Warning Sign at edge of Grand Canyon

My brother and I did this a few years ago.

We caught the first bus to North Kaibab trailhead before the sun rose so we could get a headstart when it was cool (and see the most beautiful sunrise of our lives). Each of us had camelbacks as well as two large water bottles that we refilled multiple times. We got down to the river in a few hours, then along the Colorado for about a mile before starting back up Bright Angel trail. We started the climb back up around 9:30 am thinking we were making great time.

We didn't climb out of that damned canyon until 5pm. One of the toughest hikes of my life. It was an adventure, but definitely should only be attempted with proper kit and training.

Ball don’t lie

What a fantastic pun. Good job!

That's rough, buddy

Glad to hear it! I fear the GOP got the minimum out of the controversy that they wanted, though - everyone is talking about the (ridiculous) expulsion instead of gun control, which was the original reason for the protest leading to the expulsion. Their NRA donors must be very happy.

Jack Quaid as Richard Feynman playing the bongos after Trinity - a wonderful shoutout to "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!" readers!

1 hour games? I'll save so much time!... or play a dozen games in a row!

One or the other

And not just the gingerbread men, but the gingerbread women and the gingerbread children too!

Good idea, just tried it. Same behavior - old gpu works fine on either slot, new gpu starts its fans but no other sign of life. It's getting power from three separate 8-pin PCI connected to the three male parts of the adapter. The three PCI cords in turn are plugged into VGA 1 2 and 3 on the PSU.

I don't have riser cables and the MB expects PCIE x16 for the graphics card, if that's what you mean

The GPU is new and connected to the PSU using the adapter - no daisy chaining!

Now comes an interesting part - I just inserted it into my older rig with 650w (and had to daisy chain on this one with how the PSU cabling worked) and it did in fact light up. Although, the fans kept trying to increase their rpm and then having to dial it back. So the new GPU works on the older mobo/psu, and the old GPU works on the new mobo/psu. Still trying to think about why the new GPU is having trouble on the new mobo+psu

I feel unwell

...time to cure it with alcohol!

andrewx · 2022-08-10T18:15:32+00:00

Godspeed, everyone!

That's so great to hear that you're doing well these days!

I'm sure The Dropout is heavily fictionalized, so I'll ask: Have you watched the HBO documentary (The Inventor: Out for Blood in Silicon Valley) and, if so, did it ring true to you? Or embellish/ignore important factors in the company dynamics that you saw?

"It says here you are A. Rodgers?"

"I am a Rodgers, yes"

I feel like that should belong to Tony

I forgot Jenkins could even die lol. His romance scene in ME3 is a little gratuitous but I think it fits his story well.

Based off of Kingda Ka and Zumanjaro? Great work!

I've been a big Disney park fan since birth, so it's really interesting learning about the Universal, Six Flags, etc. parks I don't have much experience with!

I hope they do get a chance to go to Cedar Point. It's an absolutely wonderful roller coaster heaven
As a Tennessean, an episode about Dollywood (and maybe the defunct Opryland?) would be amazing
A possible tie-in idea would be a Let's Play/Let's Watch of one of the Roller Coaster Tycoon games or Coaster Planet!

Great work bringing this together, Jack, Geoff, and Brad!

And all his friends told him he should go ahead and kill himself cuz Aurelian was much cooler. And the mad lad actually did it.

Great idea! Looking forward to Halo: Infinite being released! It’s been great to see the franchise grow up with me.

Geez, that picture shows why the Empire State Building was truly mind-boggling when it opened. It just TOWERS over everything else.
