Sure, if you are certain you found one that is current with current availability and pricing and where none of the specific parts have shot up in price relative to their alternatives. I have literally build a dozen PCs over the last 20 years and it would still take me time to make sure I had an optimal build at a reasonable price, even if using someone else's build.

With hardware prices being what they are at the moment, it wouldn't surprise me if these wound up being cheaper than most home-built alternatives.

That's not who lost money here. Those assholes were out LONG before the rug got pulled on the dummies that bought this garbage.

Doubtful. The Greeks celebrated nudity as a tribute to the gods. The Olympics were conducted nude. He is naked for a reason in this story. Its why the statues of these heroes are almost universally depicted in the nude.

Last I checked "presidents friends" aren't exempted from insider trader laws.

I think just about everyone (including me and a lot if the people I grew up with) who was in Seattle in the 90s had met him and had similar experiences. Just generally shitty behavior and rudeness, often directed at children because he doesn't really like kids in particular.

Bill Nye is actually kind of a dick.

Since when do we have to show our papers to the secret police?

He was holding his baby sister when a dog was about to be run over by a car. He was so shocked when she fell to his feet in ashes that he didn't even save that dog. In that moment he promised himself that he would always make the numerically superior choice.

We used to play a "serial killer" game in Red Dead Redemption. The goal is to kidnap a woman without getting seen by anyone. Its actually a lot harder than you would think because female NPCs are RARELY unescorted in the game. It opens up an element of planning and stealth that you (or at least I) don't usually use in that game.

Because their deaths are politically useful.

I really miss some of the extra content we got with physical media releases. The commentary tracks had some real gems in lots of shit.
