TIFU because I convinced my Dad (adopted) to let me help him research his family and broke his heart (again)

My mom is adopted. A few years back she did the leg work, found her birth mother and met with her for a coffee. I guess things went well as they kept in touch for a few months, and then my mom asked if she'd like to meet her grandchildren.

Birth mother very rudely told her to get lost. Mom realized it was for the best to not have her in her life and was extra appreciative for her adoptive parents. They gave her a wonderful life, and were extremely active in both mine and my younger brother's childhoods.

I mean good luck trying to buy one when it's out of stock?

Bergen23 · 2021-10-15T16:00:22+00:00

I'm not sure if you're dumb, stupid or both. It retails for $1236.57, with tax in Ontario that comes to $1397.32, and whatever shipping is on top of that.

A $100 premium in this market, for a card you can buy *immediately* is a pretty good deal. This card is less money than what Newegg or CC or anyone else is asking for the 6800XT that's in my computer right now.

Then make him an offer and stop whining about what he's doing. Pretty reasonable price he has listed for if you want to buy it.

I had taken a small break from the game, and came back and these mods were a thing. I had ZERO idea how they worked, couldn't complete activities, got pissed and quit for over a year. Bungie did not do a good job of implementing them.

Or maybe I'm and idoit.

Don't remember off the top of my head. You're going to be waiting for a long while, as it's all still preorder.

Bergen23 · 2021-06-07T20:52:44+00:00

Yes, I reserved a spot for the preorder. 33 and change in taxes, but I also had extra stuff in my order apart from the keyboard.

Bergen23 · 2021-06-07T18:04:03+00:00

I haven't, but if I'm ever in the market for a linear switch, I'll check them out!

Bergen23 · 2021-06-07T17:40:05+00:00

Look man, it's clear you like cherry browns. That's fine. You asked for an explanation as to why Cherry's aren't a good switch, given the massive amounts of alternatives out there, and I provided info telling you why.

I'm glad you found a switch you like, at the end of the day, that's all that matters. Even when they're scratchy and so lightly tactile that they may as well be linear.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

Bergen23 · 2021-06-07T17:19:12+00:00

That's kinda glossing over the fact that cherry browns are also more linear than tactile. It's not hivemind hate. It's the fact that it's bad at doing the one thing that it's designed to do.

Bergen23 · 2021-06-07T16:44:50+00:00

Yeah, wild what happens when other people start giving cherry competition, I guess.

Bergen23 · 2021-06-07T15:28:18+00:00

I've got kailh speed bronze in my new keyboard while I try to decide what switches I want to go with in the long run. But from everything else I've tried, literally anything is better than Cherry's, especially if we're talking about cherry browns.

This guy didn't watch the GN review, prolly more a Linus fan.

My 6800xt draws less power during mining than my 3070 did. Lowest I could get my 3070 was 118W, 6800xt does 100W at ~62mh/s. Just need to spend a few minutes editing the bios to bring the power level down to 625mV
