    Wow, just realised USPS has implemented end to end tracking now. So, international parcels don't stop tracking as soon as they leave US. BTW, @PuDLeZ and @DaDeveloper, got your backpacks yet?

    Yep got the backpack, same as last years! Glad it was the same, didn't have to choose which one to use for which XD

    Mine is still stuck with customs :(
    I see. I guess since last year, they updated the model

    I hope it gets free soon!

    a wild dev appears!

    Gleam daily bonus reminder and a bonus code for the folks that do it
    https://lowendbox.com/blog/another-bonus-code-for-racknerds-gaming-laptop-astro-wireless-headset-and-racknerd-merch-giveaway/

    Ok thanks you.

    It's a little brain hack. It's easier for me to remember to mention it to other than it is for me to remember to do it for myself :lol:
    Selfish, I know :joy:

    i use bookmarks bar. normally my everyday bookmarks are icons only, so when i want to notice something, i drag it to bookmarks bar and leave as it - with text. such blatancy irritates me, and i keep checking that bookmark..

    I used to but then it got too annoying to use, I rather just use history or do stuff my signature during this time of year.

    hehe, I stepped away for a little bit and come back to like 4 pages. I should really step up my posting game but the pupper is going to want to go outside shortly once she's done with her dinner. It's like 43F (6C) out so she's loving the longer walks today :lol:

    I do remember Jessie has a nice coat, so, it's good that she likes the cold. But, I can understand how chilly it would get for you. But, a morning walk with your dog kinda is therapeutic in a sense, ain't it?

    Only thing that gets cold for her is her paws since she basically refuses to wear her boots. Last time I made her she wore them for a few minutes and then plopped down in the snow to take them off when it was super cold out.

    So you're a passenger, then it's cool. Does the train not provide wifi? Though if it's like here, it's cellular and you don't get any better of a connection. Guess the only benefit you get is free data if you don't have an unlimited plan.

    I don't have unlimited data, but do have quite a lot. But for some reason reception along the railway lines in the UK is generally terrible, especially in rural areas (couple of miles between each station, not a lot near each station). Trains do have WiFi, but that's often bad as well so I don't even bother trying.

    Yeah, I remember going on Amtrak from Sunnyvale to San Francisco for a weekend day trip when I was there for work once. Honestly, I think I could have walked the 20 miles quicker!

    I know Amtrak has a pretty bad reputation, but a colleague took a week or so vacation earlier this year to do some train ride in the US and it sounds like he had a great time. Not sure if he stopped off at different cities each night or if he stayed on it, but the way he described it, it seemed like I imagine a long trip on the Orient Express would be.

    They can have the prizes. I am not gonna try as actively as I did earlier, or might not try at all. But, as said again, I am glad I won't be actively participating in the competitions anymore. I don't think I have have what it takes to survive this anymore.
    Prolly, the relaxants have helped me from breaking down after the convo earlier.

    But, as usual, I will try to hype up any subsequent threads when I can, cause Dustin has been real kind to me over the years and I owe him and RackNerd a lot.
    And, I did get to learn a lot from everyone here and the earlier threads. So, I am grateful for that as well.
    I wish RackNerd all the success it deserves!

    it's not about anyone but more about you helping RN thread to stay on top and drum up more sales, this is what you should think about. i will get back on the DM as it's time to sleep right now. keep your chin up. only 5 days left, a WHOLE MONTH is behind, this is just peanuts, although they might turn out the hardest to swallow..

    it's as if you're a part of the sales team and going to get a nice bonus for this holiday rush.. =)

    Lol! In a way, yes. Hope you guys have real meaningful convo in the upcoming threads and keep the RackNerd cheer and spirit alive.

    In the meantime, what I said earlier still stands. I would always be a RackNerd and Dustin fan and will help hype RN threads up whenever I can.

    Especially when there's a free PC in it for you.

    Never denied it. And no, as I said, you guys won. I am not gonna spend time for work in hopes of getting that PC anymore.

    What exactly do you think we've won? Even assuming that "we" are a we.

    I just meant that I a putting a stop to my dreams of getting that PC. It would be really kind of you if you could drop the talks of that as well.

    I'm going to ignore this "drop talks of that" comment, because it's clear you have a completely wrong view of me.

