RAM was damage how will she afford second one. She should use her body to shield RAM.

But how do Americans live with cardboard walls.

"Or a gaming pc, apparently."

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 5 points 3 hours ago

Lol. This loser graduated from "the dog ate my homework" to "the dog shot my gun and almost murdered my neighbor".

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 9 points 6 hours ago

Angelbabyzz now has the much more pleasant problem of shopping for a replacement PC with a $3,500 budget

So she'll be able to get some low budget 16GB machine, probably without a video card because 3500 dollars will only get you so far these days

[–] nieceandtows@programming.dev 6 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Saved the owner's life, but at what cost??

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.org 2 points 3 hours ago

RAM, especially... Very high for sure

[–] eleitl@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 hours ago

Tell me you're american without telling me you're american.

[–] Wispy2891@lemmy.world 13 points 10 hours ago

Am I wrong or this article looks completely written by a LLM? The way it always repeats the redditor username is so weird.

Articles like this are a valid reason to choose an username like 'igargleexpiredcum'

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 23 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

This is happened twice now. What an utterly stupid country.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 10 hours ago

Twice recently.

The other time was not the first time

[–] Itdidnttrickledown@lemmy.world 4 points 11 hours ago

Anything that happens or is done more than once is tradition.

[–] plz1@sh.itjust.works 22 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

But was the GPU OK? That's gold right there.

[–] modus@lemmy.world 5 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It looks like it's just some of the RAM and the mobo. The obviously-AI article says they got $3500. The Insurance probably views the whole unit as one item and pays for it all. Unless the owner is a dumbass and says "oh, just pay me for the parts that were damaged and I'll salvage the rest."

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

I would sue the hell out of that neighbor, not just for the PC and the the hole in the wall. And he should be made to turn in all weapons, as there is this incident is proof that he is not up to the responsibility of gun ownership.

[–] modus@lemmy.world -3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)
[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

The dog should turn in all the weapons in that case.

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

Please! Think of the GPU!

And oh... The RAM.. that poor fucking RAM never had a chance... Did it have a family?

[–] Loce@lemmy.world 51 points 22 hours ago (5 children)

They shot his ram... In this economy? Fuck man

Well yea, the motherboard clearly says “military grade”

[–] Cocodapuf@lemmy.world 3 points 10 hours ago

So that's what that means. I always wondered.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 24 points 21 hours ago

They're gonna have to sure that idiot neighbor for the $10,000 that RAM costs.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 32 points 22 hours ago (9 children)

Where I live, anyone who owns a firearm is required to keep it in a locked gun safe when not in use, and there are strict rules around transporting a firearm as well.

They cannot be left unattended in a vehicle, and they absolutely cannot, under any circumstances, be left loaded.

The fact that Americans have loaded firearms just kicking around in their house is utterly insane.

[–] zerofk@lemmy.zip 10 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

But it was in use. By the dog.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 5 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Presumably a good boy, so who was he trying to stop?

[–] OR3X@lemmy.world 4 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Probably a bad boy... With a gun.

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 3 points 5 hours ago

This is the worst news ever.

[–] eleitl@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 hours ago

Where I live, you need artillery to shoot through a house wall. Plus, the part about gun safes, not storing loaded, and ammo stored and locked separately.

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 6 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Where I live, walls are not made of cardboard and would prbably have stopped (at least) anything up to and including a 5.56 mm round.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 1 points 31 minutes ago (1 children)

5.56 will punch through even thin steel plate, hitting a stud may stop it, but unless you have concrete walls, I'm calling bullshit on that.

[–] Schmuppes@lemmy.today 1 points 18 minutes ago

Of course they're concrete, unless the house was built before WW 2.

[–] HiTekRedNek@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Hey, so, as she's being charged for it, the fact is she was negligent because it wasn't properly secured....

So, uhh, what are you saying?
