I live in the same region as Hoss, it's a term used by mostly older people. By older people I mean in their 70s and older. No I have never used that term.

Stampede.

I know what it means only because my grandmother uses that term, but she's 95. I've never heard anyone use that term that I wouldn't say is "old".

When you say "necking".

Microsoft has said windows 10 is their last version of windows. I assume they mean they are going to an update deal instead of upgrade and add on shit.

Sorry I derailed the windows 10 thread. I just don't see the appeal a subscription on an OS would be to even an enterprise use. I mean if you use the computer you gotta have it and the cost of the OS is normally just put in with the build of the computer I'm guessing. At least in small...

I still think AutoCad doesn't take advantage of having multiple cores. It's single core or whatever they call it only. My dad still uses autocad r.12. Not autocad 2012, but autocad 12 from 1992 or so. He likes that the menu hasn't changed and uses a digitizer so he never uses an oncreen menu...

This thread is depressing because it keeps reminding me I have 5 gallons of roundup mixed up I've been meaning to spray. At this rate summer is going to be over first lol.

I dunno. I saw the list of stuff that was subsciption only now a month ago. It listed all the big stuff like autocad, revit, inventor and all. Don't remember raser design and didn't look into it since it's part of the AutoCad package that I bought in 2016 design studio or whatever they call it...

Well the Autodesk stuff is subscription only and it only goes back 3 years. You can only get a deal for this years release for 3 years. The problem is they release a new version every year and they change small stuff that nobody ueses. In the last 6 years they have changed the input/menu system...

A large number of companies I work with/for still use AutoCad 2000 for in house work. The actual drafting hasn't changed a whole lot and AutoCad 2000 was the last edition you could get a server license.

I know this music is wildly unpoular here. Still rather listen to Hank Williams Sr.

The biggest complaint they've had on the news is trespassing since apparently the deal is random and you get them in places people don't have rights to be.

Several companies I deal with have asked me about the new subscription on Autocad products. It sucks as of last month you can't buy a license for it only pay a subscription. What sucks one of them is a series that they discontinued 2 years ago and bought out a new company and if they do that...

Cluster fuck. TDF Stage 12: Chris Froome forced to run up Mont Ventoux after crash

Windows 10 subscription fee, for enterprise only for now. I'm not a fan of subscription fees, but for an OS seems really dumber than the rest of it. http://www.forbes.com/sites/gordonke...o#780e6a40dfab

I had to pick up some balsa wood and lite ply, they have a big cabinet of it there. I also go from time to time to pick up pencils when I'm doing some pencil drawing.

Speaking of christmas. I went to Hobby Lobby this week and they had their christmas shit out already. Christmas in July wtf.

University of North Texas. I see what you did there.

You know the Rio olympics are going to suck when the mayor is hoping Pokemon Go can save the olympics there lol. at the Olympics in Brazil? Rio mayor hopes so

Met with an entire panel of doctors yesterday just to go over my case. Apparently it's really odd. Kind of like house without the smart assesness. Basically they came to the concslusion that I have had MS for 15+ years. It's rare and I forgot what they called it, you get lesions in the brain...

Lucky China. Denied Release in China

Well except stuff that is genetically modified to be roundup ready meaning you can spray over it and not kill it but everything else. That's the point of using roundup on crops for the most part now. Selectrive herbicides are a huge deal now. They use oust in forestry operations on new...

Smarties, pure sugar. Dooesn't melt, small, take it anywhere, and you take just the amount you need and just leave it in your mouth. Sugar absorbtion starts in the mouth.

Apparently some cops not so happy with it. The 'Pokémon Go' craze is creating a headache for police

Suggest an option for a cheap android phone I can get my mom. All it needs to be able to do is talk/text/ and rarely check emails. She said she could go with slightly smaller screen size if that's what it takes. She has a samsung now and it's gotten old and feels like it was pretty much a waste...

Nice, keep it closer to that and you'll probably feel much better. Much lower than that in short periods and you'll have to eat/drink something (start small) to bring it up a little.

Damn that sucks, sorry bud.

Got an official diagnoses today. Too tired to get into it, not great but could be worse. I'll post later. At least I got to eat at my favorite restaurant on the way back from NO tonight. 4 hours sleep the last two days.

The only real issue we encounter are from engineering done out of the country and they try to convert it to save us the trouble. Never again. It's just not a good way to go. Rather do it on my end and produce shop drawings in feet and inches. You get odball as measurements on the drawings that...

Tell a guy in the shop/field to use 13mm plate and they won't know without going and measuring it, where if you tell them 3/8" plate they can tell from 50 yards away it's not 1/4" or 1/2". That's why it's still an industry standard.

Well roundup has to be sprayed on the actual plant and absorbed, as opposed to other/older methods that stayed in the soil. No clue on what they spray cotton with at the end of the year to defoliate it either so they can harvest it.

My 74 year old mom asked if she could play Pokemon Go. Hell if I know.

I don't know their exact job in the military but I run into people quite often doing instrumentation related stuff that were military. I'm going to guess it was some sort of electrician type background. I dunno, it pays pretty well. All the stuff in industry, factories, etc..all have...

I use a calculator all the time. Much easier to use a feet and inch calculator than use excel when you need to check 500 dimensions in a row quickly. It will also do bevels, slopes, chords, and length of a radius given a degree and such. I see people using them all the time in my industry, more...

Anyone remember the HP calculators with a printer on the side that printed on thermal paper and had a deal you pushed thin cards about 1/2" wide and a few inches long and they were programmed and the calculator would read the program and then run it. I used to use one a long time ago and had a...

I get those letters every other year for probably the last 20. Or at least every 3 years. I give them to the CPA I use and she takes care of it and I have never wound up owing them anything. I think they lose a lot of shit.

It will make money because a certain percentage of people will go see it to see how had it is.
