Thanks? NGL the instance I landed on was incidental, but ok. I’m also stoned AF so…

I see. The responses to OP were pretty critical and I couldn’t understand why. Now I have a bit of context. Thank you

Honest question. Why? Is it an accessibility thing?

Νεατ¡

Completely unrelated.

Do you run a script to automatically convert th to Thor, or is it a key binding to the symbol? Or something else? Just curious.

Also, yes, addiction and fascination are two different things. I miss when headlines were puns

Ooh ooh, I know how to get on a list!

Ahem

Luigi did nothing wrong

I’m surprised you didn’t have a series of backup tape drivers connected by SCSI lol

Oh wait, that’s more like twelve year old technology

At first I was like “9TB!? That’s like a billion bajillion. It’s like Dr Evil demanding $100 billion in 1969!”

And then I realized I have over 9TB of liberated media on my NAS. I really need to adjust my concept of technology, not to mention the passage of time.

I mean, 911 was only ten years ago, right? Right!?

At first I was like “how do they know I have ADHD?” And then I was like, “oh wait, they’re saying they have ADHD.” My people! Also, I hear you and agree

First off, congratulations on posting the comment you were working on instead of deciding you didn’t care enough to hit send. Second, I’ve done exactly what you’ve done, so if I’m a pedant I’m also a hypocrite. Third, I’m really really curious; what was the “or” half of the either/or statement you started at the beginning of your post? Or did autocorrect change really to either? Inquiring minds want to know

Through rigorous testing
Created the most abominable snacks
Grindin’ critters and chemicals up in a factory
Now your hand is stuck inside of the sack 🎶

I bought a two bay Synology for $270, and a 20TB hdd for $260. I did this for multiple reasons. The HDD was on sale so I bought it and kept buying things. Also I couldn’t be buggered to learn everything necessary to set up a homemade NAS. Also also i didn’t have an old PC. My current PC is a Ship of Theseus that I originally bought in 2006.

You’re not wrong about an equivalent NAS to my current pc specs/capacity being more expensive. And yes i did spend $500+ on my NAS And yet I also saved several days worth of study, research, and trial and error by not building my own.

That being said, reducing e-waste by converting old PCs into Jellyfin/Plex streaming machines, NAS devices, or personal servers is a really good idea

Is it possible the water rights are too restrictive in Colorado for their liking? I know there’s a lot of environmental restrictions and requirements for construction there. My friend’s brother makes serious money as a soil inspection engineer (not sure about his actual job title) in the mountains. If he says the ground isn’t stable the build doesn’t happen.

Sounds like Ohio with mountains and better PR

Grief is weird and normal. Glad she’s in relatively good spirits. Sometimes I get The Sads or The Grumpies and don’t know why until I remember. Try to be patient with her and yourself. You sound like a good friend

And remember, grief doesn’t have an expiration date

I lost my dad recently. I fully wept at the honor walk, and again at Dr Robbie’s flashback scene. You know the one
