So I screwed around for a month before buying a GPU and discover they've basically all doubled in price. What the hell.

Time for my bi-annual two weeks of hating NBC. Seriously. I hate them. Greedy pigs. Even when you can stream live, they break in with commercials every couple minutes, regardless of what is happening in the event. Could be the end of a run.

That said. They’re slowly getting better. Slowly and I assume reluctantly coming into the 21st century.

It got nuts for a while there. Some were approaching triple. Crypto needs to die off or AMD/Nvidia need to obnoxiously increase output. I got an RX 480 last year for $220, its worth almost $600 now. If my cpu had integrated graphics, Ryzen r5 1600 so it doesn't, I'd sell it and wait for the market to come down. Given that my pc wouldn't output a video signal without it I can't. RAM is also really high right now as some manufacturers are switching to produce mobile RAM instead of DIMMs. Now isn't the best time to get into PC building unless you've got cash to burn. Pre-builts and gaming laptops look like good deals right about now.

Idiot sheeple suckered into the latest bubble are burning coal to "mine" vaporware currency, causing GPU prices to be ridiculous. bitcoin bubble needs to burst and send these idiots to the poor house.

Give it time. They always do.

it's been awful for 4 or 5 years now, but it became unbearable when Edmonton and Toronto got McDavid and Matthews. If you aren't specifically talking about them, they somehow find a way to give you shit about it.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

I'm still waiting to the league to give Getzlaf his Vezina.

Even when we post about Kase being one of the best young players some Leafs fans come out and say Kapanen/Leivo/Dermott/etc are way better making Kase not one of the best young players in the league..

I'm not even sure they are better, let alone way better.

But then all of their prospects are amazing, from what I hear.

Yeah it’s really bad. Multiple people defending Buff punching a guy who is defenseless and on the ground, and some saying they wish Greer was put in the hospital.

I though the r/hockey subreddit was bad, but the HF main board is actually full of terrible people.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

R/hockey is pretty good outside of the GDTs, which get really testy really quickly.

Just watched Teemu and Jiggy's final lap again. I watch it once or so a year. Every time I think I won't cry,and every time I do. They were my last NHL heroes that were Ducks. I'm older than Getzlaf and Perry and Beauch is up there but not quite a hero. Just seeing those guys in uniform and Teemu having impeccable sense to know we wanted to say goodbye to Jiggy as well, I just can't feel that love for a player anymore,for some reason. Those guys were it.

All my hockey feels came back hall of fame night. I truly loved watching those two and seeing them back together was just everything.

29 degrees this morning in Corona.

It cold.

I've lived in LA and Chicago, and I hate Oklahoma weather more than either. Zero consistency. I woke up and it was 68 outside. It's now low 37. Earlier this year there was a 40+ degree swing in 2 days.

 

[SirQuacksALot]

23, feels like 13.

 

[duckaroosky]

Its 52 degrees in Guelph today

 

[SirQuacksALot]

Canada doesn't deserve hockey teams.

So the case I ordered for my new PC (Corsair 780T) arrived today and it's.....slightly larger than I anticipated. My wife asked if we really needed a new coffee table.

Are you planning on building a pc or smuggling a small family across the border?

Well I'll admit I didn't even check the dimensions on the thing. I just wanted something with lots of airflow space and elbow room for tinkering, and easy access. To be honest I didn't conceive that they even made towers this big. I've never seen anything like it.
