I remember people with various "tunes" at the racetrack would run this stuff. It definitely smelled like candy!

Welp. Now I'm in a wikipedia hole of how cats came to be.

This is great. I remember playing this for the first time at a Wizards of the Coast in the mall. They had 8 or so PCs on a LAN in the back of the store. My first true LAN party I guess.

Interesting. I work in higher ed and we have thousands of GPUs under my team. Rarely ever seen a failure. Mostly when we put consumer grade GPUs in servers (Nvidia doesn't like this). True server-grade GPUs never have any problems.

New comment by grubbs in "EverQuest"

grubbs — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 23:31:40 +0000

One random story I have...I remember there was a legit riot on the Prexus EQ forums I was on because SOE decided to drop Windows 95 support for Everquest. I believe it was because Win95 wouldn't support DirectX 6 or something. I was good to go though...I had Win 98 and a Geforce MX 240 I purchased at Best Buy.

The B300 8-way SXMs will use around 1.4kW for each GPU. I think the TDP on an H100 is like 700W.

Living in Baltimore was a mess with rats until the city issued the rat-proof trash bins. Now I rarely ever see them.

This happened in my city. One day my Rite Aid randomly became a Walgreens. Then a few weeks ago I got an email saying my Walgreens is "Temporarily Closed". It's not reopened and I had to xfer all of my prescriptions to a store much further away.
