Buying just slightly below highest end (so 5700X3D/3080) is the best bang-for-the-buck of all, IMO.
I just upgraded my seven-year-old 1700X/Vega 56 system to 5700X3D/9070 XT, and I expect it to be good for probably another seven years at least, give or take failure of the original motherboard I’m still using.
Sorry, I was just trying to emphasize the more “sword-like” rather than “club-like” nature of the thing, not impugn their technology.
There’s a way to do that: it’s called “build your mod on top of a FOSS game instead of proprietary shit.”
The thing that annoys me about game modders is that they never seem to learn the lesson that they should just build on top of a FOSS game instead.
Or what happens when a society that doesn’t have metalworking wants to make a sword.
The trouble is, shutting down the government would play right into Trump’s hands because that’s what he wants to do anyway.
What we need is a general strike of everybody outside of government too.
I mean, the hope is that seeing all the unjust bullshit going on should galvanized you into action to stop it, not make you feel pointlessly miserable.
No, I’m in love with having my property rights respected instead of letting corporations sabotage my computer against me.
The real question is, why do non-Linux-users all insist on being simps and cucks and then have the gall to act like I’m the weird one?
None of those are good enough excuses to jettison your self-respect and allow yourself to be milked like cattle.
You should definitely paint all the surfaces that aren’t machined, as that’s very likely how it would have been originally.
Also, what’s dull about restoring a tool? There are entire YouTube channels devoted to it that are pretty darn popular. (Or so I’m told, as I would surely not watch something so dull myself. <AwkwardLookMonkeyPuppet.jpg>)
FYI, the ACLU mobile justice app shut down at the end of February.
https://www.aclu.org/mobilejustice
To ensure compliance with a growing number of consumer privacy laws and the ACLU’s own privacy policies and to minimize risk with surveillance technologies currently used by law enforcement, the national office has made the decision not to renew our contract with Quadrant 2, the vendor behind Mobile Justice, and shut down the app on February 28, 2025.
Friend/coworker recently told me that i don’t have a ‘game face.’ Now I’m self conscious that everyone knows what I’m really thinking.
You’re confusing it with “poker face.” “Game face” is when you try to look determined in order to intimidate the other team.
Hope that helps!
So has the US, in theory.
Reminds me of the story from the other day about how 80%? of hours spent playing PC games are on titles more than 6 years old.
Hell, I just upgraded my video card for the first time in seven years, but the reason I did it was mainly due to factors like avoiding increased future costs due to tariffs and wanting modern API support for stuff like raytracing and experimenting with LLMs, not because there was some particular new game I had in mind that required it.
Realistically, I want a Seawind 1160. Unfortunately, I’ve been keeping an eye on prices for used ones since before the pandemic, and they never seem to get any cheaper. 🙁
Most Americans have no idea how historically similar the US and Argentina actually were. It’s honestly weird that Argentina’s similar circumstances didn’t turn it into a great power like the US.
The Pacific Garbage patch isn’t solid enough to dock on.
Also, Pacific atolls will be fucked, but high islands will be fine.
Also, WarGames was very accurate, except for the “WOPR having artificial general intelligence” part.
She’s still alive, which means the Nobel Committee can and should fix this injustice. We just need to make them do it.
I’d be kinda embarrassed to be compared to Johnny Bravo, though.
