Lab-grown rocks and fewer weddings have put a huge damper on the market. On the bright side, a big dazzler is now affordable for many

      What a time to be alive … diamond prices are crashing while GPUs keep getting more expensive.

        Are you saying that GPUs are a girl’s best friend?

          If someone proposed to me with a high-end GPU I think that would seal the deal honestly

            You just know there are going to be proposals with 5090s.

            And you open the box and it is an intel GPU.

            No doubt in my mind that Silicon > Carbon.

          I went with a 1kg collar last time, so I’m likely a terrible person to ask. Wasn’t my intent, but it turns out that much steel is really heavy.

            Not much point to a collar you forget is there

              I mean, that’s a very valid point. She still wears it eight years after the divorce because her “neck felt wrong without it.”

        Not gonna lie; I would be in favor of giving a ring with a GPU attached on it rather than a diamond.
