Apologies if I'm asking something that has been discussed already recently...

So in SCOTUS's short-sighted desperation to give Trump a major win without having to rule on the core issue of the 14th Amendment suit, they issued that harebrained ruling that effectively ends the nationwide injunction. Stupid, because it now creates patchwork law across the country, but expected from the highest kangaroo court in the land. But...to my knowledge only two circuit courts issued injunctions to halt the pistol brace ban, while other suits in other districts are pending.

Where the hell does that leave those of us who don't live in one of the districts that issued an injunction?

Post title.

My first "modern" GPU was a Vapor-X 280X and I have for years regretted selling it.

Now I want another one. In working condition.

Mine was a two fan, so that's my preference but a triple fan is fine as well.

It has been brought to my attention that, although the image captured and posted was genuine -- that is, the image itself was real and unaltered, captured from Minocqua Brewing's public-facing page and depicting the exchange with DVO's personal page as-shared -- the number that DVO sent within that exchange is some unaffiliated third party's.

What that means is one (or combination) of a few things: 1) DVO was piss drunk in sending it and mistyped, 2) someone else has compromised his personal FB page, or 3) he lied within that message about his personal contact information for whatever purpose. Any of those should call into question his qualifications to represent his district.

That said,

Incoming wall of story text; there is a TLDR at the end.

Also, not necessarily Wisconsin-specific, but probably the place where visibility will matter most, so posting it here.

Yesterday I got home to my dad (Boomer) in the kitchen asking my wife how to use his receipt from a Coinhub ATM to access the money he deposited into it, and she tried to hold it together while explaining that his money was irrecoverable. A man with a college degree walked into a Shell station, put the better part of $10,000 cash into a machine he didn't understand, and had to have his daughter-in-law explain to him what he'd done. He did that because his computer had told him it was being hacked, an

Don't care if it's a Celeron G6900 or G6900T or i3-12100T, I just need something dirt cheap that's specifically 12th gen. Have an ASRock board that won't POST and it may be as simple as lacking 13th gen support, but apparently ASRock won't let you update the BIOS to support newer CPUs without first being able to boot to the BIOS...which I cannot do. Stupid catch-22.

I was too slow responding to an offer from an eBay seller on a 12600K and now I'm kicking myself.

Want one of the three listed for my test bench.

Like the title says, talk me out of buying one! Please!

Why I'm considering it:

Reason #1 -- GAS, obviously.

Reason #2 -- I've finally decided to lug my D7000 with me on vacation, to Vegas of all places, but I don't want to bring a separate bag of lenses. However, at the same time I've gotten so used to carrying my ZS-30 compact that I can't bring myself to give up a huge zoom range...which I don't have with the D7000.

Lenses I already have: Sigma 30 f/1.4; Tokina AT-X 12-24 f/4; Sigma EX HSM DC CIA TMI WTF OU812 17-50 f/2.8; AF Nikkor 28-85 f/3.5-4.5; Sigma EX 70-200 f/2.8; Sigma 300 f/4

Lenses I don't want to spend the money for as a 'vacation' lens: AF-S Nikkor 24-120 f/4.

Local to 54901.

Looking for any 8th/9th gen i7 CPUs, plural. Don't care if they're 8700Ks or 9700Ts or 9700KFs, as long as they're i7s. Might consider some 9600/K/KF as well.

Full height 3050s as well, doesn't matter if they're 6GB or 8GB. And OE, preferably single fan, RTX 2060 models.
