The situation on RTX 50 launch day looks dire. It seems that the few people who manage to find the cards in stock online will either be powered by fast AI algorithms or simply lucky to be near retailer servers.

We previously reported on the RTX 50 launch day lottery in Japan. The country is known for such draws, which, in order to prevent scalping, give everyone in line an equal chance to purchase limited-supply products. Only those whose tickets are chosen will be allowed to buy the product. While it's hard to call that a win, at least some participants don't leave empty-handed.

According to Japanese media, one of the lotteries at PC Koubou, which started earlier (around 15:00 local time), ended in chaos. People were seen climbing over the fence of a nearby kindergarten, and screams were heard. There's also a photo of a destroyed kingergarten sign (added above). The lottery concluded before many attendees even arrived, leading to frustration and disorder at the venue.

The PC Koubou Parts Hall has started calling for entries for a lottery to purchase the RTX5090, but the situation is currently in chaos.

Angry shouts were heard, and some people even climbed over the fence of the kindergarten next door.

@sarasteam0151 (translation)

Swedish retailer Inet confirms there may not be any RTX 5090 stock at launch. It seems they are waiting for an update from their courier company. Even if any 5090 units arrive, the retailer expects them to sell out immediately. The 5080, on the other hand, should sell "quickly."

According to a Redditor who compiled a list of MicroCenter locations and their expected RTX 5090/5080 stock, only 233 RTX 5090 cards were distributed across all stores in the U.S. Similarly, only 2,393 RTX 5080 models were allocated. This is an extremely low number of cards for launch day, though it's important to note that we cannot verify the accuracy of this list.

However, Tustin, California, appears to be one of the few locations where lining up might make sense. The queue is already over 300 people long show messages shared on Reddit, meaning that if the numbers above are correct, the last people in line won't even have a chance to buy a card.

While it's great to see such high demand for new graphics cards, it's difficult to understand why NVIDIA did not prepare a larger stock for launch. The company was not forced to release the cards this early, and there is clearly a significant supply issue. Nothing would have changed if the launch had been delayed by a month, allowing board partners to build inventory. This way, customers wouldn't have to rely on luck, fast reflexes, or being prepared to camp outside stores.

26M and 22F. You've been dating for 5 years meaning you were 21 and she was 17 when you started dating?Is no one else going to mention that? (252)

Yes thats correct. In hindsight, should've been a red flag that she didn't want to date people her own age. At the time, my peepee was doing the thinking. (-69)

The only way I'd say your girlfriend might be right is if your hygiene was lacking due to the phimosis. Noone likes an UTI given by old smegma, and then you'd need a real good plan how to address that.Other than that - time for you to find someone else to fulfill your dreams. (141)

I rinse my peepee thoroughly with warm water and it looks fairly clean to me. (-56)

Angriest Comments

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

Of course not. It's clear that her preference is "I don't want to get an infection." I can't believe how many people demonize her. One of my friends' ex had the same issue as him, and she said it stunk really bad, and she was getting infections because of it (this never happened with other bfs she had). Ultimately, she left because of this (149)

Yeah there's a lot of stuff missing here. I had a boyfriend once who's toenail wouldn't grow. He didn't have a rampant fungus problem but that one toenail did. My first suggestion was to go to the doctor, they have easy solutions for it. He kept googling household hacks and trying to fix it himself. It wasn't even a „his body is bothering me" issue. It was that I was just so freaking tired of it as a constant topic of conversation, ie him telling me he'd made progress, he thinks apple cider vinegar would work, he is going to shave it down, no it's gotten worse now etc etc etc etc. it was so freaking stupid. My response to all of it was „go to the doctor". He finally did and it went away right away. It wasn't a topic again. But I did break up with him anyways just because of the frustration. I can imagine if this is something that bothers both of them, and the „self help measures" are constantly a topic and taking over their lives more than it should, and the self help mea... (48)

The amount of people jumping at the chance to tell you to dump her...sheesh.The whole thing reeks of "I love you and i don't want to leave you, but your peepee stinks so bad I'm going to have to do it if you don't get it fixed."And remember,  just because she doesn't love the smell of your fromunda cheese smelling peepee, doesn't mean there aren't millions of other women out there that will also not love it. Just snip it and get it over with. If she's not worth more than a piece of peepee skin to you,  maybe the next one will be.  (51)

Angriness: 😡😡😡😡😡

She apparently keeps getting UTI's I heard from other comments OP is a knob head (125)

Dude straaaiiight up OP has a nasty peepee if she's getting nonstop UTIs.My wife's ex gave her UTIs all the time and she really thought something was wrong with her til she stopped fricking him and stopped getting UTIs.Dude was lazy, didn't clean shit, barely cleaned himself if ever, truly pathetic.And the rest of ya, watch your mouth if you come asking why she stayed, abusive people abuse people into thinking they'll never find a way out of their situation without the abuser's help.Like my first thought is OP is a nasty little dude who's mad his gf wants him to shower or do anything that makes her life easier.

