Ups and Downs

Like anyone really, have been having some ups and downs lately. One down would be the lack of success with the Extra Life stream. Put in seven hours and no one watched, and then some things started acting up, so I decided to stop (my leg was getting sore from not moving and the oximeter was flaking out some). Really would have liked to have gotten some attention, but whatever. If nothing else, I now know the Threadripper 1950X can handle gaming and encoding two 1440p60 streams (one went to YouTube and the other was a higher quality local copy), which is pretty awesome.
The biggest 'up' I have of late though, I cannot talk about yet. Hopefully soon, because it is really cool, but patience is a virtue. Another up I can talk about is I finally got to see Thor: Ragnarok on Friday. Pretty good, enjoyable, amusing, and entertaining. The only criticism I can throw at it is that the pacing seemed a bit fast at times. Odin, as has been the case in the previous movies, is a very important influence on Thor, but actually very little time is spent witnessing this relationship. Still a fun movie to watch (and my dad came out of it asking if we could pre-order it already).
Neither an up nor a down would be the weather turning cold. It can be nice to experience the change in seasons.
