    Coronavirus Updates, Important Information, and Ancedotal Experience

    Friend been in the ICU for 18 days now. They told him he's over the "death phase" and want to try experiment treatment because they can't figure out how to make him recover. 33 year old diabetic smoker. So many people have been telling me I'd be fine if I got it.... I'm not so sure

    Considered it but just couldn't. I was willing to go AMD CPU. Tough pill to swallow I'm not complaining too hard about Amazon, I know my computer means so little when covid is going around

    Forgot to look there. I ended up cancelling my Amazon order. Both Mobo and gpu showed out of stock but "coming Tuesday". Best buy had the Mobo and an MSI for sale so I ordered through them and they'll be here Wednesday

    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...

    It sounds like Mobo or.psu to me too. Leaning towards Mobo if you're having random socket failures

    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
