You know how the ultra-sensitive Left has been after schools, sports teams and companies with so called 'offensive' names and pushed to change them?
Also remember when we had IDE disk drives, CDROMs, etc. and we used the terms Master drive and Slave drive (and also other devices). Recently that was deemed offensive. So how about MasterCard, isn't that offensive? Is Visa it's slave now? I haven't heard of anyone complaining about Mastercard. Too big to change?

* Respectful tip of the hat to Ex-Ex. * No need for a polka track, SMH.

Yesterday I visited the "downtown" section of the major suburb to my west. In the '70s and '80s, the area developed into quite the party animal/club district. There were apartment complexes ("singles apartments" they were called then) within walking distance of singles bars and music venues that often hosted bikini and wet T-shirt contests. If I'd lived there in the '70s, my God, I'd have been drunk 3/4 of the time.
That aspect has declined tremendously since that time. Still a business park of a kind, with restaurants and businesses, but it no longer seems like a collection of dives. (Gotta say, though, I miss the bikini contests!) Posted by: Wolfus Aurelius at March 20, 2022 04:51 AM (c6xtn) 60

He never made a secret of his law degree. But he has been the target of some of the evil Leftist SWATTING team in the past. He has good reason to be careful.

---- I'm guessing Pixy meant 2022, but she's got graphics cards on the brain. Heh. My 1660 Ti (now Super, same card, they replaced the Ti with the Super) still costs about $200 more than I bought it for when it just came out. I'm good: I game at 1080p, so it handles pretty much everything at extreme settings. Everything except Red Dead Redemption 2. Thanks again for the content, Pixy!

On the gaming PC pre-built front, something that Pixy might not be all that familiar with is if you have a Microcenter within distance of you. Go to their website and check out their PCs. I almost bought one of their in store Power PC store brands. But instead I went there and they actually had 3070 TIs in stock, so I went that way and bought new guts for my case. Their available PCs do seem pretty decent.
