BTW, this COVID thing is no something I am enjoying at all, and I'm probably less impacted than most.

I bought a Dell Aleinware 17 R5 last summer and have been very satisfied with it

Got an XPS for the wife's attorney stuff. I think it's now the most powerful computer in the house. I built a lawyerly workstation with dual monitors and set one vertical. Hoping that saves wear and tear on "adult" eyes trying to read emails and text all day long.

Since it's located in the cove underneath a full sized loft bed, I hung a green sheet behind it. Lets me use all sorts of silly backgrounds whilst doing Zoom meetings!

Wow, I had no idea you were a hardcore gamer.  Way to go, oldtimer!

My in-laws bought my son an Alienware Aurora R9 for Christmas, and I hooked him up with an 25" Alienware gaming monitor that I got for free because of my... you know... connections. :)  That, next to his Dell P2715Q (27" 4k) monitor, gives him a MUCH slicker dual monitor setup than my own.

We tried the new burger place for lunch, it's a beautiful day here.  It was good, but a burger is $12, that is a double with bacon.

Killer Burger would be about $8 and just as good I think.  The new place JUST opened last week.  Sam's of SF.

I realize the alienware is a top gaming machine but I dont play games too often

I just wanted performance under the hood and this computer has it in spades

Yup it's a great machine.  A few of our executives actually use that as their "executive jewelry" rather than an XPS.

Man for a hamburger to be worth $12 the waitress would have to be topless

Yeah, not even then for me.  I was giving them some business for obvious reasons, but the wife said Killer Burger was just as good and Farm Burger is good also.

The problem with this place near us is parking and it's packed all the time.  They have a decent beer selection, like 6 or so on tap.  Their burgers are as good as I have had out except on Wagyu burger I had at a higher end steak house.

I have a major hankering for some Fox Bros. brisket right now, especially on a day like this.

$8 isn't bad, even here, if it comes with taters or a side of some sort

The sides are extra at most of the better burger places here.  There was a kind of burger war happening but it had not caused more inducements.

Farm Burger is pretty good IMHO and they have $4 decent beers.  We can walk there easily, it's on a level below the Whole Foods.  Their service needs a bit of refinement I think.  It's a bit confused at times.  Killer Burger obviously has experienced servers who know how to get it done.

I've mentioned before I've been largely disappointed in the Q around here.  There are 3 places folks rave about I have not tried, but Fox Bros ranks high on most lists and the place was always crowded.  It's not particularly close to us.  The closest place is Fat Matt's and it's pretty mediocre for me, but they have live jazz at night and are crowded.  We have City BBQ which we had in Cincy and was probably the best place in Cincy, it's reliably decent, but not near us.  Maybe the good places are out in the 'burbs where the people live.  We have about half a million inside the city limits and 11-12x outside, maybe the largest different in a metro are inside versus out.

Folks also talk about ITP and OTP, Inside the Perimeter.  We live very ITP.
