  • I say data (dah-ta) when it is information that cannot normally be read by a human, and data (day-ta) when it is information that has been compiled about a topic that is in human readable format.

    “The data on the hard drive has been corrupted.” - dah-ta

    “The data shows that you have a life expectancy of 78 years” -day-ta




  • Some part of me believes that water cannot get so hot that it would cause metal to Glow.

    I would be happy to be proven wrong.

    I mean, unless you’re saying that the pipe is heating the water inside of it? Which at that temperature that water would be expanding to over a thousand times its size and would probably blow that line to smithereens.



  • Yeah if you’re going for trying to get the most bang for your buck, you could consider getting a match set of either 4x8 gig or 2x16 gig ram, an i7 8700 flavor CPU, and upgrade the graphics card from your 1070 to a 3070 or even a 4060, and put in a nice two terabyte SSD

    That would probably run you in the neck of $500.

    If it’s helpful and you want to stick with prebuilt I saw a $900 computer at Costco that had an i7 14700, 32 gigs of ram, a 512 gig SSD and a 4060 in it.

    If 900 is too much, consider going to your local pawn shops. A lot of people have been all floating their 10th and 11th gen computers with 3070s in them and I’ve seen them for sale for sub $500.














  • I had two friends, Kat and Tim, who were vibing on each other super hard.

    Both of them were afraid to make the first move.

    One day I got drunk and I saw them kind of flirting and it got the best of me and I just said hey guys, you two are obviously a great match for each other, why don’t y’all go out on a date and see where it goes?

    That in itself wasn’t that bad but in my mildly drunk stupor I didn’t think about the fact that we were all standing in front of all of our friends and they were both shy and because of me saying that they immediately distance themselves from one another and never got together.

    If I had kept my mouth shut and just let things progress normally they might have ended up together.

    Tim’s life really sucks right now and his life would probably be a hell of a lot better if I had just kept my fucking mouth shut.
