The thing I do not like about this design is the proprietary nature of how the USB board is embedded to the internal drive — meaning that, if the enclosure (or board) fails for whatever reason, you cannot move the drive to a different enclosure to try to rescue your files. (You also can’t shuck the internal drive & use

I’m sure others have said, but part of me still hopes it’s all a pre-announcement stunt for a Heroes for Hire series.

Separate sheets/comforters on the same bed. Makes sleeping all the nicer, and didn’t cut down on any nocturnal activities. 

These days, when I tell people about them, I refer to them as “seafood restaurant onion rings” because they were so ubiquitous to every seafood place I ate at throughout the greater New Orleans area had those — Burger King was the only place those crap food-service rings were sold.

I lived in the New Orleans area most of my life until post-Katrina. The Popeyes in the birthplace of Popeyes could be like that, but mostly were always fantastic — especially the onion rings; I do not understand how they can’t make proper onion rings anywhere but in N.O. (every other Popeye’s I’ve gone to that offers

I use a widescreen LG (3440 x 1440) with my older MacBook Pro (a 2013 model), so I have a lot of real estate on the sides. I tried putting it on the right, but it always interfered with the Finder’s preferred stacking of desktop items and icons, so I finally settled on the left. It’s been there for years without real

I pretty much want to do that to *anyone* who uses the phrase, “Do you know who I am?”

Completely relevant to this discussion: if you buy it, and it’s yours, you can do what you want with it. Just ask Mr. Brewster:

I know Anker has it covered, but it just looks like the weight of that thing coupled with where the blades are will pull it out of the wall socket. Wouldn’t it have been better to put the blades on the flat/fat side (and side or bottom plug) the USB plugs?

I ordered one of these last week when they were on sale; nice little keyboard. I absolutely have to have a split/ergo board when typing (I’m using a Kinesis Freestyle 2 right now); this will help when I’m out and the need to write becomes overwhelming.

I’d do something similar with technology; I’d have a pack-box with a date (usually one year away) and put wires, cables, etc. in it. If after a year it wasn’t pulled from the box, it was determined to be superfluous and I got rid of it — once, for $$ on eBay. (Sold it as a “wire mess box”)

About a dozen years ago (?), Bodum made a great coffee pot called the Santos; it was electric and needed no filter and had the added benefit of looking like some sort of science experiment. When we would have gatherings at the house, the kids would ask me to brew coffee (or just water) so they could watch it.

Had a friend once that had a number of APC UPSes set up in a workshop in his basement. He got a call from his wife while he was away for work; his wife said the power was out and that there was this horrible beeping coming from the basement.

Good idea (re/the twin box) but it’s in a bricked kitchen and that’d be major surgery.

Does any manufacturer make one of these that can replace a GFCI outlet? The perfect spot along my kitchen counter just happens to be a GFCI outlet.
