If you watch the trailer apparently a big portion of the movie happens "inside Vision's mind" where he has a virutal house, with people representing apparently different system processes, all looking like humans, including Vision himself (I'm sure Paul Bettany thanks God for that favor). Since...

This is the REAL closure we need after No Way Home... Ignore the translation for maximum video impact ;)

Summed up in the wisdom I learned in my early 30's... "Time in the market always beats timing the market"

We're talking about a racing series where the rule is the car can't cost over $500... Although now I wonder how big a hit Cash for Clunkers did for this whole sport.

Now it even has me shopping... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1021309083816205/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post&tracking=browse_serp%3Accc62f3f-fa82-4115-b506-83739cd42aa4

I could imagine with the number of us in Texas pulling together team wouldn't be hard... And give an excuse to have a car named "The Rickshaw"

I believe the reason he could wield Mjolnir was the fact that he's not actually a living being, ergo the spell on the hammer couldn't judge him as worthy or not. Same reason Mjolnir left on an elevator could go up and down and not just slam the elevator to the first floor. With all the CGI...

NGL, I enjoyed the trailer, and that is very probably a first for a Disney+ Marvel series. I also get the balance. He has to sort the shit in his head so he can sort the shit IRL. I can run with that. I've been a huge James Spader fan for a long time and it looks like they're shooting for an...

Yeah, I remember going in to see it knowing what I know. Versus Mrs Haus and a lot of our friends who went along who ... well... really didn't. I even tried to prep those who would get the reference with "Just know, this is going to be the "The Empire Strikes Back" of this series....but worse."

As I mentioned a ways back... Magneto wasn't always a Holocaust survivor. THat was reconned into his character in the early 80's in the Christ Claremont era IIRC. That's incorrect. In his original incarnation (No religious/holocaust backstory) he was still a mutant supremacist, ran the...

In my home lab I actually managed to get Qwen 3.8:27b running on a system with two nvidia cards and 20GB of video ram between them..... well... "running" might need to be in the air bunnies. The response speed on it was like talking to someone who was smart, but suffering from a somewhat...

Yeah, my former company has had what I'd call one really lackluster year in the last 5, and I was also in the ESPP, but not through the 401k. My company didn't offer their ESPP as a 401K option. Instead they just did two buys a year at the lowest price from either the first or last day, then...

Make no mistake... most of that is that company I recently left and their stock. Meaning it's mostly that as it was vesting and piling up I was lazy/hadn't thought about it until just recently, but then the company stock has just gone fucking nuts this year so I guess so far (assuming I get...

@Cad threw a post over in, of all places, the middle east politics thread about how the market has been doing well, which made me do a quick "What's my performance YTD" Interesting highlights... Crypto -- Down almost 30%, harvested some losses, fuck ETH, moved everything to BTC to see if I...

No penalties. I did it in the past, and since I just changed employers I'm about to do it again. There's a tiny bit of hassle, but if you're combining 401ks into the one at your current employer the the 401k provider usually offers assistance. (At my new gig they literally call it "Rollover...

So, update on my little rant from Mid July (TLDR : I hit the burnout wall combined with organizational frustration with my employer, had to take PTO to try to recalibrate). Warning, I'm going to say some things that will definitely be "first world problems" here, so I apologize to any who are...

@Nabi , With all due respect and admiration, might I direct you to my most recent video thread post : https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/the-video-thread.121/post-5448421 Unrelated :

I have a Dream Router and have pretty much loved it. A few quirks and learning curve, but that's specific to me. For years I have worked for a, let's just say, very large cybersecurity vendor. And part of that is that I've had a small enterprise class firewall protecting my home network...

When the fairy tale creatures invade his home.. Shrek has a new swamp to move into!

"Daddy.... Why does mommy need you to being more boom boom in the bed room?"

Yeah, there are a few services around that can handle it and deliver refill service for me in Dallas. But I also need to acquire the tanks themselves. My little metalcasting hobby can run through a lot of gas when I really get into things.

I mentioned up earlier the testing I originally did with the "big umbrella" approach. It notably reduced the temp of air coming out on the inside. From an engineering standpoint it would probably be explained by reducing the ambient outdoor coil temp means the compressor gets more compression...

That reminds me..... I need to acquire me a couple of those nicer sized ProPain tanks myself. One for generator standby, and one for my metal casting area for furnace. And yeah, there's a ton of conflicting opinion. So I just decided it wasn't THAT complicated and ran my own testing. In my...

I just need to get this person to come start posting here so I can stop being the middle of a poster centipede of WTF videos...

I think the real take away of this chart is... This bull market is behaving in line with other bull markets. As you mentioned the unknown variable is how long this bull will run, and I would like to subscribe to the newsletter of whoever can predict that and prove out why. This is actually an...

Looking at the crazy second weekend numbers (Behind only Force Awakens and Endgame for second weekends) and how it's already at $1.67 Billion worldwide I wonder if Marvel is actually considering that it might outgross Doomsday?

I'm waiting to see how it handles fall winds. If there's a weak point it's probably that the frame of PVC connectors is just pushed together, held by pressure. If that comes apart, I have some purple PVC cement to throw at that problem. I know the big generic patio umbrella solution was...

I promptly move my bitcoin to a proper self-custody wallet.... Seed phrase stored securely on a 3d printed plate (although I'm going to cast it in aluminum soon). I'm sure that even though BTC is slow to evolve , and lightning is very limited, at some point proper options will exist for...

Sure, everybody loves the great deals on crap made in China, but how many really know why we celebrate?

So I have reached a kinda sad conclusion today.... I went into Alts (i.e. things other than BTC) because younger, more optimistic, more naive Haus believed that we were going to really see the emergence of a new digital financial system free of the traditional banks and governments. I not...

OK. Tiny home project for the weekend time. I realized a few years back that there is some honest truth in "If you keep the outside portion of your central AC cooler, it's more efficient cooling the house". For the past few years I've accomplished this by jerry rigging a large shade umbrella...

No, it's not. But I'd like to get it done soon, and right now "soon" in Texas would mean doing this on days where the high temp is hitting 105. I thought about firing up the old system and just troubleshooting it too...

Wow... so I got my "Shit costs more now.. YO!" moment today. There's a long dormant/dead sprinkler system under my lawn at Chez Haus. It hasn't been turned on and run in over 15 years. (had some issues, and rather than fix those I decided to just start using one of those tractor sprinklers...

My question would be to what degree would be benefit from it's NVMe bus being on the card instead of across a PCIE interface, and how fast that can actually roll. Versus rolling an MoE model where it only loads a subset of parameters as needed and offloads the rest elsewhere (other video cards...

If this is true... it could get me to update/upgrade some cards here at Chez Haus...
