obvious answer is to water cool your house lol.

As I'm not a big gamer, kind of curious to see that lesser cards offer and price. No idea if the increases touted for the top tier cards will scale some for the lower cards.

Total now from the hurricane. 20 deaths. The one group of carbon monoxide poisoning. Large number from falling trees. 2 from heat related issues and from the liast were all 60+. Kind of surprised not more so far considering Lake Charles is right on the water/marsh. Some of the Antifa group that...

LOL the idiocy continues. LSU had a press conference showing their new tech to keep players from getting the virus during games. Fan made into the helmet. Shit you not. Sure the virus kills, but only the weak ones.

Haven't looked in a while but they come in a variety of models from only a little more than a regular card to a lot more than a regular gpu.

Obviously don't follow my advice. I was offered a job to be the #4 person at a very small company by Jim Bernhard. I kept telling people it would be the next Enron they were gobbling up companies left and right every 5 minutes. I showed him...oh wait. Became a Fortune 500 company before they...

TSLA is in the ballpark of some private companies for what they actually profit. Not even public. Shit's crazy. In my lifetime has been a huge shift from companies that paid out dividends to those that drive up the stock price for the sake of "market share". This is in a whole new world.

That's why the disc drives open so you can use it as a holder for a cool beverage. Right?

Not in the computer industry at all. I would take a rough guess of the money they would lose if locked out forever. Then figure a percentage of that. Even a small percent. Just like I charge a shitload more for the dinkiest structures when it's stopping a turnaround with a 1,000 guys standing...

I-55 in MS this morning.

Local standing timber price is going to fall off a cliff price wise. Happened in previous hurricanes and straight line wind events. All that "salvage". Mark my words, someone will get shot over getting some of the downed timber. Happens every time. One carbon monoxide death was someone in Texas...

Death toll 14, 1 from drowning, 5 tree fell on them, 8 from crabon monoxide. Apparently a family of Vietmanese shrimpers took shelter with someone and they died from the generator. Friend that stayed at the hospital through it never lost cell coverage which seems odd. My grandmother lives...

Lot of trucks for a town that size even 100% gone. Lake Charles is 75k. Sulphur and westlake are suburbs but they're smaller than Lake Charles. Here they had a bunch from TN at the hurricane evacuation center, wal mart parking lot, the mall and everything else to park. It's right off I-55 on...

Nevermind, tried search on eq.magelo.com and it gave an error. Later it worked.

Just a few trucks staged in Sulphur. Goes on and on and on. They had a bunch staged here on the MS/LA line on I-55. They had the entire town full, the mall, walmart parking lot, the special hurricane center lot. I think they left to head toward Lake Charles before landfall. From the signs on the...

https://people.com/music/woman-convicted-giving-john-belushi-fatal-heroin-dose-dies/ Cathy Smith, the woman who injected John Belushi with drugs that ended up killing him, has died. She was 73. Smith dated Lightfoot for several years in the 1970s and was the inspiration behind the musician's...

I'll stick to college baseball. Even though LSU has won 5 national championships the most you get as a player is 1/2 scholarship. My moms internist held the record for most SEC homeruns until two years ago. Then went on to medical school. If they go BLM I guess I'm totally done with sports.

Yeah listened to the news conference today about the water issues. Oddly enough my friend that works at one of the hospitals and stayed had pics of his house and it came out undamaged. Not sure what community it is in. From the looks it's an upscale rural area in about a $600k or more house, he...

Good idea. I've never known someone even remotely that got killed in a lovers spat.

LSU Football team protesting on campus for BLM. As much as I love to tailgate and go to games nothing would please me more than them to quickly hussle to learn a new valuable phrase. "You want fries with that?"

Customer of mine offered a brand new Intel 9700F that was on a prebuilt that they salvaged. Never been used. I know it can't be overclocked and has no GPU. I don't normally overclock and the lack of a GPU really wouldn't matter. Any other drawbacks. I don't even think it was the for the company...

