Overnight Open Thread (16 Aug 2013)
— CDR M

So what do you think morons? Do you prefer bottled or canned beer? I've always preferred bottled but two of my favorite beers come in cans (Guiness and Murphy's Irish Stout). This article, why canned beer is way better than bottled beer seems to focus on secondary benefits of canned beer and largely avoids how it tastes which in my view is most important. Of course, we've all had those moments where we don't care if it's in a can, bottle or cup as long as we had a beer, regardless of label.

Image source. Vortex Surfing

Interesting. 'Vortex Surfing' could save military millions. Of course, just using regular jet fuel would save even more instead of the more expensive biofuel crap.

It's an aerial maneuver known as "vortex surfing" where cargo planes in a V formation ride the cyclone of upward pressure that spills off the wings of another plane flying roughly 3,000 feet in front. Special software developed for the large C-17 Globemaster III, allows the trailing plane to stay in the sweet spot of an upward draft, providing significant fuel savings.

Just don't let Asiana Airlines try this.

Only In Russia

Weather Conspiracies

Heh. I had just recently heard of the conspiracy related to HAARP (High Frequency Active Aural Research Program) and have heard what seems like forever about airplane contrails. Nice to see this debunked.

The idea that aircraft that produce contrails are really spraying “chemtrails” is preposterous on its face. Airlines mostly operate based on the weight of the aircraft. The weight of the passengers, cargo, and luggage onboard is crucial for both determining how much fuel is onboard, which ultimately determines how much they pay to fill the tanks, as well as the balance of the aircraft in flight. If the plane is too heavy or the weight is distributed incorrectly, it could crash.

Liquids are heavy. One gallon of jet fuel weighs approximately 6.7 pounds. Take a Boeing 747-400, for example: a fully-loaded 747 flying from London to Hong Kong would require almost a full tank of gas – somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 gallons of fuel. That’s upwards of 370,000 pounds of fuel in the tanks. Between the weight of the fuel, the passengers, the cargo, and the luggage onboard, there’s simply no room left for “chemtrail” chemicals even if they did want to spray us all with toxic gunk.

Some people who believe in the chemtrail conspiracy theories also swear by spraying distilled vinegar up in the air, claiming that the vinegar ascends thousands of feet in just minutes to neutralize a sky full of these wispy clouds. A quick search of “chemtrail” and “vinegar” on YouTube brings up over 3,800 hilarious videos of people seriously trying this.


Remember, these same folks believe in global warming.

Irony Alert

TSA employee gropes passengers. Standard operating procedure baby. TSA employee gropes fellow TSA employee? Alert the police! Red flag! TSA employee accused of inappropriate contact with fellow co-worker. Honest your honor, I was just practicing techniques required to do my job.

Jet Fighter Pron

The Burning Penis Alibi

Yeah right. Peppermint oil burned my penis forcing me to drop trou and show my junk to fellow airline passengers.

Clarke--who initially flew from Amsterdam to Minneapolis and then on to Salt Lake City--claimed that he had a headache in the Netherlands. To ease the pain, “he decided to rub ‘peppermint oil’ on his forehead,” Christensen reported. Clarke apparently believed that the oil could be used as a topical pain reliever.

After applying the peppermint oil, Clarke claimed that he “went to the toilet.” While in the airplane lavatory, Clarke said, “I obviously touched my privates,” adding that he must have transferred peppermint oil to his penis since he “felt burning afterwards.”

GPS Jamming

Relatively easy and cheap to do but probably not the wisest thing to do near an airport. N.J. man fined $32K for illegal GPS device that disrupted Newark airport system. So a big fine and loss of his job just so he could avoid having his boss track his movements in the truck. Dumbass. UPDATE: Newark airport might have other issues as 3 aircraft hit with lasers on approach.

In related news, it looks like they are finally making some progress on making our UAVs less susceptible to GPS jamming/spoofing. NAVAIR team tests anti-jamming device for UAVs.

