    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...

    Investing General Discussion

    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...

    Kayak and Canoe Thread

    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.

    The forecast I saw earlier had both storms hitting as a lvl 1 hurricane. Looked like one was going to the east side of Baton Rouge and the other the west side. Gonna be a lot of rain. Hopefully not as much as the 2016 flood, 30" of rain in 48 hours. Friend flooded bad in 2016 and they just...

    Gaming and general purpose monitors

    I use a regular screen and a vertical off to the right side for books, reference and such. You are right, run out of room in a hurry like that and the vertical gets pushed back when not in use.

    Yeah it's made so you can use it like pictured, or switch the two pieces and it will line up kinda with the roof so you can put lighter ones on the roof. So one way it's like the pic long and low, or flip them and it's short and tall. I got mine I think from harbor freight. I split a pool...

    Guy I work with his wife "had" MS for 20 years. It never got better, it never got worse. She finally went to Baylor medical or whatever the name is. They found the issue and at least she's no longer paying deductible every year on her expensive ass meds.

    When I took copaxone it came in a big cooler with gel pack things that were frozen. When it got to me it was still very cold. I'm not taking anything now.

    Yeah I lived in Anacortes, WA for a short while. A little over an hour north of Seattle on the water. The place there didn't have A/C. It got a lot less rain than Seattle though. In the rain shadow of the Olympic mountains so they got like 1-2 in of rain a month. Place was great, the people...

    I hate to say it with it being so hot everywhere else. Normally I would expect to be in the mid to high 90's this time of year along the gulf coast. Friday and Saturday at 5pm It was 75. Of course it rained somewhere close by, but not here. Today it was 85 at 5 and it did rain here. Talked to a...

    I paid $3,000 for it new. I got the very first one out of the mold. Hence the yellow color and not the tan one they did a little later. Fishing in the pro angler is as stable as anything really. Lot of videos of guys standing and fishing with it. They make a brace you can lean against while...

    Good luck. Heard from a number of people kayaks are hard to get ahold of now. People off work and stuck at home looking for something to do. I have a Hobie Pro Angler.

    The drawback with crafting is if you don't play PoE every league, probably going back several leagues if you search for any crafting info to get started on it a large part of it is no longer valid or useful because it deals with a league that never went core or whatever. For new playes at least.

    Had one put in at the house. Did not do it myself. It drained the yard in front of the house and carried it under the driveway which would then flow downill to a small drainage into the lake behind the house. Over time grass had grown up and trees and shit and the front yard started collecting...

    Eve and Eve mobile are kind of merging in philosophy apparently. Eve now has instanced PVP. I might try this out some time in the future. They have a history of dropping things completely after some time, but I guess a mobile game it really wouldn't matter.
