The downward spiral continues:

As more and more power and money is concentrated in the hands of a filthy few at the top of society, the surveillance and control of the people continues to get ever more prevalent and invasive.

God, she really is a harpy.

Wait, aren't you LDS? I thought you didn't have caffeine either? My (great) Aunt and Uncle were LDS and they drank water, juice and Sanka, and that was it.

As an ex-LDS: There are plenty of hypocrites.

Working on cars is addictive, yet was never added to the Words of Wisdom either. I look foreward to new revelation.

Had to find a induction sensor for my Audi project, the one I need was NLA.

But suprise, suprise, they have the EXACT sensor for Porsche with a larger price tag.

My Dell Precision laptop continues to handle Skyrim well, but I have an AMD FirePro that I'm running software modded to be a Radeon R9 M200x

It's like a project managers laptop honestly. Bitch only has 4 gigs of ram and an integrated gcard.

I cant even play the newest graphics update of Sim City Deluxe lmao

Its cool though Im more of a tropico island dictator type anyway.

I buy the Precision series specifically because if it has a dedicated card, its usually modular and I can get them with more RAM slots than the standard laptop.

the switch doesnt count :colbert:

Despite the initial sales boost, the Switch isn't doing to hot either. My wife bough one at launch, and while she loved the new Zelda and loves the switch, the lack of launch titles is really killing her interest in it.

I'm running a 5 year old Dell Precision T5500 with dual Quad Core E5550 Xeons and a GeForce GTX 980 for my desktop. Works great, and was cheap as dirt.

Okay, I gotta figure out how to tow this 200 back, I can tow it with the 5000 Quattro Turbo wagon I'm picking up as well, but I think I'll have to dolly it.

But I don't know if U-Haul will sign off of me renting a dolly to tow with the 5000 Avant.

I'm fortunate enough that I could afford a 40k car, but I'm a cheapskate who hates depreciation and prioritizes other stuff (emergency fund, retirement, college fund for kid, vacation fund). I am thinking of spending about 30k on my next (used) car but my wife is telling me "no." She spends too much on everything she buys daily, but panics when I suggest a large one time expenditure because it has more digits than she's used to. It's very frustrating. I'm the primary earner in the household by 2x and am diligent about saving and earning; she fritters away money like it comes from trees, then digs her heels in when I want to buy something for myself.

I can't wait until my kid is out of daycare, it will be a 20k/year raise.

If you are buying a car and worried about depreciation, you are buying a car for all the wrong reasons.

We had one kid. She wants a second one, but I want her to finish her degree. Besides, I don't think nature is smiling on us having another one. It took us 6 years of trying to even have the one.
