You haven’t been able to do that consistently for the last 5 years, if ever. We have had various stock shortages on PC hardware on and off for the last decade, go back and watch some tech videos when we had 10 series shortages. Two weeks of discord alert will get you a card.

If you want to buy any product you need to convert your currency into something the vendor will accept, if I’m in the US I can’t go spending those Canadian Rubbles or European pesos.

You can, you shouldn’t. You could buy a Tesla if you wanted, you also shouldn’t. You can buy a pizza, you also shouldn’t do that. Don’t pay for goods with volatile currencies, if you need money for things sell the asset into something stable and use that. 

Honestly Crypto demand as a factor is overblown, demand is high and production capacity is limited. Even before Crypto started taking off it was hard to get hold of cards and the pandemic on it’s own massively increased demand simply by having more people at home, spending less and so having money to burn on PC…

You just described traded markets that have worked that way for hundreds of years. They have worked that way for hundreds of years because the market ALWAYS goes up sooner or later.

That isn’t really how they work, most currencies aren’t backed anymore and by your logic none of those should work either.

That’s your fault then, you can get cards with persistence and effort. It took me two weeks of trying to get a 3090, that 3090 in another month will have paid the difference between it and the 3080 I had budgeted for and may even completely recoup it’s value in another 4 months!

That’s great, here’s hoping for some more from Markos Kloos, I would dig a sequel for either of the stories. After seeing Lucky 13 I went out and read the books and was hooked, would love it if Netflix would pick it up as an animated series on its own since they don’t seem to be doing anything with Old Mans War.

The video quality is bad, but his trigger discipline looks fine. I’m not going to judge someone else’s training levels and you shouldn’t either.

You are aware the most common cause of death in humans is water. Either the lack of it, too much of it, or even more prominently every day from water borne disease. Hence why in developed countries we spend huge sums of money processing our water.

If the weapon isn’t in your hand you aren’t likely to be able to use it well, draw from conceal, aim and shoot is a whole order of magnitude harder than from the ready aim and shoot.

I don’t think he dismissed it because he can’t handle the truth, it’s because it’s patently ridiculous. NATO is a defensive alliance that has nothing to do with the political structure of it’s members. If you go down that hole the US is in a heap of trouble as all those pesky monarchies for the most parts have much…

More than that, but for an Apex predator numbers in the thousands on a large land mass is pretty reasonable especially if it is large. The necessary biomass to maintain a population puts a fairly tight control on them, and they were likely perfectly happy eating their own species as well.

But why would you? It’s over a million tonnes of water stored on the coast in thousands upon thousands of containers and in lagoons, it would cost a huge amount of money to do either of those options.

It is a mix of groundwater and seawater that’s been sitting in stagnant containment for years. While you could drink it processing it isn’t going to be worth it in a country with plenty of freshwater access.

Mostly because people aren’t rational, I have dealt with dozens of people that have been furious over any kind of radiation or release from a nuclear facility no matter how objectively safe it is. It doesn’t matter how many times you point out the science or the preponderance of evidence won’t accept it, even if you…

I did see that, however the levels are minuscule and the effects of those isotopes aren’t really relevant, there is a reason tritium is what’s mentioned.

It would be easier to list the things you can’t put butter on. I know as someone that qualifies for the European label we are butter heavy, but I can’t really think of anything that doesn’t go with butter and half the staple foods in a western diet can be made with butter as the main source of fat.

People don’t automatically butter sandwiches? When did that stop being a thing? 

It’s worth bearing in mind this water is actually totally human safe, barring salinity and natural contaminants you could drink this water for the rest of your life and come to no harm. You could concentrate all the contaminants in it by 1000s of times and it would still be drinkable.
