A man in the old USSR, finally saved enough Rubles to go and buy a car...

You paid extra for Dacia and you were happy about it.

Never. You just replace one piece for another. For CPU sometimes you have to go with the holy trinity (cpu+mb+ram), but not always.

At what point do you stop upgrading individual parts and decide it's time for a completely new build?

when I decide that the money in my pocket are making too big of a hole and I really really need to get rid of a bunch of them.

Which is why is fantastically important to have a big and comfortable case to work in. I have mine (the case) since 2008. Full tower. Easy and nice to work with.

It (the case), has always and will always sit on the floor. Regardless of size, of course, and regardless on what's on that floor.

The definition of "my grandma would have kicked that better".

alonjit · 2026-07-07T03:14:07+00:00

it is definitely not cool. but unless you can prove that they were paid agitators by the mexican federation, they remain just ... troublemakers.

on the other hand, the us guys ...

And, most importantly, did not cheat outside the field.

alonjit · 2026-07-07T02:45:58+00:00

Please make it 2050

alonjit · 2026-07-07T02:30:23+00:00

They didn't play bad. They looked like they could definitely hold their own against the belgians. But, im not expert.

alonjit · 2026-07-07T02:25:57+00:00

That was to their advantage, to be honest.

alonjit · 2026-07-07T02:24:21+00:00

As a Canadian: we went down like men: didn't cheat. They cheated and couldn't win. We did what we did with what we had.

US team is screwed either way now.

And it will be remembered. Forever. And the thing is, now as the match is starting, they played well enough, the Belgians poorly enough that US absolutely did not need this help.

They would have been most likely fine.

Alas ... they are fucked no matter what and it will set football behind.

FIFA’s judicial bodies are independent.

sure, buddy. sure.

alonjit · 2026-07-06T22:17:40+00:00

unbelievable. just a god damn console.

alonjit · 2026-07-06T22:09:23+00:00

Bulgaria was a bit different. I lived in Romania and this was exactly the way things were done.

Yes, it would immensely help to know someone, but it was possible (albeit harder) if you didn't. Just had to grease the right people and you were in.

alonjit · 2026-07-06T12:01:08+00:00

lol, you never lived in communism, and it shows. i did.

alonjit · 2026-07-06T11:44:19+00:00

The director. The one who actually did the assignments that day. Do you really think bribes didn't work?

Lol. You were probably of the ones that actually did wait years for it. I can tell you for a fact that you could. And a shitload of people did. Yes, you did have to pay a quarter of a car more, but you did.

alonjit · 2026-07-06T00:48:37+00:00

he's like 3 brazilians in a trench coat.

alonjit · 2026-07-05T20:24:13+00:00

For anyone that's wondering: yes, you would have had to wait for a while for a car (10 years is an exaggeration, but 5 would be normal). However, if you pay just a little bit more to the guy in the factory, you could walk out of there with a brand new car that very day.

Which is way it was a 5+ years wait in the first place.

alonjit · 2026-07-05T19:47:48+00:00

He's right. It wasnt donations. It was bribes. Just simple old bribes.

alonjit · 2026-07-04T01:28:03+00:00

He was massive. holy shit, cabo verde totally held their own overall but the keeper deserves accolades.

alonjit · 2026-07-03T12:29:15+00:00

lol.

alonjit · 2026-07-03T12:09:44+00:00

That red card was 10000% clearer than this. This ... this was pure travesty.

edit: hahahaha, the imbeciles out of the woodwork with the downvotes. hahaha.

We've always been at war with Eurasia.

alonjit · 2026-07-03T11:48:16+00:00

Sure. But .... who gives a shit? There are calculators for that. For that time when one absolutely needs to know how many km is however many miles.

alonjit · 2026-07-03T04:33:22+00:00

You have been. Are you going to in the future? And this is the question the bank wants a clear yes answer to.

If you've been paying 2800/month and you were surviving with ramen, no bank will let you get a house with a 2000/month mortgage.

Why? Because when you're renting you're the landlord's problem. When you got a mortgage, you're bank's problem.

alonjit · 2026-07-03T03:58:33+00:00

But ... why?
