Did that with new set of irons, had shipped to MI for trip, paid extra for 2-day so it'd be early, arrived day late. Still haven't gotten to swing the fucking things.

FK. I have four new tires due today from Walmart.
The Walmart site says delivery on Sept 30, but the actual seller says delivery today.

PS: On a positive note, I just got an email saying Walmart is refunding $0.01 on the purchase of my four tires!!

Nice! You have my attention. Intrigued on the 3D rendering. I watch too many forensic/crime/murder investigation shows.

I bought an nvidia card a few years ago, I think it had 3 fans. Put it in an older computer, did not upgrade the ram to the machine. When I plugged that bitch in and those fans came on; I thought that thing was going to fly around the room! I've somehow managed to rebuild 2 machines knowing absolutely nothing about it.

As he should! Stop resisting Wede! We have an ongoing joke about physically striking someone. If you scream "stop resisting" it no longer makes you the bad guy.

GIGABYTE Radeon RX 6700 XT GAMING OC 12G Graphics Card, WINDFORCE 3X Cooling System, 12GB 192-bit GDDR6, GV-R67XTGAMING OC-12GD Video Card.

The Patrol division has this software (FARO) AND a 3D imager. They go out to the accident scene and scan everything (intersection, involved vehicles) then come back, download that info into the computer, then can render the accident based on observed skid patterns, damage to vehicles. The crumple of the fender combined with vehicles involved can deduce the speed at impact. They even have a 3D mouse, so they can rotate the scene in XYZ. NOT with their hands like on TV, yet.

The previous AMD card keeps BSOD the computer after sergeant has spent 2-4 hours OT, then tries to save. AMD drivers just have issues in Windows.



OH Yeah, it's in LA this morning!!!

I can relate. Just received my Brooks Addiction 14s and I'm thrilled with them. They accept my orthotics perfectly and don't squeak, like the Brooks Beast 20s that I had to return because they were so noisy (because of the orthotics).

As UncleWede said, "it's the simple things in life."

And yes, IT'S FRIDAY!

I got 2 of my tires yesterday, but one is still in NJ and one is in Queens!
They promise delivery on Monday.

I don't know what is up with shipping these days. My Ebay flashlight went from FL to NJ, then to FL, then NJ....
Delivery promised for Monday.

ObToday is a very good day, first of all the 8-week-weight and balance challenge is over and from my predicted 5kg weight loss I reached 5.2kg.
Then I achieved today my 5km distance within 30'48", but I confess, that is was a not very bright idea to leave step- and pulse frequency behind and run just to beat the clock.
Nontheless I am very pleased with the overall results and had decided to stick to the program to keep and decrease body fat bit more than present and increase targeted food and nutritions.

I’ve had the worst week of my life. I had surgery last Monday to fix a deviated septum that I got after a racing accident, 36 years ago. I had to have 12 hours of reconstruction surgery to fix my nose and face after that accident. The surgeon wasn’t able to completely fix my septum. But, he was able to cut a bone out, clean up my chronic sinusitis, that I’ve had for years, caused by the deviated septum, and he was able expand my sinuses with a balloon. This surgery was 6 hours long. I almost suffocated to death in post op and it took me another 5 hours to wake up from anesthesia, where they quickly kicked me and my girlfriend out of the hospital. I was no where close to being able to go home. At some point, during the surgery, they switched the blood pressure cuff from my right arm to my left arm. It was taking my blood pressure every minute. It made my arms so sore, I’m just today able to move my arms. Two nights after surgery, I got, I think, constipation. It was extremely painful all night long. Today, I’m only feeling slightly better then the day after surgery. I feel like I got hit by a train. Last night I had what felt like PTSD. I woke up about midnight, I got really angry and agitated about how I was treated in post op. And, I felt like if I went to sleep and didn’t wake up, that it would be ok. Then, I thought about how our people in the military, feel that way, to a much greater degree, every day of their lives. I thought to myself, if they can deal with that everyday, I can deal with what I’m going through. Finally I was able to calm down and sleep for a couple hours. And again today, I only feel slightly better than the day after surgery. Sorry, I just needed to vent a little.

We double as therapists here. Go ahead and share. If it makes it feel more authentic, lie down on your own couch while you type them out...

I wonder if your thoughts involved a God. I could see that being disconcerting for you.

This place has gone down hill. Every thread is now a pic thread. Here's some LOL's in your boobies, how about some boobies in your LOL's? A thread about quotes? Let's slap a picture in there. Someone died? A LOL pic is needed for a reply. Someone replied to me with common sense and good grammar, I don't know how to reply using words; so lmma slap a picture in there. A thread about COVID? Yep I'm gonna picture this bitch right up. General sharing of information is behind us. We now communicate with pictures for likes/appreciates and nothing more.
