The Lounge 0001 [From the Beginning]

I had that issue with my 2nd monitor (crappy Samsung TN, formerly used as main, now in use for ~7 years total) with the taskbar in Windows and the info? bar from browser and windows. But I haven’t noticed those 2 lines for a while now which is weird.

Hello all
-__- at work again
But at least i got paid today so that’s nice?
Probably should have slept more but then again I have a 24 oz monster now so ill be awake anyway so meh
Whats everyone else up to?

Holy crap bitcoin is at $7000 and etheruem is all the way down to $400
Not bad, now GPUs shoukd really start showing up.
And the farther it falls the better.

These enter keys tho

Wood box was a fail as a bookshelf. Made the rookie mistake and didn’t check the inner measurements, so now the books are too tall to fit.
But it’s also very rough. Looks like nobody bothered sanding it -> lots of tiny splinters.

Oh hey look, a Fractal Josh appears.

I dont know what that means but ok

Holy Techtuber trifecta of cringeyness?

Uhh. Not really lol this tech talk they are much more like actual people; considering its a live non scripted thing it makes sense so
Its really the only way I can handle barnecules and jayztwocents… Fractal Josh I don’t really know about what he does beyond fractal design so meh

No idea how I endured them for so long. Jay rubs the wrong way with his annoying ego. Barnacules got way too inconsistent with his content until I just stopped bothering. And Josh…dunno, he’s the “I wear suits, drive expensive rentals, and am buddies with all the techtubers which is a totally cool thing as rep from a PC tech company” kinda guy.

He ( Fractal Josh) is the vice president of marketing of Fractal Design for North America so I mean… It kindof makes sense why he drives nice cars and etc lol

I’m going to find a warframe clan that fits my hours I play and is active after work.

Why? Does his position force him to do any of that?

Because he has the money so why not lol?
It would appear that the guy is into cars so

So he rents them with his own money and doesn’t write them off as business expenses?

I would guess so? Or does partially anyway. Then again, renting expensive cars and flying is better than buying an expensive car if you travel a lot so thats also a factor.

Does it have to be an expensive car, though?

Generally rental cars dont cost that much more for expensive or meh cars, as the “nice” cars are as expensive as expensive cars lol.
Like a lot of sedans are $20-40K and the sportsy Porsche starts at $30k iirc so… That translates to rentals being more or less the same unless its a really expensive car or a limo/special car

Still don’t like his persona -_- acting like some rich ass showing off to lowlife tech peasants, breaking into homes and eating their chips n shit…
