I know… dress up as a witch!  They always love children, and I think it’s atkins compliant

Children are definitely keto-friendly, as long as you don’t eat their candy.

All things considered I think you made the better choice. Last time I went in if it wasn’t for my phone alarm I set before hand I’d been there for more than a couple hours.

While I ended up with something else (way better), yeah, always fun what you do come across.  Casinos are designed to help you lose track of the time, to keep playing.  First time to Vegas, I intended to gamble, but was actually put off by all the glitz, so I didn’t.  Opted for a show instead & the star trek experience.

Your reasoning makes perfect sense.  Unless you loathe gambling, if you stop in a casino and you start gambling, it’s really easy to lose track of time, though the 51 hours you cite is rather extreme.  Then again, most if not all records are an extreme of one form or another, for good or ill.

Twas doing research while trying to find a plausible reason to delay a couple of people in story

Considering casino’s do everything they can to keep you there lotus eater style its not a wonder.
 

lmao, Arizona’s con is weird but the cosplay is next level by far.

I mean… You aren’t wrong.♎

You can tell it’s spring, the plot bunnies frolicking and blooming all over the place.

I’ll second this motion.  🎂

Thank you, guys      
I spent the evening at a stand up comedy show with my sisters, and it was absolutely brilliant. They are both mothers, so getting a night off in the city for themselves isn’t an easy thing, especially not on a school night, so it was even more fun to get to spend time with them alone, with no kids, even though I absolutely adore my nephews and nieces

Luckily, it did start acting up after an update (which IIRC included video drivers).  As the notes mentioned g-sync, and my issues had sync issues in them when piped through my KVM, my shrewd guess is that it was a bad driver (or something not properly configured).  So, downgrading the drivers back to the old ones will likely fix it (at least for now).

If your computer started acting up without you doing some other change to it first, I wouldn’t have my hopes raised too high.  And if the problem stuck around on your main computer after a card swap, especially if the removed card worked on your other machine (you never said,) then I would be looking at something on the main system board.
If you did a software patch or driver update to the O/S recently, rolling that back will hopefully roll the problem away.  Otherwise, hope for something “cheap and stupid,” like a memory module or different accessory card starting to go bad and impinging on system resources needed by the video card for the video to work correctly.
Good luck, whatever it turns out to be.

Overall, this machine has been very stable, rock solid, to the point that I’d only have to reboot due to power outages (ie not on battery backup) or kernel/driver updates.  That’s why it was odd to be in a position to have to reboot daily/hourly when I was used to 60/90 days.  Fingers crossed the driver downgrade works, lets me defer pricey upgrades.

I switched cards with my other machine (same make & model GPU), and it still had issues.  (One of my monitors would lock onto a solid color until it decides to go away or I reboot.) So I’m rebuilding the OS to see if that sorts out the issue.  It’s a recent development, some quirkiness, so it could easily be a driver problem.
As a fall back, yes, new card, but that’d also mean new power supply and possibly a new circuit to handle the increased demand.

Time to look at the newest gen boards?

Years ago, while visiting a friend & his GF, we went into a steak place, pretty fancy, one look at the menu prices ($50 to start), it was like “nope”.  Went back to go with a frozen pizza (cooked, of course), way better decision.
