Almost as if part of the game if not the entire game is being tailored around poeple that play the game for a living.

Haven't had a trick or treater in probably 30 years. Too rural, too long a driveway, locked gate doesn't help. So I post this from last year.

When someone slaps you with a 5 foot long board is their footware a big concern? "No officer I didn't notice what color hair, height, clothes or anything else, but he was bare foot." I would have shot him but seemed pretty unfair to shoot a barefoot guy in the woods.

When I went to school right before the last semester than required a course of 4 credit hours that was taken with nothing else that semester. Lot of people changed concentrations to environmental science cause it was easier and all their pervious course work fit it. No idea how far into their...

More bad news. River falls much further the water intakes for the 100 or so chemical plants between New Orleans and Baton Rouge are going to have "issues". It rained a bunch in MO but needs a lot more. In the past I did a lot of work when the water was low on docks for the plants since they get...

2/3 of the country needs rain. Now a 2,000 barge backup on the river which I'm sure is helping supply issues. Corp of Engineers is building a 1,000 foot long underwater dam to keep saltwater from flowing up the river. Corp of Engineers dredging in a dozen places. River bank in Baton Rouge they...

Anniversary today. October 19, 1987. Black Monday. A number of world markets dropped 20%, a few 30%.

In the camp of "games have to improve" to drive demand.

MS River valley really needs rain before traffic on the MS river to the gulf is cloased including the intracoastal crossing of the MS river. Found this cam of the river in Vicksburg, MS which is 150 miles north of Baton Rouge, only one I could find. Baton Rouge is much lower. Normally there is...

Sell, Mortimer! sell!!

No rain today and none north of us. Need a tropical storm to come up the river or something. This close to the river shutting down to traffic ><

'73 Chrysler 4 door land yacht. Wasn't bad, mostly rural dirt roads. Could get a learners permit then at 14. Kinda surprised I was tall enough to reach the pedals at age 13 it was huge. I remember laying on the back shelf. Drivers ed had a Buick Lesabre that had dual controls. I don't remember...

Everywhere I've ever lived 1/2 ton trucks tow a lot. Boats for the most part. From 30 minutes to 2 hours fishing in small boats to offshore center consoles. I lived 15 minutes from the lake and had a bass boat. No way I would use a EV to launch it. Not to mention the big tournament weekend that...

Might rain tomorrow finally. Flood stage of the MS river in Baton Rouge is 45 feet and I've seen it up to 51-52 feet where the water flows up under the levee. Now the river stage is 4.3 feet and falling. River traffic from New Orleans up to Memphis and above is slowing to a crawl. Most of the...

I expect a blowout today in the SEC.

My sometimes significant other is an Auburn fan so things are right in the conference tonight.

Can skip a stone across water, briefly.

NASA at work. NASA had it's day, that day is over. Pre NASA was the NACA which was to promote aeronautics and such. NASA should move away from a production/mission role. Out of focus bad pic before good cell phones. Pics of a patch from the shuttle that crashed in 2003 into TX and LA. Was...

Nope. I just read the article about XoM shutting down fracking for now. Was two subcontractors. Not at the same time. All the article said was incidents, two subcontractors in the basin.

Crude oil is up. However in other fantastic news, Exxon has put a stop order on fracking after a death and an injury to contractors that were fracking in the basin.

Looks like it's going to be pushing a shitload of water up the coast and into any low lying areas which means a lot of area in FL. Talked to someone that lives near Tampa that was in Italy on vacation and they got a flight back. I'm not sure I wouldn't have just stayed in Italy.

Didn't know till today in MS on the gulf coast we're under a red flag fire danager warning which is odd.

I don't mind hanging off a smoke stack hundreds of feet up without a harness. But when they start energizing a process after a shutdown/emergency and have hundreds of LOTO tags to go through I always make my way to the cafeteria for a while for "reasons".

My grandfather was born in 1895 and had bad allzheimers at the end. He made more sense than Biden. He used to go around telling everyone the Mexicans were going to overtake TX without ever firing a shot.

No idea, her husband is in charge of a large commerical building company that does stuff for companies like Target, strip malls and shit. She has family in the Florida parishes of Louisiana, not far from Baton Rouge she could go to if she wanted. I never went there in FL, know her husband as...

They try to make Soy sound like it's healthier than other shit. Soybeans are one of the heaviest and most often sprayed crop there is. See them being sprayed from the air several times a year. Until recently I ate a lot of organic stuff, not from the store. Purple hull peas someone down the...

Friend in Cape Coral is staying. She's from LA and like a lot of people think they rather stay and have their house destroyed and possibly stay with what is left than leave and come back to the aftermath of the people than the storm itself. My sister was on a cruise out of Mobile, AL in Cozumel...

Jupiter closest it's been in 50 years. Starts in the southeast after dark and by midnight south, high in the sky. No missing it, very very bright. With 10 power binos I was able to pick out 3 moons with them on my tripod. I did not break out one of my telescopes. Brightest thing in the sky...

I'm really up on things. Just found out the college I went to is no longer in the same conference. Only reason I found out was they beat someone over the weekend 98-0. Was Southland. Stephen F. Austin State University Lumberjacks now part of the Western Athletic Conference. The only team that...

Stats came out. 44 trillion of isk was spent on plex.

I really don't play much anymore. Saturday CCP started a "sale" so that using plex to sub cost 300 plex instead of the normal 500. For a short period plex price went from 5 million per plex to 8 million. Then down to 5.5m quckly. The volume was off the charts on sales on the market for plex...

No idea. The pandemic royally screwed up prices on vehicles. I have two trucks and I got an offer for both for more than I paid for them new. One a 2008 Z71 with 60k miles on it that was my driver around "town" and on the property here. The other is a 2000 F250 diesel with 200k miles that I use...

Everything takes power to make and power to ship, warehouse, sell etc.. Ooops.

Ray tracing was the big thing for the 3xxx series and that was kind of meh depending on which game you were playing.

How many people skipped the 2xxx series cards from 1xxx and then into 3xxx. Guessing some could skip the 4xxx.

Remember when Nvidia releaesd reduced hash rate cards and soon after the miners got drivers that allowed them to mine on those cards. Rumor was the drivers came from Nvidia or someone(s) at Nvidia. Now they act like they didn't see the cliff coming with the etherium change.

Before I sold my house and property just recently this was my $1,000 beater to move shit around the property. It lasted a long long time and made a couple of 400 mile trips which kind of blew my mind. I bought it sight unseen and my parents picked it up and kept it at the house till I went over...

Being falsely accused of rape can cost everything you own.
