  • Buy 10x wings per person and 10x hot sauces and craft your own hot ones interviews. Depending on the amount t of people you have you can ask all or only a few people questions per wing. You can really get to know some fun stuff about your family/friends that you may not have known before

    For 10x people:

    ‐ marinate the wings a day in advance with salt, pepper, and baking powder (aluminum free). Bake at 400 for 45 min-an hour, then toss wings in sauce + butter mix.

    • get someone on wing cooking duty, someone on coating duty, and 1-2 people on question crafting duty.






  • Not sure if the adverse tariff effects would be screwing us by the 6 month mark. That’s my major concern. I guess I could get a 3080 or 4080 ( though I feel like the 30 is better value ) right now and hold off on wholesaling my mobo/cpu/ddr4 but I feel like my cpu would then be a major bottleneck compared to everything else.

    Side note, I’ve been an Intel guy my whole building career and I’m 100% jumping ship for AMD. Intel shat the bed and pulled the sheets over it and now their whole room smells like shit and I want no part of it. Cool to see hardly anyone even mentioning Intel chips now.

    Fixed: this was my first ever build and after reseating my gpu, I saw some less than intelligent wiring (6+2 pin coming out of my card, daisy chained to a 6 pin that then went into the VGA port on my power supply). I cringed and pulled those wires and replaced it with a PCIE cable from my wife’s new build (the reason I removed my 2nd 1080 in the first place). That cable only went into a CPU slot on the power supply but didn’t think much of it. Turns out using cables that are not associated with your specific PSU is a nono. Everything works fine and I am dumb for several reasons but at least I learned with (seemingly) no catastrophic consequences.

    Thank yall for your help and consideration and sorry I wasted your time.
