  1. Yeah, the only games I care about in 4K is Age of Empires II Remastered 4K edition and Civilization - I can tell a difference. Everything else, not as much and/or I'm more focused on FPS/speed (I still do Team Fortress 2 lol and some World of Warcraft and Ultima Online) and my son does most of his (few) games at 1080p - Hogwarts, some Hot Wheels stuff, and Minecraft (and he's constantly tweaking Minecraft depending on what he's doing). And most of it is okay on our RTX 2060, but I know for a few hundred bucks I could improve performance a decent amount. And I would be able to repurpose the 2060 for a second PC.
  2. And VF has audio tapes. Reading through it, I'm beginning to wonder if this is a conspiracy of sorts, but one not involving Trump. Like somebody or several somebodies in that photo above decided they were going to get some negative shit out there about Trump from a legitimate inside source. Whether VF chose her or they did and worked out the details with VF that she would be the focus, doesn't matter. I could even see some of them agreeing to have her say some negative shit about them (since people will soon forget it) so that it didn't look like she was just dissing Trump. I'm not saying anything like 25th Amendment or anything that big, just laying the groundwork for some of them to try and show there was distance between them and Trump or laying the groundwork for 2028 and saying "Hey, you saw what Wiles said about Trump, we were doing the best we could, but that was Trump." Wiles didn't say this in a vacuum, it was over 11 interviews, with background interviews from some of the people in that photo (and they posed for multiple photos for this article) and it was all recorded. I don't want to toot the conspiracy theory horn, but she knew exactly what she was saying, regardless of context.
  3. Still have it somewhere. Erin was....something else. That statement from above in @tx 3 putt post...it's nice that he chose to write something to post after he was gone Ughh. Gerard’s death was confirmed by his wife, Janet, in a Facebook post Tuesday evening. “Early this morning Gil – my soulmate – lost his fight with a rare and viciously aggressive form of cancer,” read Janet’s post. “From the moment when we knew something was wrong to his death this morning was only days. No matter how many years I got to spend with him it would have ever been enough. Hold the ones you have tightly and love them fiercely.”
  4. We have to make Maduro cry uncle. “Over lunch, Wiles told me about Trump’s Venezuela strategy: “He wants to keep on blowing boats up until Maduro cries uncle. And people way smarter than me on that say that he will.” (Wiles’s statement appears to contradict the administration’s official stance that blowing up boats is about drug interdiction, not regime change.)”
  5. Julia Davis doesn't get enough credit for predicting where things were headed - she's mentioning what she was writing about and seeing in April of 2021.
  6. Not until we get our Land, Oil, and Other Assets back that Venezuela stole from us.
  7. Lavrov: the Americans have told us clearly that those lands where Russians have lived for centuries must become Russian again. He didn’t specify whether that includes Kyiv or Odesa in addition to Donbas and Crimea. Draw your own conclusions about the value of “platinum standard” security promises.
  8. Motorcycles and station wagons and Scooby Doo vans last month and this month...horses.
  9. @PTINS another data point and somebody mentioned this in the comments: "Even if they where selling at 70 a barrel it was already a massive deficit budget. They will have to cover most of this with high interest debt raised from Russian banks. Russia debt servicing is going to weigh down future Russian budgets"
  10. Germany really ramping things up and clearly understanding what's at stake. German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius announced that Germany will extend the military aid for Ukraine for the year 2026 by an additional €3 billion. This makes an overall support of €11.5 billion, a new record. Joint operations in drone production has been announced, as well. Additionally, Ukraine will be supplied with vast amounts of AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles from German army stocks. Somebody is not happy.
  11. We're going to see something out of them next month when they truly realize how fucked a lot more Americans are, in an election year no less.
  12. Trump has definitely lost control of the Senate.
  13. Say what you want about Trump, but he knows how to rally his base and get them out. It's why he had that little TV show for 14 fucking years, among other things - he knows how to play to people and how to use the limelight and loved the spotlight like nobody else in the last 40 years. Vance knows how to play to...Silicon Valley. He was way too uncomfortable when the spotlight was on him. They want more money.
  14. I wouldn't bet money against MTG and Boebert. @RDCanecutter has already regaled us with tales of what would happen in a bar fight with those two.
  15. @immamac Can we get a thread title change to war on oil and Venezuela or something?
  16. Yeah, Rubio is young and knows Vance will be tainted by Trump in 2028 and will lose. Although if this little war with Venezuela is the cluster fuck we are expecting, Rubio is going to be fully tainted as well.
  17. Yeah, I wanted to go up from 2x16 to 2x32 because of some stuff my son is doing and I'm fucked. We've got a small form factor PC, so only 2 memory slots. Just going to upgrade the CPU from a Ryzen 3700x to a Ryzen 7 5700 and video card from an RTX 2060 to something newer. CPU upgrade is not much but will reduce some stuttering we get in certain games/apps (all 8 cores are on one chip on the 5700 versus 2 chips on the 3700x, and played around on a friend's 5700 and it was smoother) and even bumping up just 3 generations on the video will help tremendously. I can also repurpose the old CPU and video to a second PC we are building for my daughter.
  18. And by the way, for those who are curious about whether it's real or not (because you don't want to visit his social media site), Rubio was retweeting this:
