Never underestimate my laziness

I regret that I have but one upvote for this comment

And it was inadequate then

Which is why I ignore their constant pleas for money. They can be objective, but I’m tired of news organizations sanewashing this shit.

The quality of research done by people who advocate for “do your own research” is only as good as their education.

I have a friend who is my age, graduated college with me and likes to do his own research. I love the guy, but his ability to parse complex information is simply bad. He thinks that his own research on medical issues is superior to that of all doctors simply because he interprets what he reads in whatever way he wants it to mean. He never even tries to debunk anything.

I love the guy, and I’ve known him more than half my life now, but I have to simply humor him on medical advice.

She was a great public servant.

Not you, no

He ate a baby recently!?

How’s that working out for ya?

I used to buy external drives when they went on sale, and I’d shuck the case off of them. In my opinion the quality of the drives in those externals went downhill sometime in the last several years. You might get lucky and get a drive meant for a data center, but I’ve stopped playing that lottery.

These days I just buy retired but warrantied data center drives from sellers on eBay. They’re big, tested, reasonably priced and the seller will replace them within their warranty period if they do die (I usually see 3-5 year as the warranty time). So far I haven’t had any of these die in the last couple of years. Seagates used to fail me constantly thought. I’m now down to only one Seagate still working.

Open Media Vault is another good choice that has a web management interface

I’m quite happy with Tidal. Been using it for 6-7 months now.

No one talks about Andy Dick

I’m very disappointed you registered an account and in your inability to grasp reality. Welcome to my block list.

Christ, that’s a lot of words to try to twist some meaningless point out of a difference in semantics.

Fortunately it’s a matter of public record and you don’t need to listen to stories.

Bernie joined the party. He had to in order to run as a Democrat. He later became independent again.

The parties get to decide who can run in the primaries
