I combined my warrant overtime, picking up a check from an old job, and signing for my VA stipend, so kind of cheating but whatever.

Not yet. Getting owned is doing that, and then being bumped up into a higher tax bracket.

Ehhh, if he actually knows what he's doing (probably not) and it's for business, then it's not the worst idea. If he's just doing it for himself, then he's an idiot and oh, by the way, gently caress you for driving up the cost of video cards.

Yeah, I did that very deliberately. You could have gotten the "but really, guys!!" response or the more realistic "ehhhh" response. I think we both know which one is preferable.

Pump and dump is something I would do on the reg in the portashitters in Iraq. Also known as a tug and plug when indoor plumbing is available.

I see no reason to Believe that the crypto market is anything more than an intricate plot to separate nerds from their money, Now that they’ve wised up and quit buying video game DLC. However. If I could figure out how to launch a shitcoin or sketchy af exchange and disappear with 25 million bucks or so I feel like it would be my divine right as an American to do so.

dadchat: Where can I obtain a tabletop? Meaning a rectangular, 2 foot by 4-6 foot, half inch to three quarters piece of pretreated, prestained wood? If I wasn't in an apartment and actually had proper tools I would just get the thing myself.

My idea is to make a new, very solid desk using a tabletop and two filing cabinets for the legs. If I were still in Connecticut I knew a few mom and pop stores I could get it from, but down here I have no idea.

I suppose I could also just buy a kitchen table that has the requirements that I want and just frankenstein it.

I am pretty sure most folks buy a piece from Ikea that does what you are looking for. If you look through /r battleststions on Reddit you will see the same desk top over and over.

IKEA and just use the top part.

Alternatively but a new desk because you just dropped $1500 on a GPU but a $200 desk is a bridge too far.

Figures that there would be an obscure subreddit for it.

There's an Ikea that's not too terribly far away at least.

edit: I didn't like any of the prebuilt desks I saw online before deciding to try and make my own >:(

Specialty wood shop. Lumber yard. Depends on what you're looking for. Lowes or HD will have a stuff like cedar, oak and pine. Anything crazier (like purple heart), you're going to need to look for the hobbyist style woodworking shops. And it's not likely you'd find it stained.

Just buy a desk.
