I bet the CEO played Monopoly too. Ironic, isn't it?

There is a problem that destroys and ends countless lives in the country for the profit of a few. It is morally indefensible.

The government didn't and still isn't doing shit about it. The legal system didn't do shit about it. Most elected officials like to pretend it doesn't even exist and those who do are ostracized by the media.

Ultimately when something this bad is going on, someone, somewhere will eventually do something about it. All the government had to do is do something about it first. But it didn't.

Here it is:

“To the Feds, I'll keep this short, because I do respect what you do for our country. To save you a lengthy investigation, I state plainly that I wasn't working with anyone. This was fairly trivial: some elementary social engineering, basic CAD, a lot of patience. The spiral notebook, if present, has some straggling notes and To Do lists that illuminate the gist of it. My tech is pretty locked down because I work in engineering so probably not much info there. I do apologize for any strife of traumas but it had to be done. Frankly, these parasites simply had it coming. A reminder: the US has the #1 most expensive healthcare system in the world, yet we rank roughly #42 in life expectancy. United is the [indecipherable] largest company in the US by market cap, behind only Apple, Google, Walmart. It has grown and grown, but as our life expectancy? No the reality is, these [indecipherable] have simply gotten too powerful, and they continue to abuse our country for immense profit because the American public has allwed them to get away with it. Obviously the problem is more complex, but I do not have space, and frankly I do not pretend to be the most qualified person to lay out the full argument. But many have illuminated the corruption and greed (e.g.: Rosenthal, Moore), decades ago and the problems simply remain. It is not an issue of awareness at this point, but clearly power games at play. Evidently I am the first to face it with such brutal honesty.”

Pretty much what everyone suspected already IMO.

The 7800XT is over one year old and they're still selling it for $500. That used to be the normal price for a bleeding edge GPU that was just released and then within six months the price would drop below $200 new, at which point it was a good deal for anyone wanting a decent GPU that will last them a few year. Ever since the pandemic, with the scalpers, NVidia and AMD realized they can just charge highway robbery prices and get away with it and aren't offering anything reasonably priced anymore.

Intel smelled blood and are going for that newly opened gap in the market. I'm just waiting for the independent reviews to make sure there aren't any major issues and probably going to have one in my new machine next year.

I want an accessory that clamps a hand grenade on the fiber optic cable that the drone is trailing and slides down the cable to explode next to the operator.

No shit. They keep ramping up the prices for cards that have the size and power consumption of a household appliance while they completely ignore the market of people just looking for something that runs a game smoothly in 1080p without overpaying. On top of that anyone who bought a card in the last 5 years just don't have a reason to upgrade right now.

The Battlemage series might turn out to fill that gap. But even there it will only capture the market of people who have been holding off buying a new GPU for almost a decade.

This kind of reaction ~~friends~~ depends entirely on how respectful our disrespectful the other person was in correcting you. For me, anyway.

Edit: Fuck you GBoard. You have one job and you suck at it.

So you're saying the audience for the ads have the people who are willing to pay for stuff, the very people the advertisers are paying to reach, removed from it.

I wonder how much longer this will go before the advertisers catch on to that.

Nah, you just do the same to all the other letters so it looks intentional

They are? I've owned 3 Subarus over 20 years and have never heard about that. Their old 2.5L engines were known for consuming oil, if you fed them thinner 5w-30 oil in warm climates, however. A lot of people switched to 10w-40 to solve it.

The NYPD's working theory of what pistol was used doesn't even make sense either. These cops are clueless.
