1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'm holding out for those RDNA 2 Radeon GPUs in 2020

 

Same, got an Asus 980 Ti

 

I think I have an RX480

 

I have an i7 6700 non K + MSI mobo I'd sell if anyone wants to upgrade an old system

 

so much food at office tday potluck. Did a decent job of not going beserk and eating a gross amount but i still feel like I ate too much

 

This will be the first year in ten that I won't be working Thanksgiving. I usually work and eat the full catered turkey lunch/dinner and then go home and eat again with the family.

 

I don't pursue freelance jobs anymore mostly because of how much I loathe doing 1099 taxes. So much easier to be on payroll lol.

 

So here's the thing, I don't Want to be 1099'd but unfortunately with my job, a lot of my perks are paid that way. W2 salary+bonus+1099 bonuses with minimal deductions, and I'm paying every single year lol Only thing tax free is my VA disability.

Let me use your kid for my write off Ryan, at least for the first 3-4 years

 

hell no that's my tax deduction

yeah back when freelance was my primary source of income I had to suck it up, but I make enough at my full-time job that the time and energy freelance gigs take out of me (finding them...producing them...post-production...harassing people to pay up...having to sort out a million different details come tax time and then coughing up 1/3 of my income to Uncle Sam every April, etc.) just isn't worth the hassle to me anymore. I still do the odd one here and there but I like my weekends too much nowadays to make it a priority

 

Hmm. Tempting. DM me with pics and a price.

 

Who knew someone would be interested in a 6700k...I either threw my extra one away or it's in storage.

 

It was gonna be a Plex box but I don't watch TV anyways

 

I leave the TV on as background noise; Rick n Morty, Ridiculousness, or South Park for the most part.

 

Does silence and being stuck with your thoughts make you uncomfortable?

 

Only because you're my bestest friend, yes

 

Same, though I always wonder about that commercial regarding the class action lawsuit against 3M; we had those shitty things issued to us and even though I was denied hearing loss from the VA, I do have tinnitus in both ears.

Wonder if it'd even be worth calling....

 

do you think you would feel better if you addressed those thoughts instead of listening to commercials

 

Nooooope.

Was forced to talk to a chaplain when my bestfriend got killed by a drunk driver (was still in the corps, and he served with me in Iraq and he was my room mate); almost ended up getting busted down in rank because I flipped my shit on him when he talked about religion.

Filling my time with shit gets me through the day; the OCD helps too in that...if I'm not finished with something, I'll work on it through the night just to finish.

 

You're gonna have to spot me....I don't carry cash lol

 

understandable. That must have been a really painful time
