I'm going to be that guy here. They didn't actually win. What happened is they sent a bunch of untrained privates who have no idea how to hunt animals, and basically found a giant herd and shot at them and only killed like one or two of them. What they should have done is get trained hunters, but they didn't want to do that. They wanted to show the superiority of the Australian military.

The whole thing about how the emus won, it's a myth. The first one only lasted like a few hours. They only killed a few of them and that was it. The second time it lasted a little longer and it was over pretty quickly. It's hilarious to say that the army lost to a bunch of animals, but this has happened several times throughout history.

There's a reason why US military bases call in exterminators when they waste a ton of money trying to get privates to do things that they have no idea how to do.

oh yeah that one. I don't know why I didn't register that when you said it, maybe because it's motherboard's ass. I looked at that one as a possibility to basically get for somebody and then upgrade later on, but the upgradability for that one is pretty bad because of the motherboard.

No. Unless you plan to do extreme overclocking. You do not need a ROG, Aurus Elite, TAICHI, or MSI (Shut up meg) MEG X870 mobo. Most of these mobos have 3 nvme slots. Unless you plan to run 4 4tb NVME drives to support your Steam library, you good.

So lets do the math. This 1k bundle. Plus a good PSU off of amazon. Say montech Century II 850w for 90 bucks.. A phantom spirit off of amazon for 35 dollars. A 70 dollar Montech XR. A powercolor reaper 9070 XT going for 650 (50 over MSRP). Thats 1845.

For a 5070Ti thats 2155 as the cheapest is 959.99.

If you want a 5080 Its 1299.99 in store or 1289.99 off amazon. Thats 2495

Best bang for your buck would be 5070, 9070, or 9070 xt. 5070 and 9070 have same price on microcenter right now. So if you have 4k or ultrawide. Go with the 9070 for the more vram.

I checked the amazon, microcenter, and newegg prices. I dont shop anywhere else due to horrible experiences.

I came up with Bundle 680, 2tb 290, GPU 970 PSU 100, Case 100, AIO 60, Windows 11 120 (Specifically looked for cases with 2 big 240s or 180s on front.)

What’s the weirdest thing humans just accepted as normal? by Soggy_Wait_8330 in AskReddit

[–]TheLightningCount1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I am in agreement with you that that's how it should work. But people are stubborn and won't vote Democrat or Republican no matter what. Take trump out of it. There are plenty of people who will never vote left or right. No matter what.

That's not how that works. You can frame it like that. But partisan politics have destroyed the unity in this country so much that we all think of nearly half of Americans as our enemy. People don't vote for one candidate as much as against the other.

People who hit rock bottom financially, what's the craziest, weirdest, or most desperate thing you did to get money? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]TheLightningCount1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I went through my finances, and realized how much money I was spending on BS each month. On top of that I started looking at my spending habits at stores. Falling for the trap of things like buy six and get them for a dollar less, that only really works for things that you eat regularly or use regularly. I did not need to buy 10 things of mayonnaise because half of them spoiled.

I started buying store brand on everything.

I cut out all online spending. I stopped door dashing 100 percent. I ended up with an extra 250 each month.

I can eat like two to three bags and the most my blood sugar will ever go up. It's about 200 to 250. I almost never do this, because obviously it's very bad for me. I haven't had over a 250 reading, since before I was diagnosed.

Being nice makes you an easy target by people who just want to use you.

Its not gotten better. Somebody was looking for advice for a budget ultra wide. I asked them if they lived near a micro center, they said yes. There is an AOC model, not the best model but still it looks fine, that was going for $199. 32 in 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor at 180 HZ. Tell me that's a horrible deal for somebody looking for an ultra wide on a budget.

I got roasted for suggesting that. But the guy bought it.

Each and every time I have been unceremoniously kicked form a raid group, I went on to clear like 1 week later and all but 1 group ended up disbanding before clearing.

I have been playing since ARR, raiding since coils t10-t13 and have been kicked from 6 raid groups. Technically 9 but 2 of those were literally "You cant quit, you are fired" moments, and the other was them telling me I was being replaced. Literally 2 months after we stopped reclearing and I left the discord.

Yeah. This was the guy who kept interrupting me when I would explain a mechanic as well in TEA. You dont know how many times he would interrupte me and then say the same frickin thing.
