Tell your neighbor about this wonderful stuff called concentrates and the smell problem will greatly decrease.

It's a night and day difference in funk cloud, largely because it's vaporized instead of burnt. And that hitting a couple dabs is equivalent to a fat joint in terms of intoxicating ability. Often cheaper than flower too, because you can source concentrates from tabletop trim.

Honestly, this is probably why I don't get complaints, aside from being nice to my neighbors. When I was smoking a lot of flower it was much more noticeable in the air around here.

He's coming along, and I'm grateful. His work has been amazing and have kept him on salary for four months now even though he hasn't been capable of much. He's starting back at work next week part time and will be easing into more and more as his physical therapy comes along. He's already on the phone an hour or two a day with coworkers helping them troubleshoot problems, so he'll be a benefit back in the shop even if he can't physically turn wrenches at the moment.

My step-mom, on the other hand, believes vaccine conspiracy theories. He's trying to show her the light. He's getting round two of his vaccine next week.

Are you transplanting a video card?

If not Are you sure the 5600X has a GPU built in because PCPartPicker says no.

Oh yeah, I'm keeping my RTX2060 for now, because a) I'm still happy with its performance and b) GPU prices, especially for the 30x are still absolutely stupid.
Gonna wait until May/June at the soonest to maybe grab a 3070 or 3080.

I had originally planned to wait until late March to buy a complete system, but since it looks like GPU prices still won't be in the non-stupid range by then, and all other components are in a perfectly normal range, I figured I'd just grab a new and beefier system now, run it with my 2060 and then look at GPUs later when the prices no longer make my eyes bleed.

I'm really excited to see the impact of an m2.nvme, since it's my first one.

Welp, I did a bit of reading up on the individual components over the last couple of days, but outside of the occasional user RMAing their CPU, I didn't see any actual concerning trends.
If it turns out to be an actual systemic issue and ends up happening to me, I'll probably just overnight a 3600 and demand a refund.

They're both AM4, and for the 3600 at least I'm 100% sure that customers are happy with it.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:

I went from a 7200 WD to an SSD and already felt like a different era, but the step up from SATA to an m2.nvme is apparently yet another proper leap. I can't imagine how going straight from HDD to m2.nvme must have felt like.

/edit:
Once this thing gets here, I think I'm going to dig up Doom again and rip-and-tear the poo poo out of it, but still leave Death Stranding and Cyberpunk mothballed until I buy a new graphics card. I was really looking forward to Cyberpunk on a new GPU, but ever since I started Death Stranding, that game has me much more excited to play on 4K out-the-rear end-Ultra settings.

The 3600 was actually my original pick, but I've had a solid surplus of my monthly savings budget even after adjusting it post-raise in August and since the cars we're building at work slowly kill me inside, I decided I was okay with paying 150 extra euroubles for another 24% performance hike over the 22% improvement I was already getting versus my 1600. The 3600 seems like a really drat solid CPU, so much so that the recommendation for it in the 2019 OP of the PC Building megathread still holds true today.

Currently renovating my bathroom with my in-laws help.


Finished gutting it and now just getting gang boxes setup and running romex before moving onto the plumbing. Hiring someone to do the tiling though because lol, gently caress that.

My wife wants to learn how to do the wiring though, so while my FIL is showing her how to do that, I've got nothing to do so I decided since the drywall is removed from two walls and I've got the fish tape already running down to my basement mine as well finish my ethernet project and finish the last three runs to the upstairs portion of the house. Just using the old phone outlets for drops to make things easier on myself.

Bidets are a game changer.
