wow it's freezing cold, foggy and rainy over here in Sao Vicente... i'm glad to hear it's not gonna be quite so miserable

yeah, it has to be a chicken first because an egg is not capable of doing anything except turning into a chicken

the same logic applies to rivers and seas - do we see water on mars? that's because it starts out as a naked rock

there is this fairytale that mars used to have life... no, it's not possible, it never got big enough to have a strong magnetosphere like earth, and it hasn't been in the goldilocks temperature zone for a long long time either, both conditions are required - water does a lot towards making a stable temperature but it can't overcome the constant bombardment with radiation

we aren't evolved from retarded fish frogs

the sea is much younger than the land, much much much younger

once this planet only had rivers

where do you think that water came from anyway?

recent research has discovered many natural sources of hydrogen bubbling out of the ground

just add oxygen, there's your source of water

if the water came from the earth then how could life have come from the sea???

it obviously must have started in the cracks where the hydrogen was available to turn into water

i told you, mycology

mushrooms

you mean tissue culture? no, mycology!

sheesh, i had no idea what a statist was richard stallman

and you are seeing it during the worst weather of the whole year

wow... from stallman's blog, via mastodon, to nostr... that's some crazy stuff going on there...

have fun zapping poors?

i just discovered the wonders of portuguese customs category lists

i ended up listing petri dishes as vacuum insulated glass container... near enough xD

anyone know of a good, english language version of the portuguese customs codes to help me and my good vendor with shipping USA to PT?

man, the winter chill blowing down from greenland is hitting hard rn

i hope we get a warm weekend

when i got here the airbnb hostess tried to tell me there was no tourist down season here

uh, yeah, definitely this is not the tourist season lol

about the only thing you can do in these conditions is a really good rain suit and waterproof boots and walk the levadas and freeze your titsoff it must be below 15'C right now

it doesn't use extension to log in?

also, how is the sync process working? high frequency git-style change sets or?

ah, temporary possible solution: deploy spare 500W PSU to feed the second GPU power input... ugly, but it would do... and also, if this is the problem, then the memory glitch actually is not a fault but from a voltage drop

just looking up the options for a replacement and it's abysmal rn for getting a grunty PSU any time soon

i can just top the power pin and route a cable and leave the case open

if it really bugs me that much

unless there is some way to gimp the GPU so it doesn't run so fast... underclock it maybe... might be less ugly

damn would be pretty hilarious for once i'm not OC and i bought high spec stuff but didn't give it enough juice to run

it's very probable that weak power on the memory can cause it to fail to retrieve bits here and there, not only from failed due to overheat

the smell was strong... it did not really smell like a GPU to be honest, i know that vinyl ugh from fusion of power circuits

actually, it could be insufficient power

it could be the PSU that is faulty

i remember after i got it, reading that 750W was ok but not at high load... could just be the video card is having insufficient power and the PSU is now somewhat damaged from overload

yes i suspect memory fault also... but at the same time clearly is only affecting one game and not another

i am having a small sad this evening

my fancy rx 7800 xt at one point with the case fan not turned up i got a bad smell

everything was ok, until tonight, and now there is random little blue pixels appearing now and then, mostly when there is heavy processing in games

idk how much this is bothering me but it seems like maybe i have weaksauce silicon in here

let's see if it recurs with other games than mad max 2015

friend is a misspelling

it should be fiend

i can be your fiend, you wanna be my fiend?

let's go and do in our enemies together!
