I want to toss some cash at the community, but timing is everything. For all but 60 days of the year I run at a loss in the tens of thousands and don't have a dollar to my name.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'd like to toss you salad.

Jackalope is looking into various fixes and safeguards and will be the one to make those decisions that are way beyond my skill set. I'm now the Administration Admin Assistant.  By god, I think that deserves a new name color! Oh, wait, I could probably give myself one...drums fingers...considering the possibilities.
We are working on it and hope to get real numbers together soon. Those offering to help will be among the first to know.
This past week has been a little crazy.

Have you ever fucked up so badly that you made Finland and Sweden join NATO?
I bet you haven't.

My arthritis is acting up this morning. Taking meds and getting ready for a warm soak in my new walk-in bathtub.

Experimenting with my morning coffee. Making it closer to the recommended strength, grinding it right before brewing, and using a little better bean. I'm trying some Brazilian this morning. It is indeed nutty. I also picked up a bag of Columbian, which I'll probably like better.

Looking at graphics cards. Newegg has an MSI Ventus RTX 2060 OC for $420 + $40 coupon + $20 rebate. It's a little slower than the GTX 1080's that I've been looking at on Ebay, but this will be new rather than used, for less than $100 price difference.

Looking at graphics cards. Newegg has an RTX 2060 for $420 - $40 coupon - $20 rebate, but it has the standard 6GB of VRAM. I'm leaning towards opting for a similar Asus card, but with 12GB of VRAM, so that it won't be obsoleted as quickly. It's $70 more, but I think it's the way to go. The biggest downside is that the card takes up 2.7 slots, which may mean giving up my second x16 slot. I've tested moving the extra disk controller to the third x16 slot and it's good. I've got a 2TB SSD on the motherboard, so I can feasibly give up the extra SSD which is now in the second slot. I need to reinstall windows anyway.
