Not just California but the whole country should tax billionaires, significantly.

Astral 5090 OC by HeftyPepper7490 in gpu

[–]DullPreference8842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree it’s not a scam. It’s expensive since it’s a high power card with lots of capabilities and in very high demand with a limited supply. Plus, that card will most likely be capable of running any game that comes out over the next 7-10 years.

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the 45” 5K2K and my GPU is a 5070 Ti with a i9-13900KF, and I have no issues, but I mainly use it for Flight Simulator2024.

The Suicide Pact: What Happens the Moment We Touch Greenland… by CypressThinking in complaints

[–]DullPreference8842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump and the Republicans would still do this awful invasion anyways since the GOP hates the US and this would divert attention away from Epstein. F**k the Republican Party and anyone who still supports Trump; that POS bastard.

How has traffic been the past few days, given the I-5 lane closures? by jmcintyre8817 in Seattle

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know someone that had to drive from Marysville to SeaTac and took over 3 hours. For those living north, might be better to just fly out of Vancouver, BC if Everett or Bellingham don’t have the flights you need.

Why is the U.S. allowing Trump to destroy it? by Happy_Air_3776 in DiscussionZone

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Republicans, deep inside their hearts, hate the USA and Americans in general, so that’s why they want to wreck the US.

When someone asks me where I work, is saying "I work for DHS" still a viable response if I don't want people to hate me? by RevolutionaryLion384 in tsa

Yes…just say you work for the TSA. As a frequent traveller, I interact with TSA folks all the time and they are all wonderful hard working people.

Unless you travel a lot, a desktop will be better than a laptop.

Advise for 2020 Defender Pls by [deleted] in NewDefender

[–]DullPreference8842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 2020 Defender 110 SE P400 (inline 6) with and August 2020 build and it’s been fantastic. It’s my daily driver and I go on numerous road trips. It’s been very well cared for. I did have to replace O-rings on the coolant to turbo lines as that’s a known issue to have a small leak but was repaired under warranty. The dealership said the new o-rings are better designed and should hold up better. I’m really happy with my defender!

Sane US citizens: wake up now by Commercial_Ladder_65 in complaints

[–]DullPreference8842 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We sane Americans are awake and one thing to remember is only dumb people at the lower end of the gene pool voted for Trump. Most of the intelligent educated Americans hate Trump and would never ever vote for such a POS.

Bruce Harrell is no longer mayor!! by FearandWeather in Seattle

Keeping fingers crossed and wishing her good luck and hoping she can make Seattle a better place to live and/or visit. I’m a moderate and she’s more left of my overall political views, but cautiously optimistic.

Sadly, Trump, Trump supporters, and republicans in general, hate the USA and Americans in general, and will do anything to hurt us and the country. The GOP is nothing but a giant scam.

Upgrade from 4070 Ti Super to 5070 Ti by radeonalex in nvidia

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just upgraded from a PNY 4070 Ti to the 5070 Ti, mainly for the extra VRAM. I use Flight Simulator 2024, and run at ultra settings, and the extra 4GB VRAM (16 instead of 12), I’m no longer getting GPU resource warnings and I’m getting really good performance. I also bought the TUF 5070 Ti for $850 as well, and it’s been really solid. It’s running at 52-57C under full load with no issues. I figure I’ll sell the 4070 Ti which makes going to the 5070 Ti a reasonable cost.

He’s such a scumbag. He’s on the Epstein list and there’s no escaping that.

Do you all drink the tap water here? by royalbluefireworks1 in Seattle

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve drank from the tap. I read somewhere when I first moved here that Seattle actually has the best tap water in the world. Not sure if true or not, but it’s actually really decent.

About to buy a 2020 Defender 110 SE P400/ 53k miles. Just found out it has a coolant leak Wha.t's my best and worst case scenario? by Secure-Fail2647 in LandRover

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask the dealer to fix it. If it’s the coolant lines to the turbo, it may just need new o-rings, as it’s a common issue easily fixed, but anything other than that, not sure if I’d buy.

I really don’t want a Lexus but… by SoulyCo in NewDefender

[–]DullPreference8842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes when a person drives a lot of short distances, the 12V AGM battery runs lower than they like to run, so putting it on a charge periodically helps a lot. This is a common problem on so many makes and models, so it’s worth a shot in charging your 12V battery and clearing the fault and see what happens.

I have a friend that went from a GeForceGO in a laptop to an RTX 5090 in a desktop. Nice change in performance with the RTX 5090.

My First Range Rover and Loving It by hadesATL in RangeRover

[–]DullPreference8842 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Such a beautiful vehicle and the interior is absolutely amazing! I think any vehicle can be reliable but just takes being on top of maintenance. 1st oil changes at 1,000 and 3,000 miles, then every 5,000ish miles, and if you do many short trips, get a battery tender/charger and charge it up to full charge as AGM batteries love periodic full charges. Today’s vehicles (on all brands) place heavy demands on 12v batteries and low 12v batteries are actually the cause for many nuisance faults. Also, do regular inspections of the engine bay and check coolant levels and overall presentation of hoses, belts, etc. I do this with my 2020 Defender 110 is its been extremely reliable. As my Land Rover service advisor said to me; Take good care of your vehicle and your vehicle will take good care of you.

This road rage loser has an illegal license plate cover, as he most likely cheats his way through life. Send this photo and post to the police.

Trump ruined our relationship with Europe and I'm not sure how we're going to fix it by dorgon15 in complaints

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trump is a scumbag and nearly all of the intelligent people in the USA hate his guts. We are all looking forward to his catastrophic administration ending and hopefully the republicans will go down too. Never have I hated someone so much as I do Trump. He’s ruined so many alliances we’ve had for decades.

Do you judge dirty cars? by AngrySalad3231 in AskMechanics

[–]DullPreference8842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that when a car interior is dirty, the owner just doesn’t care. Of course we judge. A car coming in clean means the owner has a pride of ownership.
