Thank god for eggs, at least.

I'm starting to understand the peasants living off them and potatoes. Those things sustain you

There is actually only one necessary human vitamin that potatoes lack in, which you can usually find in milk.

You can live off mashed potatoes, basically, is what I'm saying.

[Mattias]

But could you even call that living?

Excuse you, mashed potatoes are *chefs kiss*

But yes, I'm not enjoying the nosedive my finances decided to do this year in particular.

Keeping my eye on a Dell prebuilt at my local Costco. Currently at 1k, which is fine if someone needs a new computer, but, if it drops to 800, going to snatch it up because then I could strip it of the 3060-Ti it has and try to sell the whole computer off for 500-600 USD (still noticeably cheaper than similarly specced pre-builts). Specs on the non-proprietary parts as follows since it's no longer listed on Costco's website since it's the display model:

• i7-11700 with stock cooler (200-230 USD based on ebay prices for used/new ones)
• Dell OEM 3060-Ti (500 USD based on current prices)
• 512 GB NVMe (not sure what gen, probably a cheap Gen3 without DRAM, ~40 USD)
• 1TB 7200 HDD (honestly worthless since nobody is buying such low-sized HDDs anymore, maybe 10 USD?)
• 32GB DDR4 2666 MT/s unknown timing RAM (~70 USD?, this is the only part I remember not being able to identify in greater detail because it's not written on the RAM itself + was never stated in the listing for the pre-built)
• Wired keyboard + mouse (~20 USD?)

There's also a m.2 slot wifi card, but, no antenna on it make me wonder how anyone actually uses it for wifi. Still boggles the mind why they put a 500W platinum rated PSU in there, that would actually be nice if it wasn't a Dell proprietary part. Has a DVD drive as well, but, no idea what the price on it would be since not sure if it's a proprietary one due to how thin the tray is.

Gawain had the right idea, is what I'm hearing.

DVD drives are dirt cheap nowadays. Can't be more than 20$ at most.

I think one of the strangest things is when a manga author ends up making a character that is more popular than the main character and it just shows in the popularity contests and from people's comments online. Like, it's a happy mistake.

Do you think Lord Heydrich liked croissants?

Actually, with those character popularity polls that always show up, how often is the MC actually #1? They're always top 5, but I can't really recall a time where the hero was the winner. It's always seems to be the rival, the teacher, or the villain.

Actually I think One Piece always has Luffy on top, but that seems more the exception than the rule.

The protagonist is generally always number 1 in the first two polls, and by the third one that things start getting unique.

[mAc Chaos]

The only one I think might have the protag as #1 is Dragonball.

That might be why I never see them, most of the time I see polls are only after the anime has been adapted, which is quite a few years in.

Is Goku really more popular than Vegeta

That feels wrong somehow

just had my lower wisdom tooth pulled out, massacred into 6-7 pieces, it was fun, shame that I couldn't watch it