OP Q&N

Q: Did you steal some info from

A: Yes

if you are a fed PLEASE DM me

i'm at my big firm corporate girlboss job and one of my coworkers said something about grad school - i missed a deadline last month, guess that's a sore spot for me - and i just started crying. tried to hold it in but all i managed were tears silently sliding down my face. had to slip out after a minute when it didn't stop.

literally been slinking around the office and hiding in the bathroom for an hour trying to stop crying. once, i thought i was in the clear, but when i put my hand on the doorknob to the meeting room it started up again.

i'm so annoyed because i'm a totally competent person otherwise. i'm not even really ""emotional"", like i stay pretty girlboss professional eloquent deadpan all the time - which makes it even worse when i turn into a blubbery red-eyed swollen-faced mess.

all my life i've been someone who cries at the drop of a hat - in elementary school, during ballet class, at parties, etc etc. one of my exes would get so mad at me when i cried and accuse me of doing it to derail whatever stupid fight we were having and make him feel bad. i kept swearing i wasn't doing it on purpose and i tried my best not to cry but he never believed me. i do try!! i hate crying. it's embarrassing and it's a waste of my time. i'm missing an important meeting right now :( i have to go collect my laptop that's been sitting there abandoned. what do i even say? nothing? say my tummy was upset?

Good lord this woman is a MESS. Someone casually mentioned grad school and it caused her to cry for the rest of the fricking day.

thanks to @TedKaczynski for the tip

recently I read a whore justify herself with evolution, and learned that the peepee displaces other men's c*m because we're born for free love. We're whores at heart, every womyn was a frick machine until fundies put us everywhere in chains.

This is based on a few studies, here's one

Results obtained by modifying an artificial peepee suggest that the coronal ridge is an important morphological feature mediating semen displacement...

basically they made fleshlights and tested how well the plastic peepee removed semen from the tube. that's the kind of hands-on science we know and love

but think about it, does semen really stay in there long enough that "displacing" after has a huge advantage? Certainly it's useful, but how much? insemination happens pretty quickly so the lingering sperm probably isn't going to inseminate her if the ejaculation didn't. And even then the rest is fully removed in five days. So either everyone was having Aella gangbangs, the returns are diminishing, or perhaps there's an alternative explanation.

The ones I found were "Structural Integrity" and "Pleiotropy" but those are anti-climactic

With the help of my friends, I've erected a fourth, and final, theory.

The blood plunger

BLOOD is a bigger barrier to insemination than sperm I think. Since we've not always had lovey-dovey foreplay for some enjoyable, LUBRICATED s*x, I imagine vaginal trauma was more common. I.e.

After all, what big "sexual ingredient" isn't necessary at all for impregnation?

That's right, the female orgasm.

Now look, I'm not exactly happy with this conclusion, I'm not an incel I have female friends, r*pe is bad.

But I do believe I'm onto something here for a PURELY MECHANICAL QUESTION without any ethical extensions.

A question posed and answered in the spirit of Die fröhliche Wissenschaft

In short, the blood produced during s*x would prevent or severely inhibit insemination, and the peepee plunges it out.

Have I convinced you?

Now I'm not a scientist, but I do know the contact information for the real scientists who've published the original studies, and I drafted the following:

I honestly just want to bounce this idea off you guys and get some help with the draft. how well would an academic receive this

Loving your kid is not a sin, shake off the dust of any church that teaches otherwise.

Jesus said just be nice and stuff

Churches need to get back to spreading the actual message of Jesus Christ.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."

A bunch of years ago my church, which didn't have an official stance on gay relationships, had a gay choir director. He'd been there for years and was widely loved. He didn't tell anybody at church, but eventually it got out that he had a partner. A significant portion of the church demanded that he be fired. People who had prayed, laughed, and cried with him suddenly saw him as somebody deserving of nothing.

Even though he had support from church leadership, this drove him not only away from my church but away from Christianity altogether. Last I knew, he never regained his faith.

My pastor was unable to take an official stance because of hierarchical problems (later fixed, but too late) but did give a sermon about the sin of driving people away from Christ. This was not enough.

I can only hope that you do not let this horrible experience drive you from God. There are people who love you. Loving your son is not wrong. I believe that you can find another church that will treat you right.

darn imagine following the Bible's teachings, what a horrible experience

I've never understood how churches like this could think they're loving without twisting love the ways abusive parents do until it means cruelty and abuse. The Bible should be our guide for spiritual matters. Using it as a guide for matters outside the spiritual is abusing it, not respecting it. It's not a science text and it shouldn't be used as such

We shouldnt take scripture seriously because sometimes there is allegory!

The hate for trans people is growing to a crescendo, fueled by the personal anti-trans obsessions of some of history's most wealthy people, and the advantage many politicians find in stoking it. Obviously "Jesus is an obedient attack dog, kept tightly leashed by the world's wealthiest and most powerful, hating whoever they command him to hate" is absurd on the face of it, but... well, we live in an absurd era.

The (((wealthiest and most powerful))) are to blame for christians not accepting tr4nnies cutting off their peepees

Apparently they didn't read Galatians 3:28: "There is neither male nor female, for we are one in Christ". I hope you find a more accepting church!
