Gold and Silver bubble.

I would argue the BitCoin Bubble already surpass them in value.

At least property and gold has physical form.
BitCoin is just data...

@castellanosjc said in BitCoin:

Also why did BitCoin spike so aggressively ?

People, stupid people that thinks they can make a quick buck. Then stay in it for way too long, and eventually lose their paper money.

In 2000's, we had the housing bubble.
In 1990's, we had the dot com bubble.
In 1980's, we had the Japanese asset price bubble.
In 1970's we had the Gold and Silver bubble.

Now, we have BitCoin/crypto currencies bubbles. Read some finance bubble history before you invest in bubbles.

In the pictures, battery was turned off.

Now, battery is out of the car.

@jaredbusch

I'm driving my 2000 insight with no hybrid battery, the car is basically a 2 door light weight 3 cylinder car.

At 40-45mph, I can get near 90mpg pretty easily.

At 60-65mph, I can get near 70mpg. I took a 792 miles road trip to Texas from AZ, got 72mpg, with no battery assist.

Above 70mph+ the gas mileage go down quick

In city driving, I'm getting 55mpg or so.

The user is a GOLD mine for answers!!!

Ask the user more open ended questions.

"When is it crashing?"
"What's the computer doing when it crash?"
"How is it crashing?"
"What do you do to resolve it?"
"How often does it crash?"
"Can you cause the crash intentionally?"
etc

@tim_g said in My GLH makes 350whp:

Looks cool.

My car can go at least any speed limit in the U.S. within a reasonable number of seconds... really all I care about.

I got my 55mpg Honda Insight for that.

Last year, I dynoed my 1985 Dodge Omni GLH, it made 290whp on E85 (85% ethanol, 15% gasoline).

Since then, I upgrade the factor socketed ECU to an aftermarket unit called Microsquirt, installed a more efficient intercooler, and put in a T04B V trim turbo instead of a T04E 50 trim turbo, and a chambered muffler instead of a straight through muffler.

I made 350whp on E54 last Thursday. What really surprised me is the power of my minimal boost setting, 250whp at 12.5psi. That's more than twice the HP when the car came out of the factory in 1985.

There are two set of dyno pull on these graph.

Red lines - HP and torque when I started.
Blue lines - HP and torque when I left.

HP vs boost level

Turn off the built-in wifi, buy a quality AP and mount the it at the center point of the house, in the ceiling.

I bought Ooma 5 years ago for my home phone use. I have not paid a cent since for all my US calls.

Return it to the seller and get your money back.
That is the only logical thing to do at this point.

I have a HP Prolant DL380G6 server at home. It's been power off for a year, so I guess my "Home Lab" went to sleep.

What is this VM host will be used for?

You'd want 2 RAID 1, given the drives you have.

NO to RAID 10 with the drives you have.

Free ESXi or paid ESXi?

@dafyre

I made a conscious decision to stop drinking soda: with diet, syrup, or sugar. Coffee smells great to me, taste awful, so I never got started. Once in a while I'll have a cup of tea, but I can go a week without tea and no headaches or other withdrawal symptoms.

A hot shower makes me up in the morning.

@brandon220

Because you are addicted to to caffeine.

Adding Wifi extenders will make the wifi even slower.

What is the current make and model of the AP?

I'll just leave this here.

The entire "may" help you live longer title is misleading. No where in the article it mention that caffeine "may" also kill you. http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/south-carolina-teen-died-caffeine-overdose-coroner-rules-n759716

"Her team found that coffee was associated with fewer deaths due to heart disease, cancer, respiratory disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease".

Sounds exactly like snake oil...

Next thing you know, water must be bad for you because 100% of the people that drinks water dies.

I switched from iPhone4 to Moto G+ .
For the cost of one iPhone6, I could have bought 2 and a half Moto G+.
