Old Man and The sea! remember watching as a kid!!! Spencer Tracy? Is this in the discussion? Or am I out there somewhere?
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...
 
Not me. Intel all the way. Got badly burned by AMD hardware incompatibilities and off-the-wall errata back during late-90s. Never again.
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.

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.

Then again there's this as they lose their fear of people. Now they live along golf courses because it's easy living. They're the largest Feline I've heard purr (awesome sound) and more closely related to your house cat than the Jaguar.

As subsidized predators their endangered preferred prey is threatened by the high numbers not subject to natural habitat limiting factors. True carnivores that rarely scavenge when there are other meat sources.

Trying to protect these guys along the southwest border is already a difficult challenge without the flipping societal chaos.

Yep, I have been chased by a few bitches too!
 
One of my railroad friends, Russ Hamilton of Hamilton, ONT played bagpipes for the "Queens Brigade". He used to bring them on his trips to the U.S. but they got really picky about the ivory in them so he had to stop.

He could entertain anyone within a half mile of him.

Did they expect him to resurrect the original owner of the ivory and give it back?

It was the dearndest thing....


(Reference that one and you know your stuff. No Google...)
 
Hope everyone has a good day and stays dry. My computer went down a few days ago and it looks like the motherboard is the culprit. So, I will probably have to purchase another laptop and I’ll not post much. This is from my phone, and I hate it.

Hear ya. Phone is why I'm not posting much lately. No time to get in front of a regulat computer right now.

Couple points..........

Various debates relevant to PC hardware always materialize. AMD vs Intel. AMD (formerly ATI) GPUs vs Nvidia GPUs. Apple vs Windows. Linux vs Apple vs Windows. Etc, etc, etc.

Simple answer is usually what works best for individuals and organizations.

Another example. Apple operates a plant here in ATX producing Mac Pro high-end desktops. At one time, Apple utilized Windows servers for assembly because no existing Apple operating system is capable of such tasks. One would think Apple might say "screw this", load up machines with linux and break away from WinTel. Nope. Out of the box, Windows still offers the best deal with least amount customization. Hopefully things changed since photo taken 7 years ago.

Personally speaking, I'm happy AMD exists. Competition = good. Imagine a world without alternatives. Opteron CPUs finally captured 10% market share in the server CPU market. Some predictions indicate 25% AMD server CPU market share represents a realistic goal.

At any rate, I "go with what I know". Except for a few AMD CPUs as test units when wife and I operated our hardware business way back when, I've used Intel CPUs and Intel-based systems for nearly 40 years. It's all about trust.
 
Some people who learned something...

My Dad used to say; "Let me learn you something.."

These people learned!!! THANK YOU!!!


Much love... There IS still hope!!!

Nice morning in the Buckeye State....but not as cool as the last few. But they say it won't last. Good chance of showers later today and t'storms. High in the upper 80s. And more rain the next few days. So bring on the rain for the garden and the flower gardens. Spent all day yesterday mowing the yard...didn't get to the fields....so the grass is ready for some rain.

MIL's 87th b'day is today so we're having a b'day lunch for her. It used to be where we would invite some of her friends...but they are all gone now except two. One in a nursing home and another who's in pretty bad shape and doesn't get out of the house. She lost her best friend of 50+ years last week. It's hard getting old.

Don't do sushi.

Good morning D-League. Its currently 59° here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring sunny skies and a high around 90°.

Everyone stay safe out there today.

Are those brushes underneath the trollies to sweep the excrement off the streets? 😉

Y'all have a good Friday.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F, clear and calm. 76% humidity. Today's high may reach 95°F. Tropical depression in the Gulf apparently looks like it will hit Louisiana instead of TX. Bah!

Happy Friday!

Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

There's a Warrior-Cat depression hitting about now because the national day today deals with something I don't eat.
 
Good Friday morning

Local Weather Report: We have 72° with partly cloudy skies with a 17% chance of rain this afternoon. Our high will be 85°. We have a Tropical Depression forming in the Gulf that has a chance of hitting my brother's place in North Florida. I wish we could change directions and send it my way. 20 or 25 inches would be welcome. But our time will come.

Finished Jeremiah Chapter 14. We have not quite reached draught conditions as the Jews did but we could use some rain. It will come
