Horses recognize and remember people - for years. My wife had a horse, Artie, who had been abused by a trainer, while being trained as a jumper. Years later, Artie growled at him, when he came to the arena my wife was riding in. And yes, horses growl, when they are angry. Artie did not like UPS trucks, for some…

The Republican voters in Randi’s “home” state, Kentucky, overwhelmingly support El Trumpo, so if Randi does not kiss enough ass, the voters will vote for someone even slimier than he is, next time he is up for election. Like Gov. Bevin, who has already run against McConnell.
Usually, when I see a friend’s computer needing a new drive, the drive is dead, and the pixies have taken over the computer. Which is actually the PXE network boot on the network card, since the disk is completely unresponsive. The PXE screen appears when they try to turn on the computer.
After a serious traffic accident in Chicago, by Mike’s house, the city put out a traffic counter, to see if there was enough traffic for a stop sign. We spent several evenings drinking beer and smoking reefer, jumping on the hose to trigger the counter. We got the stop sign.
I lived in Chicago, and I have seen the Green Sky twice, in the 1970's. The first time we were all stoned, and we thought it was really neat. The second time, a few years later, we were coming out of our basement shop for lunch. We were not stoned, and decided to go back into the basement for a while.
The real purpose of the saddle is to protect the horse. Having an extra 200 lbs on the middle of your spine is not good. The horse’s spine sits in a gullet on the bottom of the saddle, and the oaf’s weight is spread onto the rib cage and muscles of the horse. You may become sore from a saddle, but spinal injuries to…
“The Bed-Sitting Room”. You can make a post-apocalyptic satire. But you have to be Spike Milligan, to have it be funny.
A 1080p television to use as a monitor. With it, I can display two pages, side by side, each at half screen size. I just finished my taxes, AND I DID NOT PRINT A SINGLE PAGE ! After 40 years. I have achieved the paperless office. I can die happy, knowing I have achieved a trivial, bureaucratic goal. And it does not…
And Mrs. Johnson claims Fraud at the polls !
1) always move the racks forward enough to allow access to the backside, for equipment with jacks on the backside. Consumer gear usually patches from the back, pro gear often patches from the front, for ease of access.
I have one, 3.5 inch diameter, with a cast iron cover. I use is to cook and form burgers.
Usual methods are heating reaction mass, expanding it through a nozzle, pretty much the same way a chemical rocket works, or ionizing reaction mass, and accelerating it electromagnetically (ion propulsion).
Mortification, that you went to the trouble of building a first class, high performance computer to run cybernetic sludge, Windows.
How about covering it with a damp towel ? It would block air (oxygen) and cool the beast. I am thinking like a kitchen fire.
As a former Chicagoan, I can say the true stories of Chicago are so fantastic that nobody will believe them. Like, when I talk about the Gym Teacher at my High School who went to prison for taking out a contract on the Assistant Principal. Or the Construction Exec for the new High School Building being killed by a car…
Same thing happened to me, but the PSU had sat on a shelf at home for 2 months (this was a summer long project), so it was not returnable (over 30 days). Most annoying was waiting for 2 days for a new one to show up.
These posts are mostly opinions about Linus and Linux, not about Intel and Computer Architecture, the real subject.
I live near Louisville, where there is one of the few really effective shelters was. It was an old limestone mine, now called the MegaCavern (not MagaCavern):
