Oh shuddup, I need more computer stuff like I need a hole in the head.
Was given 14 desktop systems this year, still have 6 to unload. Nothing wrong with them just won't do Win11 without some effort. They got grants so toss them out.
Nobody wants desktops, gotta have a laptop so you never move it from the desk and people think you're hard at work cuz you're peering at that tiny screen.
And "gaming laptops" hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah hah
...fuck...

Right?

I've got this thing the size of a wine fridge full of radiators and fans, just so for a couple weeks I can benchmark the fucking thing faster than 98% of all systems ever tested. And you are going to cram that in a small pizza box? 'Gaming' my left teste. Perhaps if you play solitaire professionally and don't care about refresh.

I should do a video when I get this fucker running, what games look like with the graphics turned up to eleven.

2 laptops and a small desktop on the repair desk right now. None of which is faster than my Raspberry Pi running off an SD card. People just buy the cheapest of their favourite brand name and never look at the specs.

Fuck the AMD AM5 socket. I have spent $1000 on mainboards because the little fucking pins break off if you just happen to fucking sneeze in the area of them, when you gently place a processor on them.

Fuck, I must have built a thousand computers, and have never bent a pin.

Fuck! I had to call Reliance for plumbing! I muttered that I was going to the dark side but dam was I. They changed 350 plus tax to change a cartridge! I should go back to school to become a plumber!

Unfuckingreal today in the NHL and examples of how people take fucking entertainment way too fucking seriously. Toronto was in New Jersey, where fans got pissed off and threw beer and food onto the ice and at Toronto players and Vancouver was in Colorado where fans threw shit too, including a bag of jelly beans at a player. I guess we should be glad it was only those objects and not fucking bullets.

Local SaveOn mentioned they were running low on vape pods 6 weeks ago. They've been totally out for 14 days now. Manager said it was because they now require excise stickers and are in short supply.
The gas station in the next town has been restocked 3 times since then, all had the stickers on them.
While I was there, I also noticed the Co-op had Pepsi for 2/$11 vs their $9.29... a whole wall of bread for $1.99 vs their fucking always empty shelves of $3.49 on sale bread, and the cows in that town produce more than just hamburger and $25 ea shrink wrapped steaks.
I'll be getting lots of fucking Petro Points doing my shopping now...

What the actual fuck is this abomination?

Behold figgy pudding Spam, the 'unholy' holiday canned pork blasted with citrus

[herbie]

OMG and you were gagging over pickled sausage?
Figgy pudding Spam... congealed puke in a can.

The only thing we should be fucking thankful for is that it's a 'Limited' Edition.

[Strutz]

I can't fucking believe how far down in the forums list this thread was.

Just fucking saying...

[Scape]

Never a fucking dull moment...

We don't fuck around like we used to.

[raydan]

Going through some old boxes I have and I found this... 45$ on Ebay, I'm fucking rich.

I do. I've been practising my fucking swearing like a sailor.

Dealing with tech companies is really good for your cussing variations.

Plus, winter. You walk outside, and the air is sucked out of your lungs, and you have no choice but to utter 'ffffuuuuuuuucccckk'.
