I can't even imagine winning one BILLION dollars from a lottery ticket. Must be nice..

[LordoftheRings]

I'd say so too; must be real swell.

The tops for the 2 sets of scrubs work gave me don't fit, going to exchange them for a bigger size tomorrow. At least I have the tops from the scrubs I got from CNMCC, took off the student logos and now I can wear them to work. Tomorrow will be a lot closer to a standard work shift for me, not sure how I feel about a 7 AM start time lol.

thinking about which cpu cooler i want to buy. my current one is making some noise (the fan) and i'm afraid it's about to go. so i've been looking at new coolers trying to decide which one i want.

Feeling like it is a slow time of the year for physical media. Watch pile is the lowest it's been in a long time. Under 10. No sales probably until March...Sigh

What have you narrowed down to? What's your budget and are you favoring looks, performance, or noise? Can you just clean/replace the fan?

I went overkill and got a Scythe Ninja 5 for my 3600 CPU, then later upgraded the CPU to a 5600X. Neither CPU needs that much cooling. Looks-wise, I don't care how my computer looks and there's no glass display panel, so a giant hunk of metal covering my motherboard is no concern.

The reason I never ordered a PS4 before, (can't believe it came out 8 years ago), is because I had decided to put most of my money towards traveling back in 2013.

Anyway, so just browsing and trying to come up with a little list.

I am a HUGE fan of The Hitman series on PS4, it's just SO much fun! Also, as you said GTA 5 is fantastic and might I also suggest the Tomb Raider series, the Uncharted Series, The Batman series and Red Dead Redemption II.

Wondering why Amazon is so weird about release day delivery on Blu-rays now. Video games and books are always available for release day delivery but not Blu-ray/DVDs anymore. I've noticed that if you check 2-3 weeks before release then you'll be able to get it. Then it goes away right before the release day. It's like playing a game to see when I'm able to get it.

I think they want you to pay extra for release day streaming. They don't really have any major competitors who have release day delivery anymore, whereas with video games they have to compete against Wal-Mart, GameStop, Best Buy (maybe) and PSN/MS Store.

i currently have the COOLER MASTER V8. i've been looking at the COOLER MASTER HYPER 212, though. it's $109 on newegg, but only $71 on amazon.

i like that the fans are external instead of internal (like my current one). it makes them way easier to clean and lubricate (if needed).

i have to use eye drops as i have dry eyes. it's especially bad on really dry days (like during the winter or in the summer if it doesn't rain for a while). it's a pain in the ass, especially if it hits while i'm driving. i keep eye drops at home and in my truck.

I'm not familiar with that particular CM Hyper 212, though the base 212 was very popular as a cheap $20 cooler 10 years or so ago.

Here's a list I like to refer to: https://linustechtips.com/topic/8917...nce-tier-list/

It's certainly not authoritative. The focus is on performance, not looks or noise. Personally, I think unless you really like the look of the red CM Hyper 212, if you're willing to spend $71, then you'll get better performance from a bequiet Dark Rock or a Scythe Fuma 2. Both of them are at that price point frequently and have the external fans you're looking for, though one of the Fuma 2's is in the middle. The Ninja I have has both fans on the outside of the cooler but like I said, it's huge.

Of course, if you're willing to stretch that budget to around $100, then nobody ever felt bad about buying a Noctua NH-D15 which is the top of the line.

I've never had to clean a CPU fan but it certainly depends on your environment. Do you have dust filters in your case?

I want to frame a few 16x21 pictures but frames close to that size (16x21, 16x22, 17x21, 17x22) are hard to find under $40.

You may have to look more broadly, like outside the US. Buddy of mine got hitched to a nice Polish girl - they're still together after 10 years and have a kid. He tells me Polish women are nothing like US women. US women are obsessed with beauty and flaunt it to their advantage, which doesn't bode well for dudes (especially insecure ones). He says Polish women are not money-hungry and yearn for a family life, unlike US women who are just looking for brief adventurous flings. I tend to agree with that assessment. Personally, I'd rather be alone that get mired in a stressful relationship with someone with wandering eyes and thoughts.

Just to be clear, I wasn't suggesting YOU are insecure

Apply for a passport and take a trip or two, when COVID is over, of course. There's a whole world out there
