I rebuilt my pc just a few weeks before the ram explosion (replaced cpu, mobo, ram, and cooling), only thing it doesn’t have upgraded is graphics card, but the one it has is …… eh… ok for now until I can afford to pick something else up. Also definitely glad to have made that decision. And probably will be with my storage choice too, once it’s hindsight. I just hate spending money.

So yeah, thanks, that helps. :)

Heh, yeah, I’m assuming hard drives are going to do the same thing graphics cards did… get wildly expensive and never come back down, even if they could. With that in mind, this sounds like a good option.

Also I currently have no backups, and this much extra space fixes that handily. So it was sort of needed and something I was considering anyway.

I’m trying really really hard to convince myself I made the right choice here. 😅

I just picked up 40tb for exactly this reason. I was already considering an upgrade, but was planning like 16 tb. But with this news… Might as well get it while I can at prices I was expecting to pay anyway, even if it’s more than I really had budgeted for it…

(I got refurbished drives, with 3 yr warranty, so this wasn’t like several grand with no protection or anything)

Honestly going out on VD is the worst. It’s busy af everywhere, staff are exhausted dealing with the surge, everyone working wants you to spend a lot more than you do, everyone is either on edge or sad, you’ll probably be disturbed by some grand sweeping gesture…

Ick. The weekend before or after are much better. Or literally any other time. Go for romantic dates on other holidays when everyone else tends to be out of town, not the day when everyone else is trying to do the same thing.

“The” is his middle name, obviously.

What we’d get

You should organize about it :)

Yeah, that definitely seems like the sort of loser thing he would ask. Like the kid who never got invited to any parties in HS and college finally thinking they got in good with the cool frat guys only to never rise above the rank of simpering pledge…

Doggo wants to sit and watch the world go by.

Smart doggo.

Good doggo.

From 5th grade onward I didn’t spend two consecutive years in the same school district. I was perpetually the new, weird, poor, neurodivergent, easy-target kid who sucked at making friends, so they pretty much all sucked in uniquely scarring ways. The best part is my parents thought they were doing me a favor by trying to find a school that would be good with my neurospice… We didn’t actually move from the time I was 9-16. Only me.

I have no clue how to make or maintain friendships and I desperately want to move cities, or at least homes, every couple of years or I get restless. Very glad I’m well educated, though, it makes the isolation that much more profound.

No body cam footage? Shame.

Why’s it my job to say hi if you saw me? Put in a little effort instead of trying to feel snubbed.

True blood. I knew some people who were just obsessed with it and I watched a lot of it and just couldn’t stand it.

Does that include the 8 up by “moves” in the preceding paragraph?

I assume the bolded superscript numbers are verse numbers, I know at least that much of biblical format, but then there’s that 8.

So there’s like 3+ types of annotations and… that’s confusing…

What’s with the weird italics and random faint superscript letters? I’m not well versed on that sort of thing, but linguistically it makes no sense that I can see…? I assume some sort of index or something for the superscript but it also has numerical superscript…?

Is it too much to hope this dog has a microchip and they can arrest the owner for animal abuse or something?

Who am I kidding, anyone willing to do something like that wouldn’t be responsible enough to chip unless it’s required… (edit: article also says no chip :( )

Whenever anyone says that to me, which has happened several times because I’m a blunt cunt sometimes, I tell them I already do that and wouldn’t give it up for anything short of “fuck you money”. I genuinely dislike sharing my living space with other humans, because I don’t even like cleaning after myself, nuts to cleaning up after someone else, which is how it always goes. Being rich would fix that tho cuz I could afford to properly compensate for cleaning services.

I can just hear the uproarious giggles this scene almost certainly contained.

I’ve always found Barney to be creepy af. And I somewhat enjoyed tellitibbies (for how silly the premise was, mostly), so it’s not just adults in weird felt costumes that’s creepy. Barney, like clowns, is not really suitable for kids imo.

Holy shit that’s horrible :(
