I'm concerned my new-to-me graphic card is dying. My computer shut off at 3 AM while I was asleep and wouldn't turn on until I removed the graphics card. It turned on successfully when I reinstalled it though, so it's obviously not completely ruined. This is what happened when my 760 died; the computer just shut off suddenly without warning and wouldn't power back on until I removed it.

I do run Folding@Home when I'm not at the computer, which I may just stop doing if it's killing GPUs.

Wear and Tear, on hardware is not trivial, especially now that alot of computer hardware fall into the -Budget- electronics category.

It's Mainly the Power circuits, they're not designed for 24 hr operation, the vrms are almost always stretched.

It may or may not be the gpu's fault, the mobo could be delivering bad current, or maybe there's a leak/ short somewhere.

Point is, NEVER run folding at home, unless you got the more expensive parts which use more and better regulators.

Optionally set up a profile to down clock when folding.

I'd been thinking about quitting anyway to save money on the power bill. I've been running F@H 24/7 for five years, so I guess I'm at a good stopping point.

With 2 kids born in the late-1990s I am constantly surprised and often perplexed at what they do, and do not, know.

It is true that the public education system in the US went through a colossal transformation starting in the 1970s and continuing to the present (which old goats like me consider disastrous, but that's another conversation), and whole new fields now have vital importance that did not even exist previously. My education, from the late 1950s through the mid-1970s focused on critical thinking and fostering a love of reading.

Those 2 areas have fallen by the wayside.

In particular, I feel that history and the development of human society have been hardly or poorly taught, and that modern kids have little deep understanding of "who we are and how we got here" and that, for example, consequently leaves them open to manipulation by ephemera such as social media and bogus "news".

Seems like a thing that has repeated in history quite a bit throughout the decades. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, Wayne's World, and Beavis and Butt-head are sudo reflections of the times in which they were aired. I try to live by the MST3K credo.

I don't know, I think that the trajectory of education in the US was quite positive until the radical right began its assault on public education in the late-1950s in the wake of Brown vs Board of Education.

In recent decades this country has been locked in a struggle between educators and dis-educators. Monumental inequality is incompatible with universal access to education.

I let my cousin move down to my apartment because I thought I could help him turn his life around; that he needed someone he could talk to about the troubles he's been going through and learn to deal with them and give him the chance that nobody else would.

Three and a half months later I'm having to kick him out because the exact opposite happened, and I really don't know if I didn't give him enough of a chance or if he would have continued on his self-destructive cycle and by kicking him out I'm actually saving him.

I love him more than my own brothers, but I just can't decide if I did the right thing in either case.
