I'm all for more efficiency. Do you have a rough budget for what we'll be seeing for the changes?

You think this should be separated out from the normal STUN operating budget?
Carmen
Queen of Crime
How many of your cases involve direct confrontation, in recent history?
Eugene
Airfield Staff
That's not a number I have. Kind of immaterial I would think, since the STUN is such an exclusive users pool.
Chase
Director
We're talking about all cases or only international crimes? I have a few teams deployed down south that's engaged in confrontation on a daily basis... but that's an entirely different department.
Carmen
Queen of Crime
I was curious, the image provided seems rather... dense.
Eugene
Airfield Staff
Dense?
Chase
Director
That's some prototype I pulled off somewhere for inspiration, I think actual working materials would be different.
Carmen
Queen of Crime
The material, somewhat dense, and unnecessary for potentially non-combative agents.
Chase
Director
That, I agree with. Again, more on design, less on material.
Eugene
Airfield Staff
My approach for the STUN has always been about non-permissive environments.
Carmen
Queen of Crime
Ah, so environmental protection.

((IRL: so, tomorrow. mental health appointment... Wednesday is the foot clinic appointment... to see if the insoles are helping (hint: they aren't)... may end up in surgery to try and fix the hallax ridgus on my right foot... never had surgery before. I'm all OEM, so far)) -
Jon Eckart:
((IRL: So, the new mega-tower works... actually, pretty sure it's worked for the last month. Every time I tried booting it, I had the TV on the wrong input. It's nice and fast... Threadripper 3950, 24-core, 48-threads, 3.8GHz with a Titan X video card, 2 1TB M.2s (one is boot drive), about 3.25TB between 4 HDDs. From when Win logo shows t o usable desktop, maybe 5 seconds))

Deric Storm:
I don't know how I feel about that. I have ZERO faith in current Hollywood to be be faithful to the source material -
Jon Eckart:
((So... the big secret recently is... my folks got their eviction notice for smoking in the building... so, they have a meeting with the caretaker and HRA in the afternoon... I'll be there (we're in the same building). In their favor... the caretaker had a cop, and went to HRA without talking to the manager, so maybe that might be in their favor... dunno. so, things are up in the air right now.))

Lucy:
Did you know San Francisco's original name was Yerba Buena, meaning "Good Herb" because these plants are so abundant there. -
Jon Eckart:
((We're appealing it, for whatever good that'll do. For smoking in their apartment. I wanna get hammered tonight))
-
Jon Eckart:
((So... the appeal date is the 19th... they'll try for an extension. The main place a friend of theirs is pushing for has a waiting list, and beyond that, the friend is in a 1 bedroom that's about 1/3 smaller than mine... there's no way they could fit in there (and no ceiling light in the living room or bedroom... just a switched outlet in each). I'm expanding the search in the morning to neighboring areas... low income housing, section 8, all that))
-
Jon Eckart:
((OOC: So, Thanksgiving is canceled, so is Christmas, for this year. Basically, when I'm awake, I'm hunting for more apartments that they can apply at. So far, lots of waiting lists, no headway. The folks are low-income (SSI), but the eviction on the 30th kills everything. Apparently, the building manager has heard from a few residents that the folks are evicted... the three of us keep to ourselves, and have only told a few people what's going on... and, then there's the charges...))

Jon Eckart:
((Question: So, I started taking Zoloft (generic) 2 weeks ago... is it normal while on it, to not have emotional reactions to songs that previously had me bawling?))
-
Laverna:
@Jon Eckart . I hated being on Zoloft made me like made me so unresponsive. I'm going to say that's not a good thing -
Claire Yeon:
Good evening, terrestrials, extra and otherwise. I hope you are all well. -

L (Guest) Lucy2:Hey guys having computer problems.
-
L (Guest) Lucy2:I can't log in with my phone just wanted to check in...but also found this fascinating. Did u know Florence Nighttengale had a pet Owl?
-
Jon Eckart:
@Lucy If you use Chrome, it should share your password between devices... though that depends on how you have it set up (and, if it's the same account... I can be on either of my machines and it just autofills).
-
Jon Eckart:
@Tenchi Masaki Out of curiosity, do you know if it's worth it to rent out GPU/CPU time on a rig like mine... Threadripper 3960X with a Titan X, 32Gigs RAM (for now... hope for more RAM someday)
-
Jon Eckart:
Kinda looking at vast.ai, but something that doesn't require a whole OS install would be better (haven't really ever done *Nix, so not sure about that environment)
