  1. I got a 5800x3d for Christmas from my wife. She picked it up on Black Friday. I’ll upgrade my gpu with the uncut navi 32 next year!
  2. From what I’ve read, a 2nd Trump term would be far worse than the 1st. Loyalty would be the only characteristic he would pick, and he plans to fire every government employee and replace them with his loyal followers.
  3. Yeah the committee structure with a 50-50 senate made it a lot more difficult.
  4. I wasn’t worried, but the outcome was uncertain even knowing what you just said. There are a lot of variables.
  5. This win could be even more consequential going forward into 2024.
  6. I may regret saying this, but I would still rather have him than Trump.
  7. I always pictured Indonesia as being kind of reasonable, relatively speaking. I haven’t studied or been to the country.
  8. To be clear, I don’t know how much it will wear it down. Warnock probably won but I am not looking at the county data.
  9. Georgia Senate Runoff Election Results 2022 WWW.NBCNEWS.COM Live Georgia Senate runoff election results 2022, including votes, live maps and poll results for Senator Raphael Warnock and Herschel Walker by county. Looks like a substantial early lead for Warnock with the early votes counted. I am assuming what’s left will gradually wear away the +10.
  10. The stock market was basically flat by the close, but initially dropped because the report indicates the job market is still fairly strong and the Fed is trying to tap the brakes to bring about price stability. That could means more rate hikes and a longer period of time that rates are left high.
  11. Republicans giving the sick days would have been smart politics too. Idiots.
  12. With the way railroad companies treat everyone, not just their workers, but the public in general and even adjacent land owners, I would be okay with this. They are massively protected by the Feds. It’s like a quasi private entity that has the government backing it on everything. It might as well be public.
  13. Good stuff. Let’s see if we can get marijuana banking and expungement grants next.
  14. No order: 1. Warcraft 3 The Frozen Throne 2. Tie Fighter 3. Age of Empires 3 4. Ultima Online 5. The Witcher 3 6. Dishonored 2 7. Mass Effect 2 8. Crusader Kings 2/3 9. Baldur’s Gate 2 10. Dragon Age Origins Runner ups: Stellaris, Pillars of Eternity 2, Tyranny, Persona 4/5, Morrowind, Doom (90s), Super Mario 3, League of Legends, Disco Elysium, The Legend of Zelda, StarCraft 2, Kotor Replaced StarCraft 2 with Tie Fighter.
  15. DeSantis polling well in other polls may have been a result of the election night high coupled with the fact Trump hadn't announced yet. I'm not surprised at all. Trump wins the nomination and goes all the way.
  16. Sounds a lot like me over 20 years ago playing Ultima Online for several years. I was completely obsessed. Those were the days!
  17. 4080 pricing doesn’t make sense in the context of the 4090. And all these new prices are from an era when crypto was drastically increasing demand above supply. The 3080ti is a great example of something that was already overpriced at $1199 when it came out. The 3080 was $699. Nvidia saw the amount people were paying for cards because of crypto so they jacked the price way up to capture some of that. I don’t blame them for that at the time, but since then crypto has crashed hard and nvidia and Amd are trying to normalize those prices for gamers. https://videocardz.com/newz/nvidia-has-sold-160k-geforce-rtx-40-graphics-cards-already-but-stores-are-still-full-of-rtx-4080s
  18. Let it burn. It’s garbage. If you want to invest, stick with diversified equity funds like VT, VTI/VXUS.
  19. Jack or John? Or does it even matter? Either way that’s as American as it gets.
  20. This election gave me some hope, but I'm not betting against Trump taking the whole thing still.
