    No argument there! I also had a 970 back when it was new. Upgraded to a 2070 and I am still on that one. The 970 was pretty great, even got two of them at one point, then found out how useless SLI was and gave it to my mother lol.

      I've been rewatching my favorite anime, "Super Dimension Fortress Macross", and I impulse bought the PS2 game on Mercari. Cost about ¥2,000, but I've been enjoying the hell out of it.

        My workflow is not as fast as before but it is so much more comfortable, definitely worth it.

            I've been using trackballs for 25 years. What do you think of the M575? I've got a fleet of old and tired M570s that will need replacement soon.

              Bought some frozen burgers, the TGI Fridays sliders. They're alright. Problem with them is I can eat the entire box of four in a sitting.

                Made a lateral upgrade from GTX 1080 to 6600XT. The performance is more or less the same but compatibility with Linux is much better for gaming. Games finally "just work" and was totally worth it for me

                I've still got a GTX-1080 in service on my "HTPC." Which...is starting to be a problem, honestly. It's getting to where that card is too old to support things, like Bazzite's HTPC system apparently involves things the GTX-1080 can't do. It's a kickass graphics card but it's also a decade old and software has moved on. And I hate that shit, computer hardware outlives itself too damn often. I've got a literal pile of perfectly working ten year old computers.

                    I was going to wait to purchase Silksong until I actually had time to play it... and then I ended up buying it on release day. I've only played a few hours but damn did I enjoy it.

                      Try running GNOME on it. It has pretty good touch support.

                      I've actually already tried Gnome, which definitely works the best with touch. It seems to lack the amount of system settings that the standard cinnamon DE has though.

                          Chicken buillon powder at the Asian Market.

                          It's nice! I like it better than the store brand I normally get.

                                I had to reconsider. My thumb joint was grouchy after a few months.

                                Edit: my clone reminds me he absolutely loves his neu-logitech-trackpad thing he uses. He likes that it's got three buttons instead of two and a dinky little rolly-nub, and he wouldn't part with his without a fight (and he's trained in pistol, c-7 in 'party mode', sword, staff, hands, and impolite words, so he'll have it even after the fall of society)

                                  Ninja DCT401 12-in-1 Double Oven on Boxing Day. Worth every penny. Rarely using the full sized oven now. Uses a lot less power due to not having to heat as much air volume.

                                    DJI Mic Mini that arrives today to pair with action camera and cycling.

                                    I probably won't get a ton of use out of it, but any time I try to capture my rides just for family to see what I'm up to, it's all just wind noise.

                                          Awesome.

                                          215 horsepower out of a street legal, featherweight 1 liter NA engine is 'normal' now I guess, but it still boggles my mind. And its low inertia! If you sent that thing back in time, engine designers' heads would explode.

                                          Totally agree. The amount of hp this bike has blows my mind. But the thing like I said is just how smooth it is in the delivery and execution. The shifts are smooth and effortless, and the throttle is just smooth. You can dial in the power you want with different settings, so you can tone it down for things like riding in the rain. It's so much different than my 01, which was just raw power and no electronic goodies other than fuel injection. I love having both, and have a ton of miles on the 01 which I am looking forward to matching with the new bike.
