  1. I'm planning on upgrading my 3950x (although that's also because I'm making a new SFF productivity build for my roommate/editor and so I'll move my current chip over and use upgrade my workstation).
  2. I made plans with a rather cute Masters in Library Science student for a second socially-distanced date, and while I'm not trying to be overly hopeful last night's multi-hour zombie-killing escapade was mutually enjoyable (we spent around six hours on Killing Floor, not a bad first date all things considered).
  3. And nothing of value was lost, honestly Reddit should have done that years ago.
  4. Yeah, even if you completely remove race from the equation it mostly comes off as the old 'poor people don't deserve nice things' argument.
  5. For some reason my 'this seems rather suspect and they probably don't know what they're talking about' sense is tingling...
  6. Voted in my State's delayed Congressional primaries.
  7. It didn't last for long and there weren't many replies before it got locked.
  8. Given recent events most studios who worked with Chris are releasing statements about what they plan to do with his contributions and since, at the time it was announced, the community was kinda hyped about Chris being involved in Bloodlines 2 it makes sense that Paradox/Hardsuit Labs would want to say something.
  9. The newest version of the desktop after my 9900k decided to release the 'magic blue smoke': CPU Ryzen 3950x Motherboard GigaByte Aorus Xtreme RAM 64Gb 3200 DDR4 at CL16 GPU EVGA 2080Ti KingPin Case Customized H440 Storage 1Tb NVME SSD - Boot Drive 480Gb SATA SSD - Games 500Gb SATA SSD - Games 512Gb NVME SSD - Storage 512GB NVME SSD - Storage PSU EVGA 1000w P2 Display Alienware AW3418DW - 3440x1440p 120Hz GSync Cooling Dual GPU/CPU waterloops Keyboard Logitech G810 Orion Spectrum Mouse G903 and G502 with Powerplay
  10. Maybe a drug store? I don't think I've seen them in a regular grocery store, at least not around here, but medical supply stores and/or drug stores should have something (assuming they haven't sold out).
  11. Trump's predictably bad response - evidently writing a letter is only something you do in literature class?
  12. I've heard a fair number of the more extreme leftists in the US claim that Canada has free healthcare for all because they've never actually looked into it.
  13. I spent entirely too much on a pocket knife but it's to support a local maker from where I used to live that might not make it through the pandemic - plus it's a really unique design.
  14. That's one reason we've authorized people to take home their equipment, so they have as seamless of a transition as possible since we're going to be working remote for at least two more month and, realistically, it might be through the end of the year.
  15. My first day of remote work starts in a few hours, while we left one person behind in case of a catastrophic hardware error who will be rotated out bi-weekly, they've closed up our office and wont go out aside from an emergency at the hospital or heat/power plant or the like that has to be fixed immediately, I suspect that I wont be back there for at least two-three months. Aside from that I've been stocking up on food and other supplies and plan to not leave the apartment for the duration aside from a daily hike when the weather allows it.
  16. Fun but random fact - my flatmate used to play poker with Mr. Hopkins when she was a film student and he was shooting a movie nearby! Evidently he's a good player.
  17. Depending on exactly what you mean by concentration camps they were in use before the Boer War, with more systemic use starting in the United Sates during the mid 1800s as the native peoples were driven from their homelands, and were also contemporary to the German genocide of the Herero and Namaqua peoples (I'm not sure off the top of my head if Shark Island and the other German camps came before or after those employed against the Boers but, given American history if nothing else, I'm not sure it is fair to say that the British were the first to employ them).
  18. And very possibly the first President to have ever been removed from office (although that would leave Pence and he's as bad or worse than Trump in many ways). I suspect that this administration will also signal the beginning of the end of unchecked Executive Authority although my guess is that this will take some time, given the unfortunate amount of power creep that has happened, and people will be less willing to stick to limits once someone slightly more sane and stable is in the White House.
  19. Well, this is different... But I guess the wheels of time keep turning and the site must update...
