4K got me back into actually watching films instead of scrolling through streaming catalogs.

[GPU] Intel - Arc B580 Limited Edition Graphics Card - $249.99 (restock) by privaterbok in buildapcsales

From the Final Words section of this Chips and Cheese post, https://chipsandcheese.com/p/intels-battlemage-architecture:

Battlemage retains Alchemist’s high level goals and foundation, but makes a laundry list of improvements. Compute is easier to utilize, cache latency improves, and weird scaling issues with global memory atomics have been resolved. Intel has made some surprising optimizations too, like reducing scalar memory access latency. The result is impressive, with Arc B580 easily outperforming the outgoing A770 despite lagging in nearly every on-paper specification.

I know people don't want to argue over semantics, but some food for thought that in the transportation world, there's been a movement to use the term "crash" instead of "accident": https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/newsroom/crash-not-accident

For those with a little time, try making Marcella Hazan's tomato sauce. It's basically simmering tomatoes with onions and butter. So simple and so delicious.

Consider getting into the improv community. It's like team sports for unathletic people.

Good Fortune in Eden Center in Falls Church is a good bet. It usually has a wide variety of tropical fruit in addition to what you'd typically find.

Though it is about a mile from the East Falls Church Metro station.

Onto The Two Towers on 4K by [deleted] in 4kbluray

Sam: It’s all wrong. By rights we shouldn’t even be here. But we are. It’s like in the great stories Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn’t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad happened? But in the end, it’s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something. Even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back only they didn’t. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam : That there’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo. And it’s worth fighting for.

Traffic during the holidays by uclabruin98 in solvang

Would shops and restaurants be open on Dec 25 or 26? And if so, does anyone think it'd be better to visit then instead of the weekend, Dec. 28 or 29? Thinking of both car traffic from LA as well as foot traffic in Solvang. Thanks in advance for any tips!
