    Is Octavian a guy that used to make PoE videos and did not work for GGG at the time or different guy?

    Home buying thread

    I'm sure it varies a lot from state to state. I sold a house in TX myself. It was super easy. I paid a title company and they took care of all the paperwork and had a deal explaining all the things I had to do, when to do it, where to do it and so forth. I'm not sure they are all like that. I...

    I've watched a little of the game so far. I will say it looks fantastic and appears to have a huge amount of stuff to do. The mechanics aren't for me but it does look great.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    We did it for several years, bringing in a dozen or more deer a week from the end of season till bucks started dropping their antlers and we couldn't tell buck from doe at night under a spotlight. But the local food bank in a town of 30k said stop, it was offensive to people down on their luck...

    I know there are adapters to fit a phone and some of those produce some good shots of the moon and some of the planets through a dob. I have seen some pics from an iphone and they work out great. I know everyone scoffs at this idea. But a planisphere or a smart phone app, a cheap pair of...

    It happens here. Mostly because someone having a cow butchered or side of beef butchered is either local or bought it from someone local they get what they asked for. But a lot of deer are processed for people that drop it off and never come back till the day they pick it up some time later and...

    I've built a number of computers going back 20 years or more. I gotta tell you just trying out some of the popular LED apps made building a computer look like elementary school. They definitely go for the most difficult for the smallest result theme. At first I just wanted to be able to turn...

    Had to look it up. A dob mounted scope will not have the tracking to take deep sky pics. You can take moon, some plants like Saturn and such. Fitting a camera, either smartphone or a CCD scope to that is beyond my thing. WWW.cloudynights.com is a great place to look up stuff under various...

    Corporations are not there to employ people. They are there to make money for share/stake holders. If they want otherwise go to work for a private company or become self employed. Sucks, but that is the way things work and have for a very long time. If corporations couold make the same profit...

    Just because they ask for certain cuts to be ground doesn't mean you have to give them that cut ground. They won't know the difference. It's pretty common here with things like deer someone will say they are just going to make sausage and want it ground in with something else like beef or hog...

    Lot of shit with subs now. I was looking for a program to control fan speed and LEDs in a computer. One of them the LED part was free but the fan control was a monthly sub. Umm no.

    Just a joke. I don't drink. I am retired at 55 besides health problems I would be retired now anyway. Mostly due to gambling, not the kind sitting in a casino. Buying stuff that can have zero value for some time or none at all forever. Then having it pay off largely. A lot of stuff is gambling...

    I know this will sound like the ultimate whiny bitch but I don't care. I did not go to college until I was 24. From 18-24 I was making real good money.

    Some people are just not right but together they work out, and work out great. I knew a guy years ago that was just a step ahead of the law all the time.

    That's what I used on the computer it is replacing. First time working on with a new dual chamber case. Slightly related I did add a second M.2 and now the new insta latch system is a lot easier than dicking with a tiny screw on my old Am4 board. Going back to that will be the next option. I...

    Tech market is usually forward looking. Sho knows until it actually is put into action. At this point could be like cold fusion that gets announced someone has found it, over and over.

    Having issues. The NZXT Cam software will control the RBG and fan speed of only NZXT fans which is fine with me on the RGB end I can't see any of them anyway. However I tried the Gigabyte Control Center to run the case fans at a certain speed or curve and no it won't work together. I tried a...

    You laugh but it's only a matter of time until unlocking more memory you already have in your computer, or unlocking your CPU for a fee happens. Similar to cars shipped with heated seats that you pay a subscription fee to actually use them. Probaably the only thing in the way now is CPU makers...

    Phase convertor to power my mill or lathe or nothing compared to the price of getting 3 phase in a residential area is nothing. Derail over. I'm sure data sites are sucking up all the power soon anyway.

    I have all that stuff with an oscilliscope at my house. But I was at my parents house doing something for them. It will stay here when I go home. Harbor Freight smelled like cosmoline still. Imagine that lol. I prefer individual screwdrivers than something with a bit. Lot easier to work with...

    Yeah I only have a boot drive in now. I have two other drives and not sure if I will put them in now or not. I have a NAS for mass storage. I looked into Signal RGB and looks like I will just keep my computer where I can't see it which is the way it is now.

    Anyone ever play a guitar with a 7.25" radius on the neck? Seems incredily tight and sounds like it would be a royal pain. 75th anniversary Fender Telecaster that just came out spec is based on a '51. No thanks. I have guitars with a 9.5", a 12" and one 12" compouned. But smaller than 9.5 jeeze.