3 Teaching Dependency In the ProgressivesÂ’ dream of a New Feudalism, where the meritocratically elected elite will guide and take care of the unwashed masses, the people demand their own slavery and their own dependency on the state and on the elites. This, however, is counter to that civic heritage in America where it self-sufficiency that is lauded above all else. How will the Progressives change this core ethic? Easy: They start with the children. More: http://politicalhat.com/?p=2973

6 Class Warfare 2: Electric Boogaloo The Progressive left loves to crouch their terminology in Marxist terms, of a parasitic class with their Bourgeois running-dogs who exploits the Proletarian. Hence, the existence of the Occupy movement who shriek that they are the “99%” and condeming the “1%” despite the fact that they comprise heavily of criminal elements and spoiled rich kids who want to play revolutionary, and are backed by rich and powerful interests. How is that square circled? Simply, those old school Marxist classifications are not the true classes that are being created. More: http://politicalhat.com/?p=2957

51 Those vinegar people probably also believe that CFCs somehow make it into the upper atmosphere to eat ozone.  Which is pretty amazing since CFCs are heavier than air and are naturally occurring.  Plus the whole matter of ozone, the stuff way up at the top of the atmosphere, light photons striking normal oxygen molecules make that stuff.

67 Bottles vs cans: I agree with any who say the correct answer is "yes, please." You do understand that drinking stouts out of cans is suboptimal. *I've* done it, in a pinch, but I'd rather pour it into even a plastic cup. Like my craft beers from bottles. Happy to drink US swill from cans. (Guilty pleasure: Bud Light Lime = Workingman's Corona. Discuss.) I do note that some northeastern bulk crafters (e.g., Sam Adams, Harpoon, Shipyard, Cisco) have begun offering 12-packs of cans. Haven't hated any of 'em so far. Anyway. 'Gansett. Tall boys.

85 Guiness gets a pass on the canned beer argument, because the can is their own design, not the generic tin-can we usually see. Though I still prefer the bottle, or draught. Otherwise, if you're drinking your beer from a can, you've ruined it already. And if you offer someone a CAN of beer, they must not be a friend.

He didn't shit on people for drinking something mainstream (aka affordable). He just would often offer people one of his craft/microbrew/whatev beers. Instead of, hey you suck for drinking that! it's, hey, want to try this? Human nature I guess to turn everything into a status contest.

96 89 Guiness gets a pass on the canned beer argument, because the can is their own design, not the generic tin-can we usually see. Though I still prefer the bottle, or draught. Also, Guinness has a patented nitrogen ball that explodes when the can is opened and infuses gas into the beer to make it real draft beer. it works.

I know, right?  I didn't know Friday was the bad day to go but, still, it beat the living crap out of being in the office, so there's that.  I was actually pretty cool with it . . . of course, I haven't seen the picture yet, I know that will be really really bad, cause of me being old now and all . . .  but, after 2 hours, I really didn't give a shit!

99 "I read today where a Cali judge decided the high speed Brown Streak initiative was full of shit."

Joey Choo-Choo hardest hit.

Though the judge did decline to actually stop the project. Saying he wasn't sure if he had the authority to do so. So that means it's full speed ahead on the Rocket Train To Nowhere! This is so exciting!

The original Brown Streak proposal was meant to run between Borden and Corcoran. Or as locals said, to travel at 200 MPH between a place no one knows the location of, and a place no one would ever want to visit.

They've tinkered that up a bit now for the sake of the optics. It's still a huge disastrous mess that throws tens of billions down the toilet. Oh, and if you pay federal taxes (a few Americans still do), the majority of the money thus being flushed away is yours. This is Obama "stimulus" funding. Yep, they're still at that.

116 It's actually been well-established that most of the improved "taste" of foods and drinks that are considered upscale is entirely due to the higher status involved. Humans are status monkeys. We crave it. If you tell us this glass of tap water is the most expensive, highest rated French mountain stream water ... it will literally taste better. If you tell us the same glass of tap water is toiler water that is only served to homeless bums.. it will taste horrible. Most people don't know this stuff though. All the status climbing around food and drink, which is very common, is all about an illusion. It doesn't exist objectively, but subjectively we really can taste status.

