  1. I have a 1080ti or two that I could use to make that swap. 🙂
  2. Speaking of Zin. A friend came over for dinner and brought a David Fulton Zin and a 2011 Brunello. The Zin was really good but I love David Fulton's wines. The Brunello was out of this world even though it could still use a few years on the shelf.
  3. Come on man. There's no amount of medication that should allow this psychopath to be out among the population. Our society is so fucking worried about individual rights in cases like this that the rights of the many are ignored and people like this guy are just put out on the street to do their evil. My point exactly but it has nothing to do with being compliant with his medication. This person is a violent lunatic with no regard for life and doesn't belong on the street in any way, shape or form.
  4. By putting all the money in a separate account which is held by my lender's bank it makes forgiveness very simple for him. That's why we use a separate account.
  5. My above information is incorrect. Unless the change for eligibility is fully retroactive for 2020 we don't qualify. It looks like 2020 still requires a shutdown of the business or 50% reduction in revenue to the matching 2019 quarter up until the company has a quarter that exceeds 80% of the matching quarter in 2019. The 20% reduction in gross revenue appears to only apply to Q1 and Q2 2021.
  6. Employee Retention Credit Under the Cares Act
  7. I've been doing some reading on it. I ran our numbers and it looks like we'll qualify for this credit for 3rd quarter 2020 based on the revised guidelines. 20% is the revised guideline for reduction in gross revenue and you can now get a credit for up to 70% of $10000 per quarter per employee for a maximum credit of $7000 per employee per quarter.
  8. I've found prebuilts for $1499 with a 3060 ti in them. No need to spend $3700 to get the video card. I an do better than that on Ebay.

    The speakers would be the weak link IMO. Nothing wrong with starting out with an Audio Technica turntable. I'd still purchase as separates with an integrated amp if you can swing it.
  10. Dell gaming desktop with a 3060ti has a tentative ship date of March 22. Couldn’t find an HP with a 30xx card in it.
  11. Not a bad idea.
  12. Maybe I should do that. I have everything but the video card for my build. I could make use of some of the spare parts from the HP.
  13. The rule was don’t come in here with your gun out and loaded. When instructed to respect the rule he started firing. What fucking rule would change that?
  14. Low of 50 down here in Naples, FL tonight. Pray for us.
  15. We are doing the same. It looks like we can cover six payroll periods with the loan funds. I thought we’d run out on March 15 but it looks like April 15 is the last payroll it will pay out. We’ll only use the funds for payroll. ETA: our payroll is run on the 15th and last day of each month.

    First thing I would do is get this AIO nonsense out of my mind. They all suck. Seriously, they all suck. I would be looking at an entry level Pro-Ject or U-Turn turntable. Then I'd get an integrated amp. Preferably with a built-in phono stage. Next I would establish a budget for speakers are do some listening if at all possible. Speakers should be half your budget. You can get a solid starting setup for about $1k. That does not include a subwoofer. If the integrated amp doesn't have a phono stage you can get it built into the U-Turn for another $70. Emotiva Integrated Amp UTurn Orbit Basic Turntable Monitor Audio Radius Speakers This setup will set you back about $1100 and would be a great starting point. However, speakers are subjective and I do suggest that you listen before you buy. ETA: That helmet collection made me throw up in my mouth a little.
  17. Bootcamp.
  18. I’m pretty psyched for it. Now I’ll have a compact system where in my last house I had two racks of gear. No need for that anymore. I’m also glad I didn’t pull the trigger on the NAD earlier as they had issues with the screen developing a line from the original touchscreen manufacturer who then went out of business due to COVID-19. Now hopefully I’ll get a model with the initial bugs worked out.
  19. I’m going to pull the trigger on an NAD Master Series M33 in a few weeks when Dedicated Audii has them back in stock. I don’t really have the need or want for full surround sound anymore and this beauty will take care of all my needs. HDMI ARC in, phono input and it will push nearly 400 WPC into my speakers. It also will stream the hi-res service that I use (Qobuz). I recommend anyone that streams music and has a decent system invests in a hi-res streaming service. Stop listening to crappy sounding compressed music and go lossless. There are several services that offer lossless and it’s a huge difference if your system has the resolution to show it. ETA: The M33 will replace my now vintage Tag McLaren AV32R processor and Anthem amp that I currently use.
  20. Language from the email we received from the SBA. The SBA is launching a new round of Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Advances - called Targeted EIDL Advance - which provides eligible businesses with $10,000 in total grant assistance. If you received the EIDL Advance last year in an amount less than $10,000, and you meet the Targeted EIDL Advance eligibility requirements, you may be eligible to receive the difference up to the full $10,000. The combined amount of the Targeted EIDL Advance and any previously received Advance will not exceed $10,000.Please review the eligibility criteria and application instructions below carefully before you proceed to the application portal for the Targeted EIDL Advance.Businesses eligible for the Targeted EIDL Advance must meet ALL of the following eligibility criteria: Located in a low-income community, as defined in section 45D(e) of the Internal Revenue Code. SBA will map your business property address to determine if you are in a low-income community when you submit your Targeted EIDL Advance application. Suffered economic loss greater than 30 percent, as demonstrated by an 8-week period beginning on March 2, 2020, or later, compared to the previous year. You will be required to provide the total amount of monthly gross receipts from January 2019 to the current month-to-date. Must have 300 or fewer employees. Business entities normally eligible for the EIDL program are eligible, including sole proprietors, independent contractors, and private, nonprofit organizations. However, agricultural enterprises, such as farmers and ranchers, are not eligible to receive the Targeted EIDL Advance.
  21. Good news from SBA but not for all of us. The EIDL grant has now been extended to $10000 for all businesses. But there’s a catch. There are three criteria a company must meet and one of them is that the company is located in a low income area. I guess they’ve determined only companies in low income areas are still in need.
  22. The same case is made without glass sides. It’s really highly rated in reviews. The only limitation is that the gpu is limited to 280 mm hence the need for me to get a 3060ti for it.
  23. All of them unfortunately. I’m on a couple of email notification lists for a 3060ti. Not holding my breath.
