Got the call a little while ago. We are good to go on the car. I'll see about taking some pics / video of the machine.

Tell him to ask for a redress # which will make border crossing hopefully less painful in the future. One of my best friends had the same thing happen and whenever he flew/did a land crossing he had to plan on an additional 5 hours to clear poo poo up which happened each time. The best time was when he and his very pregnant wife were put in separate holding cells for hours until they could figure poo poo out. To top it off, the guy is the most mild mannered, easy going guy on the face of the planet and is a elementary school principal. Once he got his redress #, it went from happening each time he hit the border to not a single problem since.

I'm in Phoenix and there's, like, one e85 pump at 7th/Indian school. Don't know about availability in other parts.

At the airport dropping off GF's kid, then heading out on a 6 hour drive down to vandenburg to hang at a beach and visit her ex husband's cousin (whom apparently picked her side over his, since he's a cheating dick) and watch the SpaceX launch tomorrow before driving back.

My girl and I built a birdhouse with some scrap pressure treated lumber. I got tired of waiting for her to paint it and just nailed it to her playset with the Paslode. Sparrows in the spring. Boring. Just got new neighbors -- Bluebirds. Super cool!

The built in defrag in Windows 10 always shows all of my spinning drives as having 0-1% fragmentation, and that they've been defragmented in the past week. Awesome, good to know the auto defrag is working. After deleting >200GB of stuff on one drive early this week, I figured I'd run it manually. It completed in less than 5 seconds, showing 0% fragmentation. Wait, what? No, that can't be right. Downloaded Defraggler. Took 3 loving days to defrag that drive (4TB) - it finally finished early this morning (that was a bit nerve wracking, since we got a pretty good storm overnight.. but the PC is on a UPS, at least). It was reporting 18% fragmentation when it started. Another drive is showing 39%.  The only upside is the drive showing 39% fragmentation only has ~120GB of stuff on it (1TB drive), and it's an internal drive (the 4TB is external, on USB 3.0), so it shouldn't take 3 days.. I hope.

I doubt I'll see any real performance boost, since the big drive is purely movies/tv shows/music, but the 1TB has some applications on it, along with my Plex database. randomidiot fucked around with this message at 06:15 on Jun 25, 2017 |

I think my gaming days are over for real now. I can't keep up with hardware. I downloaded the new DooM today on the steam sale. 78 gigabytes. I did a double take. I might have to move it off my SSD if I run out of space in the future, or if I want to buy a second modern game. My PC is barely below the minimum requirement, I just don't have the love for games that would prompt me to dedicate this kind of money and time to it anymore. That said, even on an i3 4160 and GTX 750 Ti card it plays smooth and looks amazing. I accidentally triggered some high quality setting and it choked the playback to about 1 FPS, but drat the frames looked good. Like really good. I had to restart the game to get it to reconfigure. But at least now the games are smart enough to read your PC and set the game up to run right. And even at the low quality settings I'm forced to run at, it looks better than DooM³ ever did. I played about 4 minutes before my daughter reminded me that I needed to do something for her. She's at her mom's now so tomorrow might just end up being a play DooM day with a junkyard break in between. I need a few things and I have some cores to return.

Holy poo poo. My SSD is a whopping 120GB. And it's pretty close to full just from the OS and the few games I have on it. Wonder how bad it would stutter on my i5 2500k and GTX 650 Ti  everdave posted:I have worked on at least 1-2k computers the past 2 years. You don't need to defrag anymore.

Defragging just shags your SSD turbo quickly. Don't do it. In other news, after three weeks, I finally had a free, kid-free day. It's time.  And, a NEW SEASON OF HOUSE OF CARDS HOLY poo poo  My loving jam. I built my Lego shuttle a few years ago (and posted in genchat here in AI about it, too) watching..season 3 I think?  This fucker's huge!  The absolute best part is, even though you can't tell from this angle...  ...it's loving 1:1 with the Up Goer Five poster!  It's also to scale with the previous Lego shuttle set. Kickass!

Oh good I'm not the only one OCD enough to throw labels on some switches. Except mine are glorious 80s almond toggles. I blame it on them being in the middle of a long wall instead of being near what they actually control. Or maybe it's just early dementia.  Metal Geir Skogul posted:Defragging just shags your SSD turbo quickly. Don't do it. Oh gently caress no. That's what TRIM (and Samsung Magician) is for. I'm only running defrag on spinning drives (7.6 TB of storage in this PC, 120GB of it is SSD). Samsung Magician and SSD Life both report the drive is in good health (SSD Life claims it has over 9 years of use remaining, don't know how accurate that is, but Magician shows relatively low writes for its age, I think - it's 4 yrs old, shows 16TB of writes). randomidiot fucked around with this message at 10:02 on Jun 25, 2017 |

Land Rover temp gauge seems to read quite high, but I think it's the regulator for the gauges causing it, rather than it being an actual cooling issue. Of course, I completely forgot that if it causes the temp gauge to read high, it will also cause the fuel gauge to read high. Good thing I carry an extra gallon with me! Landie community in action though, in the time it took me to get the can out and pour it in, a guy in a P38 had pulled over to ask if I needed a hand.
