  1. 7 weeks for me is I believe the best. We got Rudolph on 8 weeks and at that age he already developed some odd behaviours, which we really struggled to sort out.
  2. The Bowie song that defined him from my POV. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F-z6u5hFgPk
  3. Here are the pups now. They are strong, healthy and gorgeous. Will fix Mika after these 2, raising pups is damn hard work. We are putting together the poster to put up at the vet's office tonight. BTW, they are 4 weeks and 5 days old today.
  4. Ja. Year ends. The nightmare time of the year for all finance people. My SIL is in the fruit export business as a financial guru (CA), and she is spending weekends at the office sometimes.
  5. Will the new gen Ryzen CPUs have a quad channel memory architecture? Apparently even Threadripper aint that great with regards to their memory access architecture.
  6. Congrats with your new job. But, get ready for some long nightly grinds at the office. Game development/production is not for sissies. My son wants to be a games content creator. I already gave him the speech. He is still determined that he wants to go there. I told him to start by downloading Blender and have a go at it on his own using some tuts.
  7. BTW, I am building myself a PC rig later this year. As a dev, I will mostly be using it for dev work, but I also use it for some CAD and some gaming. I was thinking of Threadripper 2, but heard it is not exactly great for gaming. Intel LGA2066 X series is another option, but damn those Intel HEDT CPU pricing. Don't ask about budget. Budgeting a system build is for the fishes, but was targeting around 30K for the box alone.
  8. The problem with playing FPS on consoles are the low refresh rate. My eyes just are not able to handle anything under 100 FPS. It gets all watery and I get headaches. You know, age and all that crap.
  9. Just start a new group. She will soon leave the group she is in by herself when she sees that it is dormant.
  10. Yes, but how many people can afford 2 RTX Titans running in SLI config? Definitely not moi.
  11. As long as GRRM is directly involved in writing the script, and not those idiots that went nuts with the TV series. They stuffed that one up 6 luv.
  12. Yes, but gaming on 8K is currently a no-no. I know of no setup currently that even support 4K at refresh rates higher than 120.
  13. Look at it this way: Microsoft will still be making money out of Sony even if you decide to purchase a Playstation instead of an XBox.
  14. It's about using Microsoft Azure Cloud Services to host your online gaming profiles and whatnot, as well as game services. I am not sure if you know that we now have Azure Cloud Services data centres in Cape Town and Joburg.
  15. Which is why I use usernames, nom de plumes and avatars that are not even close to the type of person that I am.
  16. Never fight on social media. People should have learnt by now that anything put on social media can be used in court cases, or to shame you lest you use the wrong words out of anger.
  17. Heads up people! Have any of you that paid for the race via Entry Ninja had fraudulent transactions on your cards this weekend? I had someone buying an air ticket for R999 on my card in Kempton Park.They tried other transactions also, but lucky I have a very low limit on my card specifically for such a situation. The only place I used my card number in the past 3 weeks was on Entry Ninja, so I am just asking to establish where the leak is.
  18. I think so since they asked a day licence fee if you did not have CSA membership.
  19. My son said there was way too much sand and grassy, bumpy stuff on the route, and they missed all the nice ST out there that he know of, and he knows that area quite well since we race and ride there quite often. My wife said she completely missed the first waterpoint. Not sure if she got lost temporary or not. And then the last well stocked waterpoint was only 10km before the end.
  20. Just got a msg from my son. Said he did not really enjoy today's long route.
  21. http://www.weekend-warrior.co.za/mtb-home/mtb/1847-2/ Unfortunately I pulled out because of a neck injury. But my wife and son is riding.
  22. The problem sometimes when techies design a system, is to neglect the user interface to the system.
  23. Sounds to me like an anti-stalling mechanism. Which to me as a non-expert tells me that the Max handles like a pig on high AOA flight (without the system's intervention).
  24. Believe me, hearing a set 747-400 Rolls Royce engines at full tilt on take off is awesome. My very first airplane flight was on a 747-400 to London in 1993. The flight was full, and the plane loaded to capacity, so the pilot had to give gas to get in the air, so much that the whole plane shook. Will never forget that.
  25. So, our Siberian Husky has become a mom. Father is a Swiss Shepherd. 2 pups. There was a household discussion about fixing her when we got her, or allowing her to have pups. Siberian Husky Swiss/German Shepherd is a quite popular cross breed, so we decided to allow her some pups one time, and then to get her fixed. However, it depends on how this goes. Idea was to allow the kids this one time experience. What do you guys think? Fix her after this or not? https://www.certapet.com/german-shepherd-husky-mix/
