In the case of the Mets, I haven't been to a game...since the above. Long story, but the cliff notes are that a Shea Stadium box seats usher dragged me to that game insisting that I attend.....

Red Sox - 4

Mets - ? (Hello?!?! Bueller?)

But, but, the previous Mets owners were busy exposing Bernie Maddoff & his ponzi program.

...because I finally got to go swimming in a pool again!

JanGD · 06-28-2021, 08:29 AM

...because I found this forum with possibly good coding info on the N55 for my M235i (not an F30 but hey, same engine

)

...because the closing is finally over, and we now have the place to build our future retirement garage.....

Hi, the rates are different depending on the experience, skills and knowledge, as well as the technologies that the consultant owns, but in general I think that you can find out more here it consulting rate

...because I just received notice a few minutes ago that my employer is selling the building where my office is located. You know, the nearly-vacant 3-story building off the beaten path that I share with 5 colleagues...with a huge empty parking lot.

Why is it a good day?

They have no free offices to move us into, so we will probably get to WFH for possibly a year or more!!!!!

My new CPU arrived today. I'm upgrading my 4.5 year old homebuilt computer from an i7-7700K 4-core to the new AMD Ryzen 9 5900K 12-core 24 thread CPU. The required new mobo (ASUS Crossfire) should arrive Friday. Fun, fun, fun!

I don't know what any of that means. Can it stream p0rn?

CPU = Central Processing Unit, the core of all computers.

I'm a long-time flight simulator enthusiast and the latest sim from Microsoft requires a pretty high-end computer to achieve good frame rates and high detail.

So my late 2012 MacBook Pro with the i5 processor is probably not a good candidate?

Joekerr · 06-30-2021, 08:01 PM

Last day of my deadline. I'm still going to pull a midnight to make it, but this should be the last night for a while.

So not so much today, but tomorrow will be a good day...

Same here. Removed the CD drive and moved the original spinning drive there, then installed an SSD for the OS. It's still a very capable laptop.
