    Newegg Canada and Best Buy Canada both still have numerous cards in the C$1,750 - $1,850 range in stock (MSRP on FE is $1,650). With crypto currency mining being gone, and the Covid insanity being mostly behind us, I've mentally moved on from that. Edit: Canada computers has TONS in stock, as low as $1,629 -- or lower than MSRP on FE.

    Species -- In general, the most basic level of taxonomic rank, where offspring are generally either not possible or infertile. Race -- an informal term used by scientists for subspecies, where offspring are generally fertile I had thought in D&D lore, race was used because most of the races could interbreed to create fertile offspring, and more importantly, Tolkien used the word (and D&D was largely based on Tolkien). That, and race isn't an offensive term.

    The only reason I haven't pulled a trigger on a new computer is the ridiculous price of the 4080s.

    Patriots fans are still claiming the Keenan Cole TD should have been ruled out of bounds. Photos from the sideline press, clearly show his foot was inbounds

    Wtf. Chandler Jones interception for TD to win it.

    I had some extra time on my hands the last couple of weeks, so started up GTAV on my Steam Deck. The attention to detail in the open world is impressive. The experience as a game, is somewhat underwhelming so far.

    The Colts taking inspiration from the Raiders today.

    This is one of a long list of infeasible planes/ships that have had renderings shown this year. I’m still not sure why press outlets bother to give them stories, given they have a 0% chance of seeing the light of day (barring the idiotic support of a middle eastern sovereign wealth fund).

    He was required to put on a special gown, mask, rubber gloves and a face shield, which had to be disposed of immediately upon leaving my room. He chose not to.

    Boosters reduce your likelihood of getting sick for about 10-12 weeks -- and the efficacy against infection are lower than you would think. I tested positive for Covid (completely asymptomatic) at the end of December (was tested because I was admitted to ICU) -- I was surprised how cavalier the neurosurgeons were towards it. Some nurses basically ignored me because they didn't want to enter my room, and the neurosurgeon would regularly enter my room with a chin diaper.

    This isn't even in their top 3 most embarrassing losses this year.

    It's been so long since I lived in the US, that I hadn't remembered that Thanksgiving was this week.

    Fauci Sees a Reduced Covid Threat This Winter - The New York Times WWW.NYTIMES.COM Dr. Anthony S. Fauci said the administration was optimistic that “we’re not going to see a repeat of what we saw last year,” when the Omicron variant swept through the country.

    Alexa is awesome. The kids use it to stream music. It's used as an intercom. We use the reminders with the kids all the time It's used to create our shopping lists. We use it to turn on and off lights. We could do everything with another services, but Alexa makes it so much easier.

    The BQ.1.1 variant story - by Eric Topol - Ground Truths ERICTOPOL.SUBSTACK.COM Overall, a very good look and omen for the next couple of months

    I think that is because the PG32UQX is a $3,000 monitor.

    @Spork3245 My research suggests that the only Monitors that have comparable HDR to high-end TVS are the super expensive ACER/ASUS monitors. The ones in the US$1,000 price ranges have compromises, and do a good job, but aren't up to that level. That said, US$1,000 is a lot to spend on a monitor. I'm considering getting the AW3423DW QD-OLED monitor. My gaming space is in the basement, so I don't have to worry about using it in bright spaces (and it will be used on a computer pretty much dedicated to gaming and consuming video content).

    If you thought the halftime concerts by the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving were bad… They got nothing on the horror that Regina has for a Grey Cup.

    This season, the Raiders are 2-0 against the Broncos and 1-7 against everyone else.
