It's going to be prettttty crazy, this can explode in wild animals, then infect people's dogs and cats.

Poor rural people without close medical access may come out horribly disfigured as well.

"When the eggs hatch, the larvae grow really quickly. They complete early development, or embryogenesis, in about six to seven hours, and then the larvae start eating, and they go through three stages.
By the third stage, they’re quite big maggots, about two-thirds of an inch long. And they really burrow into the flesh. They’re difficult to get out. They have little hooks on them, so they’re called the screwworm because that’s what people see.

The detection of the flesh-eating screwworm comes after DOGE cut a monitoring program for the parasite in Central America, where it has been detected in recent years. According to the trade publication Agri-Pulse, the screwworm monitoring program in Central America was among the cuts DOGE made to animal disease monitoring programs funded by the now-shuttered United States Agency for International Development in foreign countries.

How much m0ar ray trace do we need.

Hrrrrm..... Realistically, another 20x will probably do it for 4K.

Maybe 50x if we want to subsurface every element.

Chives = Infinite money hack.

It grows like weed, FASTER than grass,  grass wishes it could be Chives.
Survives winter, you never need to buy seeds ever again.
It self-regulates growth density, do nothing, it just does it all by itself.
It will out compete most other weeds/grasses.

Brocolli at the store is like $$$$$
Tomato is only affordable to $Millionaires.

Chives, put it in a half shaded area, a little water on it, and it BLOWS Uppppppp...

With the economy what it is,    Chives people, this is the way.

Other Geeky Stuff / Re: Why does my GPU constantly spool up and spin down?
« Last post by Aljami25 on Sun, 07 June 2026, 08:38:29 »
It is like I'm constantly listening to waves crashing on a beach, or wind blowing through branches, but no, it is just my 2070 Super consistently spinning up the fan and immediately winding it down. Over and over, all day long.

Frankly it is kinda maddening, and I tried adjusting the fan settings to be smoother, but nothing seems to work. The only time the fan spins at a consistent rate is when I'm actually playing games. Then it spools up and stays there. But when I'm working, on the internet, watching a movie, all I hear is the fan making washing machine noises.

Why?  :confused:

Yeah, that’s pretty common. The card keeps hitting the temp limit where fans turn on, then cools just enough to shut them off again, so it repeats. A simple fan curve that keeps a low steady speed usually fixes it.
