It was moving at the time of the photo. They poop, it turns over, and these two are utterly mesmerized by it.

They'll come tearing ass from another room if they hear it just to watch.

 

Is this the same as watching your own poop flush down the toilet?

Tbh, I'm super happy with the performance I'm getting. I did dig through my bios and found an old OC to 4.7 GHz that got me a few extra FPS on the low side.

I'm playing on my TV right now. My monitors are also over a decade old. I couldn't run faster than 60 FPS right now even if I wanted to lol but I appreciate the thought.

But aside from ray tracing being off, I'm running 1080p at ultra settings perfectly fine. I'm just super stoked my ancient CPU can still run newer/more intense titles. It's like being around in 2010 using a CPU from 1999. If you were using a Celeron that went in a slot, you probably weren't running Windows 7, let alone Crysis lol

I actually dug in my BIOS and found a very old profile that I saved. So now I'm running at 4.7 GHz. I forgot I saved that. It does make her toasty though. But hey, who cares? These aren't rare. Replacement cost is 50-70 bucks. Suppose I can swing that if I roast it to death lol

I mght have to play with RAM speeds. I unlocked the frame rate and was hitting 110 max. My TV only runs at 60 Hz so that's where I'm leaving it. Still, the minimum was up to like 53 from 48. So it was still worth it.

I guess I didn't get it across that I do already run Debian lol I love my Debian. It's outdated, as is my '97 Honda. But like my '97 Honda, it just works every time. And I do use KDE. :) Ran GNOME for a long time and finally made the jump earlier this year. My customizations make it look and feel a lot like GNOME (because I really liked GNOME a lot), but with extra customizations that GNOME just wouldn't let me do ootb. I like it so much. It doesn't feel like Mac. It doesn't feel like Windows. It's totally its own thing. I love that.

My bad that it didn't get across that I do use Debian lol I have been for a while now. I don't mind dealing with outdated packages because it's stable. Would a more up-to-date distro be more or less stable? I don't know enough to comment on it, but with the stability issues I experienced in Windows (unrelated to the oc), I really wanted something that I could throw on there and leave alone for a few years.

I also drive a car from the 90s and I look at any IoT device with contempt. The refrigerator stays off my network.

But yeah, with the Win 10 EOL coming up, I wasn't gonna upgrade because my machine really still does everything I want it to do. This was a bit more of a shit post. My PC didn't hit 60 FPS in a game that it doesn't even meet minimum spec for. Iirc, Cyberpunk requires at least a 7700K. Wasn't looking for advice. Just messing around. ;)

The most I use my PC for outside of gaming is surfing the web, spreadsheets, and hosting files. Nice to have my own collection of movies to stream when the Internet goes down lol

I'm not implying that my PC running Debian is twice as fast as it was on Windows. I just really appreciate two things about it: 1) This CPU is still fast enough for what I want from it a decade later, and 2) That Linux was so much easier to learn than I ever anticipated. I guess it helps that I ran Ubuntu on various laptops for a decade before moving my gaming PC to a Linux distro.

 

Can't even achieve stable 60 fps anymore. What a hunk of junk. /s

Since this isn't really Linux-specific....EDIT: [I use] Debian btw?

Look, I'm not about to suggest the 4790K is the best CPU for the money today, but if you bought one way back in '14 and upgraded around it over time, you're still doing alright. This is still at stock clock. Been meaning to OC it. I previously ran an R9 290 until my wife surprised me with the 4070 for my birthday a couple years ago.

Great CPU then. Still pretty good today. Maybe I'll still give it a few years before I upgrade.

My dogs sleep at least sixteen hours a day.

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 12 points 9 months ago

Maybe half of one, tops.

 

The guy on the right? That's Thorin. He's 12 years old, and a wonderful cat. He's annoying sometimes, but he's also incredibly sweet and patient. Great with kids and strangers.

The guy on the left is our latest addition. He's probably about a 1½ years old, but we don't know because he was feral. He randomly showed up in our yard about 8-10 months ago. The first time he didn't scurry away after my wife stuck her hand out, he bapped it. So she calls him Bam Bam. But she also spelled it "Bamm." So I decided his full name is: Jean Clawed Van Bamme Bamme.

I think she hates it lol

She had been wanting to bring him in. My stipulation was that he be neutered before that happens. So on the 18th, we got him neutered. We weren't sure if he'd stay inside or if he'd be a TNR. To be safe, we did get his ear ticked. We just needed to keep him indoors and separated for a couple days.

But he adjusted to indoor life so well that I'm pretty sure he'll be living inside on a permanent basis. He's kinda shy, but really sweet. Thorin picked one fight with him, lost, and has been sweet on him since. I guess he finally realized he's old as dirt. We checked them after. Everyone was fine, just bruised egos. Our other cat, Izzy (age 9 years, female, calico, medium long hair with a lion cut, smelly), is anxious and hates strangers, and she's been nice to him since he came in.

So anyway, now I feel bad for the ear tick. It just made him pointlessly asymmetrical.

But he's still really cute.

He'll need a little more time, but I think he'll lower those walls sooner or later.

I gave 100% for the first maybe hour, then gave up on the rest of my day. So that averages out to like 12.5%.

The way they let their god get away with everything is why they let their politicians get away with everything, and why they will continue to vote them in, despite those politicians' track records of enriching themselves and leaving their constituents out to dry.

She told me she didn't want to hire me but was outvoted. That she really stuck her neck out for me by even letting me come on.

She never trained me to do my job. Just handed me the manuals, told me to read them, then expected near perfection. Never provided any real guidance. Never actually assigned more than a couple tasks to me, then nagged me because I wasn't doing enough. She made me feel singled out. Like nobody else in the office liked me either.

My dog died in March of '19. I barely got any empathy from her. I turned in my two weeks in early May. I was one more write up from being fired anyway. When I handed her my resignation letter, she looked at me and said, "Are you sure?" I meant to say, "Are you fucking really asking me that?" Instead, I just coldly said, "Yes." Turned my back, and walked out of her office. I kept my head down for the next couple weeks, collected my last paycheck, and rapid fired applications for the next few months.

Fuck you Sarah. I hope you lose your car keys just badly enough that your morning takes an extra fifteen minutes every day for the rest of your life.

Look, it's not "all you can eat." It's "all you can eat."

"You" is not the subject noun, it's "all." You refers to the group of people. The buffet is open to the public, and any paying member of the public may eat. Your honor, the phrase has been misinterpreted all along. It was never about allowing any one person to eat until they no longer can, but about allowing any paying customer to eat the food offered at the buffet.

I rest my case.

At what point is a van so big that it's a bus?

[–] spicytuna62@lemmy.world 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Whoa, that's a double nostalgia, all the way. Oh my god, whooo!!

 

Linux makes computing better. ♥️

 

Vans and minivans do everything trucks and SUVs do, and they do it better. Every time. No exception. SUVs and crossovers are just worse minivans for people who think they're too cool to drive a minivan.

And those outside of North America largely need not apply. I wish we could just have a robust public transit system here, but apparently, public transit is antithetical to muh freedum or something. Or so they tell me.

And that's not even getting into the point the post makes, which is that these monstrosities are getting bigger and more dangerous to pedestrians, yet our governments do nothing to stop it.

 
 
 

I've been a huge Car Seat Headrest fan since 2016. I've been streaming it while waiting for it to be delivered.
