Ah sorry, you're right about availability being quite poor, my mistake. i only looked at the first result off amazon...

I don't know. For an extra 2-3k you can get a brand new one (zotac has a 2+3 year warranty iirc) You also avoid the risk of getting a dead or problematic gpu. I remember having to make multiple trips to the service centre for an RMA. To me it's not worth the potential hassle.

Yes, fake gpu's are a thing. I remember back during nvidia 10xx series you could find very cheap 1080ti's on alibaba. It turned out they were super old geforce mx400s with the coolers swapped. 3070 for 17.5k seems like a scam. If it's too good to be true then it usually is. Amazon has the 3070...

Would be really funny if cigarettes replace the dollar as the reserve currency.

Reminds me of a cornetto.

Dunno about the Akinci but I'm not impressed with the TB2. It's success has only been in uncontested airspace. Once the jammers and air-defences caught up with ground forces, TB2s started dropping like flies. according to oryx at least 25 have been confirmed lost...

The "othering" of the LGBTQ+ community is very real. Just trying to get acknowledgement of this alone is a mission. Whats wrong with making them feel welcome? It doesn't cost anything.

Love this movie! "I'm a peacock, you gotta let me fly!" I'd suggest "Super Troopers" - another lesser known comedy that I really like. skip the sequel though.

Might I suggest Galaxy Quest? While not exactly a christmas movie, it's still in the adventure comedy genre and quite funny.

I just use whatever my local store has. I found them to be more effective than coils and easier on the senses.

2 things that work for me: 1) Mosquito nets on all the windows (don't forget the openings for exhaust fans in the kitchen/bathroom) 2) citronella or citronella incense sticks are pretty effective.

The personnel could be there for training purposes, or the deployment is temporary.
