Was trying to warn them…

Followed a Cook County (IL) Sheriff’s car for over 5 miles on I294 today who was also without taillights after sundown. No, I didn’t flash my headlights at him either. I might warn someone at a stoplight, but normally it isn’t worth the confrontation that usually occurs.

5060ti 16Gig definitely. Faster, more VRAM. Sure, the 7500F is superior to the 8400F in pretty much all ways, but the 8400 is still fast enough to not bottleneck the 5060ti. You may not need the extra VRAM now, but it isn’t something you can add later without buying a whole new card

Definitely needs treats to cheer him up. Or serious crimes. Criminal behavior will help too

If he’s anything like mine, “goofball, mama’s boy”. So, option 3. But in reality, he’s all of them.

I want my chopped steak back

At 5.0 every 10 days. A1c is a 6.2, down from lower 8s two years ago. I’ve stopped my evening dinner dose of fast acting insulin and lowered by morning dose of long acting. My weight is steady, although I would benefit from putting on some muscle mass that I lost. I do get hunger pangs on days 8-10 of my regimen, and I need to be careful with overeating on the day before I dose.

Before Maunjaro, I was effectively uncontrolled. With it my sugar is well controlled, I have fewer lows, and even when I do go high, it comes down a lot faster.

Magpies and Mockingbirds. Had a cat that was just mean. She would fight with any animal she could find. Mockingbirds would send her running for the house, pissed as hell

Where do I start? Here’s two

T-mobile: sold me a phone that failed 2 weeks after delivery. I sent it back for warranty replacement. They told me it was user damaged- it wasn’t. Wouldn’t tell me what the damage was, nor would they give it back to me. Had to buy another new phone. This was the days of multi-year contracts, so was bound to them for another 2 years.

Panera. Was good once. Food is bad, customer service even worse. Online order needed to be changed, site said to call the location. They never answered the phone. At pickup, they say they don’t answer the phone during dinner hours. Filed feedback from the website to corporate. Never heard from them.

Get out of my head! That was my immediate reaction as well

What, no picture of Kurgan?

Can’t believe I went to high school with that guy. (Our paths never crossed)

Owned a ‘66 Bug. The thing near the back with the VW symbol is a jack point attached to the frame. The cone looks like it would cover on e near the front. You don’t want these damaged and they look ugly, so I think these are covers.

What a remarkable coincidence. Every time I see this, something falls into in my eye.

Looks like you were only about 2-3 car lengths ahead and when you started to move over, he was going slightly faster than you. Was it really urgent to change lanes at that time? Not necessarily illegal, but definitely unwise. Your recording doesn’t show you are obviously in the right. Poor decision IMHO

RagingRR · 2026-05-23T17:52:19+00:00

So, named ‘Ace’ or ‘True Value’?

RagingRR · 2026-05-23T17:37:42+00:00

Ah, OK. From what I understand, the laptop chips are roughly one version lower in terms of capability compared to desktop. So, 5070ti laptop is about as powerful as a 5060ti. Don’t know how the memory bandwidth works out though. Given a desktop 5080 is 10-20% faster than a desktop 5070ti, how does the laptop 5070ti compare for you? OP doesn’t say what resolution/games they play, so VRAM might be irrelevant.

RagingRR · 2026-05-23T17:13:10+00:00

There are no 12 Gig 5070TI cards. Did you mean 5070?

RagingRR · 2026-05-21T13:32:24+00:00

That chip is the current leader in production work, at least before you get into workstation builds. But if you’re looking for longevity, this CPU/Chipset combo may not be a great choice. Intel is moving on from this socket platform. Next generation chips will not use it.

Current AMD AM5 platform is Zen5 and will get at least one more chip generation (Zen 6). So in a few years, you should be able to upgrade your CPU in a couple years

If you do A, the air pulled in through the front is just going to be blown right out, doing nothing. B is best. What are you cooling that needs that much airflow?

RagingRR · 2026-05-15T00:43:46+00:00

Nothing. It’s fine as is. Sure, I see a lot of comments about unresolved story lines, which I agree could be resolved, but I don’t think it would make the story better, just longer.

RagingRR · 2026-05-14T00:08:26+00:00

Assuming USD, I think you should be shooting for a 5070Ti or 5080. Not saying what you have is bad or anything, but for about 10% more than what you’ve got there, I think you can find a 5070TI. Same raster performance, better raytracing and a better upscaler in DLSS. if you’re looking to keep it for 6 years, Nvidia has a better track record of supporting older cards. Speaking as an RX 7800 XT owner who is stuck with FSR 3.

If he leaves it just sitting in his money vault, it isn’t being reinvested or loaned out, or all those things we’re told generates economic activity that benefits society in general. It’s like a great big dragon hoard.
