yeah, pretty much in California, it is all industrial-sized farming. If it is a "family" farm, it is a family that bought out a whole bunch of other families a while ago, and incorporated...

But, the PS5 is *highly specialized* for running games/graphics....if our PC's didn't have to run the (bloated) Win OS with all its spyware, we would have a lot more resources to spare.... To give a historical example...the Sega Genesis (Mega Drive) was fairly unimpressive hardware-wise, but...

He'll be fin at 1080p ... the only caveat is, I hope he has an SSD!

I just found another book I may be interested in...I guess I'll order it and find out: https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/12/books/review/enemy-of-all-mankind-steven-johnson.html?action=click&module=Well&pgtype=Homepage&section=Book%20Review I had never heard of this guy, but, what a fascinating...

Interesting, there is at least some good news for India: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/may/14/the-coronavirus-slayer-how-keralas-rock-star-health-minister-helped-save-it-from-covid-19 They even made a film about the Health Ministers response to a previous outbreak (nipah virus in...

I still hold out hope for the Starfarer...I'm not going to do anything to it until the actual refueling mechanic comes into the 'verse, then I'm going to see then. If nothing else, it will make a great CCU up to any other number of ship...but I'm hoping refueling will still be a way of making...

Look! I called it back on March 23rd!

Only 1? ha ha...the metal gimbal of the Gunfighter Mk. iii makes it superior to all their other sticks, and puts it on par with the Virpil sticks. I've been toying with the idea of getting those, but, I really need something like the scroll wheel on the stick, like what the Virpil Constellations...

Yeah, very important to note that a tech demo (while impressive) is not a game....and definitely is not an MMO....and absolutely is not an MMO on the scale that CR is planning. Crowd funding for Star Citizen 2 coming Soon™!

New headline: "SC delayed 5 more years as CR orders switch to Unreal engine...." Joke, of course....

With contact tracing, I would expect some fluctuations with some increases, as you are actually identifying *everybody* and not letting any cases slip through your net. Fingers crossed!

Prowler nerf coming in 3...2... actually, the Prowler nerf will likely come in 3.10, ha ha. When the Carrack came out, people were stripping the turrets off of those and putting them on the 600i, but I heard you can't do that now. That was quite a gunship, as well. In general, they make the...

If you go back a couple pages, the news articles quoted was about how hospitals are losing money because pretty much *all* elective surgeries have been canceled...additionally, there has been a huge drop-off in other services provided at hospitals because people just don't want to go to a...

But, CR said there's nothing to win...so it can't be "pay to win!" Ergo, towit, et cetera, etc.