Friend that stayed at the hospital in Lake Charles said he made it ok. Made it to his house and his house came out of it ok as well. Guess a miracle. His wife and kids went to Baton Rouge for the storm.

Chlorine leak in Lake Charles under control finally. Shelter in place still for those within a mile I think. Fighting a lot of smaller fires at the plants and refineries.

Chemical industry safety board has been on a kick as of late to have procedures in place to handle such stuff. I think it was Harvey at a plant near Beaumont they put a bunch of chemicals in trailers to get them off the ground. Then moved the trailers when the water came up and it was above the...

Friends parents stayed in natchitoches and the eye went right over them. No word yet. My friend is having class today in Dallas, she was ticked they wouldn't come stay with her. Grandmother lives about 100 miles west of natchitoches and her power is out. Said it was cool so she just opened up...

Lake Charles heavy petro chemical town. Isle of Capri casino boat wedged under I-110 now. Chlorine leak from one of the plants. No idea if they got it under control, most likely just letting it go since everything is under water acess wise.

Power outage map shows all of Lake Charles out, 1/2 of Lafayette out, and a large number out in Shreveport. Most of Beaumont. 14 off the sub where my grandmother lives. Pretty sure that's everyone in that community.

Friend stayed at the hospital in Lake Charles. He sent a few updates via facebook and guessing they are out of power now. He's some executive or something there. His family left Lake Charles.

Niece in Lafayette said heavy rain but no abnormal wind as of yet.

Grandmother about 2 hours or a little more north of Houston off 59 no power now about an hour and probably weeks now. Straight for Lake Charles which is almost nothing land wise. This will be bad, everyone went to sleep last night thinking cat 2 which most could endure and have before. Now 12...

Haven't been to Winnie TX in forever. Very little actual "land" there. I went there to go goose hunting. South of I-10 through there is like the southern end of Calcasieu parish, water. The news was all over how few Calcasieu parish had for covid cases. It's nothing but water and a few duck...

The whole thing shows on local radar with the news now. I'm sure it's going to be a powerful storm and they are talking about a bad storm surge. It just looks tiny compared to ones I've seen before that fill the gulf from west of Houston all the way over to Pensacola with ran. The eye looks 150...

It was a optional evavuation notice for 400,000 people in Houston last night when it was still a predicted cat 2. No idea how many more after it's cat 4. I imagine I-10 packed up and crawing in both directions by now. Why people stick to the interstate no idea. Some friends in Katrina didn't...

49% of all oil rigs in the gulf are shut down and evacuated. Saing after the storm has come and gone a week to get them back into production. Lake Charles and Beaumont are heavy petrochemical towns obviously. Morgan City to be hit by some of it, largest heliport in the world there. 40+ pads...

Grandmother right in the track of the storm. Wasn't really concerned when it was category 2. It's weathered those before. Not really worried with trees, up close to the house is all live oaks. But she'll be without power for no telling how long. Power to her house runs between the 2 lane road...

It was a gift after I gave the 1080 I had back. Also the computer I used then for business went away. It's done fine for the only game I play, a 17 year old game. Eve online. The computer I used in business for my cad work went away shortly after as well so I drug out the 10 year old computer...

Been within the lifetime of most people on this board that there was a massive shift with companies looking to asset appreciation and driving up the price of the stock from growth and a steady dividend for a lot of companies. Had both forever but there's been a pretty large shift over time in...

I no longer use my computer for cad work and such. Mostly low end gaming stuff. Thinking of going to an amd 450 motherboard and something like a 3600 ryzen. Low end graphics card most likely. What I have now is working just want a little better upgrade on the gpu so might as well upgrade the...

Friend of mine has a kayak and bass fishes in neighborhood lakes around Dallas and down to East, TX and north Louisiana. She has a trolling motor on it. I'll ask what brand she has. She fishes at least 3 days a week, sometimes spending a week at their camp and fishing everyday.

Ok might as well. Still banking on werewolf.
