I've started watching linus tech tips and it looks so easy to build a super high-end computer. I need a job and 1500 dollars. My abortion of a pc has served me well and was a great learning experience but i've pretty much maxed out what I can do with how limited it is.
[QUOTE=gman003-main;48123242]$5.53 On Sale Save $4.30 [B](Reg. $9.83)[/B][/QUOTE] on sale is just marketing gibberish to make it sound cheaper than it is. 5.53 is the regular price in store. every product on the website says on sale

So blocking someone on twitter does jack shit nothing because they can still use third party stuff to view your tweets and even respond to them. You don't get the notifications but they still see and can reply to your tweets. The only way to stop this third party thing is to lock your account. Aka the twitter blocking function is basically useless unless you lock your account and protect your tweets.

Content! Today I went to best buy to switch out radios from an old car to a new car because they were half the price of the only other play that would switch out radios for me. The whole procedure took 2 hours total (including driving back to get the other car). This best buy was in a mall that was really popular 40 years ago but pretty much dead today and only really had clothing stores, a few other boring, small stores, and the best buy so I had to figure out how to pass the time in an electronic store with a bunch of mainstream, mediocre, or mediocre and mainstream electronics. First person I meet is that person who you swear you know but you haven't actually met before. He's guy 1. Have him try to help me find a laptop for school. I already have all the specific specs I want, a laptop with an i7 5700hq and either a gtx 965m or 970m. It was all a matter of filtering to those specs. Here comes the first problem, on the website or in store, the most information you'll get from anything is that it's an i7 and if you're lucky, which generation it is. So filtering is a little hard at this point since you can only filter by i7, not the generation let alone product model. Here's where I really hit a rut. On the website, there was absolutely no filter for graphics card, none. So we go to different manufacturers websites and filter from there because I don't want to use newegg in bestbuy. I do this until I get a call saying that the radio's out and they put the old one in so I take 25 mintues doing blah blah swapping cars and spend another 40 minutes wasting time in the store. For the second 40 minute run of passing the time in best buy, I look through their not bad selection of televisions, acutely judging them for their smart functionality and frame interpolation. Here I meet guy #2 which I strike up a conversation with which eventually leads to television refresh rates because we're in the television section. He's telling me that he has a television that accepts an input of 240hz. Trying to not make the bestbuy employee stereotype a little less true, I explain to him that his television accepts a maximum input of 60hz and interpolates the frames to 240hz. He then tells me that it's his job to keep up on this stuff and that he only goes to official sites like manufacturer websites to research. At this point I'm too disgusted to talk to him so I go to another guy who's by the overpriced hdmi cables. The first thing I mention is displayport and the first thing he says is something about apple. I'm trying to not make an annoyed face because this is the forth person who I've talked about displayport at bestbuy and the first thing they mention is apple and I have no fucking idea why. Anyways, the conversation eventually leads to him complaining about their overpriced hdmi cables and I get a call that my car's done. At least the new car had some bass. Anyways, there's your content sipwicket. why is bestbuy so bad and how is it the only computer store in my city

Plenty of TVs that list 240Hz mean 240 interlaced refresh. Yet another stupid marketing thing. (240 interlaced is better than 120 progressive), but it's not "240". Either way, yeah, they only accept up to 60Hz input most of the time.

Well for those looking for a solution to cool their hot rooms with lots of equipment, I found none unfortunately. After a while I got sick of this heat and decided to go with a friend. Left the AC running with auto-shutoff timer set to 5 hours in case I won't return, on low fan speed. The latter because someone on FP told me the cold can get blown off the evaporator too fast. Left around 8 PM, and returned at 12:15 AM with the room cooled down to 27c compared to 30. At this point I think it would be a better solution to get a split air conditioner, and combine it with my ceiling fan on low speed.
