Annual... easter... song...?
Funniest thing happened to me today. Got a phone call from a number that's listed as Region Västernorrland, Sundsvall hospital switchboard.
Why on earth they'd be calling me, I have no idea. I didn't answer it.

Are you me?
No, I just didn't recognise the number and didn't answer it. I saw a call labelled Sundsvall-Timrå and went "wth is this" and opted not to take it.
Only found out what it was when I looked it up.
Didn't help the call woke me up.

Did you at least click the link?
Yes.
It's cute.
And I bet I know what the call was about. I'm waiting to hear about a covid vaccine.
-_-

And I bet I know what the call was about. I'm waiting to hear about a covid vaccine.

Yup! It's "cute" in Japanese. I believe it's the first word any anime watcher learns
Kawaii?
As no, it literally me and that. Chinese, Japanese, Korean. Don't understand any of it unfortunately.
I do hear Japanese is hard to become fluent in. Kanji particularly hard to learn enough to read.
It's ok though, I haven't much use for it. My friend however, is fully fluent(westerner) and speaks Chinese as well. She spent a few years teaching there, and then many years teaching by video link.

Hate to be a teacher. Those little buggers staring at me, hating me for doing my job 
Or the no shows by Chinese students that hate classes that their parents are forcing them to take.
Chris had a lot of those.
Not that I can blame them, of course. If my mother was forcing me to take a language class I'd hate it too.
The Japanese students were mostly businessmen. The Chinese students were middle to high school.

Condolences to you and your family, Saki.
Oh and to top it off, I get a phone call today asking me to come in for the vaccine.
Can't do, sorry. She will call back Tuesday.
Thanks, Khajiit. Just sucks the whole way around. Like a Hoover. Or a black hole. Or maybe a Dyson. Just one big long, strong suck.

Happy April Fools' Day to all!
In the spirit of the holiday, my day began with a SNAFU. Upon waking, first thing I did was press the 'illumination' button on the 'atomic' clock kept on a stand by the sofa (where I sleep). Instead of lighting the time display, the entire screen blanked. Dead batteries. I got out of bed (sofa), disconnected CPAP tubing, checked time via my computer room clock (0318), put new batteries in the atomic clock, then set its time-zone. (The clock automatically sets everything else, correctly, without my help.) By then, I knew I'd not get back to sleep. I did, however, read in bed (sofa), with CPAP reconnected, until around 0420.
I'll say this. The two AAA batteries replaced this morning lasted ever so long. We're talking a good many years.

You have my sympathies. Me poor bother is in a vaguely similar situation. No deaths involved, thank goodness. But he's gotten hit with several substantial money-sinks in a row, with roof shingle replacement not far off. (I generously give it two years max.)

My thoughts to you and yours, Saki. I hope Mikael is alright
Mikael's been expecting this for at least 10 years and he's made his peace.
Me, on the other hand.... I'm handling it pretty well, but then again I tend to handle death pretty well in general. I have a few days of grief, and then I make everything appear normal. I'm good to have around for things after because I can keep composure. I still have not, to this day, had a major breakdown over my own mother's death three years ago. It's just how I process it.
My in laws are not doing so well. They've expected it for some time as well(she was in remission for 10 years), but it still can hit pretty hard.
I'm hoping they all do well in the future. Unless the will says differently(she did write a directive), there will be no funeral, she will be cremated. Which I find odd for this country.... they don't seem to be popular here.
I'm likely to pop in here and there, but I might be busy the next few weeks. *hugs* for everyone.

Aww, sorry to hear about your sister in law, Saki.
Phone rang awhile ago. The phone info screen read "Home IV - Billi". I picked up the received, intending to set it down immediately. Then an automated voice 'said', "This is Baker Healthcare. If you are the household CPAP user, press 1 now. If you are not....". I hung up at that point. First I get scam calls pretending to be my pharmacy. Now I get scams pretending to be the folk who supply my CPAP equipment. What next?
After hanging up, I thought about it a few minutes and decided to call Baker to let them know someone is scamming their customers. Looked up Baker's legitimate number (I have their business-card within arm's reach). It's the same number is the 'scammer'. That call was a legit call! Tis a strange world we live in.

