They also fully evacuated everyone from Hinton due to the Jasper forest fire situation. Reason being extremely toxic smoke. Anyone that doesn’t have a breathing apparatus is not allowed in the area now.
Exchanging the 580 with a 5700XT boosted the framerate somewhat. Pairing the 580 with either i7-3615QM or i7-8700B didn’t make a standstill difference. This was a bit surprising as the bandwidth was also quadrupled.
Anyway, that was the point I was trying to make – people often push the CPU as THE upgrade, but it plateaus somewhere.
i got stuck in a volcanic eruption off island, that was pretty scary with air quality especially since we got hit with a tsunami and earthquakes at the same time. >.< all the empathy
We had some tree trimming done yesterday, including grinding down a bunch of old cedar stumps. The yard looks better, and less overgrown, but the whole area smells great - every so often, a little breeze stirs up and you can smell the cedar.
We are having that done to our maple tree. Only it’s a really annoying squirrel who must be bored. He runs up and down the branches and nips off bits and pieces, and bunches of leaves. I have quite a pile to go out and pick up off the lawn. Stupid squirrel. Get a job if your so bored.
Been feeding the squirrels at my house since I moved in. One has gotten to the point he climbs my back and sits on my shoulder to eat. The others just come up to me now when I come out to sit on my porch steps. I now keep a back of peanuts by the door.
We used to a long time ago. Until we got much more than squirrels. Skunks, racoons, possums, and who knows what else. They started using our deck as their potty. Had to stop.
