This is getting so insane. Seems home computing is basically out of reach now. As existing hardware ages or fails there is no real path to replacing it.

I'm still using my 1080 Ti from 2017...nearly TEN YEARS AGO lol.

I tried a Cloud GPU PC as a Service...was pretty good: (monthly fee to stream anywhere)

What is Shadow and how it works?

Discover Shadow, your cloud-gaming PC that allows you to play any game, anywhere, on any device (even your Mac!)

Let's say that you have a situation where most of what a given person tells you can safely be assumed to be Intentionally misleading. But mixed in with the lies, prevarications, etc., you also understand that some statements will be accurate. Of course, at the moment the statements are made, you have no way of discriminating.

How should you regard the accurate statements.

1. Assume that all statements are lies since even the true statements serve primarily to improve the "truthiness" of the lies. Put another way, if you can recognize at least some true statements as such, an average listener will, subliminally, give greater credulity to the lies.

2. You assume all statements are lies. Any you happen to recognize as true are just ignored - since in order to know that they are true, you had to have already been in possession of the relevant information.

I think that there are probably, at least a few more possible characterizations. So if you have one that might contribute to the discussion, let your wad fly.

Watched Buffy The Vampire Slayer for the first time last year, and recently finished a rewatch. That's the best shit ever, and has shot up next to Trek for my all time favorite shows. I was vaguely aware of it back in the day, and I remember thinking "That sounds like the dumbest shit ever...". If you gave me an overview, it wouldn't sound like anything I was interested in. It's a bizarre mix of story styles, with frequent brilliance. I had to readjust my brain to accept the way the stories progress, but it was worth the adjustment. Looking forward to my next watch through. Maybe late summer/fall. They're working on a new Buffy show, and I hope it doesn't suck.

Been thinking about why I like Buffy so much. The girls are super cute, but it isn't really a sexual thing. I think I might have a thing for girls that kick ass. Bobby was easily my favorite character from The Expanse. I think I like it cause it has a girl that kicks ass, and people coming together to accomplish a goal, just like Star Trek. It's also more approachable, cause I could fuckup some vampires *today*. It doesn't require elite level knowledge of mechanics and physics. The run of the mill vamps? I could handle those fuckers swinging an axe or machete. I've spent a large portion of my life swinging a blade. I wouldn't toy with them like Buffy did, but I could get the job done.

It's also grounded on earth. Working at night in a misty cemetery? That's about as close to heaven as you can get. A strong contender against Voyager for where I'd want to spend my time.
