*We've got 8 minutes left until we close and the phone rings for customer service.
Me: How can I help you?
Lady: I'm at the Super Walmart in (another city). If I drive straight there, will I make it before you close?
Me: We close in 8 minutes, no.
Lady: Can you guys hold the doors for me?
Me: No, we close in 8 minutes.
Lady: Well, I really need some ink.
Me: I'm sorry, but you'll have to get it tomorrow then because we close in 8 minutes.
Lady: But I'll be right over.
Me: You're at least a 35 minute drive from here ma'am.
Lady: But I'll be right there.
Me: I'm sorry but unless you get here in the next 6 minutes, you'll have to wait until tomorrow.
Lady: Fine!

Lady: I'm looking for a piece of vinyl to go under a desk.
Me: A chair mat?
Lady: No, it's vinyl and goes under the desk.
Me: Is it to protect your carpet from your chair?
Lady: Yes.
Me: A chair mat.
Lady: No, it's not that.
Me: Ok, I think I know what you're looking for.
*I then walk her over to the chair mats.
Me: Is this what you're looking for?
Lady: Yes! That's exactly it. What are they called?
Me: Chair mats.
Lady: Oh...

    It's honestly a good looking graphics card

    Good night

    @Xdqwerty Have qwertyuiop dreams
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    oh my fucking god I just had a 3d print fail, while printing the most expensive filament I've ever printed
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    It's PLA filament from ProtoPasta with copper metal particulate mixed into the plastic blend. It's $100/kg, and my failed print is 149g of it. :cry:

    supprised it took THIS LONG for intel to start making dGPU's

    i wonder who'll wini the price war now with intel in the fray
  • chrisrlink @ chrisrlink:
    then again they always say "Three's a crowd"
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @chrisrlink, does anyone really care though? Intel has never really been known for graphics performance, aside from the amazing transcode capabilities of Intel Quicksync. I can't see PC gamers for example moving over to Intel any time remotely soon since Intel hasn't established a position yet in the higher end gaming GPU market
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    More options is never a bad thing, of course. I just don't think it's going to cause any meaningful disruption to the stranglehold that Nvidia and AMD have
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    At least not for quite a few years
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Sicklyboy They do look like really good cards though. They have insane value (Not A-series value but still more than the 7600)

    @Sicklyboy I hope the b580 b570 are good so that gpu manufacturers will lower the markup

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Admittedly I haven't seen any specs/reviews yet so I'm not sure how any of it stacks up
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Guess I'll have to watch the Gamers Nexus video later! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1fEpWy9B0c
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Sicklyboy it hasn't released yet so we don't have review but here are intel provided benchmarks:

    The data is a little bit weird. I would take this with a grain of salt that you could choke on

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I thought that said 10x (10 TIMES) faster than a 4060 lmaoooo
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I was like yeah, OK.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm definitely interested to see how that pans out. Like I said, more options is never a bad thing. I mean, bad for intel maybe if it totally flops. But for real, hopefully it works well and there's more competition in the gaming GPU space.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @Sicklyboy The first one says %36 faster than the 4060 but I think the second one is right since the first one I screenshotted from a yt video

  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Anyways, I'm excited for dec 12 when it launches so I can see the benchmarks and reviews

    I stand by 3xxx series lasting a few more good years overpaying on gpus is dumb

  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @K3Nv2 Apparently the battlemage gpus are going to be really good value
