Wait, did you sneeze and accidentally add a period at the end of that? Because I (like any rational, thinking human) expected it to end like this:

Obligatory...

Me too. It sucks to learn the hard way, but at least it was sufficient motivation to be better prepared...

Yes, I think that’s definitely the right approach for NAS. But if you’re going with NAS, you need to have an understanding of the latency/resiliency trade-off. I wanted resiliency but didn’t have the cash to buy/maintain 3+ drives. So my specific issue was with mirroring, which is butt slow. It’s better now,…

A note about backing up:

“but it’s very standard to...”

This isn’t rec league. The coach would be excoriated if she didn’t bring in Lloyd, because in this sport, every minute on the international and tournament stage is considered an opportunity to get better and prepare for the next opponent, which is why every member of the commentator panel (that played the sport)…

That’s a lot of words to say, “they qualified for the tournament,” but at least we agree.

Nevertheless, it makes no sense for them to take their foot off the gas. Doing so treats Thailand as though they are inconsequential (disrespectful) and screws with the USWNT rhythm, intensity, and momentum.

I get to sleep with the Librarian.  Although she is getting tired of me singing “Madame Librarian” every time I come by...

Rust would be one item.  I’m currently wrestling with a sticky door lock--it works manually, but sticks when I use the remote.  Pretty sure I’m just going to skip replacement of that until I can’t lock the door.

I have a new benchmade knife that I’ve had to sharpen, but the one that was lost--I never once sharpened it in that 20 years.  The tip probably needed it, but the main part of the blade really didn’t.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

This article needs more sagaci... errr cowbell.

Best groomsman gift I ever received? A Benchmade knife. Used it for twenty years before a child (that was almost subsequently abandoned afterward) lost it.

No you’re not.

Amazing stuff! I’ve never been a fan of the Elves/Eldar looking like greek goddesses though.

I think that’s a fair comparison, but the time-travel part makes it different, I think. I think time-travel requires a very delicate hand to maintain any sense of drama. Even if you reduce the scope to just T1 and T2, each movie effectively undermines the resolutions from the prior ones.
