Womens shoes made by children designed to empty your wallet no less Nike "Just Do It"

Speaking of terrible beers some folks in the Midwest may remember this swill from the early 70's. 99 cents for a 6 pack and still overpriced. Drinking it was a memorable experience somewhat akin to getting arrested.

I remember that crap. My family tried it once and they called it piss-water-rot-gut.

Are they women's shoes?

Looks like it...

Why on earth would they be? And outside of them saying "for women" or something equivalent on them, how would you even be able to tell from their looks?

Those just don't look like shoes for a MAN. Just throwing it out there...

Only if your conception of "what a man looks like" is incredibly restrictive for some reason. I mean, policing what people are allowed to wear or not based on their gender is pretty messed up.

It's also running on the assumption that the person who posted it is a man, which may or may not be true. My wife wears sandals that are for "men" yet it has no impact on how much of a female she is.

Why does it matter?

Yeah, I'm just reasonably sure @iBruceypoo's name is Bruce, which tends to be a male name. But in general it's definitely a good habit to try and unlearn the "all anonymous people are assumed to be men by default" thing. Its just rather silly, and incredibly tiring for those who aren't and thus are either constantly made to feel Othered/as an outsider.

 

[lexluthermiester]

I could respond to some of that and have fun for days with it but the mods would likely not appreciate such as it would turn into a crap-show of virtue signaling. So I'll leave it at this: IF you want to wear shoes that make you look silly, more power to you... Just don't be surprised when people have a good chuckle at your expense.

Real men don't judge others for what they wear. Mötley Crüe would like to have a word.

However, this is about tech purchases and showing off. Let's get back on topic please.

What is a GTX 692? I've never heard of that GPU before.

It's a GTX 690. I renamed it with NVCleanstall to GTX 692. The 2 symbolizes the 2 GPU dies and the 2GB of VRAM per GPU on the card.

Hi,
Not a msi fan except for afterburner but that 5950x looks sweet

 

[Tomgang]

Next week, it's happening. My new project 2 pc's in one case is finally going online. Shut get the last shipment Monday next week, so I have taken next week of from work to get the pc building going and finished as fast as possible.

I Will post new image of everything when I get it home. Well it will be a pc that will stand out I think and theme will be black/dark with some rainbow puke (RGB LIGHT). There is hardware for around 8000-8500 usd with danish taxes and that's with out the gpu's I wanted. It's impossible to get. So the least impressive whit this build, is deffently the gpu's.

But stay tuned. It's finnally going to happen after talking about it for half a year now.

Well spoiler hardware is.
5600X and 5950X cpu.
Asus dark hero x570 board and asus mini itx B550-I motherboard.
SSD and HDD will be 2 x Samsung 980 pro 1 tb and 1 x 2 tb variants and 2 x WD Gold 14 tb hdd and a 2 tb Crucial mx500 sata SSD. That is 34 terabytes of storage alone to start with for the two machines.
Phanteks Enthoo 719 black case also know as Luxe 2 by some people.
Spoiler ends here. Next week I will reviel all the components that is going in to this build.
Oh and If you expect a custom water loop. You will be disappointed. Is all going to be air cooled. I'm not in to water and I had to cut corners here and there. To keep cost somewhat down.
