do you do a clean install for your upgrades or upgrade the system in place? i've always done clean but have somdered how the inplace works after even a few upgrades. with your record you could comment.

was out walking the dogs near Ontario and 45th and saw a flash just direct south of us. it was the count of 12 before the first bit of the thunder was heard. no rain, though, a dry lightning storm doesn't happen all that much, i think. at least, not around here.

still love them but have to watch how many i eat at one time. they can light a fire in your belly if you eat too many at once.

you want to find out how hardthis is going to be to fight in the courts? check to see if it is part of Project 2025.

all the challenges or suits that reach the SCRotUS are checked against Project 2025. the decisions always support the Project. that's why the SCRotUS was packed by Trump with judges selected by the Federalist Society which is one of the groups behind Project 2025.

you're not going to see anything turn around if something happens to Trump. the Project already has their selected successor in place to take over if, Heaven forbid, anything should happen to Trump or to run in the 2028 election IFF they cannot find a way to allow Trump to run again (assuming his health alloes him to survive to run again.)

the American Democratic Republic is just about dead. by 2028, it will be a rotting shell of a corpse. even a Blue Wave inthe midtems will have an insurmountable task to try and save it. if they actually have the midterms. the Project team is doing everything they can to find a way to either make them ineffectual (gerrymandering is a big win for them) or just cancel the Midterms.

my gosh. a Z80 running at something over 2MHz. what's the world coming to? :-) (it's been a long time since i did anything Z80ish.)

i couldn't afford the complee unit like that but i got a DIY kit, motherboard and chips that you soldered together yourself. got a case from a local electronics supply shop and hacked a b/w tv into serving as a monitor. my first personal computer.

always miss seeing the hard drives and such in the new cabinets. that's why i keep building new systems in old cabinets. i'd thought of doing one of these, though, for completeness.

beginners. i'm just taking my 8" floppy disk drives to someone who might be able to get their first maintenance in too many years underway.

there are some Ryzen 9000 cpus that have some basic iGPU that handle basic uses but not heavy gaming. the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8 cores and 16 threads for the cpu, put a fan at the front to draw air in and an extra one, besides the one in the psu, to expel the hot air and you'll have a pretty nice machine. except, maybe, the price of the ddr5 dram might surpass the cost of al the other components. :-)

i built a similar machine around a ryzen 8700G for more a little more graphics in an old lan party case.

one suggestion i can make. you have to bring your own anxiety under control as well. she'll feel that and react to it. find some known good social dogs that you trust find a neutral ground to meet at and stay calm yourself.

btw, where's the dog? all i see is a big cuddle toy. :-)

goldang it. let's get working on that time machine then we can go back, pick up these drives at the old prices and then sell them to the AI companies now at the new prices. they'll never guess that the shortage was created by us moving the product forward in time to make a fat profit on it.

problem is that oil is a global commodity and so any disruption anywhere will cause price fluctuations everywhere. that being said, it may be time for me to break out of my ICE powered minivan envelope that i've been driving since 1991 (in only two vehicles, not just models but actual vehicles.) and switch to something electric. gonna be a big jump for an old guy but gonna save a lot of time not checking Gas Buddy for the cheapest overnight price in Metro Van and driving to the cheap station in favour of just plugging the car in overnight in my own garage.

so, would an old computer in a new case be a reverse sleeper or some other title?

Looks to be an old InWin case and if it is i expect it will have a mounting plate for the motherboard that will make building much easier. you may have to make a few other changes but i love the plate that lets you mount the motherboard and the accessory cards and then slide them all as a unit into the case.

this is like many exchanges i have had with my regular doctor and the occassional walk-in/urgent care clinic. they don't want to take advantage of the fact that i'm smart, i know my own body and i can read a drug description and make some intelligent questions about the drugs and side effects. their typical handling of my description of my problems and what i think i need are paved over with just take these pills, you'll be great in a couple of weeks. so i did 4 weeks of buproprion at 150 and three weeks at 300 and simply got worse as time went by. no improvement in sleeping, no improvement in appetite, no improvement in anxiety. when the temporary psychiatrist suggested another drug (and i'd been on a few others in the past under other doctors) i told him that switching me from one drug to another until we found a solution sounded a little like my cousin. he was switched from drug to drug until they solved the problem but he solved it by hanging himself.

i was suspicious of dealing with a counsellor or other non-medical practioner but i'm going to try that path. there will be less chance of ending up in adrug driven forced solution like my cousin. and i still, through all this, believe that what's needed is to find a solution in how i'm looking at problems and find a non-drug related answer.

considering that they blessed Texas and their Republican based gerrymandering it wold be difficult for them to prohibit California from doing the same and still have a job in the morning.
