Dumpster dove some Quadro k6000.  Dunno if any work because my damn power supply is short a cable  :argh!:


My luck though is they're actually fried.

Could just be an ity bity resistor? Give us a ring next time, we have all diving certifications.

Oh yeah, for sure it would be overkill and then some.  But for such a small price difference, I thought I'd mention the option.
I for one appreciate knowing that that might be overkill— at least now I know which way is up. its frankly disorienting, this technology is.


Many prospects here.

I have been caught lifting my own rants from here and posting them on facebook.

But, you know, they're mine, and I can cock & repost anytime I want.

So I went to Nashville seeking The American Dream and found out it's Disney Land for white bridal parties bouncing in the back of a school bus with the roof cut off to the same Shania Twain song over and over and over again.

I felt like I was in a play by Sartre.

Maybe that is the American Dream?

Been working 2nd shift 10 hour nights and it's exhausting and eating away at my time for here and most everything else. It will pay the bills though. I'm stamping out metal parts in a press shop. Last night I helped do 2500 wheel wells. My hands are adapting to the repetitive motion and my feet are made of leather so I'm actually not all that uncomfortable. I'm way behind on reading stuff here so I'll be picking through the threads piecemeal when I can. Just wanted you folks to know I'm doing ok and that I will still be around here from time to time. As a temp I'm not allowed overtime so I have Fridays off. That's probably when I'll be most involved here.

I'm spending most weekends with my GF! I'm pleased to say that I have a pretty great relationship going. It's done wonders for my mental outlook and motivation. It's nice to have someone to love again.

Glad to hear things have stabilized. I was worried about you.

I mean, the Doktor still hates you and prays nightly for an asteroid, but I was still worried.

Thanks for your concern man. I'm finally getting out of my long depression. I have to still take a bunch of meds, but it has worked pretty well and I'm back to living a life again. I'm hoping that my creative spark comes back soon. I want to tell tales and get my rant on. Hopefully with my change in outlook and a little encouragement I will be back on the horse in no time. My girl really likes the "Wizard" tales I've told her. I just have to get them written down. One step at a time.

So, the left-wing screeching about the dems has reached new levels on social media.  Apparently, if you vote to stop the redneck trash in the GOP, you are literally the next Hitler.

Do your part, America.  Shove a progressive down a manhole today.
