That's pretty much it, exactly. I'm a physical train wreck whose eyes also aren't in the best of shape. A 4K120(+) monitor wouldn't necessarily do me a whole lotta good; and owning the card itself would likely amount to little more than epeen. 

 

 

...well, not quite. But you might be surprised at the positive spin I have at the moment on staying alive  

 

I'm a lowlander realist though; and who knows, maybe they'll even write songs about me long after I'm gone 

 

...or at least maybe share them?

 

 

 

Won't write songs of you after you are gone, but I would fold on your 4090 on solar power for the remainder of my life (Kinda like Greg does for Hertz).

'grats on the 4090 - it can do so much more than epeen. As to eye sight and 4K120 monitor, that's precisely the point. If you get a big (say 42, 48 or larger) OLED, you'll have a lot more options for setting it up in a way that works better for your specific visual needs. That said, putting a new CPU, mobo, RAM, graphics card and monitor together and tuning it might best be deferred for when you feel a bit better.

How much of that is meat? Me, I gave it up for graphic cards.

[N2 Gaming]

I did not do the math but probably close to half.  I'll do the math really quick while I'm posting this.  Got a 19 lbs turkey for free for spending so much.  I could have had 2x free turkeys if I split the bill up.  Meh Now I have 3 turkeys.

 

$14.40 Albacore Tuna in cans

$2.28 Skip Jack Wild Caught one can to try out never seen it before.

$15.44 Roast beef for making a stew

$3.98 Beef Kielbasa

$12.20 boneless pork chops

$12.65 boneless pork chops

$11.75 boneless pork chops

$12.90 boneless pork chops

$12.30 boneless Ckn breasts

$11.98 boneless Ckn breasts

$11.61 boneless Ckn breasts

$7.92 ground beef

$5.46 Eggs   they must be free range chickens that laid the eggs or something like that  That's crazy for eggs.  I was in a hurry and the place was packed like a superbowl, people were sick all around me coughing "yuck" and I had to get mom back to Kaiser for a second appointment for vision care.

 

Any way let me add all that up really quick now.  $134.84

 

Now I get to take a brake before vacuum sealing all the meet and putting it away in deep freezer.

Where do you live where ground beef is $8? I hope that's more than a pound.

look at the pic I just added above the item it shows the quantity.  single 1lb packs were cheaper than a whole 5lb pack.  the 5lb pack was $11.xx while these were less than $2.00 per lb so 5x 2 + $10 math was better for the single one pound packs.

 

Sorry you ninja posted before I could edit and add the pic from my phone after typing this up on my PC lol

So I purchased an FX-6300 a little while ago when I was having an issue getting Ph ii cpu's to post in the GA-990FXA-UD3 and today I received a package way too big to be a cpu.  Low and behold I received a used ASUS M5A78L-M Plus/USB3 Motherboard  I'm sure the person that bought this mobo will be quite perturbed when he receives the cpu ...  OMG EBAY has been about 50/50 hit or miss lately but prices are good

I was more amazed that it was $7.92. Can get a pound here for $5.99 still.

I figured $1.98/lbs was not a bad deal.

As long as it's not Dog (or Fish made to look like Dog ).

 

Spoiler

 

 

 

As for the price of beef locally, I think one of my neighbor's Cows  just went missing.

 

Wasn't a milk cow though, so there's that.

Oh so its more than a pound. OK, this is what I missed.

It would appear you are only getting 27% as actual beef. Might want to check the fat fillers.

[N2 Gaming]

@Avacado pics you be the judge

Seems backwards to label the fat percentage on the receipt.

 

You are a braver man than I, I wouldn't buy ground beef if wasn't at least 92% lean. Gotta stave off that arterial plaque as long as I can.

but arterial plaque is delicious
