    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    We did it for several years, bringing in a dozen or more deer a week from the end of season till bucks started dropping their antlers and we couldn't tell buck from doe at night under a spotlight. But the local food bank in a town of 30k said stop, it was offensive to people down on their luck...

    The Astronomy Thread

    I know there are adapters to fit a phone and some of those produce some good shots of the moon and some of the planets through a dob. I have seen some pics from an iphone and they work out great. I know everyone scoffs at this idea. But a planisphere or a smart phone app, a cheap pair of...

    It happens here. Mostly because someone having a cow butchered or side of beef butchered is either local or bought it from someone local they get what they asked for. But a lot of deer are processed for people that drop it off and never come back till the day they pick it up some time later and...

    I've built a number of computers going back 20 years or more. I gotta tell you just trying out some of the popular LED apps made building a computer look like elementary school. They definitely go for the most difficult for the smallest result theme. At first I just wanted to be able to turn...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Had to look it up. A dob mounted scope will not have the tracking to take deep sky pics. You can take moon, some plants like Saturn and such. Fitting a camera, either smartphone or a CCD scope to that is beyond my thing. WWW.cloudynights.com is a great place to look up stuff under various...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Corporations are not there to employ people. They are there to make money for share/stake holders. If they want otherwise go to work for a private company or become self employed. Sucks, but that is the way things work and have for a very long time. If corporations couold make the same profit...

    Just because they ask for certain cuts to be ground doesn't mean you have to give them that cut ground. They won't know the difference. It's pretty common here with things like deer someone will say they are just going to make sausage and want it ground in with something else like beef or hog...

    Lot of shit with subs now. I was looking for a program to control fan speed and LEDs in a computer. One of them the LED part was free but the fan control was a monthly sub. Umm no.

    Just a joke. I don't drink. I am retired at 55 besides health problems I would be retired now anyway. Mostly due to gambling, not the kind sitting in a casino. Buying stuff that can have zero value for some time or none at all forever. Then having it pay off largely. A lot of stuff is gambling...

    Everyone knows the winning move is gambling instead of investing. :emoji_smile:

    Back to the drawing board. In before a glass company pays someone to hack them to drum up business.

    Just noticed my Arctic MX-7 thermal paste has a website to check to make sure it's not counterfit. Seemed odd.
