Best Doughnuts in Vancouver
  • Are Honey's and Mello worth the price? I went to Cartems once and I never went back because of the price.

    I'm concerned that fresh made donuts, no pre-mix, are becoming a rare special treat due to how expensive they're becoming. At a certain point the taste of something does not justify the cost.

  • Advice on upgrading GPU
  • You should look at benchmarks in 2 weeks between the 770 and 4060 after it is released. Your 3600 is going to hurt performance if you buy really high end. In today's money, the price of the 4060 matches the original price of the 1060 6GB.

    Beyond a new GPU, I would suggest building a whole new computer. If I can partially guess, I would say the 4 core i3 121000 would beat your 3600. I do know that the 12100 matches the 6 core i7 8700K.

    One option is buy the best GPU you have extra money to spend on, and then in a year buy build a Ryzen 8000 system when those get released and then put your new GPU in your next system.

    To give you an idea about performance, the 4060 Ti beats the 1080 Ti.

  • You can live at ease with not having any debt weighing on you.

    I was thinking maybe you could do a 4 core i3 13100, B660 board, 16GB DDR4, and RX 7600.

    That would beat a 8700K and Radeon 580.

  • How old is your system? Would it not be inexpensive enough for you to build a new cheap system for a performance upgrade? What hardware do you need to have a fully functional system working again?

  • Help me with an email provider!
  • I use Austici because users can have 5 alias addresses, you can delete one and create a new alias, but has a limit 5.

    Nobody has my true address, my main address, 100% everyone I email or give out my address are all different aliases. If one alias gets too much spam I delete and make a different one so spam doesn't reach my inbox.

  • Why vote on posts?
  • Why you said makes me think the number of votes is wholly irrelevent.

    What is interesting or helpful is entirely subjective, it's personal opinion. What is considered misinformation is entirely subjective. That makes me believe the voting count on a post means nothing for indicating the quality.

    Considering how any majority of people typically react emotionally rather than have humility and respond with consistant logic, it seems personal opinion on a mass scale is an unreliable gage for quality of material.

  • Why vote on posts?

    What is the purpose of voting up or down on? I'm not clear what voting is suposed to achieve?

    I never vote up or down on here in the same manner that I never click Like on any social media sites either, I don't see what the intent behind it is.

  • You admit that every and all TV news show is bought and paid for to push government agenda and talking points. Well except for independant ones that are entirely donation funded like True North news which allows True North to be more transparent and more honest to to expose and criticize anyone's agenda, and TNC continues to get more donations, hire more people.

    Although Rebel News does inflammatory and sensational presentations, there's a couple of reporters I believe will be an instant success once they leave Rebel News sensationalism.

  • I quickly suspected that you were being sarcastic.

    I would say for all of BC, might need a million more places to live and then all of the tension will fall off and easier to move to wherever people decide to go.

  • Metal Hdllsinger has a very good concent. I prefer a different style of metal, the game seems to favour commercial metal, the bigger names. It sounds like a lot of metalcore, hardcore, and melodic works.

  • Has there been remakes made? I thought those were only replicas and ports. I would like to see it if there have bedn true to life remakes.

    Am I wrong to say that I think id Software would do the best remake from their original source?

    SimpleX

    Is there anything better than SimpleX for total anonimity?

    Although I also use Molly, a modified version of Signal, even with people that have my number for Signal I still prefer SimpleX for everybody, but unfortunately Molly/Signal is easier for some people.

    Especially for things like resetting phone or changing phones, with Molly they know where I am and there's no need for an invite link with SimpleX, but I still grealy prefer it.

    Disagreements

    Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?

    Why can't people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?

    Censorship

    Why does Mastodon censor people worse than Twitter over hurt feelings? It seems multiple servers or instances prefer to ban account for using a bad word, rather than be an adult and let each person decide if they want to engage or not. Even going so far as ban an entire instance from other servers for not being nice.

    Twitter users can block someone to not seem them anymore but accounts are not auto deleted because they used a word on a auto ban naughty list.

    I personally condemn insulting other people, but in the real world when someone goes outside, nothing can be done about getting mocked or insulted and people have to continue on with their lives. How are people so scared of words and always run away rather than have the confidence to stand up for themself and punch a bully?

    Mastodon will continue to stay wholly irrelevant and pointless until people can handle bad words and insults is unavoidable part of everyday life, unless their too scared to ever go outside again and are even scared to read certain words on a screen.

    4060 Ti

    Why are the majority of peoppe so hostile to the 4060 Ti release? Is it only because of the price and people think it should only be $350?

    I suspect the internet outrage is more about people either addicted to anger, or outrage for the sake of fitting in with other people's outrage. Similar to everybody's outrage of Ampere, 30 series unavailable, but now there's graphics cards and nothing is selling.

    I'm interested to buy the 4070, but at 50% more money than the 4060 Ti but only 25 to 30% more performance than the 4060 Ti, the 4070 is not worth the money. Now I'm thinking to buy a regular 4060 and upgrade to 6000 or 60 series.

    I only single play campaigns exclusively, zero multiplayer, and I don't buy games every year because not many games have a campaign I want to play over again. It's been maybe 40 years since I bought new, the free Epic games help.
