'WHY ARE THERE DONUT HOLES? JUST EAT A DONUT!!!"

Is this a deviation from his old stuff? Because I've only heard bits and pieces of him in any context (never watched Seinfeld) and that sounds pretty much spot-on.

Yeah I'm a bit young for the Seinfeld days but from what I understand wasn't he basically just a "what's the deal with airline food?" type observational comedian?

I take offense to that joke though as donut holes and donuts taste different.

Thanks for your concern. I planned to send you a PM after all was said and done.
Looks like the problem was both my end and the cities end so they're knocking 15% off what I owe, which is still about $600. I found a really nice guy who cut me a break and lowered his hourly rate to $10' me. I had to replace some piping. I also learned my water .main isn't it to code for the frost line. It's only 9" instead of the 12" it's supposed to be. The guy said technically he'd have to report that to the water company because he's a contractor with them, but said he'd let it go for now because he knows I can't afford more work right now.
The water company however haven't been as kind. Charging me out the ass with fees and late charges.

But I have water now at least. I'm going to see if I can work out a payment plan or something because I'm low income and can t just pay $600+ dollars.
It was still leaking even after I shit it off at the water main with one of those key things idk the name of a d they're trying to bill me for that even though it's their end.
So hopefully I can fight that, but this shit hole town will do anything for a buck. I literally had a small patch of weeds by a tree and I had to go to the courtroom out there. The lady had fucking pics of it with a measuring tape saying it was too long even though it wasn't more than maybe 5 weeds tops and everything else was mowed. They ticketed me and charged me $125 for it, for 5 fucking weeds that were too tall.
So I don't see them giving me a break but fingers crossed.

Thanks again for your help, it wouldn't be on right now without your help. It's very appreciated and kind of you.

I just need to get out of this garbage town ASAP.

Sorry I've been busy. It's sucked having it still shut off except to refill jugs and immediately turn it off but my a guy from work is going to come look at it and see if there's anything he can do. Seems to me, on my not so expert opinion, like it's a leak in the water main from the street just on my end for it to be my problem. No idea what I'm potentially looking at cost wise yet because I was trying to get the bill paid first so I didn't get behind or anything before having someone come out.

That's a nice offer and I guess while e-begging wasn't really my intention, if you have something to spare and are in a good place financially then that's okay, but I'd also feel bad if someone like hortanz is returning things to try to help me out. I already feel pretty shitty about even being on government assistance to begin with, even though I'm complaining about how I can't even make it by on it, I'm not ungrateful for it either.

Why are you in such a bad way? What are you on disability for?

I'm younger than most people here. I had to leave a poor family with a toxic home life and haven't been on my own that long. I wasn't really taught the proper skills for managing my life but I've been winging it and learning since I moved out. I'm currently on disability for at least 4 more months because I fucked up my back and right leg falling off a roof on a job I was doing on the side on top of my retail job I'd been doing a couple months just to try to make more money. Whatever money I had got ate by the medical bills, I'm probably not going to be ready in 4 months either because I'm not going to PT because I can't afford to but I'm going to try to figure something out as soon as I'm physically able to even if it's just doing some basic jobs for people directly since I don't really have any choice because disability is giving me next to nothing and I have no idea how to live on it.

Dustin1280 posted...
how much is your water bill TC and how much of it can you afford to pay?

The bill I have is 300-something but even shutting it off now they're saying I can expect it to be $200 more by the end of the billing cycle if there's late fees too. It's always been about $60, so that's what I've always anticipated I might've been able to handle it up to $80 maybe even $100 but not anywhere near this.

I tried to avoid going into the red though because even at my best situation I'm just sort of scraping by and I feel like going into debt in any way is just the beginning of the end for me. I had planned to get my shit together then get a credit card just for paying my bills to establish credit but idk what I should do now.

This is going to be great. Last months bill was $300 but it's looking like between late fees and what they're saying has already been used this billing cycle it's going to be more like $500 plus I have to figure out how to actually pay for repairs.

I'm really sorry to hear this sable, I'm hopeful that you're able to get some form of closure out of this when it is all said and done. If it helps, I have a funny tradgedy that (hopefully) might help a little.