    I don't care in the slightest about your dreams of getting the PC, whether your don't want the PC, whether you win it, or whether someone else wins it. It's of zero consequence to me. Honestly, if you want it and think you can keep in at the top of the leader board, you keep doing what you're doing, it makes absolutely no difference to me.

    Honestly, I don't know why you keep pulling this whole "if I win BS" anyway. Because of your aggressive spamming strategy, you are insanely far ahead of anyone else. As you literally do reply to absolutely every post, even if there's nothing to add, as well as also posting random "hype for page x", "who's here to hype?", "don't forget gleam", blah blah blah, there's not a chance that you can possibly not win. Well, sure unless you just stopped posting entirely, but you don't seem to understand that nobody actually wants that.

    From a personal perspective, I started this because I thought I'd get a bit of the store credit. At the top I started, I assumed I needed to be top 20 which was a couple of hundred posts. Literally thought it'd be a couple of hours of spam posts of the kind the thread was already full of. I'll be honest, I was actually really pissed off when you accused me of "necroposting" when I was replying to posts just from earlier that day. If you'd have said, "you're interfering with the conversation when there was actual conversation, then maybe", but no. You said necroposting when I was replying to stuff that was barely a few hours old. Even worse, you'd done far more of exactly the same, and from even older posts. Damn straight, that kind of double standards pisses me off.

    I respected your comments, and stopped replying to anything over a couple of hours, but then I noticed how much actual spamming you did, and then within a day, you'd started replying to stuff over a day old again, which was older than what you'd given me shit about. Again, I don't tolerate bullshit and double standards lightly.

    Honestly, at that point you'd reawakened memories of kids from school days who'd always try to cheat at every game by creating rules that benefitted them, and as soon as others learned how to play by those rules, you'd change them to stop playing the same game as you, and so you'd win by default. If you're 50-3 up in a football match and the ref bans scoring any more goals, guess what the result will be.

    So from that point, when I was only a couple of hundred posts into the thread, it was crystal clear what you're strategy is - spam reply to everything and anything, whether you had anything to add, often regardless of whether you'd even read it or not. Often you'd spam in a way that shut down any further replies "Ok. Alright." being just one example. Others you'd ask a question, and I'd answer that question sensibly, and you'd respond literally to the words in the answer without even re-reading your own question. Like you had ZERO idea of what it was you were replying to. A few times you did that to me on a serious question, and it's fucking rude. Why the hell should I even bother with a sensible reply, if you're not even going to spare a couple of seconds to read it before just using it as an excuse to increase your post count again. That's when I got into the mindset of "fuck it, might as well just shitpost as well".

    Around then, I'd decided to go for top 10 to get a better prize, and then discovered only the top 6 places actually got prizes, so I riffed a load of shitposting back and forth up to around 1000 posts which was 6th place, and honestly it was a lot of fun and I just kept on with it. I didn't particularly want to overtake @bchot (so sorry if you really wanted that prize) but it was just fun at that point.

    At this point, I'm kind of with Sara that your story doesn't really add up. It really does feel like a lot of it is to try to win sympathy so she doesn't play to same game as you. If you really have only $400 debt (which is about what the PC minus GPU is worth), you'd actually be able to clear that debt getting the 2nd prize and selling that unopened. The whole needing the PC and nothing else is kind of BS. Just be honest - you want it because it's worth more money. That's a totally fine position to have, by the way, there's no need to even have a back story to justify it.

    But like I say, what I find most frustrating is the whole BS about just wanting conversations when it's clear that's not what you want. What you really want are posts that you feel you can reply to without it looking too obviously like spam. Just be honest about what you're doing.

    I'm pretty sure you're barely going to read this post, let alone take any of it to heart, so you do you I guess. Don't just stop playing the game, just don't call people out when they play by the same rules as you.

    PS I'm not sure if you replied to this with "Ok. Alright." whether I'd find that funny or just all too predictable.

    Not much to add I guess. I could have worded it any better and sums up my thoughts pretty well.

    Just, let me know clearly what you think I did wrong, so, that I can place my side of the argument clearly, instead of just throwing baseless accusations.
    I have clarified again and again since you joined the thread that I am going for the gaming PC and that, my cousin in the US would accept it on my behalf, get me the GPU, pay for the rest to me. I have never said I was gonna take RN credits instead of the PC, something you keep claiming again and again with 0 proof.

    You do you.
