one cop... not that there aren't more... but are there really a lot more?
there are plenty of racist cops but to call them members of white terrorist organizations is far fetched
but have at it. why don't you speed on 89 and then have a discussion about it with one vermont's local KKK members?
oh and you won't be lacking for moonbeams reading the Kos.

Damn deer stole my bird feeder.
I have two feeders on a rod iron dbl hook - the kind you stake in the ground. They eat off it all the time without an issue but things must have gotten out of hand last night because this morning both feeders were gone. I found one halfway down the hill from where the hanger is but not the other. Honestly.“When you see something that is not right, not just, not fair, you have a moral obligation to say something.

When the boss forwards me an email from the IT group without reading it and asks do we need one of these?
Me - you aren't doing nor planning any high computational research, you work with at most 1 TB of data a time, we are not doing any genomic modeling that requires HPC, and they are not free...but the gaming would be phenomenal!
1. Standard computer – consists of 4 nodes, each node with 384 GB RAM, 2X Intel Xeon Scalable Gold 6240 processor 18-core, 2.6GHz, $39,000
2. Mid-memory computer, with 768 GB RAM, 2X Intel Xeon Scalable Gold 6248 processor 20-core, 2.5GHz, $15,000
3. High-memory computer, with 1.5 TB RAM, 2X Intel Xeon Scalable Gold 6248 processor 20-core, 2.5GHz, $21,000
The Standard computer is a 4-node unit. Therefore, you could purchase this type of computing power at an individual node level, one up to four nodes. Each node will cost an estimated $9,750.

It's an equity lease. No additional warranty. So, they called me and said the CPU is toast. $2300, but since I'm just out of warranty they will reduce it to $300. The next problem is they can't find any available...hmm. Looks like they won't be available until late September. Then she gave me the wink wink you didn't hear this from me, but I have to believe these will be recalled. Well, not shocked considering they don't have any!
I'm glad that we just bought the extended warranty for my wife's new car. When the sales guys said it had 20 something little computers I was like oh fuck. Those are bound to fail. I think if was just over 1k that got us 10yrs. That one will pay for itself.

I know! When I was at the Center for Astrophysics, it would crack me up after office hours, when all the post docs were playing video games with other postdocs based all over on their high end workstations on the university network. Now, those guys that I worked with there, some of them did need HPC.

Times like that make me REALLY wish I carried sidewalk chalk as standard equipment in the glove box...
Beautiful.

the way the lines appear to be painted is what makes it look like it's not a space.

^^^ Time to get studded tires
What's worse though - someone parking like that, or someone parking so far back that their tiny car sticks out into the lot further than the largest bro-dozer?

My Acer Chromebook just received it's last ChromeOS update according to the message from Google. Unfortunately Google only provides OS updates for 6.5 years after the device family is released. Who knew? I bought it in 2014 and it is still going strong, in fact it runs better than the Samsung Chromebook 3 that I bought to replace it because the Acer trackpad is developing a dead click spot on the right hand side. After 6 mos with the Samsung, I dug the Acer back out of the closet and use it with a wireless mouse when the trackpad really bothers me. It's the C720-2800 with 4GB/32GB. Slightly less common than the 2GB/16GB version. It was also a hard to find price to performance point. It still is. Solid rig. I'll eventually install ArchLinux on it and will probably spend $35 for a 128GB M.2 drive, however that's not the point. I want it to keep running the same way it has been for the last 5.5 years. Sure, it probably could run CloudReady too. Again, not the point. I originally bought it fully intending to run Linux on it and ditch Chrome OS. Then I decided I liked it as a Chromebook running Chrome OS. I liked the peace of mind of not having to run in developer mode. I liked that it just worked. I liked that it was a relatively incrementally more secure platform. I liked that it updated itself painlessly. Which brings me to today. I am annoyed.
