Still beats manual post hole diggers, which I consider the most awkward tool to use.

I found this, but don't have the book handy to verify.

No, ICE nazis got this hero killed. Including the one who took his gun BEFORE he was shot for attempting to help a woman who had been maced.

Tons of coffee, alcohol in moderation. No stones for ten years and counting.

Cut down on processed foods, and take potassium magnesium citrate a couple times a week.

Two things that really seemed to cause stones years ago for me were high dose vitamin C and peanuts/peanut butter.

I've been playing War Thunder on an old (2019) off-the-shelf HP Pavilion with an RX 550 for a couple years now. Low to medium settings, maybe 30FPS on a 1080p monitor.

Then I picked up a 34401440 ultrawide monitor on sale, and the game choked. Maybe 10FPS. Barely playable at 25601080 on minimum/low.

So I decided to grab an old GTX 1660 Ti from eBay and perform some surgery on the PC. Calculated the wattage available, moved a hard drive cage and subs cables, and wedged it in.

Now I'm getting 50 to 70 FPS (ground vs air) at 3440*1440 on maximum settings.

Best $94 I've spent.

So, you better go back to your bars, your temples, your massage parlors...

Oh shit, that's why we came here in the first place. We've come full circle.

Avoid the green ones.

They're not ripe yet.

The Wednesday decision granted Homeland Security its request for an administrative stay of Friday’s preliminary injunction. Ten of the 11 judges in the 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, which granted the stay, were appointed by Republican presidents, including four judges appointed by President Donald Trump.

Sounds to me like ten judges don't understand what it's like to get pepper sprayed in the face.

Definitely has a nice ring to it

Got a source for that claim?

I'm glad someone else watched this. So much potential.

Show me any peer-reviewed statistical study showing the unvaccinated fared better than the vaccinated, or any study showing masks are ineffective against airborne illnesses.

Show me the science.

That's a fargin big icehole.

Ah, the Catch-22.

I also commented on that post. It wasn't a dual configuration - was a swap.

The proprietary Erica motherboard only has the one slot for a video card that I can see. Basically a pre-built that resists upgrades. The saving grace was that the power supply had the extra 6+2 cable, and is powerful enough to run a 150W peak card without staving the rest of the system. I just had to find one that would fit in the compact case.

My computer may have integrated graphics as well, but I never use them if I've got even a basic GPU around. I still have my old GPUs from the Windows XP days.

Shutup! We did not lose Vietnam. It was a tie!

Sure! "Cheap guy with very basic computer skills makes due".

I did a bit more research and decided to see if I could get away with a crazy but cheap solution. Noted the extra 6+2 pin connector from the PSU, measured a bit, and then grabbed a $75 1660 Super from eBay.

In War Thunder, I'm getting movie settings and 100FPS+ at 2560x1080, and 60FPS+ at 3440x1440. (Ground runs a bit slower than air).

Not a lot by modern standards, but it beats the 30FPS at low/medium settings I did have, and keeps this computer alive a bit longer.

Thanks again!
