I've been tempted by an Ioniq 5, myself. My Prius is old AF (2007) with a ton of miles (288k). I love the look of the Ioniq and love its fast charging, and Hyundai dealers are offering $7,500 off of the MSRP to make up for it not being eligible for the tax credit.

I like you more already! ( I always did! )

Great news all around! Go Intel!

I'm curious, what would you have liked to see instead?

FWIW, I've also got a couple hundred books that are on shelves, and I'm totally counting those as decoration.

I recently was told that my cholesterol was a bit high, though not to the point of needing medication. Looking into it a bit more, I learned that one factor contributing towards high cholesterol can often be full-fat dairy, such as the half and half I was putting in my daily coffee or the whole milk I was using on cereal. So I switched to oat milk and I found that I quite like it. In particular, the Kirkland Signature oat milk from Costco is pretty good, IMO. Anyway... what alternatives do you all like, if any?

I also never used to do much more than put a silly poster or two on the wall (e.g. in college), but in the last few years I've started to put more thought into it. Like you, I noticed that it does make a difference in how I feel, making a space my own, etc. Here's my small "shrine" to Tolkien, for example:

FWIW, Ezra Klein is generally not worth paying any attention to, in my opinion.

It looks like Best Buy is having a bit of a sale on 4K Blu-rays for President's Day, if anyone is interested, though it looks like a lot of items are already sold out.

This is disappointing to see, if for no other reason than healthy competition is good for consumers. Though, those are some early numbers, and Intel is kinda notoriously bad with drivers early on in the life-cycle of their graphics products. Hopefully there will be some improvements shortly...

I actually still own the baseball hat with the lambda logo.

I bought many games within a few days or weeks of their release for the Gameboy Color, but the first game I can be absolutely certain that I bought on the first day was Grand Theft Auto III for PC. The t-shirt I got for preordering was one of my favorites for a long time.

I think I could hear something in that video, but it's a little hard to say; I'm not sure if the mic is picking it up properly. I definitely believe you that it's more annoying in person though; that would drive me crazy. Also, am I seeing correctly that you're also (still?) rocking some Klipsch ProMedia speakers? I've still got my 4.1s from like 2003.

Another article about this that someone posted on reddit (I'll see if I can find it) mentioned that in addition to the lying, there were fake documents planted. Which is a much bigger deal, since it shows a much more deliberate and longer-duration plan, likely with multiple people involved. Edit - Nevermind, it's in this article too: "falsification of records".

I did indeed pick up some brown sugar Pop Tarts yesterday.

I may have to go buy some today in his honor.

Better go liquid cooling just to be safe.

At least you still get HDR10+ and Dolby 5.1, but... bloody hell that is not a good look.

ok I should have known better that my comment would derail the thread, my apologies to @Spork3245. Let's get this back on track, please. I appreciated this video, thanks. I was wondering why he was only doing Mondays on the Daily Show.

GIF = "Graphics Interchange Format". When "graphics" is pronounced like "jraffics", people who claim it's pronounced like "jiff" will have a leg to stand on. Until then: Anyway... Can't wait to see him back in action!

Just filed my taxes for 2023. I got my federal taxes damn near perfect (only owed them $14) and I should be getting a $2,300 refund on my state taxes, thanks to a budget surplus in my state (Oregon).

This fuckin' guy... Our allies better hope this fuckin' guy doesn't get elected.

Yeah, to repeat what I meant in the OP: I have zero regrets about my own "lack of action" here. Besides the lawsuits, there are also potential safety concerns (both for me and my dog), and I have no idea what the guy allegedly did. Given the general lack of law enforcement in Portland these days (as @Fizzzzle can probably attest), I'd guess it would have to be something somewhat serious to actually get a cop to chase him down, but who knows.

And before anybody asks, no I don't have an uncle Ben and AFAIK I haven't been bitten by any spiders recently.
