I have a well and a softener at the well house. When I first moved here in the middle of nowhere the people who built the house had dug up a lot of large chunks of iron and had them spread around, some the size of a car. But otherwise it's sand. But with the softener it's pretty good. Better...

I haven't played EQ in 20 years or so. Had a FoH group for a short time back then. Now way back in the day one day there was a patch and as a ranger I could shoot my bow across the zone and get no aggro. I killed Sont (dragon) kinda fuzzy on names of zones from the zone in solo with no aggro...

Yeah that is him, he menitoned it in the few minutes I watched. The one thing I learned is if you swim backwards your skill doesn't go up. He was trying for 50 in OOT and only swim skill he started with. No idea why or how that info would be useful.

I watched a few minutes on stream just to see how it looked. Someone streaming was a challange runner and they were doing ocean of rears alone to 50 in the zone. They were hiding and moving all the small boats. No idea how they planned on going and getting new spells. I don't know how it...

Anyone ever use a reverse connect motherboard? My case will work with those and I'm at the point of starting that build. I'm just curious if the reverse connect/stealth motherboards make that big of a difference. I'm most likely not going to go with that but was just curious.

Structure on right around the smokestack, $1 billion in 2014 dollars, carbon capture Houston, TX. Cost of high nickel alloy steel before fabrication $230 million. I was project coordinator. If you pay taxes you paid for part of it.

Max Payne was released 25 years ago today

Naval stores for turpentine.

My dad went to the doctor today. I asked him how it went. Said the doctor said he was doing good for his age. He's 85, being alive is kinda good for his age. I asked mom and apparently I am the only one that will never get real old. Dad is 85, mom is 83. My grandmother lived to 100. My moms...

No doubt they will go in the opposite direction too far. The US for a long time built fire towers to watch and report all fires and fight them and on top of that fire was "bad" and we stopped presribed fires. Then it didn't do prescribed fires in a lot of places because people who lived close to...

I can remember reading his stuff a long time ago. Was it PC Mag he worked for or some other magazine? I used to listen to the no agenda podcast at one time but eventually stopped for some reason.

Extreme heat warning has officially lost all meaning. It's 89 and 55% humidity. For this time of the year that's a cold front. If the storm keeps coming and get rain it will be even cooler. Last week it was 103 but now 89 is extreme heat. Also 55% humidity this time of the year is not bad at all.

Now you know how people got a major cut in their arm using a radial arm saw. Busy watching and doing something with one hand and not paying attention to the other.

To live where I get delivery anything? Nah too many people.

Sounds like a good deal. Even if you don't love it you are making money and put on your resume for your next job. I work in a totally different world, but I've worked a few jobs that were basically resume builders.

Should be beyond obvious. Don't drive into any water. Happens all the time people that have lived their all their life and think they can cross moving water and bam sweapt away in their car. So far looks worse than last years "100 year flood".

Worse than last years flood in places. Uvalde 20" of rain in 24 hours.

I haven't heard anything since the IPO but I thought before the IPO Musk said he wanted to sell more shares in SPCX shortly after.

Moms dad would be 128 today, and I remember him. Mentioned it before I am 55 and my uncle died in WWII, two months before my mom was born.

His partner, the white cop is the last remaining person frm the show that is alive.

No decades old discussion about a hard cap versus soft cap for ac?

I saw earlier on a astronomy forum people complaining about the smoke from the Canadian fire(s) who are in the northeast which would include Boston. Lot of smoke.

Not bad. Been 90-95F the last two weeks. Yesterday and today high of 80F. Forecast back to 95 by Friday though.

Missed earnings I think. I watched a few minutes of bloomberg live before the market opened and a couple of guest made the same comment. Tech has been concentrated on building data sites and such and forgot about non AI software. No idea but it sounded like they all got the same briefing.

Is Windows even a blip on their radar so to speak with the other stuff they make money on? And obviously not gaming now.

I had an ultrawide 32" or 34" monitor. I found I wound up using only one end of it and didn't sit far enough away to get a good picture of it. Probably just the way I used it. Went back to 27".

I don't have a long beard, but it's 100% white now. I've always had facial hair but having to shave it off to get into some facilities I never really grew it real long. My dad made a big deal and had an award for winning a beard contest in 1976 which was one of the bicentenial deals. Not for me.

AKA networking.

I got a VP job cold sending my resume via snail mail to HR after I looked up their address. Wasn't that long ago but not a mega corp.

IBM down 17% in the premarket.

Free helicopter rides.

People used to use them to make a cut and slide the board down to make another and wound up cutting into their arm. Happened a lot in production type shops.

Stripping data centers for copper.

The meme that keeps on giving.

Imagine if they had as many camera as they have now back during the age of radial arm saws.

There were other people on the show other than Nurse Dixie?

I don't think it worked that way this time for some reason. Oil prices went up, oil well count did not. Kept checking the weekly oil well count and it was up a couple and the most since February was +12 from a year ago. Of course the roughnecks aren't in charge of when/what to drill. If more...

It's all fun and games till you say this loudly enough everyone hears it "you can't fire me, I quit".
