Nothing about that fact is fun. It's barely even mildly interesting or even a fact. The deceit! You should be ashamed.

They do it with fingerprints, genetic samples, and statements... But over all the decades, mugshots its too far!

I think people forget that we used to have everyone's names, addresses, and phone numbers delivered for free to our doorsteps.

To my knowledge, there's no evidence to suggest child soldiers being sent in. But you could do the classic, "Yes I'm eighteen" as your voice cracks. I'm sure there's a greater chance than most other nations of it sliding through.

Make sure you gain a shitload of intel before making your move. It would be far more valuable than anything you could manage with a gun at that age, this making a massive impact.

Here's the thing; bacon, eggs, sausages, bread, and potato for hash browns costs fuck all. Get these ingredients for $50 worth, and you will enjoy a breakfast of this calibre for many mornings. The missing ingredient is motivation. That's why you pay 80% extra to get someone else to do it and it still seems like an excellent deal.

Remember this when the menu is doing eggs benedict for $23. It better be real fucking good eggs benny because the contents on that plate cost very little.

Our species' weakest are inexplicably scared of everything. It might've been a useful trait at times in the forgotten past, but we've evolved a lot.

It's one of those traits reserved for "persons of special consideration", if you know what I mean.

In Australia, our crocodiles eat the sharks, but also they eat dogs, but sharks do that too, but they eat humans less than crocodiles... It's very conflicting who to go for.

Centrists are very clear on this one.

Or do you mean US centrists which are like everyone else's moderate-right?

Jeez. Take a hint if you want any career left.

I feel that way about most films with Ferrell, Sandler, and Stiller. So silly and stupid that they work so light-heartedly well. You just know the set laughed their asses off plenty of times in production.

Yeah, but they're the same old teachings of every other religion before Christianity. You gotta remember it's super-duper young compared to most others. Every modern religion just gets the same old human morals we had before religions and bundles up a bunch of really bad shit with them so they seem good.

If any of its true, the greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing people he was God.

Oddly, that works in negatively for me.

 
 

I was thinking about it. I donate to quite a few charities, but they specifically mean something to me. Others I don't really think about, though they're good. I guess we all have a threshold or we'd be broke and for many that could be no donations at all or just a fiver the the street guy.

It's an interesting diet this breed needs. Basically small frozen scraps, but very rich in content. Their digestive systems evolved as nomads north of the Arctic Circle and know nothing else, so a bit of care needs to be taken. His body will do a lot with the vital scraps of tundra animals, and doesn't know how to handle big foreign diets which make him unenergetic and unwell after a few meals.

Tonight's menu is sheep and beef tripe—their organs go well, but their meat and fat doesn't.

Frozen salmon cuts—these dogs know fish as well as reindeer and love frozen meet. They extract all the goods from them.

And a rabbit foot—Fur and bone is common in their diet and helps clean. They can start to poop bad without fur fibre.

One of the more tame dishes considering the other weird off cuts of bits and pieces he gets. Thought some may find it interesting for a bit of an unusual breed outside of Finland.

Edit: And yeah, the photo makes the meal look big and him small. But he's 20kg and that dish is about 3/4 a banana in diameter.

 

Just in case you're like me and forget to pay attention for a moment and three more albums slide on by without realising. It's also excellent, as usual. Probably a top 3 of their disco for my personal taste.

 

Because some genius in Japan wanted to know what would happen if you put a 4×4 drivetrain into a van.

 
 

The elevation change and subsequent plank scrape made eau rouge look like it had a shit stain.

And no, you cannot find the original post anymore. At least it's missing for me, the OP, unless I locate it through inbox history.

Coincidentally, the meme was about mods on shitposts lol. I'll be banned soon 🫡

Gaming

  • Mostly a huge array of co-op games, performance doesn't matter much, just good 1440 frame rate with high settings.
  • HOWEVER, sim racing is my exception and I'm wanting to upgrade from a single 27" to something more immersive. Considering I'm on the most minimal, a TV, triple 24s, or VR are all big immersion upgrades, but each with their pros and cons. But all demanding more of the GPU,ideally keeping rates at 120, even 90 maybe... 1080 for triples, but ideally 1440 all-round to make use of FSR better.

Data Science

  • I need my PC to be a workhorse. Many hours of my week are ETL of big datasets and complex models. Lots of calculation time and lots of loading tables/arrays into memory for queries and transforms.
  • Ive recently gone up to 32GB DDR4 3600 (going to go to 64) and an R9 5900X. It's done nothing huge for gaming, but it's increased my data crunching tasks significantly.

What I have right now...

Guts

  • Asus PRIME X570-P ATX AM4 Motherboard
  • AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 3.7 GHz 12-Core Processor
  • MSI MECH 2X Radeon RX 6700 XT 12 GB Video Card
  • Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 32 GB (4 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL16 Memory

Storage (This is way behind)

  • Samsung 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
  • Silicon Power UD90 1 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive
  • And some ancient 2TB 7200 HDD that's a dying archive only drive

Primary display

  • Acer Nitro XZ272U Pbmiiphx 27.0" 2560 x 1440 165 Hz Curved Monitor

Cooling

  • Lian Li Lancool II Mesh ATX Mid Tower Case
  • Deepcool LT520 85.85 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Where I'm stuck...

  • Should I go up to AM5 even though I just got the 5900X?
  • Do I then go DDR5 instead of 64GB DDR4 or am I getting too many year's ahead of myself?
  • The 6700XT is not overclocking friendly, for sim racing I may need to bump up if going for more display.
  • For storage, what's the best way to go for a bunch of games installed, but also not having stuff get in the way of data crunching applications and calculations? Should I reserve a drive purely for data? Can I dedicate anything to it on top of the 64GM RAM coming in?
  • Lastly, the display conundrum for sim racing; VR, TV, triples... 49" UW on top of any above upgrades is just way over budget.

I'm basically just after ideas of what to prioritise next, what can wait a while, and what path I should be starting on for future-proofing without spending the budget on future gear too soon while it's all expensive.

Advice much appreciated.
