You could accomplish what you’re trying by putting the GPU in a second computer. Further, most UPSes have a data interface, so that you could have the GPU computer plugged into the UPS too, but receive the signal when power is out, so it can save its work and shutdown quickly preserving power in the UPS batteries. The only concern there would be the max current output of the UPS in the event of a power outage being able to power both computers for a short time.

While thats an awesome pile of storage, I weep for your electricity bill.

Not bad, but those are rookie numbers, you’ve got to pump them up!

There’s nothing really to trigger because it never isn’t true that I don’t want food except for maybe a second or two here or there where I think, “I could e- no, I couldn’t eat.”

My only basis for understanding is myself and what I think may be normal hunger and satiation response. When I feel hungry, I want to eat until satisfied. You’re communicating you don’t (rarely?) feel hunger response, so you don’t (rarely?) feel compelled to eat food. This makes sense to me.

When I’ve eaten to satiation, I get a feeling of being physically “full” but further, that I’m not missing anything. However, for example, if I’m low on protein I can eat carbs endlessly until I feel physically sick to my stomach and still be hungry for protein until I eat some and reach satiation. You’re communicating that you never get to either of these stages because you have an active aversion to the intake or presence of food. So its not just the hunger response you’re missing, there’s and additional component causing you to be physically uncomfortable with consuming food, which compels you to not eat and even spit out food you have in your mouth when you try to push beyond the repulsion.

Lastly, even when I’ve eaten to satiation, I can still choose to continue eating, such as a really good tasting dessert, but usually regret eating too far beyond satiation. This is one that I can’t square with how you describe your situation with this example:

But my wife gave me a single strand of cooked spaghetti to try and I had to spit it out.

You’re nowhere near satiation since you don’t eat, so its not that response. You haven’t eaten beyond satiation, since you haven’t eaten anything, so its not that response. Your body is finding aversion before all the other normally expected gates are passed through.

One more question:

1. Are you able to take pills? As in if you have a headache can you take an aspirin (unambiguously non-food)? How about vitamin pills or is that too close to food that your body rejects it?

Since this condition gets to know something has nutrition (because you know the thing does), what would happen if you consumed something with zero nutritional value. Something that would have maybe fiber, but no nutrition? Its certainly not food because you can’t live on it. There’d be nothing your digestive system could take out of it. It would just pass through.

It would most likely be solids, so would that trigger the symptoms or could you get it down because its not foo?

You understand consciously and intellectually that your body requires calories or you’ll starve to death, but your body signals and instincts are uncooperative.

You haven’t mentioned any conscious aversions to food, so I can barely imagine the frustration of consciously knowing your body needs nourishment but your body being totally uncooperative. Your body gets to use your higher brain functions to identify what is food and not, but then is unwilling to take it in even though you want it. That sounds hellish. I’m sorry you’re going through this.

Its almost like your body is identifying food like its poison and trying to keep it out of you to save your life.

Again, please no medical advice or suggestions.

This isn’t advice or suggestions, but rather questions about your condition I’m curious about from your description. If this isn’t something you want to discuss, I totally understand. Simply ignore this post. I certainly don’t take any offense, and I hope you feel better.

1. You made mention in several situations about food smells triggering your symptoms. Is it just food smells or do any other strong non-food smells trigger your symptoms? I’m thinking of both pleasant and unpleasant non-food smells: gasoline, fragrant laundry detergent, fresh cut lumber, rotting leaves or grass

2. You made mention of the limits of texture. Does ice chips in your mouth trigger your symptoms? Does chewing gum trigger your symptoms?

Its a nice gesture, but wouldn’t it mean so much more to her knowing they came from you?

I sold the G.I.Joe 7’ long aircraft carrier USS FLAGG /w box (quite played with!) I bought for $72 as an adolescent for thirty years later $1100.

You did better than I did.

For those of you that find a store like this, see the sale prices of items you owned as a kid, and remember how little you paid for those items in comparison, don’t think you made a mistake by NOT keeping your old toys. I did, and it was the wrong choice.

