    Walmart, Home Depot and more Won’t Enforce Face Mask Rules Following Violent Confrontations

    I was once at a Lowes buying a circular saw. As I exited, a woman was walking double-time out the door also with a circular saw... followed by an employee saying, "Stop... show me your receipt" (The thieving lady just kept walking, ignoring the employee.) I asked the employee why she didn't...

    Graphics Cards for Smart 4K TV

    Just about all of the dual-port cards made in the last 5 years. If you want to go cheap, get an Nvidia NVS 310* with 1GB VRAM on eBay for ~$25-ish. You'll also need 2x "HDMI-DP" adapters". Or you can look for video cards with 2x HDMI ports (not common.. cards with HDMI usually have only one...

    Need help configuring a workstation

    Correct. In general, market charting/trading requires low power and minimal graphics. But when you graph and archive tic data, especially on several/many issues, that's different. The CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage will be humping every second of the day. Not sure how much horsepower it would...

    Need help configuring a workstation

    Perhaps the board would like to hear from you when you get your new rig running... to let us know how it performs in your "high demand" task.

    Need help configuring a workstation

    I know they'll refund the return of a computer within the 21 days. Don't know about separately purchased upgrades... Seems they would, however, consistent with their customer satisfaction policy. I've purchased more than a dozen Dell computers over the years but have never purchased upgrades...

    Need help configuring a workstation

    Even the 10C, W-2255 seems reasonable @ $105 more than the W-2245. Bumps the Passmark up to 23,000... the "single core" spec is a little higher, too. A good thing with Dell... you can return your unit within 21 days for a full refund. Should your performance be disappointing, you're covered...

    Biden to Urge Federal Reserve to Take on Racial Wealth Gap

    IOW... "The Fed's money printing can solve any problem... so long as they print enough."

    Seattle lefty: "I feel like I need to buy a firearm"

    When? Seem like local law enforcement is more about turning a blind eye.

    The Best Documentary Trading of the World: Paul Tudor Jones

    Most significant thing I heard... "You risked $.10 to make $8". Can't often get those odds, but that's how good traders think.

    Need help configuring a workstation

    That's why you'd "remove components you didn't buy from Dell" before troubleshooting with Dell Technical Support. What do you mean, "housing adapters for your own HDD"?? The rack drive bays can accept either 2.5" or 3.5" drives. No housing adapters(?) needed. "...But according to your...

    Little George Floyd, Age 16, In Front of Judge Judy For Car Jacking

    No, it's a an old video of George Floyd at age 16, appearing in court with his father in a civil proceeding over paying for the damage to the woman's car. He said this (the car jacking) was not the first time he'd been arrested, but was the first time he was convicted! Just the kind of guy...

    Little George Floyd, Age 16, In Front of Judge Judy For Car Jacking

    He said he did it because he was "a little cold" He said "damaging the woman's car was the police's fault for chasing him... that he shouldn't have to pay for the damage because it wasn't his car". ET doesn't accept the post of the .mp4, but y'all might want to search it out if interested. If...

    Graphics Card

    Not all that many cards to run 3 monitors. You can use either 2, dual-port cards or 1 quad-port card. Just be sure your card(s) will run your desired resolution and have the same ports as your monitors. (If not, you may be able to use adapters.) For dual-port cards, suggest NVS 310. Comes...

    ANTIFA - Rioting and Destroying America

    Can you imagine if such vitriol had been heaped upon Obama? As America's WORST PRESIDENT EVER... he deserved it much more than Trump. In fact, Trump doesn't "deserve it" at all, while Odumbo deserves our ultimate contempt from every American!

    A problem with Trading the NQ using the dome

    The problem with the NQ is the participation is so light that any play of size jumps the current price off the window. You could trade the ES instead. The face value of 1 contract is a bit smaller, but the prices aren't as jumpy on the DOM.

    Need help configuring a workstation

    Sorry, this sounds like something's missing. I deleted a paragraph where I mentioned "buying a base unit from Dell and buying your upgrades elsewhere online... save a bunch of $$$". The only problem with that is Dell will only warranty and service the computer "as originally configured +...