156 It's a tough concept to explain since we all will insist, no, I can taste the difference. We'll insist the upscale stuff really does taste better. The fancy wine really does taste better. The 5 star steak really does taste better. The tiny hole in the wall restaurant on our vacation to Italy really did taste better than any Italian food we'd ever had. But it's an illusion. If you are doing something that you consider high status, then the food will taste better. Fancy vacation food tastes better And the illusion doesn't go away if you understand it. The key is this has to be something that you value, not just society as a whole. If you value finding the perfect hole in the wall dive restaurant then their greasy burgers will taste better to you. If you value artisan bakeries, then some hippie organic commune bakery really will taste better to you. If you think McDonald's is low-class garbage then it really will taste bad to you. I've know several rich bitch chicks who claim they can't even stomach smelling a McDonalds it's so gross and low class to them. Joy of being human, we can't trust our own senses.

167 I've got my Alaskan Amber Ale t-sirt, the wife brought back from Fairbanks.  Will be wearing it at a little spot I found here that always has it on tap.  They also float a shoch of margarita from the machine on.  Helps keep it ICE COLD...tomorrow will be a good day.

168 Sort man, I'm an ale guy. I don't begrudge anyone their beer choice though except Natty light or pbr.
The former is bad water and the later is hipster brew.

I've got a soft spot for PBR, I was shotgunning those back in high school before I even knew what a hipster was. Basically because it cost $2 a six pack. That and Schlitz.

178 But it's an illusion. If you are doing something that you consider high status, then the food will taste better. Fancy vacation food tastes better Posted by: Flatbush Joe at August 16, 2013 10:57 PM (ZPrif) I have *never* judged my food because of what other people like. Ask my parents, drove 'em nuts. I will drop brands or items if they change the formula, and I don't think I ever didn't notice when they did (who can say what you didn't see). I think some people (a lot in fact) just don't have very discriminating taste buds, and for them social foodieism is a big thing. There's a Red Dwarf joke about Lister that says he only has one functioning taste bud, so he can only taste food that registers on the Richter scale. I'm not saying they're sufferers or anything, it would be great if food flavor was kind of anonymous, I would eat a greater variety of food.

Chip, it embedded itself just ahead of the slide and broke some wood off.

He claims I got it stuck there because when I tilted the gun and it didn't fall off, I assumed it was a jam and pulled the slide to clear it.

While I guess that's possible, I tipped the gun first and it didn't move so I think the damage was done, but maybe I screwed up, who knows.

193 So you sprung for the good stuff? Posted by: BCochran1981 - Credible Hulk at August 16, 2013 10:59 PM (GEICT) I couldn't say for all the wretching. Honestly, I had my first taste of beer when I was, like, four or five. My family was at a restaurant up north. It was one of the rare times I've ever seen my father have an actual drink, and I was wondering what the strange amber liquid in his glass was. He offered me a sip. I tried it, spat it out, told him it was gross, and vowed to never, EVER drink alcohol again. For the most part (with exception) I've held to that vow. lol!

196 Maddie update: she had some surgery on her chest wounds earlier. No grafts at this time, they put some sort of artificial skin on her instead, and early reports are she is healing well. She still will need surgery on her leg down the line I think. Looking for her to go home within days. Meanwhile--anothe niece of Mrs. Crank is in a different ICU in town. Early 30s, long history of drugs, hooking, etc. Used a dirty needle apparently and is a hot mess. On the vent, dialysis, infected heart valves and clots throughout her body. 24 hours ago we weren't sure she would live through the weekend. More stable now but will likely be touch and go for several days. She has 4 children by 3 fathers and we could end up with them at some point if things go downhill--Mrs. Crank's half-sister is in the process of applying for custody but she's way older than her years and custody would likely fall to us if she were to croak. And before anyone asks, Maddie and this one are different branches of Mrs. Crank's family--Maddie is her father's brother's granddaughter and this other one is father's first wife's granddaughter.

200 So I know that Ace isn't a huge fan, but I love what I've seen of the Duck Dynasty guys. One brother, Jase, got tossed from a Trump hotel because they thought he was a vagrant. He didn't have a hissy fit like Orca, he laughed it off and called it "Facial Profiling". The brother that's in charge, Willie, was on The Five (holy fuck is Beckel a pos) and was asked if he was offended by TFG's "clinging to God and Guns" comment. His response, "Yeah, I was offended." and just left it at that.

