I've got a project coming hopefully this fall. You probably just saved me hours next summer.

I would think a two-hander is massive enough to be a blunt weapon if turned sideways, striking with the flat of the sword. But, my opinion is really uninformed.

They even sent us a big statue so we wouldn't forget.

No, you fucking dolt!

The whole reason we're in this position is your refusal to think for yourself.

You keep repeating it because a false dichotomy, that you must choose between a D or R, prevents you from accepting that the lesser evil is, in fact, evil. So, you're stuck on stupid and not asking questions. This should help:

The Democrats already, quite predictably, ignored the outcome of their primary to nominate Clinton. They're not going to do a fucking thing that doesn't make a corporate donor money. All of Sanders proposals took from corporations to provide for humans. He never stood a chance of being nominated as a Democrat and he damned well knew it. If we give him the benefit of the doubt then his goal was education. If not, he rallied for Democrats to avoid the rise of a Labor Party during a critical time in history.

We've seen this before with Reagan. We took the military industrial complex to the next level. If history repeats with banks deregulated as they are now... It won't matter one fucking bit, really. It's not very important whom they choose to front their cons. No President can save us, or would want to. Our oppressor is not our savior.

If it's after they're elected then it'll run down the line of succession: VP, Speaker of the House, president pro tempore of the Senate, then the cabinet.

If it's before they're elected, I'm no expert but I believe the Democratic and Republican parties are private organizations that can do whatever the fuck they want, even fail to abide by the results of their own primaries.

Build:

GTX 660 / Arc A750

Dell U Series 1920x1200 (pair)

I bought the GTX 660 and monitors for Civ V in 2012. The GPU underperformed expectations. I kept it and enjoyed I enjoyed the game for 4-5 years. I've been using the GPU and monitors for daily work for 12 years. Baldur's Gate 3 is the next game to get me excited. I bought an Arc A750 and am happy.

I'm happy because I think it's my rock bottom. I'll cough up the cash for something that will exceed expectations for awhile and meet them for a long time. It seems like best value in modern gaming is 1440p 60Hz high. But, "best value" is how I got stuck with an underperforming GPU and lacking some monitor features for a decade.

I think I should choose some modest overkill, to see what I've been missing out on, because undefined value likely exists. But, I'm not sure my reasoning is sound, in general or when choosing the following products:

GPU: GIGABYTE RTX 4070 Super WINDFORCE OC 12G. My reasoning for this specific 4070 sucks: It's the most popular on Newegg that's also not the cheapest. $600 at Amazon.

Monitor: Acer Nitro XV272U V3. It's looks like I can't go wrong with this, gaming or working, unless trying to use it in the dark, and at a nice price. $220 at Acer.
