OT: The Lounge Thread - Part LVII - Fruit fly Edition

[cphabs]

I'm enjoying our exchanges, I'm learning. What did you use for superposition? I'm curious about CPU temp. I have a core temp app on my 2 machines. I noticed that my Core i5 gets hotter than my older machine with the Core i3 doing the same task. Both similar in components.

PC #1 is Core i5 @3,7 GHz, 16 gig ram, NVIDIA GT 710 (cheapo), Gigabyte B365M. Windows 11.

PC #2 is Core i3 @3.6 GHz, same as above for the rest, but with Windows 10. Not able to run 11.

Using Any video converter to convert an MP4 into another format, this is what happens.

PC #1 At idle: Core temps are all in the low 30's Celsius. Average 33.

Converting: I get temps in the 70's, with a peak at 78. Too hot imo.

The same file conversion on the slower PC

At Idle; Core temps go from a low of 29 to 31.

Converting only raises it to around 50. (49 to 52).

I changed the fan on both CPU's to ones that have a bracket to tighten from the rear. Used paste.

Just a mystery to me.

I5 may have a higher wattage than the I3.
I’m in no way an AMD fanboy, but this little 5600x 65 watt zen 3 came with a stock cooler and is pushing a 3080 in an incredible demanding bench at 1080p. Little bastard crushed it at stock settings.
No heat issues during the 12+ hour torture test.
I have a Thor 2 case as well. Plenty of fans and airflow.
What cooler are you using?

Thermaltake on the i3 with one case fan near the cpu.

Cooler master on the i5 with case fan, same as above. Case is slightly shorter.

Hey Welcome back.
I was wondering what happened to you.
You seem to have disappeared around the time Danault signed with the Kings which was a weird coincidence

Pas checké les nouvelles dans les deux derniers jours?

La variole du singe© (monkeypox) est la nouvelle maladie exclusive qui vient de sortir.

Edit : On a plus d'une dizaine de cas à Montréal, surtout dans la communauté gay. Mais c'est pas une maladie transmissible sexuellement, c'est plus par goutelettes.

Prolonged close contact, which is something that happens during intercourse.

Probably some party tourism from the UK that got it from Nigeria.

I’m not sure if this is an inappropriate place to ask, if so apologies, just remove and I’ll reach out to someone privately.

I do genealogical research for people, and I’m currently doing a tree for someone and I can’t figure out the meaning of the cause of death. I’m hoping someone would be able to help me out with the French.

The record states “Il fut trouvé mort sous sa traîne chargée de bois sur le chemin des Récollets le 8 janvier 1681.”

The translator I use tells me he was under a train, which didn’t exist at the time. And so I didn’t know if it meant sled, or wagon of some sort. Then in trying to figure out what train meant I’m seeing it could mean drag?

Any help would be appreciated.

Recollet road, sorry

Maybe it's time to clean up and return all those refundable bottles and cans kept in the locker since March?

I did it a couple months ago with the bottles. It took me some time because most places around me either did not accept any returns (even when they were told to resume their activities) or made you wait in line for a while and on specific hours only. I have to admit that when everything was closed (or offered very limited access) a lot of cans found their way to the regular recycling bin though. Every week there are people passing on my street collecting refundable bottles so I often give mine to them. I wonder what they did last spring when merchants didn't accept any returns.

I had an issue with fruit flies that kept reappearing this summer which got fixed by replacing my kitchen garbage bin. Even cleaning the old one again and again did not help, seems like it would have needed a steam cleaner.

These days I deal mostly with a few spiders a week, they are harmless anyway. One of my cats looooves to chase them. They often hide in hard-to-reach corners, I use the cat as an extension... it looks ridiculous but it works and prevents me hsving to climb on a chair!

Another fruit fly season approaches… I have a new weapon that I field tested at the end of last summer/fall. Clorox Bleach spray! It f***ing decimated them! The tactics I found useful?
1. Set something they like in your kitchen sink before you go to bed. They will collect on the area.
2. Stand about 3 feet away from the trap with your bleach spray pointed at about a 70 degree angle upwards.
3. Squirt a few clouds of Clorox above them.
4. Slowly close in while squirting.
The cloud of Clorox that you just created will catch them as they try to escape! It will take some practice but will work!

Under his log carriage, which was a sled. So maybe he went downhill on the Récollets road and he got crushed by it or something as it slipped too fast towards him.

I've never seen any kid of ad, fungus or not, on here since I joined in 2007. I don't know what you're using to access this place, but you're obviously doing it wrong.
