This morning, I woke up to a real feel of -34 degrees F at almost 8 AM.. Current actual temp is -3 degrees and a real feel of -25 degrees. Get to deal with this through Tuesday and I'm not even in the worst of the cold areas.

I've been watching her too with this Mass Effect play through (she started with ME1) - being active military, she has some interesting insights into how some of the things are similar to the real military. However, it's rough as heck watch as she just breaks down, as it reminded her of the...

Since I would like to share:

It was cold, windy, and flurries here, but I had a steady stream of kids for the first hour and a half... They barely made a dent in the candy we put out, but the non-candy stuff we put out went over pretty good. We had squishy eyes, necklaces, bracelets, glow-in-the-dark bats and hands, and...

More Unity - now they're backtracking - kinda. "We have heard you," Unity wrote. "We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the...

US National Hurricane Center's prediction for Lee from this morning:

As someone who's running my TP-Link Deco mesh with wired cabling between the two - I would heavily recommend this option if at all possible. Least possible interference in your signal.

If (big if) one report is to believed (as it says they had permission from the family), he had caught Covid earlier this year and passed away unexpectedly due to a heart attack... Even if that's not true, 36 is way too young (younger than I am) and he had young kids and was planning on getting...

Did the drivers get updated? I had an issue before with buggy drivers. Microsoft has been pushing drivers in Windows Updates.

Badd Medicine A group of 4 guys who react to movies and TV - sometimes one (or more) of them have seen whatever they are watching, but not all of them have. The one(s) who have seen it, don't spoil it for others.

I just got power back after 9.5 hours... I live in the eastern side of central Illinois and was in the path of today's "derecho" - totally not fun to be in and really not fun to not have power that long.

I was able to play a PC game finally with the upgraded RAM and what an improvement. The game itself was able to use more RAM than I previously had installed (non-optimized game - 7 Days to Die) and while playing, I maxed out at 50% of installed RAM, without having to shut down anything else for...

Yeah - I'm not going to be surprised about that - it's expected behavior. I work with in the Virtual Desktop/End User Compute world (Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops/VMWare Horizon) and see that type of thing a lot. We have to statically set the Windows Cache size for 'gold image-booted' VMs -...

Just installed a RAM upgrade for my laptop - went from 8 GB to 32 GB (maxed out what the MoBo supports).. Sitting with basics open went from 75-80% RAM to 20-25%. Will have to see how performance is when gaming and doing my Discord D&D/Roll20 gaming where I was hitting 95%-100% RAM, but should...

My sister in law had a package get "delivered" by FedEx to our house (whole other issue as Walmart.com "couldn't" deliver to her house). She got a notice it was delivered by FedEx at 8:50 AM, we looked outside, no package. She called FedEx, first was told to check with neighbors, which was...

My minor victory for the week - noticed over the weekend that the inside of one of the front tires on our truck was really worn badly (tread gone on part of the tire) - which could be one to multiple suspension pieces worn out and lots of $ to replace. Fearing the worst, I jacked it up off the...
