    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Well only one that I kept in touch with the entire time. She wound up working for Shaw which was in my industry, and I know her dad from work. The people I went to elementary also went to the same high school I went to for 2 years. Small town.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    For a long time I had the ability to work, travel between her location and mine. The medical killed all that and goes down in a spiral daily. I really do not want to live where she has lived the entire time. We didn't get married for the longest time because she was hesitant to sign the...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Yeah but it's not really a relationship other than I guess they have the built in want/need to help someone. At least the women I know that are nurses. The one that's not we've been good friends since probably the 3rd grade and it's nothing more than friends now and no plans to go anywhere...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Wife and I are separated now. Been married a year. Too much stress with the medical issues. Someone I dated 30 years ago and is a good financial situation has offered to let me move in. She's an executive at what is left of the Shaw group after they sold to Chicago Bridge and Iron. Not sure how...

    Got Moto G Stylus since mostly I talk on the phone or take a few pics. I like the stylus since I have issues with dexterity and feeling in my fingers. WalMart is/was doing a closeout saw on slick deals. Store had only 1 and it took them a while to find it. $87.

    I know that. They are going through names fast and I'm sure most of them turn into nothing. First greek name I saw this year was Delta. My greek alphabet awareness stops at iota and of course omega. I think they said if it hits LA it will be the 5th named storm in a season. Yucatan got it...

    Chemical side. The deal I got forwarded predicted an increase in asphalt prices as well since coke from the refining process is used in asphalt production and that is scaled back now. No idea on concrete. The twice a year shutdown of rotating lines at the chem plant are now extended and across...

    Exxon about to have a large layoff in Canada and the US on the refining, chemical end. Guess they're looking at a never ending pandemic play. Starting to look like engineering and management. Took them a few months to get everything shut down for an extended downturn.

    From tracking info deer will at least get up to eat/water every 4 hours. They may not go but a few feet but they will at least move enough to set the tracker off and browse for a few minutes every 4 hours. Before GPS trackers were common Temple Insland timber company which was the largest...

    Path of Exile

    I think GGG said at one time their workers get deals from the government for having their workers living in NZ and that's why all their help wanted deals say you have to be willing to move to NZ. Now as far as working from home, no idea.

    Odd things are happening in Eve. Goons threw 1,000 Ravens at a keepstar being anchored 4 or 5 times and the last one anchored in Delve uncontested. Price of Ravens now is more than double what it was earlier in the year, up to 230-250m isk. Lots of talk about how many minerals it took to lose a...

    I don't think they are looking to bust up all of alphabet. Just the part that deals with search and phone deals etc...Not next and the fourteen other things alphabet owns. If they broke the whole thing up I could see it worth more broke up.

    When I bought my 3600 one day the 3600X was the same price. The next day the X went up and then back down to exact price and then back up. No idea how often that happens. Through Amazon.

    Got an email from fender about a week ago. I think you can sign up for fender video collections on how to play and get it free for 3 months or something like that. Never used it, never, never looked at it. Someone mentioned it on youtube as well.

    Monitor question. I'm thinking of going with a larger monitor from a 24", not really for gaming but ocassional use for that. Mostly generic computer use. Is curved on a 32" widescreen really that much of an improvement? Mostly going larger due to vision issues. Also kind of concerned...

    Everyone been pushing that AMD is having a launch in response to Nvidia. Sounds like Nvidia was trying to shovel something out to get ahead of whoever. Regardless the term "not smooth" pretty much sums it up.
