Why the downvotes? Seems to be pretty helpful for starters.

Hey, my knee jerk answer was what I have always dreamed of doing it if I was immortal - cozy up with all the books ever written.

Please help me understand this. Let’s say I’m a daredevil. My job is to jump from planes and ride bikes over running helicopters, etc.

So let’s say I’m prepping for my latest stunt and there’s a high probability that it’ll kill me. What will be the alternative? Do I just, not do the stunt? Or rather, fate finds a way for that stunt to not happen, perhaps. Maybe by breaking my leg one day before the event?

OR, I can tweak that in my favor and say that there are two options - jumping over a line of burning school buses vs. over a line of running helicopters. Then am I triggering fate to pick only one of these two options (and not the option of breaking my leg a day before)?

If the latter is the case, then I would set up ever increasing death defying stunts and flood the betting market with bets that I won’t die. After all, either stunt is impressive. If the betting process won’t cut it, at least the Red Bull YouTube channel viewership will bring in the moolah for me.

If it is the former, where fate just chickens out and causes me some minor harm (or distraction) so I don’t go get myself killed the next day or the next moment, then what’s the point? Live your life and accept that if you stub your toe, it’s so that you don’t kill yourself of an embolism later. If you miss the bus, assume the bus would have fallen in the water had you been on it.

What the fuck did I just read.

So in the first photo, where exactly is Atlantis? Bottom left?

Fus Roh…

And now it’s down 2.26%

No price for FREEDUMB!

Oh yeah, I’ve got an external 140 TB nigh impossible to fill up! I don’t have download ware any more though. So there’s that. I’ve yet to explore unraid. I’m stuck with windows for now because I got on windows 11 bleeding edge for some reason I can’t remember. Stepping away means I’d have to wipe or dual boot. And I’m… lazy… haha!

Yeah I just read up a little on it. Seems it doesn’t have video out? So it only does processing? That’s kinda cool!

I don’t shy away from buying refurb electronics. But is there a problem with buying used GPUs?

Not looking forward to buying new during this tariff era. So perhaps my local marketplaces might be best…

Wow; thanks for finding that doc. Yeah, I’ve made it work on my system. But I’d like to use some of the bigger models.
