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

I like Malamutes and Akitas because they're like having a small bear in your house. Can play tug of war with them and other games like you could with a lab or a golden retriever but they don't really bark unless it's necessary.

Malamutes are GREAT with kids though. They were bred to watch the kids while the Inuit went out hunting and fishing is my understanding so they take to that "job" really well.

I don't really like Akitas, or at least the Akitas that I meet out and about. They're really quite aggressive towards strangers and other dogs. Most of their owners and far more on top of their dogs than pitbull owners though. If there's something that pisses me off, it's dog owners who think they own a pug when they own a dog that is easily capable of killing a human being. Not to get sexist, but it's almost always women for some reason. I don't know why, but it is and those bitches drive me nuts.
 
I just don't see those self contained systems as the same thing as traditional liquid cooling with all the pipes and vats, etc.

If you don't have to mess around with refilling the fluid and stuff it's a bit different and really shouldn't incite any apprehension in a casual user.


Though sure, it's still technically liquid cooling.
This one's even better. Gigabyte actually used the fact that oil and water don't mix to throw an aquarium in.

Cool as shit looking but I couldn't do it holy fuck.

I'm only JUST getting into thinking about swapping out components in my tower PC I got pre-built I don't want to fiddle around with water. Especially since my case came with a big fan on top and three big ones on the front and another big one in the back as well so it's a case designed for air cooling.

Akitas are not super friendly with other dogs by nature unfortunately. That's the one drawback of that breed and it requires an owner that can control it.

My last Akita loved playing with other dogs but he had to be the "alpha" one in those instances so lots of dogs weren't fans of him. You get them around other dogs a lot at the house as pups though and it might be a different story:

Gonna have to send you pics soon.

My buddy just got a new Akita pup named Carl.... The older one Reggie hates him but he just wants to be around Reggie nonstop lol

I bought their cheapest 8GB RAM and I'm going to get a low CAS set whenever it actually ships. I'm supposed to get it next week, but I doubt they have any 3080s.

I was abnout to say, regarding the memory haha

how much? that's pretty crazy & I know you're paying a lot. not that it matters, I'm just one of those guys who doesn't believe in paying retail etc. there are always deals out there. like crazy deals especially if you have professional vendor hookups. for free even.
 
I've never once posted my ebay links., trying to sell my shit. that's too personal bro.

I have made posts about selling individual laptops I've built, professionally optimized, custom setups/ program installs etc.. I've sold one on here to @Clippy . I'm not looking to profit off of you motherfuckers, so I'd appreciate you stop in trying to paint me that way. I'd rather hook yous guys up with good hardware as opposed to some stranger & shit.

ask the Clip man himself, how I sold him a souped up rare s5 yoga 15, with a brand new touch screen Wacom digitizer, for a LOT less than what it's worth. the screen alone is worth around the same price he paid for the laptop.

for not looking to unload your wares on us, you did a great job of posting a lot of ebay links (seemingly from the same ebay account). and you just denied it but now you sound like you're affirming it. in weird detail, no less.

ffs, man. i don't care if it's your account or your shill/shell/wife/friend 's account, it's the same thing.
 
So rudy is in the new borat movie touching his dick apparently

$2800 after shipping and taxes, which really isn't that bad at all.

If you pieced it out and bought all the parts separately you'd probably pay just as much if not more.

The GPUs are basically non-existent right now, so if I get one it's probably worth more than the price of my whole PC on ebay.

That's another unique thing about the breed. When they're pups they can't get enough of other dogs to the point the older dogs will get annoyed about it but put up with it as they get "it's a puppy".

Folks new place is fully fenced in so I wonder if they'll get another dog or not.

dear God - all you have to do is cross reference the location of that ebay seller account & the fact that I'm in NY. I don't even remember where that seller is from, probably from the West Coast. but believe what you want to believe man.

these guys in here, & many others know I'm not a shyster.

Yeah, because they took all the mess out of it lol. Custom loops are an investment, and there's no need to do it unless you're cooling GPU and CPU. If you're just doing one (or have frequent hardware swaps), an AIO is infinitely better.
 
you really thought that I was selling that shit/linking my ebay store? & repeatedly? I hardly post in The Arcade. keep up son.

I couldn't find the 'hookup' or whatever thread so I linked that shit in there (whatever thread that was). & why do you say I was linking "garbage"? that was/is all legitimate hardware, for good prices. I tested them out for myself. I sold a few t470s with those nvmes serving as boot drives - functioning as they should. I literally said in that thread that I only sell ThinkPads, & that store isn't mine.
Never mind him , he's a top tier shit poster , he often gets the wrong end of the stick

Bloody hell man just admit you were wrong , you won't implode or suddenly drop dead , try it , it'll be ok

<{vega}>

The case matters insofar as you can fit a radiator or reservoir, they're not designed for water cooling. Not to say that bespoke cases or cases with QOL fittings for water cooling don't exist, but water coolers are using the same cases as air coolers bruv. Size and airflow are what matter.

dude, you tagged me into this and are trying to defend being a shyster to me.

when i reallllllllllly don't care and made a relevant comment when it was relevant (weeks ago), after you posted yet another ebay link. i wasn't even the one who talked shit on the quality. because i didn't even look. because i just don't care about your ebay business.

honestly, you seem mental.

