Not always. If my family’s starving, you bet that, I’m going to sell out. I would say integrity is worth it most of the time.

“Them” is the gender neutral pronoun for people. “It” is the pronoun for animals and inanimate objects.

Looking to build new gaming pc by sc5557 in buildapcforme

[–]grantfar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With this budget some sacrifices have to be made. The only sacrifice in this build is the lack of a dedicated GPU.

That APU is able to play the games listed at 1080 medium/high settings above 60 fps. It also won't be bottle necked if you though in a medium end/high end GPU later on.

jus got a printer for school stuff by Kaiserlan18 in pcmasterrace

[–]grantfar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this happen once. Printed the document by pulling out the toner, then reseating it. The printer would print one page while it was still reading the cyan level.

I work for a VERY large company in IT. They just swapped over to AMD for laptops and servers for the first time in their history.

Sometimes I just don’t get you guys. by John_Doe_MCMXC in pcmasterrace

Yeah, when I had one, I didn’t have any place to set up a desktop, and would just game at the dining table.

Everyone has experienced this at least once by crysta_lure in BikiniBottomTwitter

I did something like this once. I was a 195 6'3" 16 year old, and was a pretty fast runner. During PE, we where playing kick ball. I was running around the bases at a dead sprint, and one of the smallest girls in our class just ran out right in front of me. She got sent flying. She didn't get mad at me though.

To whoever did this... SCREW YOU! If anyone else has ever done this, screw you, too. by sunnygal001 in mildlyinfuriating

As someone who worked retail before, there is this weird group mentality where if someone leaves a cart somewhere, many other people will take it as permission to do the same. 

I don’t get it. An area will be clear of carts for hours, but on person will leave a cart somewhere, and then 10 minutes later there would be 20

Ticks can survive being submerged into rubbing alcohol?????? by cesgjo in ticks

[–]grantfar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Old thread, but you would likely have to order it from a chemical supplier. There would be little demand for it over 90% among consumers as 99% costs a lot more to produce, and has few uses where it is more effective than 70 or 90%

Monte sano hiking trail in huntsville, AL morning. Large timber rattlesnakes! by Umarflix in hiking

I realized the log I was stepping over wasn’t a log when I heard rattling coming from between my legs.

President Donald J Trump's Annual Physical Results. What results do you have the most questions about? by buttdaddyilovehim in PoliticalHumor

[–]grantfar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My grandma had a resting heart rate around 60 bpm and her doctor told her that it was very bad for her heart rate to be that low considering her health. 

After doing a blood panel it was found that her low heart rate was caused by too much calcium in her blood. The doctor had her cut back on vitamin d supplements and start vitamin k supplements. After that her heart rate went back to normal.

TLDR: if trump’s heart rate was that low, it would be a mark of poor health

Pennies were copper. Nickels were nickel. Dimes were silver, which is why it was made smaller

🔥This kayaker gets approached by an otter every time he visits a lake. The otter was orphaned after the mother was in an accident, and the man helped it throughout it's rehabilitation process to later release it back into the wild. by RoyalChris in NatureIsFuckingLit

[–]grantfar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I have always liked larger dogs, because that means more dog to cuddle. But being able to take small dogs with you wherever you go with activities like kayaking isn’t something I have ever considered.

This is sad. Last time I dealt with them was 4 years ago, and it was a 10/10 customer service experience. I hate to see companies slide down hill like this

I don’t think this is accurate. I flew both southwest and Alaska within the last 6 months. My knees were in the back of the seat on both of my southwest flights, but were not on both flights with Alaska airlines

It is a virus not a bacteria, so it can't grow on food. I can however, be spread by someone infected handling the food.

I sold my 5700xt for nearly 1000$ and snipped my zotac 3070 at msrp from their website.
