That's some serious lag when you can get that close to the thing and the textures still haven't loaded. What's your ping time?
Is there an !outside yet? This is gold
Might be faulty VRAM.
Good luck buying a new GPU nowadays... I've been dealing with overheating issues for the last couple of years, might need to change the thermal paste

As a homeowner I’m more convinced this is the quality of contractors these days. For triple pre-2020 prices.
MRW I BECAME A HOMEOWNER:
As a contractor who takes pride in my work, seeing things like this baffles me - and honestly, it’s not that uncommon either. I just don’t get it. Even if they somehow manage to get the client to pay for this, there’s no way they’ll be hired again. Meanwhile, about half of my clients are repeat customers. No wonder it's so easy to stand out when the bar is this low.
This is 100% a painter who's worked with this person/company before. In the contract I'm betting it says "before we paint, remove all utilities and covers from the wall, anything left will be painted"
The first six times they did the work, stuff was left up, and they spent an hour removing everything before they started. This time, they said fuck it. We told you to take it down, this is what you're getting now.
I like to think this is the case. I'd prefer to think it was the customer who screwed this up rather than the contractor.
My landlords literally did worse than this, they painted everything that wasn't a glossy white "trim". Door hinge, Washer and dryer OUTLET COVER, Normal outlet covers (but not all of them...), and best of all, the FN bath tub... in an egg shell white powder coat PRIMER (with popcorn ceilings AND walls because fml) and ANY drop of water stains the walls for hours.
I was behind somebody in the queue at Screwfix who was asking for advice after their landlord had glossed the inside of their BATH. What a lunatic.
I've also lived in houses that had the entire bathtub/shower painted over with high gloss paint. It looked tacky af and it flaked obviously. Not that we had the time to complain about it though, that was very low on the list of issues. Have you ever seen mushroom caps sprouting from the ceiling? Same house
Yeah my landlord at my old place painted my tub. Then the paint would chip away while i showered and she would paint it again.
my house used to be rented out and got the "landlord special" regularly.
i was sanding the walls to prepare for a coat of paint and i found a baseball sized hole they had just put painters tape over and proceeded to paint over the tape.
that is impressive laziness. it takes almost no effort, time or money to plaster. especially when you're already painting
Tbf that could have been done by tenants who figured the landlord would use that damage to argue they should lose their entire deposit despite not costing nearly that much to repair properly.
Not that it wouldn't be plausible that the landlord did it themselves or hired someone who didn't know what they were doing but were willing to do it cheap, like Ricky.
My landlord spray-painted over all our cabinets with vinyl. Did a shit job and now paint flakes come off into our dishes. They said it was too expensive to fix 🤷♂️
Good chance this is illegal. Though it varies wildly, many jurisdictions have implied warranties of habitability that require your landlord fix stuff while giving you a legal path to withhold rent or pay for repairs in lieu of rent when they don't.
Oh it's 100% illegal but it's not worth the battle. Landlord is just a landlord on the side, her main gig is an attorney. Sounds like an expensive nightmare for us if we even try to push it beyond what we already have.
They painted the whole house in an hour using a pressure washer, right?
Still better than a guy who painted over a cockroach though. Probably.
They call it "touch typing"
Guess the temperature! It's like the price is right with your utility bill!
FFS.
What is that? An alarm control panel maybe?
Napco Gemini GEM-P800.
Excuse me sir, I believe that would be a GEM-RP8LCD as that is the keypad and not the control panel. /s
I swear you guys are worse than the porn aficionados.
Could be the agreement stated the painters weren't responsible for masking anything not to be painted
Which is still the landlord's fault