219 It's not that things taste better if other people say they are higher class -- it's what you internally value. A similar phenomenon works for male attractiveness (female, too, but less so). High status men literally look more attractive to women than the same exact guy, but low status. But it depends on the particular woman's value system. It's why old and ugly musicians, poets, athletes, politicians, etc can get super hot chicks. It's not money, it's status. It's also why young struggling broke-ass musicians and writers get hot chicks. If the girls was raised to really value artists and musicians then when she sees some broke-ass musician who is physically indistinguishable from the deep fry cook at Bojangles ... the greasy-haired musician actually looks attractive to her. This works for female beauty to a much lesser degree. It's the whole men seek nubility, women seek nobility idea. Men bitch about golddiggers. But it's really status that is the key. It's just that money usually, but not always, comes with status. And, yeah, it sucks for women that beauty fades at a fairly young age. But for men, their status can go from top to bottom overnight. A hot chick isn't gonna wake up ugly the next morning. A high status stud really can wake up an unemployed low-class loser the next day.

245 The can imparts bad flavors to beer.  Bottled beer, as long as the beer isn't exposed to a lot of light, does not.  Light and air will do more to damage the flavor of a beer than anything.  Light will literally make a beer smell like skunk.

The thing is Flatbush Joe, a nice ribeye does taste better than McDonald's. A good piece of artisan cheese does taste better than CheezWhiz. Fresh salmon is much more expensive than salmon out a can - and it tastes better. I pay more for thick-cut bacon I buy from a butcher in rural Wisconsin because it's spoiled me and now I don't like the cheap stuff in the supermarket so much.

 

 No, I can't stand people being pretentious snobs and sneering at others for not having refined taste. But there's also a reverse snobbery that gets to me too - the reverse snobbery that says there is no such thing as difference in quality and it's hoity-toity to say that something is better than something else.

 

 I've found that "you get what you pay for" is true - within reasonable limits. That is, a nice leather purse from Macy's will last a lot longer than some plastic piece of crap from WalMart, but a purse that costs $36,000, like the one Oprah wanted to check out in Switzerland, can't be thousands of times better than the purse from Macy's - because it's just a goddamn purse.

Chemtrail people are egregiously willingfull ignorant ass-hats. The F-35 is one Hell of an airplane. Blame the DOD for the requirement, but, what Lockheed has done in trying to produce a replacement for the F-16, the F-18, the A-10, the AV-8B, and in places the F-15 is nothing short of praise worthy. And, the damn thing seems to work most of the time. Expensive? Yeah. Replace an F-150, a VW Golf, a Mack truck, and a Toyota 4Runner with the same vehicle and tell me how that works out for you. At this point in time when concerning aerospace defence, you need a new airframe with a good engine and lots of internal space for avionics. Missiles and radar have become more agile than the airplane in practical application. No comments on peppermint penis other than it's plausible. NASA? Who?

Will see if they kill squirrels, 700 sounds mighty low.

 

Used to use these when coon hunting, they have low velocity - but I was using them mainly for the ultra low noise factor. Not many people like hearing gunshots at night.  Never had any probs even with larger coons

Personally, I loved to have an old-school Rolling Rock after mowing the lawn, but when they got bought out and moved from Latrobe the recipe changed. I will occasionally swipe one of Mrs. Crank's BL Lime bottles. But I'm much more likely to spring the extra buck or five (bottle or case) for Bass or something similar.

Good for you! You know, you could always sneak next door, and spray their garden with Roundup, and when they start crying about the dead foliage, you could say, "It's moles. Seen it before a thousand times. The feral cats keep 'em in check, and then some doofus traps the feral cats, and the moles kill the gardens. Not a pretty sight."

How to defeat the left with their own definitions & methods. 1. Race is everything. 2. All cultures are morally equivalent. 3. Mind-State overrides genetics (see transgenderism). Okay, so how does this help us? Easy. Reverse it. 3. Suddenly decide that you are Klingon. 2. Klingon culture tolerates no weakness and demands that you conquer the weak. 1. If you oppose that, that's racist. And totally a sign of weakness.

