When I was in college, I had the rule of not buying anything that is >$1.50 per pound. This is what I was reduced to (prices may be different now due to inflation and geo area):

  1. Apples, oranges, grapes, strawberries when they are on sale
  2. Milk, yogurt
  3. Pork shoulder, chicken quarters, thighs, drumsticks
  4. ground pork, ground beef
  5. Carrots, broccoli, potatoes, cabbage (you'll be surprised at how good thinly sliced cabbages taste in a sandwich)

You gotta rollback the divorce first before rolling back the kid. Good news is that if you roll back the marriage after that, you'll still end up in an unmarried state

At what pace threshold is it appropriate to just call it a comma?

In HongKong, and I'm sure in some other places, paper currency is actually made of bearer bonds:

Note (see what I did) the small text of "Promises to pay the bearer on demand at its office here", that's when/where the bank gives you coins, or their Monopoly looking-ass 10 dollar bill, issued by the government.

Hello PCMR,

I'm currently dabbling in a side project and want to be as economical as possible, both in money and space, on getting an NVidia setup. My use cases, sorted in order of importance:

  1. AI side project dabbling (yes, Transformers, but also some old school stuff like ConvNets, GANs, basically to catch up on some domain knowledge)
  2. CUDA / C++ Torch dabbling: uncovering some lower layers below PyTorch
  3. Distributed Systems learning: it would be nice to run a Kubernetes cluster without wiring physical Ethernet cables to a switch :')
  4. General dev: Being able to run an emulator and 10 tabs would be nice
  5. Gaming: nothing special, maybe Microsoft Flight Sim?

I've been out of the PC game since the age of GTX 9xx, and no longer consider myself an informed shopper, would love to get some recommendations, and even some guidance via Socratic method so that I can be more clear about my actual requirements. Thank you so much for your time, even if you just spent it reading :)