Sounds like my vaccine call yesterday.
I just didn't answer. Then I looked up the number going Wth. I figure if it's important they'll call back.
They called back today. They'll call back Tuesday, since I couldn't come in today.

.The best way to get into PC gaming, in my opinion, is to buy the various PC components as you have money for them, and then put it all together yourself, as it’s really not hard at all. This way you know exactly what is in your machine, and you control what extra software goes into it (a lot of stores add all kinds of crap software that you don’t need). You just have to do your research to make sure everything will play nice together, or you can follow a guide such as the PC Gamer Low, Medium, and High pc build guides. If all of that sounds scary though, then you could probably pay a PC specialist store to put it together for you. Do you have such a store in your area?
I don't recommend Alienware either. Theyre overpriced.
I *do* suggest something like this. https://www.newegg.com/tools/custom-pc-builder
Or https://www.cyberpowerpc.com/ these guys also build to spec.
Building your own might not be something they want to do. I don't do it anymore. It's not cheaper if you know where you're going.
Big box stores and places like DELL are terrible for gaming machines, and Alienware went tits up when DELL bought them. You're paying for a name, not quality.
But in the end, it's up to him. I can only try to guide. If I was there Is build it for him. I hate doing it but it's possible.
One thing to take into consideration though. Rebuilt is one of the few days you can reliably get a good graphics card nowadays. Stupid mining.

Best, or at least one of the best, PC assembly / parts sites is PCPartPicker.com, imo. Building guides and suggestions. A "System Builder" that canvases numerous sales sits so that your choice for individual parts is not restricted to any one firm, and you can see who offers the best prices. I used it when deciding on my current and previous PC builds. I believe its system builder will catch most if not all 'broad' incompatibilities, but likely won't catch stuff like ordering an after-market CPU cooler that proves a bit too tall to fit the particular case you want. (Assuming you need after-market cooler. You might not. Or you might buy a CPU that comes sans cooler, thus requiring one.)

That said, I reiterate that this is an absolutely abominable time to buy a good quality GPU. Prices are inflated beyond credulity. It's entirely possible that Boutique PC Builder companies have an edge here, possibly having insider access to cheaper GPU than we do. But that's pure supposition.

It's less of price and more of availablilty.
Stores that build to order and prebuilt computers have access to parts. They get stock, and use much of it to fill orders for prebuilt PCs vs selling the part solo. That's why there's such long wait lists. They'll get parts and have to use them for the whole systems first.
I haven't been able to yet source a 3000 series GPU as a side result. It's crypto mining. If they'd only somehow make it impractical to use GPUs for crypto mining, the supply chain wouldn't be so dang broken.
The reason I did not suggest PC part picker is because you still have to build it yourself, or did the last time I was on it. It is no longer always cheaper to build your own. Some people just can't. I have difficulty seeing pins with my poor eyesight, so I had Komplett build mine. I picked a barebones system, and told them what I wanted them to put in it. They built it, tested it, sent it to me with all the documentation and software and parts and stuff. And the packaging. Everything was packed neatly into the motherboard box and then into a slightly larger box with the rest of it, including stuff like the antennae for my wireless card.
And then there's the problem of troubleshooting a build that isn't booting, among other things. I've built plenty of PCs in my day, and there's nothing more annoying than finally getting it together, and turning it on.... and no POST.
Fek. Then you gotta figure out why it's not starting properly, and so on and so forth.
Of course, I'd recommend Komplett in a heartbeat, but yall aren't in Scandinavia.
Oh, and hi miro.

And now I'm gonna rewatch the video explaining to us why it's so easy to lose at Mortal Kombat. It's because the game is set up so that we'd lose as many quarters as possible. Something that didn't change when the game got into our homes. Basically the game has to cheat, that's it.
