War Room Lounge Thread v179: You got this Big Dog.

[Prokofievian]

I just won 1,000 bucks on a 10 dollar scratcher Holy shit

Use it to buy 100 more 10 dollar scratch tickets. This is how it starts buddy! Bezos, look out!

I'd say 90% of people can't shoot for shit in ideal circumstances.

If you're in the dark, alarm potentially going off, after you just woke up, while you're panicking because there's an intruder in your house, that number goes up to 99.999%. Bet you'll wish you had more than 6 rounds then.

This seems like a remarkably fantastical scenario, where you're turning your house into swiss cheese and firing 20 rounds in a shootout with, I have to assume, a collection of also-armed individuals. Maybe I get it if you're a drug dealer moving substantial amounts of product, but in that case it's occupational hazards and you can get fucked endangering the public to lubricate your profession.

But I also cannot remotely empathize with that anxiety. I don't own a gun, I live in a poor neighborhood and have lived in very poor neighborhoods, and I've never felt that anything other than a hunting knife in my nightstand is needed. If someone breaks into my house wanting to steal my 2011-era flat screen and they shoot me dead, I don't think I'll spend my final moments thinking "rats, if only that pussy liberal government let me have a 30-round assault rifle!"

Somali Mommy takes no prisoners apparently

damn, the 6tb SSD & rocking GSkill.. I want to say she knows her shit & is serious with it. but I know whoever supplied her with that machine, she's just parroting on their behalf.

 

[Falsedawn]

I'm running a 3900x and a 2080ti, but she has more bells and whistles.

That NVMe drive and the 6TBs of SSD storage tell me she's probably refreshing for a 3090 right now lmao. AIB or bust boiiiiiiz

Actually, I described a common forced entry scenario. If you were to break a window in the middle of the night, that would literally be the sequence of events on my part. That you don't see it as being the most probable sequence of events says more about you than me tbh. Cops ain't teleporting to my location, and frankly I don't need them to come out post hoc and "take a report" when I needed protection.

Ain't nothing liberal or conservative about it, it's an extension of my views on bodily autonomy. If you violate my private space in a manner that I feel presents a threat to my quality of life, i'm going to affect your quality of life in a permanent manner. Unless you're going to nerve staple criminals or increase the number of cops 10,000 fold (please god don't do this), then your onus for protection is on you. Don't let America catch you slipping.

This is my favorite part:

Formerly, Ryan worked in concert production — a background that has opened many doors to understanding the ins and outs of setting up high-level shows

​

Apparently attending Rock Camp counts as concert production. AYY.

But seriously, that promotion seems to be doing well so good for him I say.

That's mighty big of you
I, for one, still hope he gets hit by a bus

@rob mafia (not trying to pick a fight bro, so relax) made a stink about me offering links selling 128gb nvmes (2230s & 2242s) for 15 beans a pop.

yeah, the capacity ain't all that, but a lot of people, including myself, always have a boot drive, where games & everything else are stored on an additional drive.

more often than not, people resort to this arrangement to keep things clean, secure, organized, what have you - where everything wouldn't be cluttered on a single drive setup. I even see people opt for those ultra high end Intel Optane nvmes with smaller storage capacities, using them as their boot drives & shit.

I have lived in poor neighborhoods as a gun owner without worrying.

But now, I live in a larger city about 4 miles away from an area that is rife with gangs. THAT's what has me more... well, worried about stuff like that and you add in my job and I get to read what some people do in crimes and shit it adds to it.


Off that topic... this dog's face:

Fucking liquid cooling always freaks me out with PCs.

That's not "real" liquid cooling. Most CPU coolers use a form of liquid cooling where instead of a fan being directly on the CPU there is a radiator near other fans on the case. It's a self contained circular system.


Real liquid cooling looks more like this and cools everything. She has a more common CPU liquid cooler.

like 2 weeks ago, i talked shit on you for repeatedly trying to hijack arcade threads to sell your garbage.

Real water cooling looks more like this.

This just raised my blood preassure and anxiety levels.

I KNOW it's been around a long time and the biggest issue is taking it apart to flush the system once in awhile but the idea of liquid near electronics freaks me the fuck out.

I got a funny feeling your employer will be receiving a phone call very soon

NZXT is a growing custom build company. So I assume they or her staff just did it for her.

Can I charge you for my heart attack bill?

"Doctor, this athletic and explosive man caused my heart attack"
"Athletic and explosive?"
"He was black...."
"........."
"........"
"You a KKK member?"

@Limbo Pete there are actually alt-right tards thinking Oregon might flip. Sorry but I can't stop giggling at that.
