When I got the 1080ti for standard MSRP a few years ago, it almost seemed like too much for the games/monitor I had or foolish “future-proof” buying, but it’s the one weird time it worked out very well.

I guess I should put myself on a waitlist, cause I’d like to be able to support an ultra wide monitor comfortably or maybe VR some day.

It's kind of amazing that useless rich people have found an avenue for conspicuous consumption that is even more wasteful and pointless than Italian supercars.

Australia cares about cunts. Including this one.

Their big suppliers are Lam West and McCain. Both of which are mainly in the Idaho/Alberta area and the potato crop out there was awful this year because of drought.

There will be massive shortages or price increases on potato products soon. Supply chain is mega hosed and it’s not just potatoes. Oil and batter ingredient shortages are causing problems with production and some customers like “Wandas” are doing marketing blitzes about new fries because their old recipe is literally impossible because of the lack of ingredients.

I comfortably ran VR with a 1060 6GB. Skyrim VR, Fallout VR, & Elite Dangerous all ran fine. Your 1080ti should be plenty.

I was somewhat worried when the workers voted down the initial tentative agreement and Kellogg said they'd simply bring in permanent scabs. But then poo poo like this basically started happening that crossed party lines:

Union members vote and the WE'LL JUST GET SCABS was obvious bullshit bluster in a tight labor market (in hindsight). Kroger-branded Frosted Flakes were pretty bad tbh

Sportsball and vaccinations have come up lately, here's some states from the NBA:

With how hosed up vaccinations tend to get my arms, I kinda get where players are coming from if they're delaying boosters in the middle of the season, but they should just get a "load management" week off or some poo poo.

Yeah, just got my moderna booster last night and my arm was half useless working construction today. Thankfully it's winter so nothing crazy. But I knew the job ahead of time and planned it so I could skate a couple days. Can't imagine having a dead arm and chills etc for a few days while trying to maintain a world class edge in the NBA. Same time it's better alive than dead.

Dr. Robert Amler posted:

“In the ’80s, when I was at the CDC, we were vaccinating a Big Ten basketball team because they all got exposed to the measles,” Amler said. “We were all set to vaccinate and then I got a panicky call from the coach who said, ‘You’re not vaccinating my team, you are not gonna do that.’ We went back and forth—you know, when people don’t really listen to each other, it’s a darn shame, because we could have made a really short conversation if he had only explained exactly what his problem was, but I eventually figured it out. These guys are going to play basketball and you need a nice healthy shoulder in order to shoot hoops. And that’s all he was worried about—he just didn’t want it in the shoulder. And I said, ‘Coach, how about we give it in the leg or the buttocks?’ and he said, ‘Oh, that’s fine. That’ll be just fine.’ ”

Not that that solves the problem for everyone, but it’s a good story.

Go take a look at any of the public SOF forums, they're packed to the brim with chuds. Though I guess that's not unusual for a military oriented group.
