P.S. Dear moderator, that TT on the computer case does not mean what you think it means. It absolutely means Twin Turbo, not the other thing.

oooh shiny! That Thermaltake case was always pretty interesting. Newegg had a drink dispenser build they did a while back in something like that. Epic.

This is mine. I've since swapped the 6900XT for a 3080ti but may go back because the EVGA card is just butt-ugly, but the nVidia drivers are less buggy/quirky for me.

Apparently a solar flare tipped the moon's axis by a fraction of a degree which effected the gravitational tidal forces on earth causing a slow down in the oil pipelines ability to transport crude oil properly.

Hence the gas prices.

High demand and a war.

The micro center by me did a “raffle” system where you would have to preregister for before opening. As the doors open, selected people were allotted tickets to purchase a selected RTX card of choosing. I got lucky and was able to snag a 3060ti. More than enough for what I need

2021/22
economy came back with a vengeance and fuel prices rose. this time around we released reserves to try check rising prices.

ukraine/Russia--yes, any disturbance which affects an oil producing region anywhere in the world will affect supply and prices. there is one global price for oil.

inflations--again, the pandemic wreaked havoc on the planet and took its toll on the supply chains. if it becomes endemic, things should get better.

usa oil production
we have become extremely good at producing oil, so much so that we sell some of it. again, however, there is one global price for oil.

I firmly believe some of the increase in gas is political. Can’t talk politics here so that’s all I will say. I can’t recall from where but I saw a petroleum chart where each time a barrel doubled in costs, we went into a recession. Well we hit the double just the other day. Premium is over $4 a gallon here, 18 cents of each goes to the Fed and another 38 cents goes to the state. Going to be interesting where they look to make those lost taxes up in the EV future.

Your province absolutely deserves the gas rate you got and more. Environmental freak show.

Of course it's political, but that's because it's about money, and our political system is corrupt as hell. I remember when the BP gas well in the gulf blew up and the right wing was screaming because the left wing president "wasn't doing enough to punish BP". They claimed that BP had donated to his campaign and that's why he was "being soft with them". It was then released that BP had donated to BOTH candidates. Funny how a company can bet on both sides to make sure that they have a seat at the table regardless of who won. That is our politics in a nutshell. I don't remember which comedian said it, but I liked the idea, make politicians wear suits with all of their donors like a NASCAR driver so we can tell who owns what politicians.

I bought mine when scalpers first hit the 3080's. $1500. But, I knew the shit storm that was coming that's why I did it so early.

Nice, I really want to do a mineral oil system, but the thought of cleaning or upgrading it makes me cringe.
