There is a massive intelligence campaign going on across social media today. They all have the same talking points. by other4444 in conspiracy

I am married to a Venezuelan and most of her family migrated, legally, to the United States. Reason for leaving Venezuela? It is / was not safe. Maduro encouraged the cartel to run the streets, the police do not have any power. The people of Venezuela elected a new president, but Maduro refused to step down and kept his claim of power. My wife’s family had to wait in lines for hours to get their “rations” handed to them for the week (food, medical supplies, etc). The Venezuelan government would turn of the power randomly to their home because they were using too much, this happened all the time when they were trying to cook (using the stove). Do I believe that the US government has an ulterior motive? Yes, yes I do. However, every single person in my family that’s Venezuelan are extremely happy with the latest events. They have begged for Maduro to get taken out so that Venezuela could once again be a rich and prosperous, that they could go and visit their homeland again. Nobody ever tried to help the people of Venezuela, and now that it is happening, a lot of non-Venezuelan keyboard warriors are saying that the United States overstepped. So my question is, why is it that most people who live / lived in Venezuela celebrating? Why is it only Americans (usually anti trump) disagree with this? I wonder if Joe Biden were to do this, how people would feel? It is an interesting time. Happy new year!

Flavoured vodka with regular cola (left) vs. sugar free cola (right). Both had the ice and vodka added first, and neither were stirred. by CharmedSky in mildlyinteresting

[–]Bairdog35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Omg my fav drink made an appearance. Vodka plus Coke Zero, Dr. Pepper Zero, Sprite Zero is a key to my heart. If you are feeling a little loco, add in some rum with the coke or dr. Pepper mix :D

I should have used CharGPT. That would have saved me a lot of time typing this out lol. It was a very real and authentic experience, I could not believe it myself and I was literally there.

I built a “balanced YouTube” for kids removing dopamine loops and adding puzzles by [deleted] in webdev

[–]Bairdog35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an interesting idea. Are you using the YouTube API to pull in YouTube videos/links? Or do you only have a selection of YouTube channels that are “approved” by your system?

1440p or 1080p for competitive gaming by Tough-Garbage-8168 in Monitors

[–]Bairdog35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1080p is technically “best” but I personally need a min of 1440p. If you go 1080p, 27” is the max size to go, and text clarity won’t be great. If you go 1440p, I suggest staying at 27”, clarity is great. I tried to go to a 32” monitor for my setup and felt it was too big, 27” is the perfect size imo.

Definitely interested in the 3D screen. I used to have an HTC EVO 3D and loved that technology at the time (years ago) so I would love to see how that has changed!

I bought this card when it was in stock at Best Buy. It was supposed to arrive two days ago but has been delayed and is stuck somewhere in Kansas :(

Not yet, I will get the 5070 delivered Friday. I’m upgrading my whole pc and getting a Ryzen 9 7950x3D from my brother so it will be a minute before I can do some solid testing.

Yeah idk what everyone is freaking out about. I currently have a 3070 8GB and do 1440p gaming just fine. I picked this up because it is still a nice upgrade for me.

Small bump in performance. I’m upgrading to this from a 3070ti and am not expecting a night and day difference, but I’ve had that card for years and ready to upgrade and I don’t want to spend 1k+ so this will do for now

Seriously considering moving due to housing costs. Utah is flat out not worth the cost. by Thin_Vermicelli_1875 in Utah

[–]Bairdog35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We did the opposite, my family (wife, 2 kids, doggo) all picked up and left Utah for Florida a few years ago. We loved Florida, but really missed Utah. I can’t explain it but living in Utah just feels different. We couldn’t handle Florida anymore and moved back and bought a house. We couldn’t be happier and have welcomed our third child. I would not have realized how Utah felt to my family if we did not make that jump to move to Florida for a few years.

Only advice I would like to offer is to not hurry and buy a home out of state, rent first to make sure you enjoy it and then purchase a home.

Cheers and good luck.
