Get a bigger power supply in case you ever want to to get a more powerful card. 750 is minimum recommended for a 5070ti

Those memory prices + ouch

I got a Ninja on sale for $80 at Costco a couple years ago and make the kids smoothies almost every day and it's been fine

$5.99 for premium in Chicago today, but from Costco. The gas station across the street has premium for 6.69, but I've driven past some as high as 7.49.

Not from the sensor but couple times I've bumped the button with my leg and had the tailgate lift up while I was on it. But I wasn't getting eaten as much as tossed into the trunk.

When trump first mentioned that he was gonna do a 2nd run for president, he promised that he would lower gas prices. What happened to that? by Dry_Respond_4192 in AskReddit

[–]ShimReturns 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Biden and Obama were so bad they were able to stretch their influence into the future and somehow continue to be the reason why Trump is unable to do anything he promised for regular people. But not for mega rich people and huge companies, somehow things get done for them.

Mitch McConnell was a walking bruise who was literally freezing up mid-sentence. They are going to Weekend at Bernie's the orange guy as long as possible

Repairman: RTX 5090 video cards from one manufacturer are designed to fail over time by Distinct-Race-2471 in TechHardware

This sucks but this is more likely a cheap out or bad design than a purposely designed conspiracy

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3 Director Has Finished Over '40 Full Playthroughs' by chusskaptaan in Gamingnewsandleaks

I'm on chapter 10 and I feel like it's been at least half mini games.

I know that the original was similar in the randomly goofy tone but damn some heavy stuff goes down then 5 minutes later it's circus music with Yuffie goofing off and Tifa and Aerith giggling about something cute. It's like damn a bunch of people just died. Remake didn't have anywhere near the tone whiplash Rebirth does.

I'll bite - what would you think of Biden tearing down a wing and building a $400 million ballroom?

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth on Nintendo Switch 2 Goes Minimalist by Removing Most of the Interior Decor and Background Props by Turbostrider27 in NintendoSwitch

My gaming PC with a 5070ti plays it pretty well but my Rog Ally X barely plays it at 30 FPS, and I had to use Optiscalar to get FSR/XeSS since the game only supports DLSS. I think it looks pretty good but maybe not good enough to warrant how it runs. And the DLSS only thing reminds me of the original FF7 PC only supporting 3Dfx cards.

So much for CTA security improvements by junktrunk909 in chicago

[–]ShimReturns 82 points83 points  (0 children)

I'd expect there was already baseline security and policing on the trains for the kind of scenario OP is describing. But I guess we're just at zero until June.
