Will OcUK open 7/7 (Sunday) for Ryzen 3000 launch?

You know, this is the first time I've realised the Ryzen 3000 and Navi launch is on the same date as the 7/7 2005 bombings. Bit unfortunate.

And the same day that Sprint-Nextel and NASCAR announce NASCAR Nextel Cup Series renamed the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series in 2008

Not really, they are american company and 7/7 isn't a 'thing' for most countries other than the UK.

Is it even a thing in the UK? Not been a **** like.
If you ask 10 people in the UK what happened on 7/7 How many do you think will know?.

Fair point. You are probably right.

It was horrific but it's hardly our 9/11

Anyone over 30 will know what 7/7 is

Same as most people over 30 will know what 9/11 is, in the context of history

I completely forgot about it. People move on given enough time.

Nope. Gouged

AStaley · 25 Jun 2019 at 14:27

Surely if it's World Chocolate Day (which apparently is an actual thing), it's the prices will be "gorged"?

Fluffybob · 25 Jun 2019 at 14:36

It's also my Birthday

mumble mumble........years young

chocolate makes everything so much better so the cpu prices won't matter as much

Or morbidly appropriate given AMD are dropping a bomb on Intel.

I'll show myself out...

CuriousTomCat · 25 Jun 2019 at 21:07

It's also the date that a UFO crash landed in Roswell, New Mexico on 7/7/47
