Hi TFF Chat. Occasional CFB poster here.

Over a decade ago there was a screenshot where the chyron was something like 'NFL Generic' and 'AAAAAAG' (some combination of A's and G's, no idea how many). I want to say it had Ben Roethlisberger in some state of dismay or incredulousness.

Can anyone post or link said screenshot? Thanks.

Yes and no. Yes, impossible to find at retail price, no, just hit up https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313&_nkw=3080+rtx&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=3080 and please don't buy from those loving pieces of poo poo.

Nah, the newer graphics cards are apparently not significantly better for their price then older ones for bitcoin mining (or weird dedicated math cards), it's primarily a everyone's stuck at home gaming, and the production facilities were shut down for months earlier this year due to covid.

There's a chip shortage atm due to covid-19 but also miners are buying them up, but also scalpers.

It's gotten to the point that miners are buying up any laptops with 30 series in them too because of the desktop shortages.

it's more likely connected to the crunch on global semiconductors that's also impacting automotive production. a bunch of the suppliers slowed down because of the pandemic, and those things are on the "ocean liner" side of the speed with which they can get spun back up.

PS5s and Xbox Serieses are also likely to be impacted too.

Yes. It took me about 3 months to get my 3080, and that was with me sitting in Discord servers that sent notifications as soon as stock dropped.

If you want a chance, head over to the NVidia thread in SH/SC and get the Discord links. Here is the one that seems to be best, but there are others:

Does this kinda suck

401k matching posted:

Employees may contribute to the plan immediately.
Mission Health System provides a 50% match (of match
eligible compensation) up to the first 6% of your salary
deferrals after 1 year and 1,000 hours w orked.
Matching funds provided per pay period.
Matching funds are vested 100% after 3 years of
qualified service.

6% is higher than I remember most employers offering in match, although 1 year before kicking in seems longer than I remember. Most jobs I had (that weren't straight "gently caress you here's your check") were around 3-4% and kicked in after six months.

lol oh wait, 50% match of your first 6%, what a goddamn laugh

Looks pretty common from my experience.

quote:

KEY TAKEAWAYS

The average matching contribution is 4.3% of the person's pay.

The most common match is 50 cents on the dollar up to 6% of the employee's pay.

Some employers match dollar for dollar up to a maximum amount of 3%.

I may be exposing myself as a complete math fuckup here, but 100% of 3 vs 50% of 6 is the same company contribution, and the rule of thumb is save 10%, so if the goal is to get the equivalent of 10% into a retirement account, the employee contribution of that 10% is the same in 100% of 3 vs 50% of 6?

I am just thankful every day for my defined benefit plan that the state was unable to gently caress up in the recession so it'll probably be there when I need it so I personally don't have to care about the market. That's some comptrollers job.

The reason is probably in hopes a certain amount of employees are not going to put 6% of their check away that would put in 3%.

It's amazing what they can do with computers these days.

That 401k is not great, but there are worse. Not vesting for 3 years, and not applying for the first year are the worst parts. My current job does 100% up to 4%, and my previous job was like 25% up to 8%, so actually just 2% matching. Just make sure to defer at least 6% to get the full match.

100 people sitting in a meeting waiting for three reps from a vendor to figure out how to connect.

One connects and constantly keeps trying to talk without unmuting himself.

Another connects from both his computer and phone, with the phone on speaker, causing constant feedback for everyone.

The other just can't get her darn camera to work, bless her little heart.
