    Just ordered 2 of the 1TB 980 Pros. Back-ordered I should say. They limit how many you can order and today's limit was 2. Strangely, they were on sale. I have never seen brand new SKUs go on sale like this. The next 4 I purchase will probably cost more.

    Decided against the smaller capacity version for technical/longevity reasons.

    New plan is to install 3, 1TB 980 Pros on the Motherboard. First drive gets connected directly to the CPU. The two that are connected to the motherboard chipset will be in a RAID 0 striped configuration. That will create a 2TB drive with twice the read and write speed. I will just have to live with only 14,000 MBps reads and 10,000 MBps writes.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in The Man Who Would Be President:

    Trump's hairdo is the manly equivalent of fuck-me pumps, since whenever anybody sees it for the first time, they say 'fuck me, look at that hair-do!'

    Says the man who has Boris Johnson as his leader...šŸ˜„

  • Well, that was easy.

    Hey Ax 'ol buddy.
    Maybe it's because Trump heard you playing piano?
    I really don't know the reason, just guessing like everyone else.
    Could be he heard me playing the piano.
    So, the fence must be to keep one of us out.

    Gloomy Ax, or happy happy Rainman.
    That's what's going on bud.

    @George-K said in Trent Brown's air embolism:

    Toradol...But that's a shot or by mouth only, correct?

    When that stuff first came out, I used to give 60 mg IV. My former partner, who ended up as a pain doc, said, "That's bullshit."

    The nurses in PACU said, "Dr. K, you patients need much less morphine/dilaudid than others we see. What are you doing different."

    I LOVE toradol. Love, love, love...

    I was just going to post a thread about when GK was going to start a thread about that Vienna shooting thing. Really! It's the archetycal "news that GK will make a thread about" thing.

    @Doctor-Phibes said in Stabbing in Quebec City:

    Avaunt, churl.

    Is that a Londoner thing? Do I need to learn that?

    As I've been told, London has been completely taken over by Muslims, so no, a London thing would be 'Die, Infidel!'

    If one dresses up in Middle-Eastern garb and kills people using a sword, one is not considered to be mentally ill, but an Islamic terrorist. If one dresses up like a Crusader and does similar, it goes without saying that one is bonkers. Obviously, one cannot be both.

    Vatican says Pope's comments on same-sex civil unions were taken out of context
    https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/02/europe/vatican-pope-civil-union-intl/index.html
    ā€” ā€” ā€” ā€”
    The Vatican has sought to clarify Pope Francis' comments in support of same-sex civil unions, saying they were taken out of context and do not signal a change in doctrine.

    In a letter sent on October 30 from the Vatican's Secretariat of State to papal representatives (nuncios) around the world, the Vatican said that two comments made by Pope Francis in the film "Francesco" by Russian-born director Evgeny Afineevsky were taken out of context.

  • Just curious: Does Joe have a plan?

    Joe's plan is more free stuff and setting up task forces and boards that will take at least a year to have any effect at all. At heart it is 'I'll do what he did, but BETTER!". National repopening standards are meaningless because the federal government does not have the authority to shut or open the states, short of declaring martial law.

    There are only two ways out of this - therapies and vaccines. Period. Both are being worked on a breakneck speed.
