Thought P90 was one of those exercise videos.

We went to the PCA breakfast this morning. The rain means only three Porsches were driven. We went in the Elky of course.
Nice turnout, good conversations interesting topics, mostly Porsches and aerodynamics and tires and 93 octane gas. Some wax, and non car talk as well.

Hola, y’all. We had a thunderstorm roll through our area just after 3AM. The loudest thunder I’ve ever heard. The house shook violently with each thunderclap. I love the rain, but let’s skip the thunder & lightning. OK?

GH85Carrera 01-12-2019 05:38 PM

We had some thunder a while back that truly shook the walls. Like an earthquake.

RKDinOKC 01-13-2019 09:35 AM

Oh my goodness, thread went to page 2!

Rescued

Jim Richards 01-13-2019 09:56 AM

I fear that it was the mere mention of padded toilet seats that lead to the thread’s near death (pg 2) experience. :eek:

RKDinOKC 01-13-2019 10:08 AM

Knew it must have been something I typed. Sorry, will try to show more discretion in the future.

Jim Richards 01-13-2019 10:45 AM

No worries, Richard. This thread just needs more cowbell...or more nipple lube.

RKDinOKC 01-13-2019 12:27 PM

Kinda thought nipple lube was a summer thing.

Got the Cayenne back from dealership.
Been enjoying the instant on power driving the GTS for 2 weeks.
Cayenne feels like it isn't going to accelerate, so you give it a little more pedal...then bam, zoom...the turbo hits.

Pepper does not like riding in the GTS. She will stay home given the choice. Prolly cause she gets the whole back seat in the Cayenne.

Back to Monday again.

We are bidding on a job that will be a for sure "how in hell can we get that done in time" project. Rather large area, very high resolution. We will have to buy a couple of more i8 computers, and expensive video cards and rent some more seats month to month of some expensive software. I hope we get it, but it is gonna be lots of work.

Morning all. The wife and kid-o went to LA over the weekend to an event at Loyola for the early decision students. Me I tried to sleep a ton.....it didn't work.

Several years ago Mom complained to my brother about our guest bathroom toilet sometimes requiring a double flushl.

It flushes worse than the old one requiring a double flush almost every time now. ! If I had known he was going to replace the toilet I would have had found one that said it can flush a cat and had it waiting for him.

If yer talking about one of those American standard champion 4 terlets, they will flush lots of ping pong balls and stuff but are NOT well designed. I had one and liked it at first as you can't hardly clog one, but they tend to backwash a little.

After a while it started to stink like a urinal in a dank dive.
No matter how often we cleaned it the stink came back, took a while to realize it was from the back wash thing.

Replaced it with a toto terlet and been happy ever since ;)

So now, I advise folks who ask to get a toto and tell american standard to go flush itself.

If it were 1440P I might bite one to use with racing sims.

The wide field angle would be really nice. For determining braking points I'd rather have more vertical detail than 1080P.

GH85Carrera 01-14-2019 07:48 AM

I have two monitors on my system. No one makes a 4K monitor that is just 18 or 19 inches wide. That is all the real-estate I have on my desk. My main monitor is a "28 inch" 4K monitor that I love. The little monitor is just 1,600 x 900 monitor. The main monitor is 3860 x 2160. Some programs just assume I should have more space top to bottom, and the top and bottom of some programs are off the screen. If I drag a PDF from my main monitor to the small monitor, I have to shrink it a lot, drag it over and then resize it. I just wish some manufacturer would make a true 4K monitor that is on 18 or 19 inches wide physically. The monitor is OK, I just wish it were taller, and higher res.

RKDinOKC 01-14-2019 08:19 AM

If that ultra ultra wide had been available would have probably gotten it instead of a second 27in. Often have several documents/app[s open at once. Never used it all for one app.

Porsche-poor 01-14-2019 08:25 AM

I have two monitors, a 27" and a 24". I could have a third extra 17" if I opened up my laptop.

I know they have 3480x1200 in 43" which is 32:10. Not seen one at 1440 yet.

RKDinOKC 01-14-2019 10:37 AM

Yep. those were the ultra wides I was looking at 3480x1200. My 2-27s are 5120x1440.
Even googled up some ultra wide desktop pictures.

Don't consider laptop's screen cause only use it when using as a laptop away from desk with monitors.

flipper35 01-14-2019 10:44 AM

So you have 2x21:9?