I moved boxes of old 80s action figures and vehicles around from house to house, apartment to apartment, years in a paid storage space, only to later finally sell nearly everything at the “high sale prices”. The amount of bother over the decades, amount of time needed to prep things for sale, find buyers, etc was a small fraction of a payoff compared to what I could have done with my time and money over the years.

If you made it to adulthood without all your old toys, you made the right choice.

This looks difficult, but you’ve got this! You’ve put in the work, and have just a little bit more to clear these finals and reports. You’re close. Very close. You know this stuff. You’ve studied hard. Its worth it. You wake up every day and raise your head off that pillow, but when your head hits the pillow again at night, you’re different. You’re smarter. You’re stronger. Its not just the knowledge you’re putting in your head that is making you a better person. Its your tenacity, and honor in setting a difficult goal. You’ve set this goal and every day you take hard won steps closer to it. Years from now you’re going to be thinking about days like today. You’re going to be proud of yourself, and you should be. You’re building a rock solid foundation that you’re going to build a career out of. Its going to look different in the future from what you’re envisioning today, but its still going to be successful. It will be successful because you’ve made it so. Your efforts. Your work. Your drive.

So I say again: You’ve got this. I believe in you.

Most of the time there are no good deals! They’re all bad.

There’s a concept here that most people done understand very clearly. Its not about making the “best choice” its about “making the least worst choice”.

I’ve been there. You did wonderfully getting as far as you did. Especially as this sounds like close to your first time trying to accomplish something like this. You’ll continue to improve. You’ve got that extra money in your pocket as evidence that you did well.

I’m going to be an outlier in my comment here but, for myself (an elderly dude who has done what you just did) I, personally, prefer to hire it done.

I think the “elderly” part may be biasing your decision. There are times in our lives when we have more time than money. Usually when we get older it flips to more money than time. There are still lots of things I do I could hire out (I still mow my own lawn as an example), but for skill trades for plumbing or complicated electrical I hire professionals.

A bad command execution in large cloud providers can literally make significant portions of the web unavailable, just by the sheer number of services dependent on it.

You can’t have it both ways. You’re trying to call out all of the benefits of running your own infra, but then calling out the downsides of public cloud. Talk apples to apples or oranges to oranges. The point I’m making in the post you’re responding to is that “rolling-your-own” as an organization, specifically a small or medium sized one, comes with risks that far outweigh the costs and risks of public cloud.

The convenience is not worth the risk.

That is not the opinion of non-IT business leaders make decisions to the detriment of the advice of IT departments. You’re ignoring that good IT decisions don’t get to be make by good IT professionals. You’re always limited to the budget and power granted by your organization. That is the practical reality.

So you’re recognizing that a bad command execution can exist in CDN or cloud provider, but where is your recognition of the tens of millions off bad command executions that happen in small IT shops every month?

I looks like you’re ignoring the practical realities that companies rarely ever:

• hire enough support staff
• hire enough skilled staff
• invest in enough redundant infrastructure to survive hardware or connectivity failures
• design applications with resiliency
• have high enough rigor for audit, safe change control, rollback
• shield the operations stupid decisions leads impose because business goals are more important that IT safety

All of these things lead to system impacts and downtime that can only come from running your own datacenters.

The cloud isn’t perfect, but for lots and lots of companies its a much better and cheaper option than “rolling your own”.

Sorry, I’m not following everyone else’s conversations. I can’t speak to what others are saying. You seem to be comfortable aggregating the conversations and expecting others to do the same, so I can see why you have that response. Clearly we’re at the end of productive conversation. You’re welcome to continue replying if you like, but I won’t be reading your responses.

I’m arguing non-homeowner had zero risk and should have zero equity.

The non-homeowner put zero money down for the purchase, they put none of their credit at risk, they took on no liability for the property, and so far there’s no mention of their obligation to pay for upkeep and repairs. Doing those things are the requirements of home ownership while the benefit is the equity. The non-homeowner simply hasn’t done the things to be a home owner. If the did, then they’d be a home owner.

You and I are conversing and you want me to chase your other conversations with other people? I think you’ve overestimated my interest in what I believe is your flawed argument. I guess we’re done then. Have a nice day!