457 I love the ghost shows. Most of the eyewitness anecdotes are for daylight working hours or shortly thereafter, but they purposely "investigate" at 2 AM. Just so if something moves on its own, they can't actually see it, and shadows can play tricks on their eyes. And no one is tired at that hour, oh no. Dudes, if a goddamn ghost is there, it doesn't give a fuck if it's dark.

458 Why do those ghost shows have an audience? They used to have them on at my nail salon, thank god they have evolved into the Science channel. (Oh, with Asian weird music on the stereo, so it makes even less sense. How do you tell your nail person to shut the music off, and just let us watch TV, cuz this is super boring getting your nails done with a non-English speaker!) All it was, was...

Goes and works on oil rigs and Alaskan trawlers, saves his money. Gets a SBL and opens in an abandoned building across from front gates of LSU. Basically has license to print money, I think I've seen 8 new locations in Columbus area in the past year.

If you're cutting miles of 'em, you can get a flute on a table saw by rigging up a fence that isn't square to the blade and cranking the blade down to the intended depth of flute. If you attach that to your real fence, you can get flutes every, say, 3/4" as fast as you can push lumber (push board, move fence 3/4", push board...). You can also get custom widths by just changing the angle to the blade rather than buying new router bits....

Posted by: The Hickster at August 17, 2013 01:06 AM (7Bfxw)



Picture if you were running a board entirely cross-wise to the saw blade. Saw blade is circular, ja? So you get a flat arc with a radius of 1/2 your blade size. Now mentally run the board at a 45-degree angle -- you get a narrower arc with the same depth that wouldn't be quite circular in cross section, more like half an oval.



Keep pushing that angle closer and closer to the angle of the saw blade, and it closes and closes....until it becomes a straight line when you're exactly parallel.



They're rounded because they're a sideways projection of a round blade in 3D space.

602 If its paint grade crown molding, I'd go with that foam shit.  Its dimensionally stable with humidity changes and fuckups don't cost a fortune.

The thing about any molding is you need to be able to do a little math and know how to cope the long pieces to match an uneven surface.

Running cast in place continuous plaster crowns is a whole'nuther deal though.  I had a neighbor who used to do that shit on historic restoration jobs.  He was like one of two guys in the whole greater Albany NY area who could do it and not fuck it up.  If you wanted real plaster walls, he was the guy too.

609 592 I've always been a prolific model builder, but the planes I built as a teen I'd consider cringe-worthy hack jobs now even though I won a shitload of contests and a national championship with'em.

Sigh. I remember when I was a kid in Stuttgart and could run down to the PX to get a model airplane kit in a plastic bag for a dime. Good times.

'Course, even then I knew everything I built was a cringe-worthy hack job...

I love made up mnemonics. People will mnemonic something out to me like "Umm, Mike, Elvis, Boxcar, Bonkers, Emmentahl, Yahoo..."

Saw some show (perhaps an episode of "Police Squad"?) in which the list included words like "pneumatic" and "mnemonic".

There are a variety of reasons to seek and avoid "recreational" drugs, just as there are a variety of reasons to seek and avoid "recreational" tools of other sorts. If you own a chainsaw and use it for feral cats on your property, you are a monster -- but if you use it to keep your weakened tree from toppling, you are a hero.



I went through a period in my later adolescence where I rearranged a bunch of things....in large part, because I was a worthless little shit in my early teens. Part of this involved "recreational" drug use where I could peel back layers and get past the crafted "image" that was run by the crafted "persona" that was run by the "me" that was driven by my id. Others around me took the same drugs at the same time in the same way and damned near lost their "me" in the process.



Like damned near everything else in life, drugs are both potentially useful and dangerous. Unfortunately, BOTH SIDES in the drug war have been seriously flailing to avoid facing reality. Timothy Leary's "Tune In, Turn On, Drop Out" was the absolute height of irresponsibility -- whereas "zero tolerance" is the ne-plus-ultra of unthinking sloganeering. It's not a coincidence that "Reefer Madness" and "Cheech and Chong's Up In Smoke" are both considered comedies.

The moment I stop consciously considering it, I can drift 20lb back on pretty quick.  Then I panic and get all hardcore about taking it off again.

I was over 300 at one point years ago, and never want to be in that dark place again. 

