    I shamefully admit that I have made an entire meal out of a bag of Lays Potato Chips...more than once.

    if standing at the kitchen sink gorging yourself on a bag of potato or tortilla chips for dinner is wrong, i don't want to be right.

    I didn't realize TxDOT means Houston engineers.

    Which school pumps out thousands of shitty civil engineers a year?

    (pretty sure the answer isn't Houston.)

    Id go with a used GTX 1070 or maybe ti if you can find a deal for around $400

    i got a used 1080 (former miner) for $285 after ebay 15% coupon.  no issues related to it being a former miner.   another of those coupons is coming up on sunday, though you have to watch for sellers raising their prices to take all the benefit. 

    fortnite isn't exactly intensive.  a 1060 runs it more than fine.   

    i wouldn't do dual 1080s.  dual GPU has been on life support for the better part of a decade.  better to spend the money on a 2080 if buying new.

  4. the semantic argument is eliding the actual question, which is if the IRS has the funding/staff/resources available to properly collect the taxes it's charged with collecting, and, assuming not, whether a) the resources it does have are being spent in the best manner possible to collect taxes; and b) should further funding be appropriated.  i'm guessing a) is 'no' because the IRS is being charged with squeezing blood from turnips.  dunno about b), a) should probably be improved first.

  5. 1. Set up a Slickdeals alert for Bangkok to find cheap airfare.

    2. Fly to Bangkok, get measured, pick out fabric and details, etc.

    3. 48 hour cocaine fueled hooker orgy while waiting for suits.

    4. Fly back to the US with 4 or 5 suits and all of the STDs for the cost of one Zegna.
