2" TV for my kitchen just a few weeks ago and that reassured me 27" is as big as I want for PC. Just too big im

Used to think this about 27" until getting a 32".

Guess it depends on the desk. Plus my CrossOvers are small. They don't have all the stupid shtt on the back that comes with a TV.

We swam with about 200 spinner dolphins last week in Maui. Was pretty damn cool to be in the middle of it all.

Damns you rich ppl.

Edt: Maybe I could afford something like that if I wasn't exiled from Texas because of Harvey and now paying silly Lake Charles rent prices.

Man wtf is up with the rent prices there. How can normal locals with normal jobs afford it? Not only that, but McNeese students staying around campus but not on campus. We just put a deposit for a townhouse off of East McNeese and it is crazy town. $1200 for a decent townhouse which IMO should be around $850.

Not rich. Just fortunate to be in the position I am and travel / live wherever.

Leave for a week in Mexico Monday then come back to Cali for a week and head out to Vegas. May move to the South of France for a few months around April of next year.

Rent inflation. You can thank the LNG projects for that. It just started 2 or 3 years ago.

It really is insane. I think about the prices students from out of town or first time renters at 18-22. I know I couldn't afford paying that type of rent alone back then. Guess it's a must for college students to share bedrooms, idk.

Are you living in your JEEP? Is this a camper spot for rent? That is retarded cheap unless you're sharing the space.

I am literally less than one block from the beach, though. Not cheap.

The guy a few houses down from me opened his garage the other day and he had a lambo and a ferrari in it. He leaves the Bentley parked at the curb due to not having enough room. No lie.

Some girl I see around has a Maserati she wrapped in hot pink.

Ridiculous how much money there is concentrated in this one town.

My friend I literary meant playing D3 and DayZ a few years back lives in SF. He just became a financial adviser and his GF is a Chemical Engineer with a P.E. They can barely get by with their combined income. Forced to commute into the city as they live in San Jose. L.A. and SF are both retarded ridiculous.

Yes we have meant IRL. Went on a few couple trips together over the years. Dude is seriously my closest friend.

L.A. would be cheaper than where I am. Have a business associate that has a larger place than me for $4200 per month but he is like 3 miles inland. He's in Redondo Beach area which is also cheaper overall. Another associate is a half a mile from me with a badass place he pays $10K per month for. He could own anything but he and his wife like moving all the time.

We are all considering moving to Portugal or the South of France for a little while next year.

Found a 6 bedroom villa badass place in Portugal on the beach for $2900 per month. Like 6K sq ft with a pool and fully furnished.

Coffee Lake desktop processors, the follow up to 2016's Kaby Lake processors, launch on October 5, Intel announced today.


8700K 6c/12t is $359.
8600K 6c/6t no HT is $257.


2 broken NDA reviews so far have it about 2% faster in gaming than the 7700K and 45% for multithreaded at the same clocks.
