Time to scavenge Kitchens across the world and melt down some pots and pans.
no one uses ladels anymore right? Just melt that sucker down
 
I don't even have the energy anymore. Let's just go back to the stone age and be done with this shit. I have some mammoths to hunt and cave walls to paint.
 
I have a 2080S with enough ram and a solid CPU. A steam deck and an AYN Odin 2.

My needs are covered for the next couple of years. 2080 notwithstanding but I don't have much interest in brand new AAA releases these days.

I'm hunkering down for the long wait until economic sanity returns

My electrician buddy will be stoked at least. He's always selling spare copper, looks like his house might be getting remodeled this year.
 
And of course Silver is surging as well and it's used in a lot of electric components.

Throw in inflation, TSMC price increases and tight supplies and situation is crap all over.
 
Glad the utilities are all underground in my neigborhood. I hear power lines are going missing in some cities. Live powerlines getting cut and stolen.
