    As long as there's plenty of Diet Coke and fresh brewed unsweet tea I'm fine.

    @Aqua-Letifer I rarely use external monitors with a laptop. But it is nice to see this one has some power to drive anything I want. It will drive a 4K 43" TV for trade shows. At home, for studio work, it will probably see a 38" Ultra-Wide like what I use on my main workstation. It will probably inherit the one I have now as I would like to upgrade this one to a higher refresh rate which is currently 75Hz I am doing an on-site demo next week for a potential new customer and I needed something in stock, that I could live with for a few years. This seemed to fit the bill. I had a bigger budget but what I "wanted" is not available. I think for the money, this represents very good value with a killer screen, 32GB ram, an RTX 3060 GPU, AMD Ryzen 5800 8 core / 16 thread CPU.

    @Aqua-Letifer said in Kiddo has COVID again.: @George-K said in Kiddo has COVID again.: Update? She almost got kicked out of school due to the coughing. But each day it gets slightly less frequent. Now it's just a few times a day. Glad it's going away, even if slowly. She's probably too young to use an inhaler on her own, and that might have been necessary if her coughing continued.

    Well, things are getting interesting. I got an urgent email this evening from the staff of our other US senator asking for my permission to also submit this same request from her office. I said, "Ja, you betcha!" The plot thickens ...

    @George-K Good question. It took a long time then because it was groundbreaking and the main engineer died in the middle of it. Now, if it took a long time, it would be because of bureaucracy. That definitely wasn’t the problem in the 1870s.

    I told D2: Get a can of skyline, so it’s not a major effort. It’s VERY unusual, and when you first taste it you say, “What the actual fuck?” But then…yeah!

    @George-K said in Dirty Words: @Doctor-Phibes be careful when you say "fanny" in Oz, right @Aqua-Letifer ? Indeed. And you may have eaten too much, but never tell anyone you're stuffed. Like, ever.

    If parents are unwilling to have their 6-year old make a gender choice, what else can you do? Send in the National Guard.
