Had cataract surgery this morning in my right eye. They refused to replace my eye with either a terminator eye or Hiroshi optics. Oh well..now I'm left wishing I had my Kakashi headband and wig.

I loved ATI graphics cards. Unfortunately, AMD purchased them with the promise that jobs would not be lost and that manufacturing would remain in Canada. Less than a year later, they ditched Canada and let go - as far as I know - all staff that used to work for ATI.
share.google
AMD confirmed $5.4 billion ATI acquisition 20 years ago today — deal to 'reinvent our industry' paved the way for Radeon GPU innovation, APUs, and games console domination
$5.4B on ATI was well spent, but AMD had actually approach Nvidia first.

When children are shot in their classrooms, all politicians can offer are thoughts and prayers. When a shooting happens near them, they demand a $350 million golden ballroom to protect themselves.
Don't normalize a system that protects power more than it protects children.

The actual concert went without issues. Still need time to clean up the audio, but I think I'll pass that along to someone else in the choir to do. I have to much happening at work right now to take of this in a timely fashion.

You are correct lol My father is from Italy, and will. Often argue where certain dishes originated. But for me, it's the flavors of the food - how it's prepared - that makes it Italian. The way I make my pasta sauce will be different than the next person, and that's okay 😁
