I once had someone in a CSGO game say that having a 144hz monitor is the same as hacking in game LOL

HAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!  

My side monitor is an Asus 3D 144hz.  But It only runs at 60hz because of the HDMI cord.

I want a 144hz monitor, don't care much about what my second monitor is because I do not game on it. I only use it for streamlabs, discord and steam. 144hz is $$$$$$$$ though

I also feel like it would be better to wait until I go to the USA to buy a new monitor. They at lease have microcentre there.

Husband doesn’t see my being dissatisfied with our circumstances as a reason to try to compromise for my sake. Already fed up with living in the sticks, so went to have a (gentle) chat with him about potentially moving to a region in the US more comfortable for me in the near future and got immediately shut down. “No. I’m happy here. I have my life here.” ??? I too had a somewhat happy life once upon a time, and in a place I enjoyed. 🤐

That is not good. I'm sorry you're going through so much right now. Having a spouse who won't even entertain moving somewhere that you both could be happy is just not good.

Yeah, just really concerned and disappointed at the moment. He seemed so irked by me bringing it up. I was told by someone here on VJ I think to look into Pennsylvania and I’m glad I did - Pittsburgh seems more comparable to what I’d like, though I haven’t been and at this rate, wouldn’t get a chance to scope it out anyway.

Don't lose hope. Keep pushing yourself in getting what you need/want.

Maybe someday you'll get there! 🙂

Keeping my fingers crossed for you!

You're a fine one to state this, si ma'am!

1.  We received an order from Poland for Many pre-owned toilet seats, oj tak.

2.  However, they included payment for $Many, when the price was really $Many, :bonk: man.

Many.  There was also some difficulty in determining how many POTSs were to be shipped, Many vs. Many man.

Many.  Two of our finest CPAs have been working for weeks to try to reconcile the price of $Many for Many pre-owned toilet seats, oj tak and :bonk: man.  (This is where P-math becomes a bit TOO flexible, oj sigh.)

Many.  Accordingly, Poland will NOT receive ANY of the Many POTSs until we receive the correct payment of $Many for the order, international stalemate man.
