Timmah!

Reminded me of:

Fucking A, what a convoluted, tedious pain in the ass just to play a game. Not even my problem & I got aggravated reading that. Lol.

Heynow!

Yes, please be sure to reinstate my website God Mode; thanks for your assistance in this matter.

Sorry to hear of yet another of us passing on; may he be in a place of happiness.... hanging out with Dadda, Cobrabites, & the others.

Taken from Illinois Department of Public Health: "Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a spiral shaped bacterium that lives in or on the lining of the stomach. It causes more than 90 percent of ulcers...." http://www.idph.state.il.us/public/hb/hbhylori.htm

Hey brother, glad to hear the good news. Do me a favor & get checked for H. Pylori? Just on the off-chance it's the cause of your ulcers. Here's a link about it: https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/h-pylori/symptoms-causes/syc-20356171 80-90% of ulcers are caused by H. Pylori.

My buddy, yesterday, reminding me it's time to do something besides sit at the computer... preferably petting him.

...Get off the computer, already...

...still miss him.

Here we have Sponge Blob, the fluffy cousin.

That appears to be a local file on your machine, buddy.

The Federal Reserve is beholden to the rules set forth by The Federal Reserve Act over 100 years ago. The Federal Reserve is accountable to Congress & Us; they are audited at least twice a year, & the report is made publicly available. https://www.federalreserve.gov/aboutthefed/files/combinedfinstmt2018.pdf

So; has anybody gone up... with the prevalence of these alleged chemtrails.....I mean, they're practically ubiquitous.... surely SOMEBODY has gone up and collected samples in a verifiable manner to prove the composition of these nefarious products? Anybody? Bueller?

Well, if you want to throw ~$2,000 @ it, here's the rig, sans the peripherals: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aws/cart/add.html?creativeASIN=B07MGBZWDZ&linkCode=w61&imprToken=yYEdi8SmlFz4F2M1q2lVKQ&slotNum=9&AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJOASTQRBLOVVPUQA&AssociateTag=wepcus-20&ASIN.1=B07MGBZWDZ&Quantity.1=1&ASIN.2=B07BYP9S95&Quantity.2=1&ASIN.3=B07WQG7S5S&Quantity.3=1&ASIN.4=B07RM39V5F&Quantity.4=1&ASIN.5=B078DPCY3T&Quantity.5=1&ASIN.6=B079HGN5QS&Quantity.6=1&ASIN.7=B07HM3M86B&Quantity.7=1&ASIN.8=B07JFVLT7G&Quantity.8=1

Here's a solid build for 1080p gaming; only thing missing is the tower & psu. If you want to do higher resolution gaming, you can always buy a better graphics card. For $60 more, you can double the ram from 16 to 32 gigs. This is an AMD build... if you want to go Intel route, the i5 9600k is a great value, but they run hotter & require a cooler which will run you an extra ~$30. The amd chip comes with a cpu cooler. Water cooling is also relatively inexpensive, starting around $75. https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuilder/Custom/S151675-M810675.631838.517228.161079.89269vsS0-M?tab=MBD

Not true; quite the opposite in reality. Compare the Q4 2018 production Core i5 9600k with the Q3 2019 Ryzen 5 3600 & you will see that the AMD Ryzen 5 @ 65 watts runs 30 less than the i5 @ 95. I compare these two because they are close in gaming performance. People will say that because the AMD's memory control is slower, one takes a ~10% hit in frames per second. In practice, this only happens if the graphics are turned all the way up & the GPU becomes the bottleneck. In addition to running 30 watts cooler & being neck & neck in gaming, the AMD chip has twice as many threads & easily outperforms Intel chips at the same price point in workstation & multitasking. I'm a fan of neither; I'm a fan of best value. With the new AMD architecture, it clearly is the best value. Here's a side by side comparison of the two chips: https://www.userbenchmark.com/PCBuilder/Custom/S151675-M810675.631838.517228.161079.89269vsS0-M?tab=MBD

List a budget range, buddy. Prices will be changing over the next month or two. So a time frame would also be great. No sense in buying certain components when they will be dropping over the next couple months. Which platform you want - AMD or Intel - is also a decision you need to make. Whether you want a rig for gaming solely, gaming & other pc tasks is another consideration.

That is so beautiful. That is another passtime of mine, although it's been a while. Need to chat with you sometime, buddy.

Shit, most people that play MW2 don't even get on ts; but yeah, like Rugger said, weekends is usually busy late into night.

Gonna miss you; glad you got to celebrate one more anniversary before you left.
