sounds pretty demented to me LOL.  How?

Add 3/4 cup chunky dead baby to an extra large glass shaker along with 16 ounces of coca cola. Shake vigorously for 30 seconds.  Sweeten to taste, drop an olive and one of those small party favor Hawaiian punch like umbrellas in it for aesthetics, and enjoy

I'm pretty sure you are just resentful, so you are siding with him because you can never beat me in benchmarking. 

 

 

 

 

Sounds like either a challenge or this thread has morphed into a ban thread (and everyone who's anyone knows there can only be ONE ban thread per forum). Just in case though, bant.

Mr. Slow pook doesn't have an answer for this. Heck, I think I managed to smoke his best single core result as well - with my little six core 9600KF.

Your machine might be dope, but it's gonna go up in smoke. lol

I thought you said nifty for a second there... I was like: is Mr. Slow Pook actually agreeing storm-chaser? I don't think so! 

 

Not sure if this goes right over your head, or what the deal is, but the entire idea here is twins. The boat pic disqualifies you from the competition...

LOL you don't have to get all defensive that an 8 year old workstation smokes your "dope" alpha PC. Don't be a sore loser and accept defeat now and stop acting like a small child because I beat you yet again. LMAO 

 

I did say your rig would go up in smoke, didn't I? 

 

more like steam rolled 

 

And this is on the way, for real.

so the cpu's I got from china work so far but the 965be needed to have a few pins straightened out before it could gently be messaged into the socket.   It's still not just dropping right it.  I might play with it a little more later but want to send a msg to the seller to see what he has to say.  Could of happened in customs IDK but it had one of those Purple China circle stamps on it that came right off with alcohol.

 

I had to use the new to me CHV to see if they were any good because the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 has a F2 bios and does not seem to want to post with the older Ph II's

Every time Performance PCs puts random cool stuff on their eBay store I throw out random low offers and they accept it... I kinda wish they wouldn't because I don't need more watercooling gear 

 

I also just bought a set of Klipsch R-41SA Atmos speakers... I haven't even upgraded my receiver to one with Atmos yet

Here's something you don't see everyday on a tech site.

 

 

My girlfriend wants me to fix the straps on her "boulder holders" so she doesn't have to keep adjusting them, and since she says I can fix anything, I now own a sewing machine.

My girlfriend wants me to fix the straps on her "boulder holders" so she doesn't have to keep adjusting them, and since she says I can fix anything, I now own a sewing machine.

Now the real trick is getting her to take an interest in learning how to use it and learn how to do other Home ec class type of things so you don't have to.   I bought a Kenmore sewing machine very similar to that one a couple years back at a garage sale for like $5.00 and it works just fine.  I've used it to sew some broken trailer strap material with a couple of loops on the ends for hauling stuff around with one of my FEL Garden tractors.

 

I received this today.  

 

 

 

And should get a couple of these by tomorrow or the next day.

Definitely glad I had a quasi serviceable smart phone the past few weeks. Time to trade it in though and upgrade;  ordered a smart watch for additional monitoring purposes to go along with it.

 

 

Samsung even gave me a military discount (I'm registered with Id.Me).

Nice, will be interested in how you think the foldable phone is.

 

As for me, still rocking my Gear S3 smartwatch I got back in 2018. I replaced the battery once 2 years ago and it was like new again. But now other pieces are starting to go out.

I'll let you know; maybe I'll do a review of the phone/watch combo.
