A I benefitted the guy who bought broken shit . B 390 was not out at the time when I bought it , 290 Xs were still being used for mining , and I was not purchasing the 970 for a gaming purpose . I had a decision between the 750 Ti and the 970 for the Maxwell architecture ' s update to NVENC , the actual performance of the card was secondary . Due to the improvements in the lower end hardware , I stand by my decision as it was the more reasonable of the two . <| sep |> Someone living in a studio cannot afford a mini split . <| sep |> Blacking out to avoid the pain of tonight ' s game <| sep |> Polyester is just the material . Try something like these knit socks ? s o c k s h o c k e y s o c k s a d u l t c cmhockeysockssolidcolorsr . htmlEdit I don ' t know how familiar you are , but hockey socks tubes of material that go all the way up the leg , and over the shin pad , i . e . different from standard athletic socks are typically either made of a traditional thick knit material e . g . as shown in the link , or a thinner mesh style . I ' m not certain what the thinner mesh style is made of , but I know that the knit ones are made of polyester , so perhaps your stepbrother just meant these ones ?
