There's still enough daylight out that I can start digging my own grave to lay in and die instead of dealing with work tomorrow.

You were comfortable with electricity but you'd never moved an electric stove before to clean behind it? Installed an electric hot water heater or a large AC unit? jfc.

Do you get to murder the lego younglings?

If you want a 3080 ti the prices on them are actually quite reasonable I think. If you want something else its still hard to find decent ones in stock. Like if I wanted a video card RIGHT NOW I would buy one of these: https://www.evga.com/products/product.aspx?pn=12G-P5-3955-KR Because I...

I got a 3080 FE for MSRP in Nov 2020. :) :)

QA is a decent way to get in the industry but if you spend more than 2-3 years in that position you're definitely a dead-ender, but you can say that about basically any entry-level tech job that isn't a jr developer.

That backpack doesn't look much better than the one my employer sent me that I never use.

These are fucking great. They're so much better than regular sour patch kids and regular sour patch kids are awesome.

Yeah that screwdriver looks nuts. I've got the Ifixit stuff and I've been able to fix a few tablets for people with it, haven't tried a phone yet. I also made some cool fidget spinners for my nephew using parts from old platter hard drives. I am definitely interested in the screwdriver...

It goes up and then it goes down. :/

Now if there were only some quality to assure.

My only real complaint about the game is the too-easy and anti-climactic ending. If you're going to have a final boss that easy, there should be some Emerald Weapon level post-game shit.

I don't see how the second part of your statement tracks. We got to 8% inflation because of energy prices, housing prices, car prices, materials prices, Fed money printing, over a decade of low Fed interest rates finally catching up to us once the music stopped, businesses getting their...

It's just confirmation bias. There's 49 side quests and like 5 of them reference teh gays and shit. Granted like 15 more have heavy girlpower bullshit overtones but that's kind of on-brand for the series. The writing is definitely uneven on the side quests and errands, but less so than in the...

I have absolutely no faith that the workforce participation rate is capturing anywhere even close to all consistently reoccurring income generating activities. Aka a whole bunch of people found some hustle that pays the bills that isn't yet being accounted for. And this has probably been going...

Markets like free money, period.

I've been putting my 3080 to good use playing Dead Cells and Death's Door.

Just put it all in Ethereum.

Well that could have been worse... I guess.

Use the Windows DPI Scaling, no it will not fuck up 99% of games, and the 1% it does fuck up can be run in compatibility mode.

I don't think they'll go below $1200 for the ti, so if you see one you like for 1300 it might just be worth eating the 100 dollar effective loss, or waiting for the next generation...

That's why I specifically said healthcare workers, because they were exempt from the SC ruling. People also need to understand that the SC ruling only prevents OSHA from enforcing that all employers mandate vaccinations. It does not prevent employers from mandating vaccinations on their own...

We live in a country where you can be fired for getting an abortion, using birth control, getting invitro fertilization, being a smoker, or any number of things, depending on jurisdiction. A healthcare provider can certainly fire you for not getting vaccinated. You can also definitely be fired...

They are targeting Nvidia 3070 levels of performance with their flagship card in the first generation. They have a 6nm process node, and experience getting lot of performance out of very little hardware power at the onboard GPU level, I think people are dramatically underestimating them. Even...

Yeah it does appear that this was sort of the problem here.

I would just get a different job because I'm not worthless.

Replacing a significant number of workers in any job that revolves around a complex in-house-built toolchain, and then bringing the new employees up to speed to the point where they're actually useful, is really fucking hard, considering I'm willing to bet that in the last round of layoffs...

You mean like healthcare workers who think their employers can't tell them to get shots? lol. Your employer tells you to do something, and you are insubordinate and don't do it, you generally get fired.

Oh I see we're sucking again today.

I actually think the Intel GPU is going to put a lot of pressure on the midrange cards like the 6600 and 6700 series. The Intel card also supposedly works with the onchip GPU to do some interesting things regarding distributed processing and efficiency. It'll be 2+ years before Intel has...

The game feels the strange need to pass the Bechdel test - Wikipedia every few quests. Though I did find it funny that the sidequest with Talanah from the first game ended up being all about man in the end. :trump:

The first 3 years I was making 'real' money at my second-shift-in-hell job, I was working an average of 75 hours a week and didn't contribute to my 401k because I had no time to even have rational thoughts and step through the process of setting it all up. I gave the government so much free...

I dunno, some of the lengthy climbing / light puzzle sections can get annoying if you're not in the mood, I don't thing his point is entirely off-base. That said, yes, all climbing sections and puzzles have checkpoints for when/if you fall.

The real thing is that there was no shortage. Far more 3000 series GPUs were produced and sold than 2000 series GPUs were, and way more 6000 series GPUs were produced and sold than 4000 or 5000 series despite the fact that so much fab capacity was also being taken up by consoles. Demand was...

I mean, it's formulaic. The main story missions generally involve combat sections, platformy puzzle sections, dialog/plot sections, rinse repeat. The first game was the same way. These games are a lot like Assassins Creed where they basically just stick to the same formula for the whole game...

The first region after the tutorial funnels you into a what is effectively a very small area filled with a bunch of related side quests. The game has at least 3 major story milestones (the end of the tutorial, then 2 more) before the whole map opens up, and then 3 more metroid-vania style...

Except we know there was a shortage because it affected every single industry that uses GPUs and also all 3 major consoles. And we also know that a major contributor to the raised MSRP prices were the tariffs. We also know that the first party producers, AMD and Nvidia themselves, did not...

Not all, but certainly a lot. I was going to link this earlier but these cards really need to see the price cut soon.