Today I'm about 215.  Start of summer I was up to 235 and went into panic mode again pressing towards 200 before the cold weather starts bring its temptations to eat more.

After a certain point, my college GPA quarter-by-quarter was inversely proportional to my drug use.....because when I used drugs, I didn't fight the indoctrination as much and just mocked it privately. I honestly believe that it made me more of a realist and more responsible in the long run.....but it was certainly not for everyone.



Remember the movie version of Pink Floyd's The Wall? Where Pink starts arranging little chains of things around his place -- like cigarette papers all in a line across the carpet, or paperclips in squares on the desk? My college roommate was starting to do that. Another girl I knew decided that she wanted "expert" supervision to try something with a relatively low-key stoner [not, BTW, the worst idea -- he was very mellow and the door was open] and ended up totally freaked-out.



The problem is just the same as if you'd randomly give table saws to 1/500 of the families in the US. They can be useful, there's nifty tricky shit you can do with 'em, half the people are going to use them as doorstops, and a significant percentage of the rest will end up amputating something.

a lot of it comes back to genre and purpose. 


jazz -- Parker, Coltrane, Miles Davis and the rest of the beboppers -- they played fast.  But it required a certain taste that is usually acquired.


bar bands -- your purpose is to get ladies to want to dance.  ladies don't actually make bar owners any money, but men go where ladies are and men make bar owners money.  tunes played too fast are not appealing to those that dance.

675 Is there an easy way to put my os on one drive and everything else on another; both external ssd?

If the machine only has one USB channel (i.e. you look and see there's only one root hub), multiple drives with SSD is probably not a big performance win due to the near instantaneous seek times).

If the box has multiple independent channels and can be sucking data from them simultaneously, then it could be a win.

With Windows or Linux multiple drives is  pretty easy as well as multiple partitions within those drives.

A windows or linux scratch install will give the option of some sort of "advanced" drive setup -- that's what you'll want to be choosing to do the drive partitioning and selecting the OS install drive/partitions.

On anything other than a laptop, I usually try to setup at least 3 drives on independent channels or controllers.  Basic OS install on one, dedicated swap/paging on another, and the 3rd for random app crap.  If its a SCSI system where adding drives is easy, I'll dedicate one drive to TEMP and browser temp files too.

With only two SSD drives, I'd partition the apps/crap drive in three partitions and dedicate one to apps and crap, another to general temp (i.e. where the TEMP/TMP environment variable is pointed), and another to internet browser temp crap.   This is probably more critical on rotating media, but it'll keep the app install and app data files less likely to get fragged making a disaster recovery easier since more shit would be contiguous.

677 665 Well, I did a calculation, and if you only take in 30 extra calories per day, you will gain 3.12 lbs. per year. Multiply times ten years, voila! Thirty pounds. Fuckin' fuck. Multiply by twenty years, sixty pounds. Oh, also add the multiplier of the diminishing metabolism. This was useful during hard times. I think there is an added multiplier of being scandihoovian, which is much worse, but we will outlive all you skinny MFers who have had it too good for too long!

I strongly suspect that animals "spill" a certain amount of their intake -- as in, it's never digested in the first place. Couple of data points on that -- coprophagia [ask your dog about your cats' litter box], beer shits. Anyway, the standard weight loss model says, "put fewer calories in your pie-hole"....but what if they knew enough to modify the spill? What if "drink beer with everything you eat, 'cause it'll cause 25% of the calories to leave your bunghole the next day instead of being attached to your 'love handles'" was reasonable advice?



The fact is, the whole "30 calories per day" thing is wildly misleading -- it's less than a quarter of a slice of bread, and is not even measurable in the greater scheme of things. The body has ways of maintaining a certain weight and will deal with +/- 30 calorie swings without blimping up or withering away....but our friends in the medical biz say that it's all about pumpin' iron or counting calories.

680 Back on the Caspian Sea Monster thread, someone mentioned the Dornier DO-X. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dornier_Do_X On a test flight in 1929 it carried 169 people, a record that stood until after World War II. In 1930-31, it took nine months to fly from Germany to New York. No, that's not a typo. It was the aviation version of the SLS. SLS stands for Space Launch System, but it's often derisively referred to as the Senate Launch System, since Congress is forcing NASA to build it. It will suck up so much money in NASA's budget that there won't be enough left over for a payload or a mission. But we'll have a Big Fucking Rocket. So there's that.

