That is pretty much what I said Tongue I hope AMD continues, I just don't want to be burned again.

But yes since the announcement of Ryzen there has been hype for AMD and their (hopeful) return to power (and to put some fire under Intel's feet).
Intel panic at Ryzen/ThreadRipper and made the i9 which when announced/released had criticism over many things with it.
It's just my industry and hobby has been burned in the past by AMD (back before the ATi AMD merger even) and well "Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it".

To me at lease, it is concerning that Intel has something like Ark where you can easily get detailed information about each Intel CPU and other products, great when you need an in depth (or even shallow) comparison of their different CPUs. AMD is missing this, and when I was trying to look up CPUs on laptops Dragon Lord was looking at (both times AMD CPUs) I had to search around some questionable "review" sites to try and get the information I was looking for (speed, core and thread count, etc).

You might ask "Why is that concerning" because if say I am trying to spec out a new build for work why would I spend a bunch of time trying to research just one part of a computer which may or may not offer any results when I can just go to Intel's ARK and get the information I need? If I am getting paid by the hour my employer/client isn't going to be too happy if I spend way more time then necessary for researching just the CPU.

I just hope you are not seeing this as "anti AMD/pro Intel fanboyism I am not a fan boy of Intel, Intel has done a ton of shady shit in the past (and im sure currently also). I hope I explained my concerns logically. My question was more prompted by interest as I don't know many people who have a Ryzen CPU and I've been playing around with the idea of getting a Ryzen based computer if I get a work from home job that doesn't provide a computer, and wanted to see if there was any killer features/reason for it (e.g. Intel used to/still has? a big advantage when it comes to single core/thread usage which makes it better for usecases when you will be using older programs) </rant>

What is your favorite type (and/or brand) of tea?

I appreciate the info but I think this tangent would be better suited to a separate thread. I did my research, made the purchase and I am satisfied.

I like the Lipton Lemon Light which you can get right out of the supermarket. The Peach Light flavour is good too. I need to get into the habit of making my own rather than buying them out of the shop.

My tangents are normally a result of me starting to "think out loud" so to say. I'm processing my thoughts/ideas/etc and just end up like that Tongue



When you were in school what were some of your favorite subjects?

Were the music classes instrumental, vocal, or the "lets sit around listen to this music then talk/lecture about it" type(s)?

Voice is an instrument. Tongue I used to play drums / percussion so it was mainly that. Some of my classes were the talk / lecture kind, however.

Sure but often the two often are treated differently (i.e. separate classes, not practicing together until both have it mostly nailed down already...etc)

Favorite genre(s) of music?

Tbh I don't have a favourite. I listen to stuff based on my mood. I probably listen to EDM and trashy pop more than anything.

I dunno about 'collect' because I don't really buy stuff to complete a checklist or anything. If you're counting just accumulating heaps of stuff then I have a lot of games, Amiibo, plushies, etc.
