Well that's not very typical

96 in a 45? That's only +51. What is this, amateur hour? Hell, I can do that in a fucking first-gen Prius. And the road has a long straightaway. The fuck are they scared of?

Out of my way, I'll be +100 over without breaking a sweat.

Collectively: "why would we upgrade just one generation?"

Like, sure, I have a Threadripper 1st and 2nd gen. I'm weird like that. I have a VII and a 7900 XTX. But the 7xxx is fine. I went from TR 2950X to the 7800X3D. Do I want more cores? Fuck yeah. Am I going to pay thousands of dollars for a modern high-core TR? Lmfao no.

If I was building a new machine for someone, sure, 9xxx. But shit, even a 3xxx in my network is still kicking ass. Why the hell would I upgrade when I don't want to? And the 7xxx is cheaper and - mostly - offers the same performance.

Drop the price if they want to sell more, simple as that. And don't expect upgrades every release family.

...duh, Radarr...

Hello.

What? You die at like 32, gramps.

STOP KINKSHAMING ME 😤

Oh no, I'm so sorry. About living in Ohio, I might.

Uh, they are actually native to Cupertino...

lifts it with just two fingers

oh shit, it's true

Correct, this is not the same bridge

I've said this elsewhere in the thread, but I have had suicidal ideation... 'events' as well, never called though. If you want someone to talk to (anyone else, too! yes, that means you, hi!), reach out and message me. I know this shit all too well and I don't mind in the slightest, talking to someone who needs - or just wants - to communicate with someone who 'gets it'.

No pressure, I just want to help others like myself.
