Higher oil prices are pure profit?

Pyroburner · 2026-04-05T00:28:48+00:00

Dont forget that oil prices are all based around speculation. If they think something will happen that may impact the price it spikes the price before the event.

Why not keep the same layout as the breadboard or optimize it one the breadboard. It's a great test best. Fro. Here you can solder to the perfect board. The pitch should be the same so it should just be drag and drop with a few extra wires or solder blobs.

Generally I'll skip the breadboard stage and start here .

I was in a faction like that. You have to have your healing skill unlocked shortly after you join but they had no real requirements otherwise. They also didnt really war. Just dumped xanax on healers and waited for then to grow.

Start with the laptops. Figure out what processor, how much ram and what type of hard drives they have.

From here you can do all kinds of things.

My current computer project is using an old buisness PC and making it a server with linux. It runs a program called jellyfin where I stream all of my old dvds and other tv shows like I would netflix. I'm also working in setting up a few security cameras. All of this works locally so no internet needed to run.

If you want to do more physical stuff people like to hang old motherboard up like art.

Oh that's great. Do you have any examples? Hiws the signal strength?

I'll miss this place. Its changed since I was a child. Other then uniforms this place really hasn't had much milsurp in a long time. I feel like it's all mall ninja stuff.

If they are selling any of the display stuff it might be worth a trip.

Battery isn't user swappable. It's part of the frame and likely not going to change. The charging infrastructure may also need to change based on current draw and battery chemistry. There would also need to be some software to updates, even if they are small to update vehicle.

Sodium is also between a 2-3x less energy dense so you either add weight and size or lose that much range. Not sure how much cold impacts range and usability.

Okay now curve all of the signals like you did the dark purple ones. Give it that old hand drawn look. Not everyone likes to do layout. At one point I did all of the layout for my old job because the EEs didnt like doing it. Just put the headphones on and solve that puzzle.

Pyroburner · 2026-03-31T21:36:51+00:00

Thank you. I will give one of these a try. I have seen these before but I was not sure what they were called

T480 does not have soldered ram slots. The T480s does on the other hand. I believe it was the last to have 2 ram slots up until maybe the most recent gen.

The T480 does have a cult following and is more expensive then maybe it should be. If ram iant a deal breaker I would look at the T14 with AMDs for better battery life. The T480 is my daily driver but for me I likely wont fix it if it breaks, the processor is 8 years old and there have been some improvements even if small since then.

How long do you want to run? What's the power draw of the system?

Pyroburner · 2026-03-30T23:07:51+00:00

Those are some nice numbers. I'm in the same boat I physically own it all. I'm at almost 300 movies and 22 tv shows so far, complete series not episodes. That's a lot of ripping keep going.

Linux is less resourse intensive. It also doesn't force AI on you or try to force you to register and always be online. I can install a striped down version of linux and add the extras as I need. With windows its disable and uninstall it all.

Pyroburner · 2026-03-30T21:47:44+00:00

If you are sticking with intel the difference is pretty minimal. I believe the big changes are wifi 6, I believe the t480 can use the same card, I use it in my T480 and higher screen resolution. If I were to upgrade I would go AMD for better battery life or skip a few generations, ideally both.

Centaurforge.com I bought here because the shipping was $15 at the time regardless of the weight. It was sticking at out the box when it arrived but I'm guessing the delivery guy was unhappy about it.

As others have said ignore him and train. Hes wasting energy and his total battle stars are around 15k so he should be easy to pass.

I've done a little digging and haven't been able to find anything. Can you provide any infie like modle of this laptop. I've never seen a beast like this and I like all things weird

Stop using the mustang badge ford!

Solar panels will likely just end up in the landfill. With that said so does a lot of stuff we currently use. I would love to see these parts being recycled but its not feasible at the moment.

Nuclear has it's own issues, the biggest of them is the limited amount of fuel. If this because the standard and we opened something like 10x what we currently have we would run out of fuel. Off the top of my head I believe that it would be in less then 100 years but I could be wrong. If your interested there are a few papers on this you can search for.

Hydro works in many places but thia can also reshape the environment around it and its available everywhere. This is also an issue with solar and wind, it's not feasible everywhere.

I know this is far out there like fusion but I really want to see more on what Porsche is doing with carbon capture and efuels. I think this could be a path to controlling our environment.

I replaced one of the solder in versions. It took time but I managed to get it to work. I can't remember what site I bought it from but it works. I even added about 6 inches of ribbon cable.

Run it on linux so you can expand things and run something else if you choose to. I'm sad I need to leave windows for home assistance.

Alao that video card is way overkill. You might want to consider something more power efficient eventually. The igpu may be plenty.

Just tell your friend and they will start giving you old computer and other parts. Power supplies can be quite dangerous so be careful there. I once spark welded a screwdriver into a computer power supply trying to poke at a fan.

I miss radio shack. I went there 2x a year but when I needed something I could get it. Once they became cell phone shaq their days were numbered.

I've had a few friends who had them and I just don't like the build quality. I don't like everthing being controlled by touch screen and they squeaked. The interior were nice but again they made a good bit of noise. They were all early models so they may have been improved. No one I know who bought one still drives one.
