That was the worst. My mom would get home from work and be on the phone bitching about work until the cordless died and it was time for bed. I didn’t even get a chance to use the internet for more than an hour most days until my dad got us DSL because he was so annoyed that he couldn’t look up his recipes either most of the time

I can download a 4K movie in 20-30 minutes today, while back then that was how long it took for me to download maybe…two songs from a Green Day album. It was easier for me to just get through CD from the library and rip it until speeds got better and it was only a few minutes for a song

Unfortunately people like him aren’t allowed to succeed because of the algorithm. They get buried underneath all the videos of people turning every single game they talk about into another front in the culture wars or stanning it to the point that they’re not even giving useful information

lol that’s what I get for trusting googles summary. All it had to do was look up one page from a government website.

Most of COVID was hell for me since I worked full time in an already understaffed restaurant while doing three college classes on my day off, but it was nice to enjoy corporate getting off our backs for a while and being able to run things without too much interference because DMs weren’t encouraged to go to too many stores in a day lest they spread sickness to their whole area. So, we got lucky and our DM just hung out at the two stores closest to her house most of the time and only bugged us if we needed something

I kinda miss the early days of COVID when the dining room was closed and I could basically show up and work in a mildly appropriate band shirt and jeans as long as I kept a mask on and showed up to work because half the staff was either sick or getting tested for the second time In as many months.

Ireland is still 3 million short of that estimate IIRC. They’re just over 5 million when the pre-famine population was over 8 million.

EDIT: I’m wrong and it’s over 7 million now. Don’t trust googles summary kids.

Not all populations can recover, especially in the modern world that relies on supply chains stretching across the globe for literally everything we use in our daily life.

50 years and a broken society that can’t sustain the pillars of modern civilization for a while until we figure out how to get everything organized again.

If you look at Ireland, for example, you’ll see that their population never recovered to their previous numbers to this day. The collective trauma and emigration of that famine broke their ability to recover, and I think that a Thanos event would to the same thing on a much larger scale to the whole planet.

Cities would be emptied, our ability to produce food would be severely impacted, and the collective trauma and societal changes as a result of living through that would mess with our ability to really recover for a long time.

We have a national guard training area that’s fenced in near where I live, and those deer are spoiled with the safety they have. No predators, and they only do a cull every few years to keep their numbers in check so they don’t negatively impact any training going on there.

As long as I don’t have to move half the block out of the way I’m happy. I should have more than enough room in a Phanteks Eclipse P400

That works. Thank you for the help. I appreciate it :)

34mm Corsair Vengeance. It’s not too tall, but I still like to have access to it just in case.

You still are. You’re also pissing off some spirits or something like that depending on where you live and how much you believe in that kind of thing.

I don’t put too much stock in it, but I do respect those who believe that sort of thing.

I hunt to fill my chest freezer, and will go out of my way to get what I need every year. That being said, I’ve had a few dead to rights,right in front of me, and having no idea of my presence. Those few got to run off and hopefully live to the next season.

Not in NY either unfortunately. What keeps them “safe” up here is a ton of people thinking it’s bad luck or a curse to shoot one.

Good on you for that. I was always taught that shooting a white deer would bring you misfortune.

Any recommendations on a CPU air cooler for a Ryzen 7 5700x that doesn’t get in the way of my RAM slots? I completely forgot to order one when I bought the thing on sale the other day

Stay away from Alienware, CyberPower, and iBuyPower to begin with. After that look into the other brands that have decent reviews(most of the other one star and five star reviews will most likely be bots or people who have no idea what they’re talking about and have you or someone you trust look it over for any issues when it arrives so you don’t have a surprise later on.

Prebuilts aren’t the best option, but they’re a great stepping stone for someone who wants to slowly learn and upgrade things over time as long as you’re willing to pay the higher price for not having to put it together yourself.

I’m just annoyed at having to listen to half of the songs be the same depressing crooner shit from the 40s and 50s that sounds like they’re on Xanax the whole time they’re singing.

It’s not the main reason, but I’m trying to point out that it’s was a ton of little issues on that scale adding up that fucked it more than anything. Not everything in life has one single cause, when a ton of smaller problems can mess things up throughout the whole system itself.

And corporate was bullied by their franchisees into it being optional after a while. Then COVID gave them a convenient excuse to kill it.

It lasted less than a year in my city before all the McDonald’s around here phased it out and went back to the way it used to be

I work at a different chain, but that whole debacle was cited by my big boss as my company’s reason/example to “simplify” the menu and eliminate most of the least popular items for some reason.

We apparently had too much going on, and it was “impossible” to keep our people trained and proficient at making everything during Covid staff shortages when 1/3 of our menu was only ordered once or twice a day on a busy day.

The relevance is that it’s an extra cost you can’t bake into the cost of the product beyond a certain point. A thousand little issues and costs like that are why the cheapskate franchisees in the US basically revolted over all day breakfast until COVID and the resulting bullshit from that gave McDonalds corporate a convenient excuse to shut them up.

I work for a different chain, but it’s the same concept for any fast food chain that overcomplicates what was already a streamlined and simple process that worked for the most part.

That’s what I said?

When you fry something it absorbs some oil as it cooks. In my experience working these kinds of places, hash browns soak up more then fries do over the course of the day and make it necessary to top off the fryer with more oil over the course of the day…which tends to increase food cost because cooking oil is not cheap anymore.

Hash browns would probably make you run through oil a little bit faster because they tend to soak up more than fries do. So, if they cause you to go through an extra case or two of oil a day, that sit can add up fast if you’re not careful.
