Bars aren't that expensive unless you go to those types.  I usually enjoy dive bars because the burgers are better, at least in the Portland area they are.  The foodie mentality around here hit the bar/pub scene several years ago.  As for strip clubs at least they have live women to talk to.  Better then virtual ones unless you have a camera/mic which I don't - I don't care for the virtual dynamic.  Probably have to get a set soon simply because of the changing work dynamic.

I don't care for either alcohol or strip clubs. Then again, those tend to be more social activities and I tend to be more on the introverted side.

This world cares for no one. We are the only ones who care.

I don't go to the bright and cheery bars/clubs.  I tend to go to the dark, dank ones and sit by myself in a corner booth/table.  And just watch everyone else at the bars and the dancers at the clubs.  To quote Peter Sellers character (Chance) in "Being There" - "I like to watch.".

Hey hey! And it comes in cycles here, people come in they get active a few leave and then it refreshes. I'm Almost always around but usually just kind of watching and keeping order around :P

Heh.  If peeps will put up with me I will be around forever.

New as in "brand new" or a used one?  Graphics cards are almost impossible to get unless you get an OEM type currently because of all the miners....  or unless you pay over 1g for something that is worth maybe $250.  Or just get lucky I guess.  Or so I here.  Not in the market for one currently so haven't followed their current availability.
