Seriously, don’t buy a “winter suit” for down south. You’re going to suffocate as soon as you walk inside. A standard weight worsted wool suit with a scarf and gloves is plenty for any southern day that hasn’t shut down the roads.

If you give a budget, we can help plan out the entire build, but I’ll start by saying that there hasn’t been a reason to buy into the Intel platform in about half a decade. For a set it and forget it build, I have a hard time arguing against a 9800x3D unless budget constraints don’t allow for it. Not only is it the best gaming chip in existence, but that chipset has at least one, if not multiple, generations of CPUs that will be compatible upgrade options in the future.

What kind of work, and what kind of games?

Anyone use Steam's in home streaming these days? Just picked up a little NUC with a 12900HK that I plan to replace the PC there (have other plans for the PC), but I haven't used the in home streaming in a looooonnnnnggg time

Thankfully most of the games I'll play locally (shite like n64/gamecube/ps1 emulators, worms, and other multiplayer "party games"), but occasionally I may get an itch to play a new AAA game on the couch

I've actually only used it remotely, but as long as I had a strong internet connection on my end, my 1gig symetric at home gave a staggeringly good experience. Now, that was playing slower paced games like BG3, so I won't speak to the latency for twitchy titles, but I've been impressed.

Above the fray centrists are the best.

As always, I'm a minarchist libertarian, which is nearly as far away from "centrist" as someone can get. I've never claimed to be a centrist; I've claimed that you idiots have been so eaten up by the team sport of "modern politics" that you can't see how staggeringly and mindlessly hypocritical you are. Or you do and just don't care, because you think the ends justify the means. Either way, you look fricking retarded :lol:

My personal favorite period of board irony was when they ran around calling everyone "NPCs" while using the exact same cookie cutter language to do so :lol:

Speaking of NPCs on both sides, I've found it amazing that Obama people said we should prosecute the Bush admin, Trump people said (and still say) we should prosecute the Obama admin, Biden people did prosecute the Trump admin, Trump people are calling for the prosecution of the Biden admin, and anti-Trump people are calling for the future prosecution of the current Trump admin... and at every step, the opposing side clutches their pearls at the audacity that someone would call for the prosecution of their favorite politician :lol:

Don't pay taxes?!? When you grow up and pay 40%+ in taxes, maybe you will care.

I pay plenty in taxes. You sound really emotional about this, though. Are you ok?

Requiring entry level employees to supply their own expensive, specialized equipment is certainly a choice.

Pound the law, pound the facts, pound the table :cheers:

Fallout 3 was my first Fallout game so it is my favorite. I have an irrational hatred of New Vegas, even though I know it's an objectively great game, because when playing it a bug caused a save file to corrupt and I lost something like 10 hours of playtime. I turned it off and have never touched it since. I was extremely salty.

---

10 hours?



:lol:

Should have chosen a more honorable profession other than legalized extortion. Freaking cockroaches. All they do is suck the blood of people who create wealth and the producers and job creators of the world. They make nothing, produce nothing, take everything they can, and cause everything to be more expensive. Then they go and become politicians. The one profession full of bigger scumbags than law.
