Upgrading by replacing your drives one at a time will likely get you where you want to go. When I upgraded my 6Tb drives in my 920+ to 12Tb drives it took about a week.
I'm 100% omnivore, but I fully support the alternative "meat" companies, hell I sometimes eat them cause they're tasty. I think it sucks that some groups are seeking to paint them in a bad light. Compete on the quality of your product. You didn't need to pay disingenuous games to do that.
This is fantastic.
So here's the question, would be happier to skip the "celebration"? I put celebration in quotes because it sounds to me as if it is far from a celebration for you.
If you would be happier skipping, if your mental health would improve due to avoiding all you mention, then your responsibility to yourself is to make your excuses and not attend.
I love days where I get unexpected and fascinating history lessons.
I have a small bit of hope. The Morning Joe people appear to have maybe learned something. It may be too early to tell yet.
Holy smokes what a fascinating read. Thank you.
Many years ago I saw Sick Puppies open for Evanescence. They absolutely blew the doors off the headliners that night.
Master and Commander by Patrick O'Brian. This series should keep me busy for a LONG time.
In June we moved from the Fried Chicken to the chef's nostrils. Now we are boogers
I love this so much. I hate where software has gone.
Me in the winter of 1979, halfway through my sophomore year of high school. I'm taking a sheet-rocking class and can't stop coughing and sneezing.
What can I transfer to?
Well we have this new class about computers?
I dunno what the fuck that means but I can't keep sheetrocking.
I walk into a room full of DecWriters and teletypes.
To connect to the computer you dial this phone number when you hear this weird noise you push the phone into these rubber cups.
You talk to that computer using this thing called BASIC. You can actually get the computer to do things!
I remember my first guess a number program, and printing it out to show my dad. He didn't understand it but thought it was cool I did.
45 years later I'm still making computers do things through code. All thanks to BASIC.
AnCap here, I think I would like to understand your comment better.
I'm mostly puzzled you don't believe AnCaps believe in freedom of choice, particularly as that is bedrock AnCap philosophy.
But it IS how we see prices. If there weren't science behind it, they wouldn't be doing it.
Such a great show, but the writing in season 5 was bad enough to make me but want to watch the second half.
I probably still will, but it's a series with a big asterisk next to it on my list of favorites.
Holy smokes I'm sorry. I didn't know if my story can encourage you or not, but maybe it will.
I got married in 1987. Not quite 20 years in in 2006, we split up. I was unhappy, and became an asshole and walked out in her and my three sons. I realized almost immediately that I couldn't look myself in the mirror. And twenty months later we decided to give it a shot. It lasted almost two years before the wheels finally came off for good.
So here I am, not quite 50 and very single. I met another girl, we became a couple and have now been together 13 years.
It can happen. You can find happiness again
Absolutely fucking brilliant.
This is a fantastic post. Thank you. I do know that the Feds often use the Commerce Clause to put the lie to my original statement, but with the abandonment of Roe, I've repeatedly heard "it's in the hands of the States" so maybe my hope is that someone somewhere my see a need to remain intellectually consistent.
Pipe dream, but a nice thought.
Not progressive, and I roll my eyes at many things California does. That said I 100% applaud this. I wish more states used their power as individual states to reign in the Federal government.
Remember The Constitution says any rights not specifically granted to the Feds are the States.
Good for California.
A fascinating bit of baseball history
A polka is always better when shared by friendly strangers.
I'm trying to learn to be a fan of baseball. This sort of history helps shape that burgeoning fandom.
I'm Writing a new Substack about baseball
For as long as I can remember, and that's quite a long time, I have thought I should be a baseball fan, but I have never ever been a baseball fan. Soccer? I've been #RCTID since 1976. Football? I've been a Seahawks fan since I learned to understand football. Basketball? I can vividly remember celebr...
I've long thought I should be a baseball fan, join me on a quest to become one.
Trying to find a song based on a very tiny fragment of memory
There's a song, I think I only heard one time likely on KGON in Portland, OR and likely in the late 70s. This song has haunted me over the years but I have never been able to locate it again.
The one thing I really remember is that there is a spoken-word portion where the vocalist talks about the Boogie Woogie, but pronounces it more like Boozhi Woozhi.
I'm laying in bed quarantined with Covid and once again its memory and my inability to determine what song it was is haunting me.
Favorites Broken on Series X
My favorites broke. They were working great but now they don't work at all. I can't favorite anything there icon sits in the middle of the plus sign and I can't move it to any open slot. Things I had already favorites continue to work, but I can't add new things or swap things out.
I've tried dropping my entire inventory and then picking things back up but that is not resolving there issue. It's not game-breaking but it is frustrating.
Holy shit USL officials are awful
Playing Oakland in injury time we score an ugly goal (likely an own goal).
Ref indicates a goal.
Oakland's keeper who is a complete wimp rolls around on the ground.
Stadium replay guy plays the goal.
Ref watches the replay and reversed himself.
Appalling.
gloves for large hands
I've never shot with a glove before and think it's time. I have pretty big hands XL motorcycle gloves are typically too small but not always.
So who recommends what?
XBox Summer Sale has XCom 2 at $9.99
If you've been waiting to buy on console, now is the time to pull the trigger
XCOM 2 on the Series X
I own XCOM 2 on PC. Is it worth getting it on the Series X so I can play while sitting on the couch?
XCOM 2 on Series X
How does XCOM 2 play on the Series X? Is it worth getting even though I already own it on PC?
Love the game and would love to be able to play sitting on my couch!
Weather Delay in Denver
Anyone have any insight into Rapids v. Timbers? Should I stay up later than I was planning (I'm on the East Coast). Or should I go to bed?
BTA 3062
Shortly after my previous post about BEX, my merc company folded due to a lack of funds.
I took the opportunity to install BTA and give it a try. I love the depth, I love the details, but I'm really struggling with the lack of a cohesive art style. I'm finding it pulling me out of my suspension of disbelief.
Has anyone else had that difficulty? Will I outgrow it with time?
Is the video game fair game here? or is it table top only?
If the video game is fair game...
I've been playing BEX, and I suck at it mostly. I always play Ironman, so that entails lots of restarts. I finally have a merc company that has lasted a bit. I've moved up to 2 and 2.5 skull missions.
Needed some money quickly and took a 1.5 skull mission. Comstar showed up, wiped my lance it was the last mission in my current system, I didn't know what I was going to do to not go bankrupt.
Discovered I had Shadowhawk in cold storage sold it, started taking out my "starter" mechs on half-skull and one-skull missions, I'm starting to become a bit more financially solid again and may have survived afterall.
