    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I browse slick deals every so often for stuff just to get an idea on prices. Besides as mentioned looks like microcenter is the best normally. But even other places the best price on memory now is to buy an entire package combo, it's definetly the deal sweetner of coice. If I had a microcenter...

    Health Problems

    It's been a long time ago but the first time I had the exam they do with dye I passed out cold turkey in milliseconds. All they had asked was I allergic to shelfish. I was born in Louisiana, umm nope. It was like the dye was refrigerated and super cold. I never went back to that doctor and never...

    You know you're getting old when.....

    Yeah I'm old. Year before I started college, and I was out of high school 5 years working before I started college. Someone mentioned Rambo earlier. I'm so old I read the book first, before I saw the movie. The book was pretty different towards the end than the movie which I guess is not a...

    I don't know. Refiners are up about 20% stock price year to date. Other than that people feeling "nervous" which isn't very concrete.

    Who died? (Celebrity Deaths)

    I knew someone that shot themselves in the kidney with a shotgun. Pulled it out of the back seat while it was loaeded after a bird hunt. I could see having a rifle holding on to the barrel to keep it from falling over with the butt on the ground and whatever causing it to go off. Of course all...

    I guess companies are making money in oil and gas are from lay offs. My sister runs one half of a company that staffs refineries and chemical plants. She told me tonight they are losing a lot of business from their customers laying off and doing partial shutdowns. One chemical plant is going out...

    I'm sure a significant number would vote for it just because it would mean it would screw someone else, even if it screwed them as well. Just not as much as someone else.

    Oil and gas that have refineries are up around 20% year to date, which kind of goes against the grain of the price of oil being down.

    This came up before and some super leftist came up with some stuff I really never could follow. His "plan" was to not have gains set per year so he wanted to have taxes on quarterly gains or whatever he came up with in his math. Sad part at least in this country not sure about there these people...

    Diablo II - Resurrected

    I guess some people it gets expensive all the travleing to conventions and stuff. My personal hobbies are not cheap, gunsmithing/owning a lathe/mill, hunting all across north America, guitars and flying giant scale R/C planes up to 42% scale with 200cc gas engines. Gaming is cheap.

    That was extremely bad. We just got power. Apparently lots of stuff from Baton Rouge to here are without power. We are 100 miles away. Apparently 6 tornado watches at once in the Florida parishes from Baton Rouge east along I-12 to I-55.

    2026 Winter Olympics!

    Friend of mine was in a wheelchair and played wheelchair basketball. Beyond rough. Not uncommon for someone to break a finger or they have to call timeout to get everyone back in the chairs again after a fight/collison broke out.

    When the son of your niece calls you and says "so you're the computer guy". I provided the computer because he is starting high school and not a big phone user and I had an extra. I have to turn off my phone.. I thought maybe he needed real computer advice. Hows to make the LEDs do such such...

    Health Problems

    This may not be news. But before I got an actual diagnosis every doctor just piled on pain releivers to no end, seems like at one time I had a prescription for all kinds except for morphine and fentanyl. I didn't need most of them and filled them and just kept them for "later". Now that I have...

    What tickles your pickle

    I got paid today. I know that sounds odd. I got the call that money was inbound and I thought surely it was a mistake. But transfered in shortly after. The money I get comes from the company that leased the mineral rights not who did something with the oil. Who the hell is drilling with the...

    Finding new and inventive ways to die. Jumping from island to island in the astral prism after you kill the inquisitor. Jumped and kinda glaced off and kept falling and faling and falling. It took a long time to actually die. Reading up on it, happened to others at times. New one to me.

    I rarely eat at McDonalds since I worked there in high school. I wish they would bring back the McDlt but they couldn't now since it required styrofoam for the container it came in. Now they use something paper like.

    The game definetly spreads out when you get to act 3. The guy at Larian apparently said they had left the ending open ended enough for someone to build onto it for the next whatever. Of course it's not up to him. If someone is working on the game if you have the ability to disguise self or work...
