Binged through 161 episodes of Ranma ½. Only the 12 OVA are left. My head is all mushy. So far I can only say that there are a lot of episodes that are faithful to the manga, however there are also plenty stories with hacked-up plots spread over multiple episodes sprinkled over multiple seasons. Of course there are also not an insignificant number of original stories. These leaned more to the bad side, but a few were quite good. Over all I prefer the manga. The manga was tighter in the presentation and the jokes hit better because of that.

OK... I'm hit by reality. In order to fully utilize the AMD Ryzen 9 3950x I need to buy a motherboard that is well in the range of 400€+ because the motherboard power regulation often heat up so much that the CPU throttles. I take down a notch in my plans and get less ambitious in the CPU department. I rather want to upgrade more often than blasting all my earnings for the best. A 3900x will be sufficient enough! HAHAHA.

Black-grey wallpapers look great on any device. A cleaned-up scan from a manga has some class. http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/875384

Welp. The CPU is helplessly out of stock with no guarantee when it'll be restocked.

@drinkingpony Well... I stick to a 2080 super but I'll probably get the Ryzen 3950x instead of the 3700x. The 2080ti would be neat but it's too expensive.

Haha! I get a 1000€ end of year bonus! My PC upgrade will be sooner than anticipated, with better components than firstly compiled.

Using MacBooks is torture. Only morons can design these backwards keyboards and touchpads. Also dongles. I have to use one at work for a short assignment.

Working for an IT company and the network is down. Everybody use their company phones as hotspots.

@drinkingpony I'm a programmer. It's the second best without completely pulling out a leg and an arm to afford a 2080ti. DVD is essential for me and my retro game collection. A portable USB DVD drive could be nice but I have alreay an internal drive. It's also a good cup holder.

I hate it when there is a lack of subtitles for almost half a minute on a paid DVD, especially when I don't understand the spoken language (Japanese). Good thing I read the book and I can decipher some information from the context. The DVDs were "cheap" at least. If I bought a newer version on Blu Ray I'd cost me 7 times as much.

I'm configuring my new computer back and forth on several shop websites and I'm always getting easily up to 2000€. Essentially I cannot recycle most of my components. HDDs, DVD drive only. My last configuration was an AMD 3700x, 64GB DDR4-3200, 1TB m.2 SSD, NVidia 2800 super, mainboard, 800W power supply, case. I need a new case because my current has only usb2 ports at the front and I'd like to have something better. Other than that it has some serious scratches from over 14 years of use as well as an unsightly opening on the side panel when these CPU "tubes" were in fashion for directly venting the hot CPU air out. This was never used because my cooler was not shaped in the way to benefit from that.

I issued a refund and Valve sent me a RMA return label. DO THEY REALLY WANT THAT EMPTY COLA BOTTLE?!?!?!?!?
-
Almost two days and Valve didn't respond to my support ticket regarding the stolen Steam Controller.

@drinkingpony no Controller, no Cola. Only empty bottle
-
@drinkingpony I just picked it up. THERE WAS A grapeING COLA BOTTLE IN MY PACKAGE!
-
@drinkingpony I was supposed to receive mine today but the delivery person is an asshole and didn't do their job.
-
GLS is the worst packet delivery service. I was at home and they didn't bother to ring the bell and they went straight to leave a note in my mail box to pick up the packet in the middle of nowhere at a kiosk.

I see so many repair and product review videos on youtube and I wonder if someone attempted to reconstruct fingerprints from these videos. I mean that the videos are so close to the fingers that you can see almost every detail in 1080p/2160p so it could be feasible to do that.
-
I'm done. I've read about 6650 pages (average of 350 pages per book) within two weeks.

@drinkingpony RIP USB port
-
Never ever I'll buy a SanDisk USB stick again. They get so uncomfortably hot that I'm not trusting its reliability over a longer time. I bought a cheaper stick and it barely heats up sitting idle in the USB port. The SanDisk one could be used to boil water, metaphorically speaking. I have two SanDisk sticks and this sample size gives me confidence to make this judgement not to buy anything from SanDisk ever again.

@thelastgherkin The reference flew over my head.

6 books (or 12 because one book consists of two volumes) to go and I'm done with the Ranma ½ manga and then get it out of my system. No more obsession about "what happens next".

@drinkingpony Damn regional pricing!

I think it's now the time AMD swims in money and Intel in their own fear sweat.

I just read that the 3950x orders excel 16 times the available stock. (German) https://www.computerbase.de/2019-11/ryzen-9-3950x-tr-3970x-3960x-verfuegbarkeit/
Yowsa! That's a lot, even at that high price!Tuesday, 26-Nov-19 12:53:34 UTC from web
