    All of neweggs 2070 supers are 700+ now probably from gougers. My Amazon card says it'll show up between 19-22 of April but has t shopped yet. Best buy locally has an MSI though. Considering cancelling and going there and grabbing it but not sure if I should just wait it out

    If it makes you feel better I've heard lice are attracted to people with clean heads I just meant in general I had to call the police chief, schedule a time, organize our entire families to go by in a parade, etc. Wasn't like crazy strings haha

    We have a friend that's been in the ICU for 18 days (they're doing experimental treatment now because he's not dying.. but not getting better). Same age as me with two kids. No thanks And both Crone and I are at risk even though we aren't elderly.

    I'm with dirk, but I'm also in MA which is a very dangerous place right now. Depends where you are. I don't trust a teenager on a good day, let alone during a pandemic. If your wife wants to garden I wouldn't complain, anytime my wife finds a hobby it means she stops bitching at me about...

    Fire Dept rolled out 6 trucks, two SUVs, and two ambulances today for my son's birthday. Just blasted the everloving fuck out of the neighborhood and stopped traffic. Family members were behind the parade too. He was ecstatic but also confused. Hopefully one day he realizes how incredible it was...

    Every meal? God you must be like those dudes at work that brush their teeth twice during the workday We had a kid in college that when he'd enter a classroom it would instantly smell like sweat, feet, BO, and piss. And the aroma would fill entire classrooms and be extremely potent. I can't even...

    You can but you'd be running single channel which is generally frowned upon. If you had two sticks of 8 and they work together and new sticks don't then new sticks are bad. If your old sticks don't work in one of the slots then you did something bad pulling them out

    Health Problems

    Haven't lost much weight yet on intermittent fasting but my body has adjusted to it since I've done it for a few weeks now. The only issue is sometimes around 9-10 I have to eat because I get really low blood sugar. I just have to eat that much later the next day. Going to the Dr is out of the...

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    Encrypting/Decrypting memory on the fly would be such an extreme overhead that the game would suffer greatly. Also I'm not a game engineer, but I'd be really surprised if game devs are managing memory at that level at all ouside of some specific cases

    VALORANT - Riot Games

    They recently said anyone streaming valorant can have drops enabled (takes about ten minutes to turn active), so that's nice. I was watching Hiko a bit but goddamn he started getting annoying as fuck and super condescending to people. The problem is valorant isn't a very good game to spectate.

    My wife and kids are home everyday too, but I do have a dedicated office. It's also the playroom, but as long as I'm here they can't use it. I just pop in headphones and drown out the noise. Because a 3 and 5 year old can be loud as fuck.

    I definitely am more productive at home. I think because I end up tossing on headphones with twitch on and just put my head down and work. In the office I'm often bombarded by people coming by a lot. I don't feel comfortable putting twitch on at work, etc. Plus I'm saving two hours of commuting...

    Yeah I talked about it in another thread but the company (Dell, not just the EMC subsidiary) wanted to go 50% work from home by 2020. Right now we've got something like 127k+ employees working from home. There's still really old people in charge that don't understand how people can be...

    Twitch.tv

    Millions of people watch twitch every second, and it's really easy to support someone on twitch. There are no weird porn ads popping up when you click things and everything is so seamless. The tube/hub sites are much different. Don't forget. Lots of dudes go to Hooters for the chicks

    That's true on all accounts. I'm glad our work is flexible where if you have kids they say work whatever hours you can, even if it's super late instead. We've had some troubles with no one being in the office but we could get away with going in once in awhile. Only problem I have is my kids...

    The problem with their entire logic is it boils down to "Don't worry just trust us" Yeah. No. How do we know you aren't going to "accidentally" enable backdoor features and start sending data back to China, or worse .. the US govt. I'm a software engineer, I'm not a retard.
