Snow Canyon State Park is a quiet, pretty place to stretch your legs and decompress after all that 'fun' in Vegas! Unfortunately, the Kolob Canyons section of Zion is closed for road work. The 'main' section of Zion is lovely, but getting there and back from the freeway will chew about 2 hours - may...

FWLIW, I'll second the "Just I-15, Baby!" sentiment. Take 126 and 14 from N. Oxnard to skirt the horrors of LA and, once you get to Victorville (a GREAT place to drive away from!), just aim your SCUD north and gas it! IMO, there really is no such thing as a 'safe' route. That said, I'd rat...

Your rpm was jerking too? (lag in the low rpm torque cluster)

When the issue decided to show its head, if presented as a persistent misfire on one, maybe two?, cylinders at low rpm.

I have to partially retract my prior post that claimed to fix the issue. Not long after changing the plugs, the problem returned, same as ever. Finally, I got around to buying a set of wires to replace the nearly-new ones that were on the car. (I'd beeped and measured and inspected them, and they lo...

So one travesty somehow justifies another? Methinks Mr. Spock would likely disapprove of your logic.

I’m amazed that people are upset at the team orders. Dude. Please don't presume to judge those who do not share your opinion.

Chess scales well. Apps use SSE for extensive bit-twiddling Heh. If only chess happened to use a 9x8 board.... us humans might have got a few more years of supremacy... :D AVX and wide SIMD don't help much.

Give me ideas for applications that scale past 16C/32T. Doesn't need to be Windows but does need to be freely available Chess scales well. Apps use SSE for extensive bit-twiddling, and a fair bit of memory access for the hash tables. AVX and wide SIMD don't help much. Follow the instructions at htt...

And that is why you search fort their GPU comparison benchmarks. https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/Photoshop-CC-2018-NVIDIA-GeForce-GPU-Performance-1139/ GTX 1050 Ti is more than enough, and those have come down in price recently.

IMO, it's quite safe, provided you don't go nuts with the voltage. Providing good cooling is also a good idea. My longest running OC is my current browser computer. It's an AMD 1045T six core phenom running at 3.3GHz base and ~3.6 turbo. It's been running this way for about 6 years w/o any stability...

Hmm... that's encouraging. I was thinking I would be needing to replace my Shop Vac, as it was making some godawful squealing noises the last time I used it. If the motor is that easy to tear down, I can probably get (another) 15 years out of the current one! AFAIK, the Squeal of Death is most usua...

Not exactly rocket repair.... :roll: But better than popping ~$60 for a new unit! Fixed a dead Shop-Vac. Last time I tried to use it, the motor cranked for half a second, then died. The initial suspect was stuck or otherwise noodled brushes. Tearing the thing down was surprisingly easy. All it takes...

The current video card situation is the result of people buying up AMD GPUs to mine the latest fad cryptocurrency (Ethereum). ... you can also expect to see a lot of abused secondhand AMD GPUs dumped onto the used market once the Ethereum craze peaks.

Given current ram prices, I could probably limp along on 8gb until the next 'down' cycle comes along. Ultimately, 32, or maybe 36 would be nice. I've re-discovered chess and am doing a bit of analysis with assorted engines. Most of these programs use a hash table that is a power of two in size. 36 g...

This does indeed sound like a bad O2 sensor - the engine is going to run rich when it's cold and so the problem will start showing up once it's warm just like you described. Less likely is that the computer has a programming error, but assuming fuel delivery is working those are your most likely cu...

I got a weird car problem (1990 Honda Accord) that started suddenly a few weeks ago where the car runs completely fine when the engine is cold, but as soon as the engine warms up, it hesitates/jerks during acceleration, and has rough idling. . . . Suffering the exact same symptoms.... 1992 Accord W...

Little question for you guys with these old Accords - what refrigerant is your AC using? I thought those shipped with R12, which is banned nowadays. Yup. While the unit will 'run' with modern refrigerant, it win't be terribly happy or efficient. I think (?) a proper conversion kit replaces the pres...

Yep, I mentioned this a while back - at some point, dynamic range (on most modern music) ends up ruining the audio quality more than mp3 compression.

On the spark plug front, I was most disappointed when I installed a set of the then just introduced expensive Bosch platinum plugs. The 90 Accord hated them. It ran great on the cheap NGK plugs.

Yep. I think that's true of most Hondas of that era.

Interesting! My 1992 Accord developed very similar symptoms three days ago. I discovered this thread just now. Symptoms: Idle and very light throttle are fine. I can cruise around town on ~40 MPH roads and ~1500 RPM just fine so long as I don't exceed a critical throttle application. Any significant...
