  • I say data (dah-ta) when it is information that cannot normally be read by a human, and data (day-ta) when it is information that has been compiled about a topic that is in human readable format.

    “The data on the hard drive has been corrupted.” - dah-ta

    “The data shows that you have a life expectancy of 78 years” -day-ta





  • Some part of me believes that water cannot get so hot that it would cause metal to Glow.

    I would be happy to be proven wrong.

    I mean, unless you’re saying that the pipe is heating the water inside of it? Which at that temperature that water would be expanding to over a thousand times its size and would probably blow that line to smithereens.



  • Yeah if you’re going for trying to get the most bang for your buck, you could consider getting a match set of either 4x8 gig or 2x16 gig ram, an i7 8700 flavor CPU, and upgrade the graphics card from your 1070 to a 3070 or even a 4060, and put in a nice two terabyte SSD

    That would probably run you in the neck of $500.

    If it’s helpful and you want to stick with prebuilt I saw a $900 computer at Costco that had an i7 14700, 32 gigs of ram, a 512 gig SSD and a 4060 in it.

    If 900 is too much, consider going to your local pawn shops. A lot of people have been all floating their 10th and 11th gen computers with 3070s in them and I’ve seen them for sale for sub $500.