Yes it was the first time I bought something from a guy I only know via Sherdog and it was a great success

<DCWhoa>

I get that but the pure amount of fans in this one feels like it'd be redundant to do any sort of liquid cooling in it.
 
Bringing this here because offtopic in the polling thread and the email thread is an unreadable mess right now.

Nope. Because no one except hardcore GOP partisans care about it.

What exactly is the "scandal"? That Joe Biden's kid has drug problems? The majority of Americans feel sorry for Biden because of that, and it makes him even more relatable. The GOP making the election about personal attacks on Biden's family makes them seem disgusting and pathetic... like the party of Trump.
I think there are three parts, and I'm going to ignore chain of custody issues/provenance of texts+videos for now.
  • Drug use
  • Business dealings
  • Some amorphous child-sex/porn thing that changes every few hours.

The drug thing everyone knows about.

The business dealing accusation is that Hunter and Biden were allegedly selling the office of VP for money.

This is sometimes defined in different ways - anywhere from payments for access to payments for favors from the Obama administration. The first is close to what Hunter was letting people think he could provide. There is a text in which a guy who was an external advisor to a Burisma colleague thanks Hunter for the chance to meet Biden, although it's not clear that the meeting occurred - Biden was at public events that day - or what the scandal actually is. The second is basically a rehash of the accusations against Clinton, but less organized and even less sensical.

The actual texts+emails release so far are consistent with what is already known and the ultimate findings of the Burisma investigation: Hunter was using his last name to score lucrative deals, but Joe Biden was not involved in any impropriety (nor was Hunter actually violating the law). The only text exchange I've seen that allegedly shows more is hunter messaging a third party about a % for "Pop", which the usual rabid mouth breathers have taken to mean a mafiosa style cut for Joe Biden.
Some are pointing to the fact that two of hunter's coworkers are imprisoned - one of whom had provided emails exchanged with Hunter - but they were convicted for a domestic fraudulent investment scheme, not access selling. Others are pointing to Biden's $10M increase in wealth after leaving office, but the reasons for that are well documented by the same disclosures from which they learned about the increase in wealth. (a big book deal). Others are pointing to the fact that Hunter was a drug addict and not an energy expert, but he was an international business attorney, and it's pretty clear he was hired at least in part for his name. 500K isn't a lot for an idiot, but it's about what the firm would bill me at for a year, and if I had a handy family connection it'd be worth the gamble. It's possible I missed some other "evidence," but unlikely.


Finally, the CP/sex abuse allegations. These are all over the map, and allegations have ranged from CP to videos of human trafficked minors to videos of molesting or creepshots of underage relatives. They're completely inconsistent. Some of the RW posters are cautioning the others that these seem like bullshit, but many are gleefully repeating them or hopefully speculating. I saw three sources of "evidence."
The first is "sources are telling us that there is (fill in version of story here". This is mostly coming from places like gatewaypundit, infowars, and 4chan, none of whom have seen it themselves. There is also a several week old video in chinese that allegedly says something about it, but I don't speak chinese and that seems particularly ridiculous. I think @Ruprecht has mentioned the origins of that.
The second I saw is a text or email in which hunter complains that someone told his(?) therapist that she doesn't take kids to his house or FaceTime him because he wanders around naked. This has been summarized in the smear by some right wing pundits as "complained about inappropriate behavior with children." This deliberately ambiguous phrasing has been gleefully interpreted by some as meaning rape. And, since Biden received the email, that he was complicit in the rape (I think people are misapplying mandatory reporter laws here).
The third is Giuliani stating that he gave the laptop to the delaware police to review for "pictures of underage children". This is also deliberately ambiguous for the same reasons as above. Still, some posters who are stupid or should know better are claiming that this means it is something "real" because otherwise it would be libel, but Giuliani's words are carefully chosen to imply sexual abuse or child pornography without actually saying it, which is usually enough to avoid liability in the states. It's Glenn Beck's famous and now transparant "I didn't say he was a (thing), just asking questions. Why are you so defensive? Shouldn't we know?"

@Sketch I'm tagging you so you can figure out who I'm insulting at various points and let them know to defend themselves. I didn't keep track of names in that thread, but I'm sure you can be of assistance in that regard.
