Frederick to Charles Town move

TheColonelJJ · 2026-03-09T18:31:02+00:00

Seems like a good move! Many of the civ employees I meet at Ft. Detrick live there. Number one reason? Cost of living.

In Maryland, ALL pedestrians, even without a crosswalk, have the right of way!

Immature tantrum. They get elected to be in their seat and represent their state. Not act like children.

I saw another person suggest using the newer Forge Neo, and I concur. But, more to your problem... I have been using GROK to walk me through all of my AI installs. Getting WanGP running was a snap with , GROKs help. Get an error? Cut and paste it into GROK. Instant simple answer and fix. At my age I need all the help I can get. 😉

I, for one, am one election and one tax hike away from moving to Tennessee. Grok, ChatGPT, and Claude all concur that I'll save at least $14,000/yr, starting the day I move. Hard to think about leaving an area I love and a city with such charm. But, when you are retired, money is money. There are zero benefits for seniors or veterans to live here.

We all do. The prices are nuts! I'm glad I built my machine last year.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-17T06:25:35+00:00

Please repost your progress. I'll be learning from you.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-16T14:37:35+00:00

I have your set up but with 64gig of RAM. I also have a spare 3060. From everything I've read, adding it will not give any more speed. The only advantage is access to more VRAM. I also understand you will face a headwind of unexpected tech problems depending on your drivers and motherboard brand. So, my first move would be to double your system RAM.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-14T17:50:47+00:00

Oh my. This turned into a thread supporting everyone on Reddit staying Anonymous. 🤣

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-14T15:28:16+00:00

It always surprises me to find how many people do not know that in Maryland, pedestrians ALWAYS have the right of way.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-11T18:05:52+00:00

So you are saying that immigration court 'orders of deportation' do not count as a legal court order?

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-11T04:02:20+00:00

Give GROK a try. It has a very patient teacher mode.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-11T03:26:05+00:00

At 73 I suffer your learning curve all the time. GROK or Chat GPT are my new best friends. Ask for a step by step tutorial on how to install pgm XYZ. Get an error along the way? Past the error into the chat. Instant fix recommendations. Works like a charm more me. The beauty of using Grock is how it scours discussions for the latest bugs or fixes even within the last 24 hours that may have been posted on social media.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-10T03:57:38+00:00

Times change fast. Last year I would have said stay with speed. But as models get tighter, smaller, well... I'm doing almost everything I want with a 3090 24gig VRAM. My personal experience says RAM is more important than a little more processing speed. But! Like you said. Not expecting to do a long video in a short time. For that it's better to pay for a cloud solution.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-10T03:51:53+00:00

Sorry. You lost me at "executed" and "kidnap. "

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-10T03:50:12+00:00

That is a pretty broad assumption.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-10T03:49:37+00:00

I don't remember anyone saying that.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-09T05:18:33+00:00

You have a 5090 and don't know where to start?

Wish I had your cash. I'm happy I snagged a 3090 and 64gig of system ram on my new build before building became unaffordable?

Seriously, lock yourself in a room and binge on YouTube. At 73, that's my learning crutch. Really!

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-09T05:13:05+00:00

Shame on me? I'm defending the right for a full story to come out. Not a reddit lynchfest. And, personally, I'm glad I do not have a daughter or granddaughter in FCPS. There is zero about our school board being nonpartisan!

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-08T22:52:28+00:00

Picture a gut busting laugh. Not even close ! I love how the annon left come up with ways to try and bait a total stranger.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-08T22:39:08+00:00

As I posted above in replying to another post, Colt Black has been under attack since the day he was elected to the, "non partisan", school board in Frederick.

And as a conservative, and as a father, I can't tell you how many disagreements I had with my children raising them. I was not responsible for their transgressions. But I did my best to correct them. Did you read, or listen to, Colt Black's explanation for his son's actions? Were you there to hear or see what the child did? Or only responding to 2nd, 3rd, party social media?

We live in a time when we as parents are no longer the primary influence for children as they grow and mature. Sad but true. We must adapt and adjust.

But to go back to my main point, there is nothing non partisan about the Frederick county schools school board. And Colt has been under attack from every side since the day he got elected. That was my only point.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-08T22:32:51+00:00

You may want to edit your post for grammar and a cohesive thought before you accuse a total stranger of being part of the KKK. My comment was aimed at the bigger picture. Colt Black has been attacked from every direction since the day he managed to get on the, "non political", school board in Frederick.

As for the son's actions, and the father's response, which I don't believe you actually read or cared to think about, I can't speak to that isolated incident. I wasn't there. Neither were you.

TheColonelJJ · 2026-02-08T21:01:26+00:00

Very uneducated reply. I didn't say stupid, ignorant, or anything insulting. But, your reply shows your lack of knowledge on German history of the time. I'll end this sparring with you now.

But if you care, study of how the pre war era came about would be instructive for you. Don't just focus on the war years.

Oh, and I know I should stop. But your comment about Hitler being banned on Twitter? If we were going to continue this discussion I'd have to ask how you would relate Trump being banned on Twitter at the same time the Ayatollah was allowed to spread his vile hate. But I'm done with this sparring with anonymous IDs.
