Dealt with almost 10 minutes of watching hopless vehicular flailing today while shopping, so you can file this under "Salty ass middle aged white guy" problems... But when I seize power and implement this it will be the Haus Mandate. Before buying ANY motor vehicle you must, at the dealership...

That's why I said they'd have to retrofit existing fabs. As opposed to Nvidia (and I THINK AMD, but not sure) who would have to build fabs from the ground up. I've literally done work in a bunny suit in a TI fab in the past. They're set up much like assembly lines and pretty modular. But...

I think there are other chip manufacturers who would be in better positions. Texas Instruments for instance, they still have fabs in a lot of places (including here in Dallas). But IIRC they would have to massively upgrade/retrofit them to do modern density chip manufacture. That was what I...

I wholly agree, but I think it should be a contingency consideration in there somewhere so that if it goes to hell, you're hedged in a way you don't have to think about other than sell the NVDA and cry over that loss. Just like I invested in URNM because I still believe that for the next 20-30...

Here's a question I've been trying to hammer out an answer to. The NVDA play is obviously around the AI chip play, and it makes complete sense. But with the political situation involving Taiwan (where NVDA makes it's chips), what is the play if chip manufacture there is no longer viable...

I think the larger flaw in all of this is that the BLS openly states that they change what is in the "basket of goods", but don't disclose what the "basket of goods" is. And over time there have been substantial changes in how the calculation was done, almost all politically motivated. It...

Spending more money than I want to admit because fuck it, I have money, on a large throw blanket of this for a certain someone's birthday in a few weeks...

Not gonna say if I am having a throw blanket of this made for someone or not.. But left to right... Bordeaux (RIP), Sugar, Bean, Buddy

It's strange how much I loved Waititi's work in WWDitS, and then in Thor:Ragnarok.... But then he made that abomination Love and Thunder, and I just can't stomach him at this point any more. It's like he got addicted to thinking his own farts smelled like roses.

In case you jackwagons didn't realize there was more than me posting on here. ;) OTOH, the aforementioned crapstorm has caused us to have to delay some of what we had planned for the anniversary. (being that we didn't have power at our house most of the week of, and this week there's been...

Yeah, morbid days when thinking of the "I need to write up a small book to make sure my wife knows everything she needs to in case I don't wake up one of these mornings..."

But you have to ask yourself... RadioShack before or after they became the "You've got questions.. we've got cel phone plans" store. 1970s-1990s Radio Shack ? Hell yes. (Shout out to my OG Battery of the Month club members!) Post 2000 radio shake? I'll pass for another options. Remember...

I'll admit that I played Borderlands 2 a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it. And I'm an old and everything...

They somehow made Moxie look like washed up no-waistline having 40 something trying desperately to spice things up to keep her hubby around.... what the ever loving hell?

Few days late for some various reasons (power outage and subsequent drama) and I take enough shit around here for mentioning her as it is but well, this will be where I do it again, so deal with it. On May 29th @Mrs. Haus and I celebrated 20 years of her being just off in the head enough to...

I hit a new plateau of old today... I started mentally keeping the tally of exactly how many people in my bloodline who were older than me are still alive. And I don't have to get off one hand to count them all.

I hear there's always money in the banana stand.....

Bring without power for the majority of last week, as I mentioned, led me to dive deep down a rabbit hole planning for the country house we're going to build, including all the power backup , solar generation, etc options. One of those that I will be employing is a technologically advanced...

I have one of those around somewhere, actually I think I have two. Just last week it was a "Doesn't matter, plug it in since you know the generator should cover 4 basic appliances" heh

We've been blessed with pets that make good long runs. Churla - Dog - died of old age at almost 21 Pooh - cat - died of cancer at 17 Bailey - dog - died of mass on her pancreas that threw her into unexpected diabetic shock at 13 Lacy - died from complication of spinal degeneration (long haired...

This is Bordeaux... 15 year old random stuff mix breed. Adopted from shelter by @Mrs. Haus and I when she was around 8 months old. Spoilering the part you may or may not want to read...

I was given a 79 Monte Carlo as a hand my down when my grandfather bought my grandmother a new ride. It survived almost 2 years before my overly adventurous driving style outdid it's durability.... But by that point at least I build resistance to my own stupid impulses that my second car...

NEVER get an even remotely good looking or new car for a kids first car. I thought that was basic enough rule 1 type shit that this video would be the norm, not on twitter. ;) In my family the assumption is that they will ALWAYS total their first car, usually within a year. I think as long as...

So.... In Texas you can get a title along with your name on your drivers license. I have to go in and get mine this year because it's been so long they want a new photo anyways. I have three possible titles I could use, two from the lovely folks at the Universal Life Church of Modesto...

NGL , those look like they'd be basic prints. If you end up needing more drop me a line, those have to be on an STL site somewhere. I know all my Ryobi brackets (which I printed for myself) were....

I find it adorable that the US thinks it will have a long term or really any significant way to stop countries like China from acquiring chips to do AI with... Especially since all China has to do it reassert ownership of a certain island "nation" next to it. heh I have said and still believe...

This experience has made me go learn a lot..... Yes, I'm seriously debating an interlock and better generator here at the house. But also this house has an older and horrible panel which I need to replace first, and the wife and I don't plan on living in this house more than another year or...

OK, so now going on 4 days without power I am slipping further and further into the rabbit hole of energy calculations... As mentioned elsewhere , I use the Ryobi 40v batteries for some of my lawn equipment (mower, string trimmer, and the recently acquired leave/crap vac/mulcher). They have...

In her car the it's in the fuel tank, AND the fuel tank sits above the rear axle. So there's a ton of work on that end. More labor than anything. I looked at doing it myself (I've changed out fuel pumps before) and when I saw the level of action it would require it quickly became a "has to be...

Yeah, that should be a good test. If the movie sticks to the Deadpool formula of "Give the fans what you know they want, and make it gratuitous while you do it" and see how it fares. I just don't like to throw the problems under the now all encompassing blanket of "They went too woke/DEI/the...

He's another goalie who has fallen in for that reverse cowgirl or whatever they're calling the fashionable new position.... The Stars are just lucky that we have one of the biggest goalies possible outside.. well.. you know... OTOH : Otter has his own Anime theme and opening.. I will also...

The AC unit has an "eco mode" which apparently is a lower power draw, lower output mode. It's ran all last summer on the same circuit with one of the fridges and the freezer, which has a 15 amp breaker on it, so I figured those three things together are under 15 amps. But you're right, I...

I am a simple dwarf of simple tastes.. what can I say.... And I have a wife who knows how to cook....

No backfeeding, just plugging shit in. I've been debating getting this house wired so I could do a backup generator on the actual wiring of the house, but I don't think we're going to be living here more than another year or so.....

This one has two outlet blocks (two sockets on each outlet, CGFI), and a 15a breaker for each one... It also has a 220 socket on it, which tells me it's running two rails.... hopefully
