MutantTurkeyIt went from summer to fall in the matter of a hurricane17:29
rhpot1991quite nice outside now17:50
rhpot1991I enjoyed finally not sweating while walking my dogs at 1am17:51
TheEvilPhoenixhehe17:51
MutantTurkeyindeed, the walk to the train station was quite lovely.17:54
MutantTurkeyexcept that septa is a mess right now.17:54
* waltman wonders if the R5 has starting running yet18:14
waltmanDoesn't look like it.18:14
pleia2watery?18:15
waltmantreey18:16
waltmanwoody?18:16
waltmanLast I saw the train platforms at Trenton were still under water18:17
pleia2yeah, I've seen lots of flooding photos18:18
waltmanI'm guessing on the Paoli line the issue is more trees than water18:18
TheEvilPhoenixare sections that were affected the most in PA still under that disaster emergency state?18:19
pleia2one of our customers was ok yesterday, but their T1 went do this morning due to the water continuing to rise :(18:19
knightzeroThere were some power issues along Route 30 when I was driving in this morning.  A lot of streetlights out, and a few downed poles from what I could see.18:19
pleia2s/do/down18:19
waltmanI drove down through Strafford and Wayne today at lunch and it all seemed fine except for one crew along Conestoga Rd.18:27
knightzeroI didn't go down quite that far, but I know there were a good deal of streetlights out between Coatesville and Downingtown this morning.  I'm not sure if it extended all the way to Paoli.18:30
MutantTurkeyR5 is down still i think19:06
MutantTurkeyR2 is like running half an hour lae.19:06
MutantTurkeymanyunk is a wreck19:06
MutantTurkeyokay so i've finally amassed enough money for a new laptop. I am thinking a thinkpad.19:41
rhpot1991I like my dell xps19:45
rhpot1991but they stopped making 13"19:46
rhpot1991I'd recommend system 76 as well19:46
rhpot1991sadly its hard to find something smallish that has nvidia in it anymore19:46
MutantTurkeysystem76 has had some terrible reviews on reddit lately.19:46
rhpot1991thats too bad19:47
rhpot1991like support or hardware?19:47
MutantTurkeyboth19:47
rhpot1991I have a meerkat ion from them, has run well enough19:47
rhpot1991that said I just build a newer ion for cheaper19:47
MutantTurkeyI need a tank also - I tend to be a bit rough on my stuff19:47
MutantTurkeyI do like the look of the system76 stuff19:47
MutantTurkeyhowerver.19:47
MutantTurkeymy budget is like $1200 - so it's really anything19:47
rhpot1991I splurged for an led screen and ssd on this, glad I did19:48
rhpot1991a bit pricey up front, but I use it every day at work19:48
MutantTurkeyis SSD worth it?19:48
MutantTurkeyI hear they are not reliable19:48
MutantTurkeyand they use more power19:48
rhpot1991speedy quick19:48
rhpot1991small in storage too though19:48
MutantTurkeytheir idle is way higher than regular HDDS19:49
rhpot1991I can't say for sure but I thought it was the opposite19:49
MutantTurkeyhdds have greater max usage though19:49
MutantTurkeyno, phoronix ran a whole test thing if i recall.19:49
MutantTurkeyor it was toms hardware19:49
MutantTurkeybut that was 200919:51
MutantTurkeyeither way - 200 bucks for 64gigs is not worth it.19:51
rhpot1991I'm at 128gb I think19:52
rhpot1991just don't keep music and crap on there19:52
rhpot1991get yourself a nice cowon for that :)19:52
MutantTurkeyyeah...19:52
MutantTurkeyI don't want to carry around an external drive.19:52
rhpot1991cowon == media player19:53
MutantTurkeyAh19:53
MutantTurkeywell I like to use my desktop for music19:53
rhpot1991could do an ipod if you care about looks and not sound quality19:53
