How do people survive working in an office?
It isn’t like you are being asked to go into the coal mines.
It’s the Samsung OLED G6.
Bongino is a loser and an embarrassment, but that isn’t what he was saying.
quote:He was clearly stating that he was paid to give HIS opinions, not that he was paid to give specific opinions.
This after he admitted to lying to get ratings and popularity.
quote:Nope.
Unless I also need to budget for a monitor in there.
Already spent on decent monitors.
We use dual at work and I purchased some recently with the expectation I was going to get a desktop.
Pretty much just used as a base station for my laptop at the moment.
quote:Nearest is 4 hours away.
Does Scruffy live anywhere near a Microcenter?
quote:That is good to know.
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.
I’m looking at max of about $3000, but could get to $3500 if need be.
quote:Gotcha.
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.
My laptop is almost solely used for work at this point.
It can’t run Baldur’s Gate without overheating, including some overheating with KOTOR (yes, that old game). :lol:
Just trying to get into something now before the market goes to hell and my computer completely craps out.
Advice on PC Build
Posted by Scruffy on 1/8/26 at 6:51 pm
Looking for advice. Getting a new computer and these are the specs. My current one (laptop) is 7 years old and its about time to get something else. Combo work with gaming is the expected use.
Work requires far less computing power than this would offer. Essentially your standard office work combined with remote access to hospital systems.
Gaming-wise, I am looking more into single player high performance experience. The likes of Cyberpunk with mods, maybe some online gaming, I just don’t do that as much as I used to.
Other things like Baldur’s Gate, Kingdom Come, Black Myth, Elden Ring.
And I want it to last.
I have done "some" research, but wanted advice from those who have put together their own systems and are more savvy than myself.
I don't want to make the mistake of "buy more expensive component because component more expensive" if it is overkill.
Graphics: Geforce RTX 5070 Ti
CPU: Ultra 7 265k
Motherboard: MSI Z890
RAM: 32GB
SSD: 2TB T-Force A440
I haven't really done anything "desktop" related in 20 years so I'm a bit overwhelmed, honestly.
Just trying not to get shafted here are spend more than I need.
Thanks.

I’m not going to play this game when everyone in the country who follows the news sees that we are an hop skip and a jump away from an irreconcilable divide of the citizenry.

Him being in law enforcement isn’t the issue. It’s the provocation of citizens in democrat cities, largely doing nothing of substance but riling people up. Signing up to do that job shows a lack of character.
Apparently, your viewpoint is that the law enforcement agencies should not perform their duties because their very existence is a provocation.
The other side sees the actions of this woman towards those individuals as a provocation.
The biggest issue is that the end game is the same.
You retards argue over the minutiae while the end game of nanny state is the same, just the person in charge is different.
You are just too stupid to see that.

What kind of work, and what kind of games?
I will be honest, more gaming than work.

Should I drop for Chris Rodriguez Jr?
Posted by Scruffy on 12/24/25 at 8:12 am
My WR corp is stacked, but I’m lacking RBs.
In the championship.
I have McCaffrey, but my second is iffy.
D. Neal is on IR
D. Singletary
C. Hubbard
Have Singletary currently.
Was thinking of dropping Hubbard for him.
Just looking for anything extra.
Also between Sea, HOU, and PIT for D.

quote:Flacco wasn’t getting crushed every play like Burrow.
You get hit 50 times a game behind a line that doesn’t care and tell me how you feel about “doing your job”. He wants to be able to walk when he retires.
Maybe it’s Joe Burrow and not his Oline.

I have heard people say that Covid "stole many years" regarding kids and their youth and development. Not sure how you can "give that back" either.
The response to Covid pushed by idiots did that.
It really does.
I agree with him that we shouldn’t bring 3rd world people here, but how does he know that that view isn’t something the deep state wants him to believe?
The funny thing is, there is a “deep state”, essentially the bureaucratic unelected monstrosity that is our federal government.
His problem is, he cannot separate viewpoints.
I don’t want 3rd world islamists coming here, and I don’t want any of the 3rd world coming here.
But because I referenced islamists, that is due to deep state propaganda, which nullifies, in his mind, any point that I make.
That is an incredibly shallow mentality.
This thread is about Islamists from 3rd world countries murdering people.
Commenting on that is somehow heresy and succumbing to deep state propaganda.

MN isn’t bottom of the barrel either.
He is averaging ~20 with our league scoring.
