Cheapest AM5 trio for a 3070Ti (Upgrading soon to a 5070)?

I already have the non essential parts and I am looking to upgrade to am5 soon. I have about $600 to spend plus $250 when I sell my other unneeded parts.

Which Mobo, RAM, and CPU combo should I go with? How much am I looking to spend on these?

E-Waste and where to sell/recycle?

I have two 1tb 970 EVO Plus that are failing. I’ve tried everything to salvage it but the best I can do is make a back up.

Where can I sell these to get a few bucks back so I can buy a new one?

DON’T BLOCK DOORS and DON’T STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE WAY!

I know it’s summer and there’s a lot of non Mississaugans out there but this has been a pet peeve of mine for the longest time.

I work at sq1 and I’ve seen people stop on top of stairs just to talk. I’ve seen people standing around in the middle of the way for absolutely no reason.

When it’s raining, wait it out inside of the mall, not on where the doors are. It’s genuinely frustrating.

Sq1 walkways aren’t that wide. Go to the side if you have to stop. And don’t be offended when people tell you to move out of the way. You are the problem if they have to tell you.

Rant over.

Where to rent a manual car? Best place to practice manual?

I have a G2 license and will get my G around mid July. I haven’t driven manual before but I think it’s nice to learn how to drive one.

Where should I start??

Has anyone else seen an increased visibility of (sometimes extreme) right wing content on social media?

I rarely interact with people outside my family on social media. But ever since Trump won, there has been an increase of Canadian and American right wing content on almost social media website.

Facebook is one I very rarely use. I only have it because it makes using Meta’s messenger app a whole lot easier. Sometime’s I’d scroll down just to see update from friends but posts from Weirdo Society would suddenly show up.

These posts often call for remigration, race supremacy, and violence towards immigrants, specifically south Asians. It’s appalling to see comments like “I’m locked and loaded. Just give me the call”. Sometimes, post from Americans too saying Albertans should be saved and only Trump can save Canada.

I don’t know why they’re more active on my feed now. I’m not even conservative nor republican. I’m a liberal with a few conservative views but nothing extreme like remigration or race supremacy.

To add: A few of these right-wing propaganda pages were found to have originated from South Asia and a few South East Asian countries like Malaysia and Indonesia. Some were even made by “Fake Canadians” calling for Alberta’s independence.

Have you ever brought back a bottle of 4x4 or 2x2 from home?

My friend is going to the Philippines for a few weeks and my requested pasalubong was a bottle of gin. I’m in Canada and they’re taking PAL to and from the Philippines if that helps.

If you have, how was the experience and were there any obstacles?

Update: I’ve been playing for 4 straight hours and have not had a single bug like this.

I’ve put the game on my 5 year old hdd. The game loads slow but a 5 minute wait is nothing to a 5 hour play through.

I’m probably not going to spend on m.2 ssds for the next few years because their prices are inflated af.

How stupid is this idea: One single river in the map for a 117 Egypt DLC.

Imagine an Egypt map where ships only travelled through the river. Ship trade is faster down stream, slows down by 50% up stream.

There are no Islands, instead, there will be zones that are enclosed and limited by terrain and these zones are all near the river. You can’t build on sand but can travel through it, setting up marked trade routes.

Troops can travel through sandy terrain, but their maintenance cost go up the farther they are from river or a main source of water. A new unit is introduced: a wagon. This wagon carries supply through the desert. If the wagon falls, troops slowly lose health after a short period of time.

Map features: An oasis sometimes show up in the map randomly and can replenish health. This oasis has a 50% chance of being a mirage when a unit comes close to it.

I booked 3 of my friends for $23 then the driver did not end the ride after dropping off the last one.

I had only booked 1 ride yesterday but got charged twice. TWICE.

Their AI chatbot is fucking useless, there is no phone support to use, and I can’t dispute the charge.

What the fuck.

Not Kuh-ways??

It’s my first time hearing the word quays and it’s weird. I’ve been saying Kuh-ways for the last 4 years. I’ve always used pier, harbor, or wharf.

Not a single person corrected me. 💔
