    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    Think of the money he saved on a lifetime of not paying someone for a haircut.

    Desktop Computers

    How long before when you buy 32gb of memory or more they throw in a free case or motherboard since memory prices are cutting into sales of stuff to build a computer, or at least that's what I read.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    I caught a few minutes of a stream some time ago. Two people were playing together doing randomized encounters. It was done right. They cranked up the cable car from the monastary in the mountain pass. Standing there waiting to get on. Up came the car with a number of enemies on it, wasn't...

    Soccer 2022–2023 (EPL, La Liga, etc)

    Had a notice on my USPS tracking there may be delays due to the world cup events and their impact on shipping. Seems like that was wishful thinking. The small town near me had a guy that made the US olympic team for soccer several years ago. From the news report I don't think anyone had heard...

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    Are you going to name the dentists Billy Cannon? He was a football player who won the Heisman. Became an orhtodontist, went to prison for counterfitting, got out and for years he was the dentist at Angola prison. Trump gave him a pardon recently though he's been dead for a while. I mean there...

    Same with naptha (lighter fluid). 50 years ago it was a pretty common thing people had handy.

    Same. I can't really recall seeing him since 1990 or so.

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

    Bring it on, this side of the house is wired for 220. Of course I'd probably have to put in a new AC unit just for this end of the house too. Might as well make a home run AI data site. I did see Nvidia or someone made the comment that was the next step distributed AI data sites in your own...

    Investing General Discussion

    I'm trying very hard to have diamond hands on the VLO stock I bought before the Iran conflict started. Up 58.9% year to date and up most days even when oil takes a hit. It's well outside of my normal long term stuff in my index funds, I just had some extra funds. My entire portfolio is index...

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

    Figured by now the power and signal would be on separate connectors. Make the power a super heavy connector similar to what you showed and small signal connector. You can get a 220 volt welder from tractor supply off the shelf that you can plug into the right outlet and be good to go and they...

    At field station, summer long remote campus adjacent to the national forest the professors would say make sure you do a tic check each night with your room mate (joking). Damn glad my girlfriend went as well. I have never picked up a tic in all my time outdoors hunting, forestry work, working...

    Imagine Monday being someomne that took the $ .50 per hour raise years ago instead of stock options at SpaceX.

    Investing General Discussion

    I'm probably way off, I'm not buying SpaceX but I thought you had to put in your intent to buy ahead of time and then could buy at 10am today. I did call Fidelity once after hours around 9pm and got a real person that spoke english and they fixed the issue with my account in minutes. Was super...

    YouTube's War on Ad Blockers

    Polish up on your smoke signal ability. I don't know if it's because I use an ad blocker but youtube lately has become almost worthless. So slow, several links just take so long I go on to something else. I was clicking around youtube trying to see what was up. Apparently my channel has 21...
