Thank you! Thank You! (waits for the applause to die down) Nobody can reach a milestone like this alone. It requires the support of billions and billions of unsung little people. But I would like to single out the littlest one of all: Donald J. Trump. Thank you Donnie… for nothing, you absolute moron.

At my current rate, I’ll hit 2,000,000,000 points in about 1.3 months from now.

Thank you, good sir! TPR’s rank has improved as well. It went from #818 back on February 15 2025 and now we’re up to #564. Moving up 250 positions in 6 or so months isn’t too bad! 
I see while I was having 403 errors, I passed 3 Billion points. My stomps of inactive accounts are growing fewer as most of the accounts above me are still active.
TPR just cracked the top 500 in F@H again. Conga Rats!

amazing efforts
I think it’s more of an example of processing creep rather than any extensive effort on my part.The GPUs these days are just massive leaps in power compared to our original kit. “1,000,000,000 points” has become the new “100,000 points” from days of yore.
Well, Yay. My more powerful laptop has developed a case of Covid-19, in other words, a “Power Rail Failure”. 
That’s out of my IT experience and so it is going to be shipped off to a facility that specializes in Dell/Alienware Laptop repair. They have served me well on the one I’m left with and so I’m placing my main beast in their hands.
I can’t believe so much of my totals came from the other laptop. 
Ouch, that sucks dude but I reckon you’ve earned a little break!
I finally got the 18 inch laptop back, but the cost was heavy. When I sent it out for repair, it was showing a power rail failure. When they opened it up, a component had exploded. Literally. The chip burned through the multi-layer mother board and sent enough current back through the board that a trail of other components shorted including the EC BIOS. They tried to save it, but the hole in the MB was fatal. A replacement MB was going to have to be ordered, but I couldn’t afford a direct replacement that had the GeForce RTX 4090 Laptop chip on it. That would have put the repair over $2000. I settled for the same CPU, but with a GeForce RTX 4070 Laptop chip mounted. That made the repair come down to $1025. Still painful, but it was something I could afford.
