The CK Daily – Zombies…spiders…and skeletons
Happy Thursday!
One thing I have learned now that I have been in my new neighborhood for over a year and gone through a full cycle of holidays is that my neighbors go wild with decorations. I wouldn’t say it is at a competitive level…yet…but it seems like each holiday gets bigger and bigger. Halloween seems to be no exception. I imagine most of the Amazon deliveries over the past few weeks have been Halloween decorations showing up at people’s homes. It is a bit crazy with what some people have done, and I don’t think they are done yet. Everything from 12 foot tall werewolves and skeletons, to giant spider webs, to skeletons and zombies coming out of the ground in every yard, we have it all in here. It is kinda hilarious some of the creativity that they have come up with around here. I was just going to set a pumpkin out on the front porch and be done with it but they weren’t having that. After being bullied (I am totally joking of course) by no less than 4 of my neighbors, I finally broke down and decided to put some decorations out. They really wanted to the whole street to be an “experience” for the kids and people who come through. (I think we had about 300+ kids come through the neighborhood last year.) Now, I am thinking I need to put out more…geesh…they have gotten to me and sucked me in. Haha!
Do you, your neighbors, or whole neighborhood go wild decorating for Halloween?? If so, what’s the main theme or your favorite decoration? I need more ideas! Haha!
Have a great rest of your week and weekend!

Learning Center Article – Basics of GPU Servers
Servers are essential in the modern world. They do the heavy lifting that allows all of us to enjoy the many perks of a digitally connected life. Whether browsing the internet, using a favorite app, or even talking on the phone, servers are playing critical roles at every juncture. With so much depending on servers, it’s not surprising to see that they continually experience serious innovation. Today’s servers can run laps around those used even five years ago, and there are a few key reasons for that.
One of those reasons is the use of GPUs. GPU servers are becoming more common, and they offer a lot to any enterprise that might put them to use.
Today’s News to Start Your Day:
- More than 30 people, primarily children, were killed Thursday when a gunman opened fire in a childcare center in northeastern Thailand, authorities said. It was the deadliest rampage in the nation’s history.
- Twelve North Korean warplanes flew in formation near the South Korean border in a simulation of an air-to-ground attack Thursday, prompting Seoul to scramble 30 fighter jets of its own. The South Korean military says it detected eight fighter jets and four bombers in the North Korean formation. South Korea’s flight of 30 warplanes did not engage the sortie, however, and only guarded the country’s airspace. The flight is only the latest aggression to come from Kim Jong Un’s regime, which has launched numerous ballistic missiles in recent weeks.
- Amazon said Thursday it will add 150,000 workers for the holiday shopping rush. The hiring ramp comes ahead of Amazon’s “Prime Early Access Sale” next week.
- A SpaceX rocket soared into orbit from Florida on Wednesday carrying the next long-term International Space Station crew, with a Russian cosmonaut, two Americans and a Japanese astronaut flying together in a demonstration of U.S.-Russian teamwork in space despite Ukraine war tensions. The mission is notable for the inclusion of Anna Kikina, 38, the lone female cosmonaut on active duty with Roscosmos, making the first spaceflight of a Russian launched from U.S. soil in two decades.
