    Weather

    We've had that over the years with the various floods and hurricanes. It's like carnies that follow storms, doing roofs and cleaning up trees/limbs etc. Some are OK and the others grifters following the money and looking for elderly and others to make them marks. We've got three or four tree...

    I just bought a bunch of unnecessary junk I need to return but I had one of these and some other toys in my cart. Soon my dear, soon...

    Weather

    The panic here in Houston is ridiculous. People are still completely shell shocked from the Great Freeze of 2021. Stores, even HEB, are out of everything. The really bad news is supposedly there is another one coming next weekend, although how bad yet to be seen.

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

    I saw that. There is going to be a not a bust but a transition, and corps are going to probably be getting a national security bailout on this one. AI isn't going away but hopefully this sagging of the whole bitcoin style will give way.

    I love technology and the Internet but there is something to be said for Agent Smith's speech as he interrogates Morpheus in The Matrix:

    I have seen DM live more than any other band. Staring in 1988, we would regularly go to most shows in Texas: later when I could afford it we'd get seats in the first 5 rows. I last went to a show in 2014. After 2014 ticket prices just outstripped what I thought it was worth to sit up front: In...

    Supremely underrated Carpenter film. Super thought provoking for me, not in the way the storyline of the movie unfolds but rather potentially what we experienced as interaction with Divinity and Evil, spirituality could actually be spirits interacting with us in the material plane at the...

    Path of Exile 2

    No idea on the sound issue but would imagine its game/code related if you don't experience it anywhere else. Those Abyss top end bosses with the big beams are MFers; I started adding them to my maps with Precursors but reconsider on super juiced maps or Deadly Bosses, etc. I get the same...

    Path of Exile 2

    And its not the people at the top, or even the middle crushed; its the casual people who relied on the market, or dabbled. I know people with high end temples still making 40+ Div/11+ Perfect Div? (is that even a thing? I have no idea) a run, with 1000+ Div of gear and 800+ Div in their stash...

    Currency inflation because of the Temple is CRAZY. Trying to buy a +2 spell skills staff for my level 15-20 plant druid? Mine you, this is to upgrade one I already have, I crafted myself Starts out at 55-200Ex, quickly scales to a 1Div plus. I played my 85 Titan to T15 and 16 maps last league...
