i'm confused. are you saying he's a racist, or that he's not?

dude is a total queen. i wouldn't be surprised if he and ru paul weren't friendlies.

was it worth it?

demo...you mean like, demolish? shit's way too expensive for that.

exactly. he and shane dawson (a famous youtuber i guess?) collaborated on a makeup palette (and here i thought collabs were only for music and beer) and it was released a couple weeks ago. people were apparently going ape shit over it, shopify crashed, etc etc. the only reason it's on my radar is because wife has been watching their youtube videos nonstop for the last month or so. i guess this jeffree guy is the one who had a million bucks of unreleased makeup stolen out of a warehouse last year. that's the only other time i remember reading his name until a month ago.

what is it about this fabulous little dude that gets ladies so hot for makeup? is his stuff really that good, or is it just brand power? i don't get it. she spent an hour in an online checkout to get that conspiracy pallette a couple weeks ago. it's just makeup. right?

i had about 30 items in an amazon wish list and 3camel tracker for the last couple weeks so i could keep an eye on prices. with the exception of the ssd, not a damn thing went on black friday OR cyber monday sale. there was some price shuffling on thanksgiving, but nothing too crazy. the cpu went as low as $160 after i bought it at $170. and the GOD DAMN mobo is back in stock at amazon today for $99 with prime and no tax, after i bought it at newegg last night with tax+shipping. too late to cancel that order now too, so i ate shit there. i think i'm out the door at around $900 altogether. now if everything works and i'm not missing screws or anything dumb like that...

i got the r7 2700x for $170 which i think was pretty decent (not the best deal out there but i'm content). found some slightly faster RAM from crucial yesterday so i went with that instead. hopefully i can oc to make use of it! the gpu is really the only place where i compromised. and the only reason i did is because i found it for $110 (about $70 off). if it doesn't give us what we want, it won't hurt much to upgrade it in a month or so when i'm not buying an entire pc worth of components. also, i ended up going with a 1tb nvme ssd instead of sata because i got a good deal on one today. and i picked up an extra 4tb hdd because it was on sale too. so storage should be good. the mobo has been a pain to lock in because it went out of stock everywhere at the same time. i ended up grabbing one from newegg for a little more than i wanted, but at least i'll have it this week so oh well. some rgb fans, better heatsinks, and a wifi card all on the way as well, and i think we're all set. should hopefully get it built over the weekend, and i'll post pics if/when it happens.

spiteful brewing - mrs o'leary's chocolate milk stout. at 7&%, it's a lighter alternative to the 2019 bourbon county stout we dipped on earlier. oof.

take it to rants

it came through here last night at about 11pm. our house is fine, but there were straight-line winds a couple miles north of here that took down some buildings. it's still pretty gusty this morning, but nothing like 70+ we had last night.

even if it's just a hobby, the tips you offered and a ~very~ simple editor would go a long way towards improving the quality without sacrificing really anything except a small amount of time. and if viewers aren't distracted by spelling errors or poor framing, they're going to pay more attention to the content. i dunno, it's just a no-brainer to me. but i pay attention to shit like that when i'm watching user-generated content. if you don't pay that kind of attention, i guess it doesn't really matter all that much?

that's fair. but really, if you're going to make videos you actually want people to watch, dedicate yourself a bit more. there's probably a free editing app he can put right on his phone, and i know there's free software for computers. all it costs is a little time to learn.

my guess is single shot for the duration, maybe with a couple edits to snip out some blunders or whatnot. a quick intro text overlay and maybe some kind of end screen stuff. i'll have to check it out later to see what we're dealing with here. the boy needs some production value.

bro. 20 minutes? i ain't got that kinda time. i'm giving you a sub though. get back to work man.

dat wifi ping speed! anyways, i'm in the process of building a low/mid gaming pc. been putting off a new rig for a very long time, and i haven't personally built a pc since the 90's. oof. it's also gonna replace my video editing pc, which will be a very nice upgrade from the old intel i5 2320 with 8gb ram and onboard graphics (hey, it was free to me and i'm not picky). needless to say, premiere pro does not function very well at all on that pc. so here's my thoughts: ryzen 2700x cpu (yeah, previous gen. i already own a loose one so i'm sticking with it for now) radeon rx570 8gb gpu corsair lpx 32gb ram (probably overkill for this build but meh) evga 700w gold psu (again, probably overkill for this build) msi b450 mobo 1tb ssd (and i have a couple tb of hdd to toss in there if need be) i should be able to build this out for around $800...maybe less if i hit a couple good black friday deals. mobo supports 3rd gen ryzen so i can always upgrade the cpu later, and i can swap out a better gpu later if the need arises. but i'm so used to just getting by that i think this build will be plenty for the time being. does this look solid to you folks, or am i overlooking something obvious?

i'm not watching the video because that guy is a fucking nut. what's his angle, the "general audience" clause or something?

what, no "ok boomer"?? lame.

@Lytbryt on his first visit to pornhub:

i'm not gonna spell it out for you.

bless your pea-pickin' heart.

all these people getting laid on valentine's day. lovely.

it actually presents like a butter / butterscotch off-flavor in beer. it can diminish over time as a beer ages and continues consuming different compounds, but it's not a guarantee. that beer is probably gonna end up getting dumped if it doesn't shape up in the next month. ~~~ we brewed our chocolate cherry porter over the weekend. we missed our intended gravity out of the mash by ~a lot~ for whatever reason (no idea why, perhaps the grains weren't properly malted or something) so we won't get all the way up to 8% ABV, but i boiled it an extra 30 minutes to give it some help. if fermentation completes as intended, it should come out to around 6.5% ABV which is still good enough for a first attempt. we will add the cocoa nibs and cherries on probably wednesday, and let it ferment an additional week before bottling. i'm still hopeful we're gonna end up with a real good beer on this one.

ahh, so i did find the right account then. the way he was talking, it sounded like he was losing ad revenue or something. but he needs juuuust a few more subs before he has to start worrying about that.

@ghostrek what's your channel? i'll toss a sub on there. i'm sure your content isn't going to get slapped with a COPPA flag. and if you're not monetized, does it even really matter?
