    The Bourbon (and other whiskeys) Thread

    This baby has been sitting on my shelf unopened for well over a year now. The reason I haven't cracked it open is because my brother sent it to me for xmas 21' and I made a vow that I won't until the next time I see him in person. It's a 1.5l bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch. I've never had...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    I'm pretty sure it's not covid because I've tested negative for it 3 or 4 times now, but several weeks ago I came down with what I thought was a cold and it's still with me, so I think it's actually RSV. It started off with a sore throat, then muted smells and taste, then a ton of coughing and...

    AMD Radeon 6000 - Big Navi

    That's really odd. I picked up God Of War during the Steam sale and at high (not ultra) settings you could hear the fans on my 5700XT go up to max pretty quickly. But after I updated to the latest drivers they barely have to put any work in, and it's not FSR helping out, I checked my settings...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    My sister and her brood have all recovered, so far no one shows any lingering symptoms. As always I'm still wearing masks everywhere I go, but I am legit shocked at how few people I see out there are doing the same. Yeah, it's a pain in the ass to keep doing it, especially after three years of...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    Little update, sister is still positive and still feels like shit but she's "ok", she lost her sense of taste and smell but they have since come back. BIL is still positive as well but he had fewer effects from it, I think my nephew is in the clear. They've actually run out of covid tests so we...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    While Sister Bass has made it out unscathed from many close calls these past 3 years, she finally ran out of luck. My nephew brought it home to their house (everyone in their house has had 4 covid shots) and promptly gave it to his father. His father/my BIL went in to see him while quarantined...

    The 5-year Cycle - PC Build Winter 2022

    When I was speccing out 5150 III I thought about going with an AIO, but knowing that it will lose fluid over time and the pump will eventually die plus the risk of it developing a leak was too much for my paranoid mind, that's why I went with a Noctua. Are you going to try using liquid metal or...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    I took Mama Bass to get her booster (4th shot overall) yesterday, Sister Bass got hers awhile ago, and I'll be getting mine tomorrow. I made it out of Tennessee safely so my win streak continues.

    5150 III - Time for a new computer

    Thermal compound application is like fried chicken, there's a ton of different recipes and ways to go about making it, but no one can definitively say theirs is the "correct" way. I say so long as you use something of good quality and don't put it on too thick it won't really matter if you...

    5150 III - Time for a new computer

    I know I'm bumping a 2+ year old thread here, but I actually have something noteworthy to add! In August I went on a pseudo vacation down to Tennessee and because doing my job is possible from a smart phone it's akin to trying to tie your shoelaces while looking through your asshole, so 5150...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    I'm in Tennessee for something kind of resembling a vacation, and people I was set to meet are testing positive, some are in the hospital from it. I don't know if they were vaccinated or not. Another uncle of mine, who got his shots, caught it as well. Sister Bass probably has it as she has the...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    https://twitter.com/Punisher_Bass/status/1527465419262644228 My money is we're going to see mandates reinstated within a month here in IL, meanwhile the GOP in Missouri will probably start suing any store that dares to implement one.

    5150 III - Time for a new computer

    Sorry to bump a thread that hasn't been touched in well over a year, but there's a reason for it. I've recently decided to try my hand at some video editing, nothing heavy duty, just dashcam footage and capturing old family VHS tapes, so I figured a RAM upgrade would be a smart idea. That plus...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    Call me the cynical asshole, but I'm just waiting to hear that the next variant is way worse and the vaccinations will be worthless/won't protect you as much as they did against the older versions. Plan for rain and hope for sunshine is what I'm saying.

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    Since I last checked in, I was finally able to get my mom her booster shot around 3 weeks ago, even though she was many months past due for it. I wanted to get it done around Thanksgiving, but as I mentioned several pages back, my back exploded and left me bedridden for over 6 weeks. And it...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    Mother fucker has filed two batches of lawsuits because schools dare try to keep both adults and kids safer. Missouri, as fucked sideways as that state is, deserves better than this asshole...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    Surprise mother fuckers! I ain't dead yet! Since Thanksgiving I've been stuck at home in bed because of the worst sciatica pain I've ever had, so I've only been out of the house a few times when I had to do something critical like banking. My sister has been coming over to bring groceries and...

    Yup, that's the mother fucking "Show Me State" right there for you. Parson is an anal fissure that's become septic. Also, omicron is officially in town...

    Covid 19 CRISIS

    I went to get a booster today and I'm not feeling great, my arm hurts, I've had a headache since I got jabbed, and I've had to spend quite a bit of time on the toilet. I'm pretty sure this is from the crazy amount of stress I've had to deal with recently along with not getting much rest and not...
