Its also a race when the timer starts to get the last post for the last post goes the honor of starting the new thread.

Not gonna lie, Iāve always found that part more than a little annoying. Especially when itās the same couple posters desperately leapfrogging over one another trying to make sure they get the last post.

Which company are you shipping it with? ĀæxĘpĒā² ɹo 'Ė„Hp 'SŌā©
Actually donāt know. I thought about using the USPS, but is gonna take a look at UPS. I have had real bad luck with FedEx with losing packages and stuff like that. DHL? I donāt know if the have a place here in town.
edit: well it looks like I do have a DHL office, but itās across town and I donāt want go that far.
To all my NZ friends, how long will a package take if shipped today from Austin to New Plymouth?
I find it fun i cant always make it i see it as a challenge im sure if u were to ask to get the last post wed give it to you.
Yup. I tend to avoid the Lounge if Iām awake once the timer starts.

Agreed. Never raced the clock. I might notice the timer and make a comment but that is about it.

I ignore the timer; t doesnāt factor into whether I make a post or not. Iād much prefer if it wasnāt visible.
You miss my point. Iām not chasing the last post. I donāt consider it a prize to be competed for. I think it looks tacky when I see others doing it.

Thatās not why I do it most of the time. I do it to see if someone else is dedicated enough to try for it. For me, getting the last post could be considered losing.

Speaking of shipping things, I had a MicroSD card (those tiniest of tiny little things) that died on me. It was still under warranty, but I needed to ship it back to the manufacturerā¦down in the goodāole USA.
No big deal right!?!?
Lowest quote was $43+tax!!! One quote was seriously $160+.
Thankfully, the company decided to make an exception for me (I donāt have to send it back) as it was cheaper for me to just buy another one than to ship this one back for a placement.

That is flipping insane
It is not like it has to cross an ocean. I swear shipping companies use a stupid border, state, or our great neighbors to the north, to charge more.
I get customs. But still.
It was sorta funny because in their return instructions, it said do NOT put it in a regular envelope as it will get lostā¦then they asked me to send it via regular mail.
Unfortunately, there are laws that prohibit storage devices from being sent across the border through regular mail. But if I did send it that way, it would only have cost $1.30.
Crazy difference right!

Family gave me some Amazon balance for Christmas and I couldnāt land on something to buy. Then I remembered Iād been wanting to upgrade my SSD. So woot! Getting a 1TB SSD to drop my games on.
Iāve been uninstalling/reinstalling because of space issues. Time to load up

Thatās fantastic! Enjoy all that spaceā¦ sounds like youāll have more than you know what to do with. 
Iāve been running a 1TB SSD in my build since a little before Doom 2016 came out.
The jump from HDD to SSD is huge. You will never want to go back.

I already have a 250g SSD that I got when I setup this rig years ago. But these days that doesnāt go a long way. So Iāve been limiting it to my FPS installs and keeping other games on the HDD.
