It'll be a useful, low power home appliance after it's upgraded in the future. Can't say the same for GPUs. It's a very capable computer, not just a computer component.

Expensive compared to used NUC on Ebay, but at least you get local AI experience today. It's a fun experiment and learning tool for me, basically.

@TeksEdge There's 25+ at my local Microcenter, and it's priced at $4699. I don't know what you're talking about.

I tried to CPAP for six weeks and it was a literal torture device for me. I hated it. I’m picking up a mouthguard device this afternoon.

The the electronic device mentioned above, has a wire that they run up your neck to the back of your tongue, and it stimulates your tongue to keep it pressed forward, so it doesn’t fall back and block your airway. I can’t remember what it’s called either.

There are also surgical options.

@WillNovak13 It’s quite possible that it would affect course conditions negatively. Sunshine and airflow are important for greens and surrounds. There’s a reason courses take out trees beyond playability.

@preyes3 @RiverOaksPrblms And they have never had to work on a car that’s been driven on salted roads. The rust!

I just went through three years of unsuccessful cancer treatment at MD Anderson with my wife. I exited the experience despising hospitals and liking my insurance.

It was exactly the opposite of experience I expected at the beginning.

My anecdotal experience corroborates everything you say in this thread.

@Phroglips @ScottAdamsSays @jennaluhoo My wife died of colon cancer last month. I haven’t seen evidence either. And yeah, I looked. I hired professional researchers and a patient advocate, in fact.

@Malcolm_Ocean The first two years are the hardest for dads. I used to joke with my friends that I understood why tigers ate their young when my children were infants. Hang in there, it gets better and is worth it.
