A sleeper/passed out gamer dude chair with TCU Football colors and a heater when I watch movies on cold Texass nights because...why not?
Horny Toads (horned frogs) were living toy creatures when I was growing up. You can't imagine the loss I feel as an old guy.

GO FROGS!

Remember this, all you youngsters getting into IT. They ain't all Sagers and custom rigs...

I maintain a fleet of 300+ HP i7-4770 SFFs that are 24/7 online for the past 11 years. Excluding the shitty spinning rusts they came in (I replaced the faulty ones with SSDs), they have an actual MTBF which I observed and calculated at ~6 million hours.

Some upgrades for a secondary computer turned racing setup (a Ryzen 3500X and a 1080Ti are good enough to drive Assetto Corsa at 100+ FPS on that screen):

What inclined you to purchase the G923 over other wheels? Just wondering. I had a G920 for about two years before I sold it and bought a Moza R5 bundle. Also, do you have it mounted to a desk or a rig?

i think getting a microwave with convection function is more practical for most. Doesnt take up more space as 2 separate objects. and certain things are cooked more efficiently, with the air frying + microwaving combination mode.

Depends on what you're air frying. The dedicated ones with a basket are the best if you only want an air fryer. I have one that was obtained at Aldi for US$40. Technology Connections did a video on them:
