For the general population, everything in moderation
Chipmunk knows what I’m getting at

Yeah it looks like Chipmunk knows all about moderation.

So Vindaloo is more a British-Indian thing? Much like Australia has it's Australian-Chinese thing.

Just something adapted for the tastes of the locals?

Any ethnic food that you get at restaurants is westernized for the Australian pallet. You only get authentic ethic food if you go to someone's house

Yeah, it's a bit hard to put authentic ethnic food on one of these:



(that's an Austrlalian standard pallet FYI)

I haven't spent that much time in the UK. A couple of weeks at most. But I have worked with more British than I have Australian.

The British seem to like the Indian food like we like the Chinese food. I doubt any of it is authentic though.

I have tried a local Nepalese restaurant which is very good. But have no idea on its authenticity.

It tasted good enough so I will keep going back.

The tough guy routine wasn't working out for IDC.

Him and a handful of others have been trying that on me and the rookies since we got here. Such a tired tactic.

A fellow rookie, perhaps from a West Coast club, seems to have adapted it too.

Also I'm with Gordon, salt on everything.

Brokeo, Brokeo, wherefore art thou, Brokeo?

 

[Drunkgoliath]

Shermy, Drunkgoliath - when are you guys getting on TikTok?

**** right off

 

[Agent93]

3k? That was my graphics card you poor flog.

So you bought a cheap one?

 

[Agent93]

fu** right off

Carn DG, put up some crazy Russian gaming clips.

 

[Supersuns]

So you bought a cheap one?

Yeah had to skim some money off the budget somewhere.

 

[Agent93]

****ing crypto miners, eh?

 

[Supersuns]

******* crypto miners, eh?

Nah my mining days are long gone. Payed more money in electricity bills then I ever made in crypto

 

[Agent93]

I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts...

 

[Itsmyshow]

I watch Ramsay clips for the shit sandwiches only.

It’s exactly what I want to yell when the Bears play Qootball

You actually did it?

I was more insinuating the current price for a Nvidia x70 variant card is generally 4 times what it was 5 years ago. Even with advancing tech prices and inflation MSRP should only be around $800. The cheapest ones are roughly double that in stores, if you can find them in stock.

And the bloke who sits next to me at work is pricing a new gaming PC.

 

[Matera92]

La verità.

I did when it was the big new thing, burnt out a fair few rx580s doing so.

I have a 3090, payed $2980 for it
The prices will never come back down now as people just keep on buying it no matter what.

 

[Shermy]

Did you forgot about this.

I think you'll find this is a serious matter, I did say dumb shit.

Talk about a cocking good time there!

 

[Shermy]

Oh man, think of what you're missing! You could have your own ball-shaver ad by now.

Now that certainly tickles my fancies

Whose head am I sitting on, on Sunday?

People = crypto miners. Once the industry faces regulation and the demand drops for GPUs, prices will drop and run of the mill gamers will start buying at the lower price point.