Or, to put this another way -- nutrition science is built on a model that gives large emphasis on two factors: caloric intake and exercise. Simple common sense would indicate that these are not the most important factors determining weight gain or loss, except in extreme cases.



It's very similar to -- global climate science is built on a model that gives large emphasis on one factor, CO2 level in the atmosphere. Simple common sense would indicate that this is not the most important factor determining global warming or cooling, except in extreme cases.

I'll save you some money -- all those "special foods" diets, where you have to buy from their plan? Pick ANY food and eat it 3x per week and you'll lose weight. Pick carefully, though, 'cause this relies on your brain sayin' (on fourth and future times), "yuck, XXXXX again????"



If there was ever anything that you'd avoid eating because it made you feel full and overstuffed for a time -- eat more of that [for me, it's eggs].

Posted by: cthulhu at August 16, 2013 11:40 PM (T1005)

692 do you recommend a particular box?

There's no one size fits all approach to high performance boxes. 

A gaming machine will be differently setup than something doing drug interaction modeling, which would be setup differently than some application that's very disk I/O or LAN intensive (like an internet web server).

Even things like CPU choice aren't cut and dried.  Some memory and CPU intensive apps (like drug modeling) would do well with multiple CPU's and cores, with huge L1's and L2's like the Intel server class CPU's have, as well as stuffing them full of memory. 

For general internet usage, those CPU's are just a waste of money. 

It all depends on the usage profile you expect and what you want to spend.  A bitching 8-way server chassis with tricked out hot plugable CPU's, memory, drives, etc can demolish money faster than you can blink...but that's what you'd want for a high reliability high performance internet server.  Not necessarily what you'd want for gaming though...

You'd want a box with a shitload of memory AND the most honking server class CPU with the hugest L1 and L2 caches you can get, and the fastest memory subsystem you can get.

A hit in a L1 cache is several times faster than an L2 hit, which is several times faster than a main memory access.  The L1 hit versus main memory access difference is usually in the 10X faster range.

That's about 4 turkey sammiches/day if you use the lite'ist bread you can find in the sub-100cal/slice range and only a few slices of turkey.  Supplement that with as many pickles as you want, and as much lettuce as you want.  They're essentially calorie free.  No mayo, too many calories, use mustard or sprinkle black pepper on the sammich.

723 Find some local custom box builder if you don't feel up to it.  I'd spend a lot of time reading Tom's Hardware reviews and shit like that before buying.  Also check Intel's web site for the server class CPU's.  Their socket form factors are sometimes different than general Intel or AMD desktop CPU's...which can affect motherboard choices.

Not having to worry about video performance helps a lot.  Other than load/save times which are disk intensive, spreadsheets are gonna be CPU and memory thrashers

724 Don't completely not worry about video performance. You don't need a high-end card for spreadsheets but if you go rock bottom usability and responsiveness of the OS will suffer. See that all the time. Getting a low-end cheap but decent video setup (card on desktop, chipset on laptop) makes a noticeable difference compared to cheap built-in chipsets, *especially* Intel, even the newer ones. But it really doesn't have to cost significantly more, if any more, to do it that way - just picking the model of laptop or motherboard with a better embedded chipset, for example. Lots of RAM, especially if you do multi-monitor stuff. But video ram is cheap. I prefer not sharing main and video memory for a variety of reasons, mostly the obvious.

Given the reality of what a glacial age might be like I have a nagging wonder whether humans have advanced in great ways in the past and it is all just lost to us because only stone survives -- and not without metamorphosis, degradation, and re-sedimentation.

733 Matrox has some nice multi-head business class hardware...they ain't giving it away though. Posted by: Purp at August 17, 2013 04:29 AM (yLe+f) Often if you go with last year's hot entry level stuff, you get cheap cards that still hold up. It's a little more detailed than worth getting into in the middle of the night. Something like a 5750 or GT 545 for $50. I saw a 6670 on sale for $35 recently and missed it, wish I had got one. Even a $10 (on sale) HD5450 would be better than most embedded video chipsets. So doesn't have to be expensive. Also don't need top marks just to get away from the bottom rung, which *will* impact normal desktop responsiveness.

