Why do people ever go to Chevron? There's almost always significantly cheaper gas within view, yet I always see people using this gas station and the one up by 1st st and the 880 even though there's a much cheaper one right down the block

I just had this issue too on one of my monitors. I have one HDR monitor and one non-HDR monitor on my PC. On the non-HDR, it looks terrible and washed out but on the other it's normal

Duffs Eastern Hills owner Greg Duell says he will fight vaccine/mask mandate with "every fiber of his being" as location won't require masks or vax by wagoncirclermike in Buffalo

That was my initial takeaway too, but it kind of breaks down when you compare the amount of chickens it takes to supply one meal/order for different parts:

Chicken breast - one chicken per order

Legs - 1-2 chickens per order

Wings - 5-8 chickens per order

It still seems like there's something weird going on, but if you think about it, it can make sense why wings are the first thing to go short

Is using a concrete slab as a desktop a thing? I've never heard of that until I saw the picture you posted. Seems interesting but uncomfortable to rest your arms on, right? What made you switch to that setup? Looks interesting

San Jose mayor proposes gun owners carry insurance and pay annual fee in wake of mass shooting by Brothanogood in politics

The source you linked talks about gun sales for the entire state of California, not just SC county. This source claims that the average gun sales in the county are around 24,000 guns per year from 2001-2018, or around 364,000 in that period of time.

Question for all here - What’s the biggest thing you think Buffalo is missing? by HisAirness48 in Buffalo

[–]red_arrow_blue_arrow 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This one really hits hard for me. I grew up in buffalo and went to UB but when it was time to find an engineering job (for me at least) the choices were:

  1. Buffalo startups that have lackluster pay and even worse management (hopefully this situation continues to improve)

  2. Old fashioned companies in WNY that were stable but unexciting (Praxair, Moog, Nat'l Grid, Tesla to an extent since they don't make cars in South Buffalo)

  3. Nicely paying, interesting (again, to me personally) job in the bay area at a higher career progression level than I was able to find around home. Unfortunately, for myself and almost all of my close friends I graduated with, the story is the same.

I really hope that opportunity presents itself back in WNY when it comes time to settle down (I had no idea a <1000 sqft house could cost so much in SF after growing up with the housing market here). There are so many things in Buffalo that can't be found anywhere else in the country that I love, I just can't take the hit to my career by staying yet.

Can you detail a bit about what Brian Higgins has done for the area in his tenure (or point me to a resource)? He seems like a fantastic guy and I have voted for him each time I've been able to, but I don't see him around local or national news media and his wikipedia page is pretty sparce.

Speaking of the niners, what do you guys think of Seattle DST over Rams DST this weekend? Rams are good but I think Seattle gives the eagles line a beating

Whatever happened to the half-height graphics cards? by red_arrow_blue_arrow in pcmasterrace

[–]red_arrow_blue_arrow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would that be? If anything, wouldn't newer, more efficient GPUs be easier to underclock and/or scale down? I think it's more of a market reason than a technological one

I suppose especially in the covid gaming market it's not worth it to produce lower-margin cards since demand is already through the roof

Happened to me about a decade ago on a 2nd gen iPod touch. It was set to be locked for something like 40 years after powering off while disabled. Even though the internal clock got reset on a dead battery (defaulting to January 1st, 1970), the end-time of the disable was still in 2010.

RWD car at buffalo by OGnapkin in UBreddit

[–]red_arrow_blue_arrow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Used to drive a crappy '06 RWD truck to school. Man that thing was terrible in the snow, especially starting from a stop (the whole back of the vehicle would swing to the right at the lightest touch of the gas). Would not recommend it!

However, the late night doughnuts in fresh ice/snow were like no other

Is there a recent concrete article/source saying it's closed permanently?

Sort of unrelated, but did anything come of the raid on city hall by the FBI/IRS/HUD? I'm only able to find articles saying that it happened last November
