Welp, there goes my suggestion of a giant bag of Pirate’s Booty

Looks like a water dragon to me.

I didn’t even think of the helicopters, but yes, that transport is relatively easy. My experience is tangentially related to the fixed wing jet tankers.

I think that firefighting activity stresses airframes more than usual as well, so I was also estimating from that maintenance side.

I figure that it could be done, generally, but timelines would probably be tight and costs could escalate quickly, both financially and environmentally.

I’m not an expert by any means, but I believe the logistics of flying across major oceans makes it somewhat more impractical for shared resources like that.

We used a Hori wired gamepad for a while. It was better than nothing, but not being wireless made it a bit of a hassle to use.

Electric Boogaloo

Engorged.

Tumescent.

Turgid.

That’s really cool. I wonder if there’s a high resolution scan of that somewhere. Looks like it’s printed on fabric too. I’m sure there’s some great backstory to its construction and use.

Edit: sure enough, there is. Link

Holy hell, that’s a good album. Nice one!

Devon and Bitey cheese toastie. (Toasty?). Anyway, mayo on the cheese side and Maille Dijon on the Devon side.

It’s no fried bologna sando, but it’ll do for a work lunch.

I had a Synology DS412+ using their glacier interface to backup offsite. Pictures, personal dvd/bluray collections and music collections. Moved internationally and the NAS/hard drives didn’t fit into our weight/damage potential allowance. So we opted for the nuclear option of keeping it all on ice and paying through the nose to get it all back locally later.

Looking at one of the UGREEN boxes and some sort of port of the synology os/apps to pull it back down. Worst case scenario, I grab a new synology box and pay their hardware premium to recover things. The hope is to move away from both Synology and Amazon as much as possible.

Nothing is set in stone though, it’s a project for later once the savings is replenished and we have some more discretionary funds.

Amazon Glacier at like US$23/month for around 10 TB. It’s going to be a nightmare expense to pull it all back out though, especially after building a new NAS at these current prices.