The great suck has started.



I have lots of books, especially books about the history of aviation
and space flight. I keep getting the nagging feeling that I should get
busy sealing them in plastic and burying them in lead-lined boxes.

They're only going to survive intact if the structures have 7" corners from Revere.



In other words, we're totally fucked.

736 Actually, the woman in the blue headcovering is kinda cute. I notice these things.

737 Eat yer hearts out! I'm going to watch that epic major motion picture, destined for greatness, best in class, thriller, soon to be returned rental, Olympus Has Fallen! The first few minutes were really pretty good.... and then, and then, ... zzzz. If Ace did one of his six-page reviews on this, I must have missed it. He has poisoned so many really  "good"  movies for me!! :-)

738 Just looked at my outdoor thermometer, and it's 58º outside. The Philadelphia Folk Festival is underway. I used to go there back in the day. You would broil under the hot sun in the daytime, then huddle around the campfires bundled up in woolen sweaters and coats at night.

739 This is very interesting. I didn't know this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Powers I was at the last game played at Shibe Park in 1970.

741 Often if you go with last year's hot entry level stuff, you get cheap cards that still hold up.

I'm a big proponent of high quality "trailing edge" tech for video and motherboards.  All the quirks are well understood, drivers have stabilized, and any necessary firmware updates to actually make it work are out.

Shit's so complex these days, testing it, really testing it, is almost impossible.  At best they wind up sampling and shipping something that appears to work on their tests.  It takes a lot of soak time out in the field at thousands of sites with different configurations for all the latent issues to get shaken out.

742 Well, I guess it's stick a fork in it time for the ONT. Purp, is the last man standing. I don't count cause I've been up for a bit, not all night, and working on 1st cup o' joe. And I, to my detriment, don't speak computer.

744 @748- Heh. It didn't sink in till your post. Wasn't (isn't) Shine one of those $99.95 auto painting places? Around here it would have been Maaco Park.

745 This weather keeps up, we're getting snow before Halloween. Another indication of global climate nocturnal emissions and stuff

746 Well, auto correct didn't recognize Shibe. For the chillenz I guess. Old guy memory is tryin' to tell me it was Earl Shibe.

747 Posted by: nothinglefttolose at August 17, 2013 06:27 AM (6Zy+s) Yes, Earl Shibe (sp?). That's Teh funny

748 488 rain of lead >>..it's easy to say what kind of beer you like but what is the worst you ever had?<< Y'know, whatever someone puts in my hand is good. Big picture, amber, not warm, not yellow, not salty. I could understand how Keystone or Red Dog or Schaefer (me da's beer) is supposed to taste low end, but I dinna mind. Back in the day (1970s) I thought PBR was pretty vile. Or maybe I just associate it with the aroma of puke. Don't think it's the same stuff now. Kinda Gatoradey, ya ask me. These days, dinna care much for the various 64s. Seems like you need some minimum number of carbs to leaven the taste or something. So I'd have to see like a Michelob 64 is my all-time low. Used to think lite beer was for pussy boys. These days, horses for courses. If I'm out and it looks like extra innings and possibly even the 1982 Pawtucket-Rochester game might be on the agenda, I go with an American lager and maybe its lite variant. Far less punishing the day after. Breaks my heart to look at a can or bottle of Rolling Rock and "St Louis, MO."

749 574 UWP >>Then you have your Corona, with the perfectly transparent bottle focusing the light onto the beer, guaranteeing it a skunk flavor half way to the store. And that skunk flavor is a chemical reaction that nealy mimics the anal gland OF a skunk, with the end product nearly the same (chemically) as a skunk spray. Just read that today.<< Thus, the lime. 8^)

750 632 640 Racer 5 is indeed yummy. I prefer brown ales or porters to IPAs, though. I like hoppiness but usually it slows me down. So I turn to them to apply the brakes. Which play never, ever works as diagrammed. If I'm blowing through Harpoons the moon will be well and duly howled at.

With respect, CDR M,

the correct question isn't bottled v. canned beer,

it is all about draft beer.

 

Respectfully,
