on why the party is over for urban Millennials and Silicon Valley.

I already dug up a big section of my back yard built a pretty nice patio with a sand bed and concrete pavers and stuff last month in between escalations at work. Ditto for putting up a new ceiling in the bathroom. No stranger to hard work. But this is some rather difficult HVAC and plumbing...

lol, you'd be right but I'm not dumb enough to call these people myself, I've been having my stepdad call who used to work for a big plumbing supply company, and he knows all the contractors and still having a hard time finding someone.

I can't find a contractor that isn't booked out solid for months, to do any kind of work on my house. Some fucking recession this is.

People are probably withdrawing from crypto to cover margin calls.

lol the bloodbath continues.
