  1. Eat that b00ty like it's lunch!!
  2. Interesting video of the making of Dino Fun Nuggets:
  3. That's what she said. =P
  4. These are Tyson brand Fun Nuggets; was researching which was the best-tasting chicken nuggets, & this 'kids' nugget rated among the highest of nuggets. They taste pretty darn good & are reasonably priced. https://www.tyson.com/products/breaded-chicken-nuggets-fun-dino/
  5. PepperJack Cheese. So Monterey Jack with Jalapeno bits throughout. Yes, I had smoked something previously to this incident.
  6. ...because sometimes, you're not trying to cook.
  7. This is to what I was referring vis a vis Brandon Lee. A round with the charge removed was fired from a prop gun, with the primer propelling the bullet partly up the barrel. It was not cleared before blanks were then loaded; the powder charge from the blank propelled the squib into Mr. Lee at pretty much the same force as a regular round, killing him. People though he was pranking when he fell. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1993-08-11-ca-22553-story.html
  8. This is truly entertaining:
  9. There are prop gun handling experts; usually LEO or retired LEO that is primarily if not solely responsible for ensuring the prop gun is safely given to the actor during the scene & who supervises its use. Unless Baldwin went outside the parameters of given instruction, the only other possibility is the handler didn't do their job properly. Will be interesting to see which it is. Surely it's not another squib subsequently launched by a blank's charge. It is a terrible knowledge with which to live. Must have been some shrapnel from what I assume was 1 round fired.. Shouldn't anybody be in the line of fire, even if it's the photographer; just step to the side while the shot of the shot is aimed at the camera, if that's a facet of the situation. I'm disturbed imagining the weight of killing another person, even by accident.
  10. Irony intended?
  11. First thing I learned when I was 7: 'A gun is always loaded.' Don't care what you call it, don't point one at anybody...unless...
  12. ...guess he didn't learn from Brandon Lee's situation.
  13. What you know 'bout some Mississippi Fred?
  14. Yeah, that title gave me pause; I've used series or parallel, but never both in one setup.
  15. More like The Walking Derp.
  16. When a video game forum is chosen as an irrelevant place to hoist oneself on their own petard & demand freedom of speech, as if it were a governmental entity of some sort. There are plenty of echo chamber websites where people jerk each other off with their political views; this isn't one of them.
  17. Great story of how a child of immigrants can capture their dreams with hard work & dedication to their pursuit(s). RIP.
  18. Well then, he might have a couple things to say about that... after reconsideration.
  19. I actually meant Sammy wavering between gonna read it, maybe not, thinking about it, probably will. But sure. I'm just waiting until the New Year to see how well their new architecture will perform & what the prices on current hardware will do.
  20. ...hax
  21. Equivocation level: 753
  22. Depends on what tasks for which it is being built; gaming, video editing, both... This website is the best all-around for current status of any rig component. Gives you user rating, value, benchmarks of various aspects of performance, overall rating of rig. Can even build your own rig, see the best prices & compare to other similar or different rigs. https://cpu.userbenchmark.com/ Much faster than asking you what you want & your budget. AMD is releasing new architecture in a couple months; which means better choices & cheaper prices on current choices... if you're in no hurry. If you get an amd cpu & gpu, the new architecture will allow the cpu to use the gpu's memory when appropriate to decrease latency, among other things. The slight edge Intel has over amd in latency is about to disappear.
  23. The cache is coming along nicely.
  24. Lag compensation.
  25. My mom is German, having survived Ww2 as a child; death, disease, destruction...foraging for food in bombed-out root cellars...fleeing the Russians at the end. She worked hard in whatever she did & was one of the most truly strong people I've ever known. Stronger than my hard-scrabble, country tough dad who managed to return from tours in 'nam. Appreciation for whatever she had. Can't recall much ever bothering her, & that at some level, my dad feared her. =D. Some of my friends' German parents & grandparents who also experienced that war were likewise immensely strong, kind & generous; with a deep strain of empathy. I feel for people who don't know what they have. My friend's paternal uncle Horst was captured by the Russians & related stories of his experiences. A man of the most sincere humility & quiet strength. People don't know what they have, because they've never...not.
