why the 2 week delay instead of the normal 1 week?

Issues caused a later Floatplane upload on pt. 1, wanted to keep it on our Saturday Primetime spot.

this really should have been $133.7 instead....

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

 

The original LAN PC build log! (Old, dead and replaced by The Toaster Project & 5.0)

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016

I'm surprised this doesn't have more comments yet.

 

Remember, if you've seen it or future ones on floatplane, no giving spoilers, we will take it seriously.

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.

Ramen noodles guys... 

Free hot water from some cofee place / hot tea place

Some plastic cups or something from anything for 1$ store place

 

Hitchhiking  would be free but unreliable... maybe you could cheat by going to your neighbors and ask to borrow a bike for a day. Wouldn't be using your personality to get better deals, just being a good neighbor.

lol it makes sense they moved their base of operations to vancouver, as Langley is too far away making travel a nightmare both in terms of time and expenses.  (you can figure out where their starting location is if you are observant enough) However, ironic that Langley to Pitt Meadows is actually shorter distance. Linus forgetting day pass exist is also funny because then they wouldn't have to buy another ticket at the skytrain station.  (tip: Cash fare at buses are not accepted on skytrain) God damn it, Linus, don't eat on a bus!!. 

 

and lol Jay and Luke just sitting at a coffee place and not ordering anything.

Fast noodles and bread can literally last you a lot longer than those food you bought... 

But it is really un healthy...

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.

I remember Linus or someone mentioning it for season 5 and nothing's changed, still falls under "don't be a dick"

Next one that's like this, you guys need to go for pop tarts 200+ calories per pastry, pretty low prices for even a 32 pack, and they don't spoil. They're like Lembas bread.

https://www.amazon.com/Pop-Tarts-Frosted-Brown-Sugar-Cinnamon/dp/B00U45YWNW/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1508035218&sr=8-4&keywords=Pop+Tart

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...
 

Spoiler

 

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?
