They do this with Early Access and people still lose their shit about empty content and unfinished graphics in a game they paid $10 for.

I want a girl who is unvaccinated
I want a girl who prays in tongues
At a MAGA rally we will meet accidentally
We'll start to talk when she is spoken to
She wants to work on her fit, fit body
She wants to rock it with her modest clothes
She's changing her surname to whatever mine is
She's trading her career to raise our nine kids

I want a girl with a short leash and who looooooves, loooooooooves Jesus!

I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don't really think about, though they're good. I guess we all have a threshold or we'd be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.

My friend used to climb massive pine trees late at night in a park across his street, and place traffic cones on top. No one knew who was doing it or why. Many people thought it was the local council marking the trees to be cut down which upset residents. He started noticing police regularly patrolling the area, but he kept doing it and never got caught. It made the local paper, explaining how much confusion and disruption it was causing the police and local council. He hung the article on his wall.

Went on to become a stuntman https://imdb.com/name/nm3068647/

Go a step before that. Why'd God put the tree there in the first place?

God created sin, introduced it to humanity, and ensured evil would spread across the earth.

Just in case you're like me and forget to pay attention for a moment and three more albums slide on by without realising. It's also excellent, as usual. Probably a top 3 of their disco for my personal taste.

Because some genius in Japan wanted to know what would happen if you put a 4×4 drivetrain into a van.

The elevation change and subsequent plank scrape made eau rouge look like it had a shit stain.

You forgot what they're already saying; God sent his angels to move the bullet.

Don't want to make any Americans feel bad, but that's where your country is at right now. No one's going to think less of you if you'd like to come join us elsewhere.

And no, you cannot find the original post anymore. At least it's missing for me, the OP, unless I locate it through inbox history.

Coincidentally, the meme was about mods on shitposts lol. I'll be banned soon 🫡

Seeing him wave to the Lance Stroll Grandstand, I got wondering on his popularity with F1 fans from his home country.

Transcriptions of Trump are often 200 word sentences muddled with em-dashes as new thoughts appear, sometimes eventually coming back to the original point and finally coming to rest with a period.

Gaming

  • Mostly a huge array of co-op games, performance doesn't matter much, just good 1440 frame rate with high settings.
  • HOWEVER, sim racing is my exception and I'm wanting to upgrade from a single 27" to something more immersive. Considering I'm on the most minimal, a TV, triple 24s, or VR are all big immersion upgrades, but each with their pros and cons. But all demanding more of the GPU,ideally keeping rates at 120, even 90 maybe... 1080 for triples, but ideally 1440 all-round to make use of FSR better.

Data Science

  • I need my PC to be a workhorse. Many hours of my week are ETL of big datasets and complex models. Lots of calculation time and lots of loading tables/arrays into memory for queries and transforms.
  • Ive recently gone up to 32GB DDR4 3600 (going to go to 64) and an R9 5900X. It's done nothing huge for gaming, but it's increased my data crunching tasks significantly.

What I have right now...

Guts

  • Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
  • MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card
  • Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

Storage (This is way behind)

  • Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
  • Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
  • And some ancient 2TB 7200 HDD that's a dying archive only drive

Primary display

  • Acer Nitro XZ272U Pbmiiphx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor

Cooling

  • Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case
  • Deepcool LT520 85.85 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Where I'm stuck...

  • Should I go up to AM5 even though I just got the 5900X?
  • Do I then go DDR5 instead of 64GB DDR4 or am I getting too many year's ahead of myself?
  • The 6700XT is not overclocking friendly, for sim racing I may need to bump up if going for more display.
  • For storage, what's the best way to go for a bunch of games installed, but also not having stuff get in the way of data crunching applications and calculations? Should I reserve a drive purely for data? Can I dedicate anything to it on top of the 64GM RAM coming in?
  • Lastly, the display conundrum for sim racing; VR, TV, triples... 49" UW on top of any above upgrades is just way over budget.

I'm basically just after ideas of what to prioritise next, what can wait a while, and what path I should be starting on for future-proofing without spending the budget on future gear too soon while it's all expensive.

Advice much appreciated.

It's from 2019. And, yes, it totally backfired. Even the Bern got on it https://x.com/BernieSanders/status/1126606568454279169?s=20

While he's there under oath, can they get some HL3 info out of him?

To be fair, it must be pretty hard being Trump's lawyer. I imagine there's a lot of, "Is there anything else you should be telling us?" and "Are you certain of that or would you like to try remember more or double-check first?" conversations. Then you get in court and shit still goes terribly because your client's like a kid with chocolate on their mouth and told you he didn't eat the cupcakes.

American Christianity. It's like Christianity but cutting out all the stuff that Christ guy talked about.

Ah, I know what it was. It was my birthday and I was camping in an area without reception. I've suspected for a while now that my reality's a simulation and so obviously none of you needed to be rendered that day.

Sorry if this causes any existential crisis' but you'll need to take that up with the Makers.

Might've been an outage in service or tracking, or denial of service, but seems far less likely.

As a professional in this field, top reasons would be...

  • Dissatisfaction with pay
  • Limited/No career progression
  • Dissatisfaction with environment/culture
  • Dissatisfaction with management
  • Poor work-life balance
  • Poor job design/expectations of role
  • Poor taining quality/knowledge management
  • Inadequate tools/systems

Edit: I should also point out we have about half a dozen ping-pong tables scattered around my work and our turnover figures were bang on average for annual benchmarking against the sector. I consider the average too high, though, and will be targeting better retention over this year. We'll need at least double the amount of ping-pong tables.
