Funny but angering too Sir. That is nearly EXACTLY how it works....
A funny from a friend:
Good Thursday morning
We have a pleasant 71° and sunny, the high is forecast to reach 83°. Possible thunderstorms which we welcome.
Are any of you interpreters of dreams? I had a strange one last night. I was out back and was attacked by a very large panther. I managed to get him under me and pinned to the ground but I knew it was a matter of seconds before he would be in command of this scuffle. So in my mind and dream and thought I have to hit him in the nose NOW. So I swung my right fist and busted him in the nose and then I hit him just as hard with my left fist.
But in real life I swung and hit a very hard wooden night stand by my bed and it made such a loud noise that I woke up my wife. Now I have two bruised hands. So what is the message in this dream? Any clues? Old men will dream dreams and young men will have visions or is it the other way around?
He looked like this and he wanted me for supper

I like this. I have been trying my best to down size and my wife has a hard time giving things up.Interpretation: You've always secretly hated that nightstand but paid too much money for it to just get rid of it.
But this is merely a guess.

Another part of the dream I forgot to mention (it is very hard for me to put all the pieces of a dream) was that my wife was with me when the panther attacked me. I asked her to help me and she walked away, I cried out help, help and she just walked away. Then I hit the panther in the nose.
I think you have the answer Brother "Daniel" Starchief5
Any suggestions?
I noticed some other Dell computers running a lot hotter than comparable HP laptops the past couple years.(Hot used to be bad for computers.

That's still true. Exactly why I'll likely be leaving swampy Windoze (starts everything at boot) behind for a Linux distribution (App programs off until you turn them on) as OS for my future home systems.
Same here. Company based in Austin. Back during 90s and early 2000s, wife and I made lots of $ selling surplus Dell parts.I love Dell. The one I got last year is a "small form factor" desktop and it is fast. It has one solid state hard drive and one regular hard drive. knock on wood; so far it has been trouble free and can gobble up high definition movies like they are nothing.
It was expensive, but I ordered it as a custom deal through their small business department and now I have a specific contact if I need it. But so far I have never had to call back.

We try avoiding frozen hamburger patties whenever possible. Usually grab ground chuck over ground beef.Any of the D, use frozen hamburger patties? I like fresh ground round or chuck, but yesterday we decided we wanted a burger, didn't have any fresh, so I grilled some from Kroger, Private select Chuck and Brisket, best frozen hamburger I have ever had!!!

Not me. Intel all the way. Got badly burned by AMD hardware incompatibilities and off-the-wall errata back during late-90s. Never again.89°➢117° HOT!![]()

When I worked at Conexant and, later, NXP, I probably ordered $25K in hardware from Newegg for our design center. Great company. Visited with Newegg reps at CES back in 2002. Solid reputation.When I was with the Army I bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment from Newegg. It has been a while just because I have not been in the market for those sort of items.
I bought from them personally too.

I agree and also swear by Linux for "heavy lifting" and server operating systems. We extensively utilized the operating system at my former workplace for number crunching. Rock solid. I maintained racks and racks of Sun hardware running Red Hat linux. I also administered Linux-based mail servers between 2001 to mid-2005. Very reliable. One of my servers once went 3 years without a reboot.My son, a computer engineer for Norton Hospital group in Louisville, swears by Linux.
You can do that here and I hope you're dreaming about dogs too or it's going to be a long hunt because you won't likely see one otherwise. A .357 is perfect for this. Pistol or carbine.In my dreams I go out hunting mountain lions! I am one bad dude. 🤣
No I can't interpret it. But it reminded me of Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea:"Are any of you interpreters of dreams? I had a strange one last night. I was out back and was attacked by a very large panther.

Austin, I would love to see you and my son discuss crap like this. I would set back and try to start fights! 😁I agree and also swear by Linux for "heavy lifting" and server operating systems.

But for consumer use? Nope, Graphical User Interface (GUI) is simply not there yet. Hence Apple and Microsoft rule this space.

Fantastic post.No I can't interpret it. But it reminded me of Hemingway's "Old Man and the Sea:"
"He no longer dreamed of storms, nor of women, nor of great occurrences, nor of great fish, nor fights, nor contests of strength, nor of his wife. He only dreamed of places now and of the lions on the beach."
As I recall, Hemingway used the recurring image of lions on the beach as a way to symbolize Santiago the Fisherman searching in his dreams to find his lost youth, feelings of happiness and strength and of hope...
But the fisherman was not crazy enough to wrestle them...
Fantastic post.
I used to read Hemingway. I did not understand him until I got old.
But in my mind I am still a lion, just an old lion.
Bert - I prefer to think of myself as a "Secondhand" Lion. Sort of like Robert Duvall in this clip..Fantastic post.

😁 I may watch that tonight.Bert - I prefer to think of myself as a "Secondhand" Lion. Sort of like Robert Duval in this clip..
Bert, I could not agree more. Vintage Duvall, both of them...Not Gus McCrae level (nothing is) but very strong...😁 I may watch that tonight.
2003 era brought me two fantastic movies. Second Hand Lions and Free Range. I love both.
Same here! Started watching in the lead up to 86, but that World Cup was the first total soccer binge for me.Yes, several times, both men and women. Began seriously following soccer back in 1986.
No, Cord, you are correct. Spencer Tracy played the part in the movie, based on Ernest Hemingway's last successful novel. I believe (haven't seen the movie for many years) there is a voice over about the lions on the beach in the movie as well...Old Man and The sea! remember watching as a kid!!! Spencer Tracy? Is this in the discussion? Or am I out there somewhere?
Only saw this as a play but I had read the story.Old Man and The sea! remember watching as a kid!!! Spencer Tracy? Is this in the discussion? Or am I out there somewhere?
Mine was a FOX.Not a Panther, but I was stalked by a Cougar one time!!!!!
Or, he only had that one night stand and his wife found out about it.Interpretation: You've always secretly hated that nightstand but paid too much money for it to just get rid of it.

I agree with everything you said in your post. I've utilized some Ubuntu and Fedora distros and both seemed stable and flexible on an old obsolete systems. I'll add the caveat the systems were design to upgrade rather than replace. I'd load it onto this system I've got now but it has popped a few caps and not worth repairing so I'll build a newer one. Whatever hardware I chose, will with specific intent, support both OS because I enjoy the ability to change my mind if I feel the need. All my systems are built that way. I loved the mobile functionalities of the MS surface laptop for remote access while being a fed. I felt that it was fantastic solution. My home system server has different purpose and I liked the simplicity of simply plugging into my home hard-wired network. As always, your long ears are welcomed.Not me. Intel all the way. Got badly burned by AMD hardware incompatibilities and off-the-wall errata back during late-90s. Never again.