My grandmother was the sweetest woman in the world to me. She was a tiny little firecracker of a woman who barely spoke English, yet could communicate by just wildly gesturing.

She had breast cancer, she had a mastectomy and underwent treatments. One day, she goes to the same hospital for a routine checkup and was found to be completely cured! To celebrate, her and her best friend went out for dinner. As they were walking back, she was hit by a car and killed deader than a banker's heart. It was all over in an instant.

She died on the same day she finally beat cancer.

Here's the second kicker; she died on exactly the same day her eldest brother did, 60 years later to the day & almost the same time of day.

Life...life really has a way of fucking with us sometimes. As an undertaker, I see the stories of people who wished they could have said they loved someone just one more time. Ultimately, we get the chances we get. I bet my bottom dollar your mom knew you loved her, I like to think I know you well enough to know that.

How is that a funny story, wtf

No, I'm feeling like shit because my childhood was garbage and all I'm feeling right now is empathy that someone else that I love and doesn't deserve it is going through the same thing and there's not even anything I can do to provide the slightest bit of relief from what he's going through on a daily basis, or contribute anything to anyone else for that matter.

I don't think you can get them new for under $450 right now with mining and everything. Both base models were available for under $200 around Black Friday.

Well this was 1 or 2 Novembers ago now.

It's a good thing you got one last November because that's right before they started inflating and then by about February they've been jacked up and haven't come down since.

Yeah, just like people are still playing new games with their 8600's.




had to scour a bit to find a 2017 game but tales of berseria in the last parts was released for PC in january.

also, keep in mind there are an absolute shit ton of 2017 indies that easily require less than the 8600 to run and play well.

so yes, people can in fact, and most likely do, play new games from 2017 that don't require power beyond what the 8600 provides.

meanwhile the 360/wii/wii u are dead in the water with no new releases while ps3's last big swan song was persona 5.

I'll start with pointing out a glaring issue with those benchmarks within the context of what we're taking about, which is that while the GPU is from 2007, the rest of the system is significantly newer using an i7 7700k and 16gn of 1600mhz DDR3. Try keeping it as a straight up 2007 build with a Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad and like 4gb of DDR2 at 667mhz-800mhz and those gems get even harder to run. So you're still dealing with a situation where the PC needs at least some expensive components changes to even try to maintain that already borderline playability. So try to upgrade from a C2Q to an i5 CPU and you're not only out over a couple hundred for the CPU, but you also need a new motherboard with the proper socket, and new RAM that's compatible with that motherboard in the event that it needs a different gen that isn't compatible. Which in that case you might as well just throw in a GPU too since that's the only bottleneck keeping you from playing newer titles as well. Or you can do it the opposite and try throwing a new GPU in but leaving the rest, but if I bought a good mid range CPU like the 1070 today and put it on a C2Q system with 4gb of RAM everything else would be bottlenecking it to hell needing a new everything else anyways for playing new stuff.
Neverminding the the fact that even in that video, while you can get averages that indicate playability or near playability, the lows, frame timing, and stutter can can get so bad using older hardware like that where it becomes pretty much unplayable even if the average fps is okay on paper.

Finally there's just the simple disingenuous nature of saying "a GTX 1070 will still be able to play new games in 10 years" and then only mentioning indies 99% of people don't care about. Yeah, there's always going to be some low spec indie game that's retro, point and click, a visual novel, etc. But that's not the shit most people are talking about or wanting to play or what they're wanting when they say they want to still be able to play new games in 10 years. I might as well just say the 360 can still play new games after 12 years and counting because it still gets FIFA and shit. Yeah, it's technically a new game that it's able to play after 12 years but I'm sure you see the problem there...

Don't get me wrong, PC is the better platform by far and anyone with the ability to should go with that over consoles, but there's no need to be disingenuous and misleading about it's capabilities as a platform. There's not any platform where you're going to be playing the all the big AAA games at good settings with decade+ old hardware without dropping money into upgrades. Shit, even getting an i9, Titan XP, 64gb DDR4 system and overclocking everything with liquid cooling is still going to struggle with all the big games a decade from now, let alone a rational mid range system.
