Agreed with both of you.

That's the classic "milkshake" color and is definitely from coolant.

Won't someone think of the shareholders?!

That skunk will be back around for cat food.

We had a juvenile come in through the patio door we had cracked for the cat. Dogs chased it under the stove. Took hours for it to let its guard down and leave following a trail of cat food.

It has been back several times over the last couple years. Only been back in the house 2x that I know of (the 20 year old cat demands the open door or she howls all night). We have a "skunk gate" on our patio now (it's just plywood that runs between 2 rails on the steps).

King of kings: the early years

A mediocre set of platformers interspersed with bible trivia. I played the crap out of them because it was the only thing other that super Mario we had.

Later we got Joshua and the battle of Jericho. A bomberman clone.

Kids are dumb. "Moolania" was right there!

Google will ignore this if you use their built in search, but it works everywhere else.

If you're not playing the fancy games with all the ray tracing, and you aren't playing at 4k, the 2070 is still just fine in terms of power. I definitely didn't need the 9070 XT. I would have been just fine with a 9060xt, 9070gre or 9070. I did want to bump to 12 or 16gb of memory. And I scored a good enough deal combined with credit card points to jump all the way to the 9070xt. This one will follow me for another 6 years at least unless some paradigm shift happens.

I will say that you'll enjoy more frames at a lower power draw if you don't crank up your settings on the new cards.

But it was really all of the polish that finally wore me down. Spent a year playing with the outermost 10% of the screen flickering sometimes in some games. I never could figure it out. Got tired seeing the HDR box in games knowing I had monitors that supported it but a card that broke font rendering with it enabled. Tired of some games randomly crashing because suddenly the drivers broke again. And the 20xx series is the next one to lose support entirely.

Truly happy for you!

I was originally multi booting LTS Ubuntu to meet reqs for work with Arch for gaming and everything except sleep worked pretty well. The Wayland cutover sucked for years as they fixed one thing and broke another. HDR never worked correctly.

 

I finally gave up my Nvidia 2070 Super and rejoined Team red with a 9070 XT. And it's like this is the way everything was always meant to be.

HDR works without breaking font rendering. Sleep states just work. No more random border flickering in fullscreen or borderless windows. And the fans never even spin up.

I did have to unwind a couple Nvidia workarounds to swap over successfully (like /etc/environment needed cleaning up for sddm-greeter-qt to not core dump).

No ragrets.

No regerts.

Team red 4lyfe (again).

 

I took the toaster apart and cleaned the contacts for the lever that signal the hold down while toasting. Now we don't have to stand there and hold it (that was 3 morning routines slightly out of order).

I had to buy a set of special bits because someone decided they needed to use security torx bolts in the corners hidden under the feet. This was of course in addition to the 14 regular old #2 Phillips screws. But it's always nice to have a reason to get new tools.

In other news, the clean signal started flashing on on the espresso machine today, so I have another little project for tomorrow too.

 

I don't really have anyone else to shout at about this, but it's an amazing way to host services in rootless containers entirely in user space using systemd (systemctl --user).

I applied some paste wax to the table saw and was pleasantly surprised that it made a difference.

I think I'll have to use this on the wood runners on the old dresser I have too.

In case you're concerned, it's just a little DeWalt contractor's table saw. No sawstop or powermatic here. That's for the cool guys on youtube.
