I did the designs and chose the fabric colors myself, and he handled all the embroidery and sewing. Dude does solid work! I'm going to make a different design for my brother for his birthday, too.

Been kinda bored waiting for my job to start, so I picked up Bob Ross style painting. I've made 6 so far, and I'm enjoying it. As such, I ordered more paint.

My laptop, which has been my sole computing device for a few years choked extremely hard on a new workload that I need to do, so I had to emergency buy a desktop at micro center. It was expensive - my laptop is a quad core Broadwell with a 970M and buttcoin miners destroyed the market segment of cards more powerful than that: CPU: R7 1700 GPU: Asus Strix GTX 1080 RAM: 16GB Corsair DDR4@3000MHz (BIOS update got that stable) Storage: Crucial 2TB SATA SSD (way cheaper than I thought it would be) Mobo: Asus B350 Prime PSU: Corsair semi modular 750W Case: Silverstone sideways something mATX And now I've got nice hash going, should get $30-40/week. Hopefully this will pay for itself with the new workflow long before it does with coins. NewFatMike has a new favorite as of 15:01 on Jun 19, 2017 |

I had to look up what an "R7 1700" was and I honestly though AMD went out of business years ago.

In a bizarre twist of fate, their CPUs are very good and their GPUs are not super great. Quite a time to be alive.

I was not, but I also had a typo. $30-40/week, not per month. Edited to reflect that.

A used one of these from CL: Dual bevel, laser line, and a fairly new-ish fine-toothed blade, to boot. Only cost me $100. It's missing a couple set screws for the table extensions, but those will soon be easily replaced.

Found this at the swap meet for $5. Still works. Same model I used to record demos 20 years ago, which i'm going to remix now. Anml Looper ejuice, pretty much the only juice I gently caress with. Haven't found anything else that tops it.  Hack n slash fun.

As of one move ago, I still had dozens of tapes from back in the day that I had no way to listen too. So much lovely industrial music lost to the ages.

Back then I made a stupid mistake and ran the final mix through my guitar processor to add reverb to it. I added way too much reverb as I was going through some kind of phase, and by the time I realized how wack it was, I no longer had the portastudio, so now I can do a proper transfer without the reverb. Luckily I knew enough to keep all the master tapes.

Yea, it was so loving amazing at the time, but like man like 6 months later my actual audio engineer buddy got a 8 channel ADAT which was like loving magic. In just my adult lifetime there must have been like a half dozen huge jumps in studio tech. These days I can look at a pro console and have like no real idea what I am even looking at.

I wonder if its even possible to come out even let alone make money on buttcoin mining in Canada. I figure just leaving a desktop computer running 24/7 would cost like 30-50 bucks a month in electricty alone. Then you have upgrading your computer components every few years.

I mean, upgrade your components every few years anyway I guess. I'm looking at it as a value add for my hardware purchase, not as the purpose for my hardware. If I can make $100/mo or so just letting the thing go while I don't need it, even netting $50 a month is fine. Pays for a new game or 3.

Yours is sitting idle the majority of the day. If you were mining it would be dedicating all available resources to that and using as much power as it could for that purpose. And throwing off the heat that comes with that, running up your AC bill as well. This is all basically a tax for participating in bitcoin, and one of the myriad reasons it's dumb as gently caress. But there are dozens of threads going over all that.

It isn't profitable anywhere. It may have been early on, but we left that point years ago.

Prices are high enough and nVidia's lead big enough that their lesser efficiencies are overcome by overall speed.

I feel like hypothetically you could just mine a random selection of new cryptocurrencies and hope one blows up later on, but that's got to be a pretty so so value proposition as well. Might be fun if you're into that sort of thing though.

How has the bitcoin bubble not burst by now? It's been out for how many years now, and its still nothing but a niche commodity for investors, instead of being what its supposed to be, a currency used by thousands of retailers and millions of people.
