    Great article on the IHME model, and how it might have started to be informative, but now perhaps not as good as other models. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2020/5/2/21241261/coronavirus-modeling-us-deaths-ihme-pandemic And here is a list of other models that are out there and being used...

    Opinions on custom computer builders

    At various points in time, NewEgg will have a good sale, where it is cheaper to buy a pre-built than it is to put a rig together yourself. I think what you want to to is pick a itme when you are ready to upgrade, and then price compare then. I think we are a in a weird time now, normally there...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    In line with your question, here is a scary thing...Vietnam and China both did everything right (too immediate action, lockdown, quarentine sick people, contact tracing, etc.), and even after that, cases are popping up out of nowhere! *Note --> my fat trend line is hiding the low number of cases...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    There seems to be a person (or persons) on this thread who ... hard to describe... holds a lot of contradictory views (the Deep State this, the government that, but Trump is telling it straight...) who when you disagree with him, then starts engaging in either ad hominem attacks, or mis-quoting...

    Mother of God. Is it happening?

    CR has always been adamant that we will not be able to buy military ships in game, which is why we have the F7C and not the "A" version (the Hornet upgrade that people erroneously call the military version is actually really just a skin), although he did make it sound like we could potentially...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Well, the "really interesting" thing is that one group seems to think they can make this a political issue that will unite their base, and at the same time drive away other voters / make people more disinterested in voting, and thus secure a path to winning the next election. Bizarre, I know...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I would expect the President to show some leadership. Instead, what we are getting is his typical "Heads I win, tails you lose" strategy... He knows the popular thing is to open every thing wide open, so he sends out idiotic tweets about "Liberate this state", and when something goes wrong, he...

    Introduction to Guilded, an alternative to Discord

    No love for TeamSpeak, anymore? lol Looks pretty nifty, I'll have to start switching over. Discord was a huge step up from TeamSpeak, if this is better, that is saying a lot.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    Well, *my* memory is that China locked down an entire city on Jan 23 (which we all watched in real time), and then on January 31st we had the first reports of asymptomatic transmission of COVID-19, which was when I started wondering when the US govt. was going to get off their ass and start...

    60 fps a thing yet?

    I've heard frames seem to be a bit lower, or at least more inconsistnet this patch. They are definitely ramping up their code to use mor cores...older gen CPU's will be sucking, but, at this point in the upgrade cycle you would be better off just waiting, unless you can get a great deal on a 6...

    Cryptocurrency world - Selling hashpower, mining, and making money

    lol, I'm in California and that is exactly what I'm paying for electricity...and it's going up, since the utility is able to treat the customer & taxpayer like bottomless wallet, simultaneously paying out executive bonuses while also declaring bankruptcy and getting the state govt. to bail them...
