What run is this? I haven't been keeping up with Batman, but I do love me some dead Nazis.

Man, I'm looking forward to cuddling with Murphy again.

Long-lived succulents are the best! I have a pair of 18 year old desert roses that are still kicking. They've had successful offspring and now they're expecting grand babies.

I remember when idling was the easiest way to get TF2 drops so someone made a map with fire at the spawn to slowly kill idlers.

Anything for hats.

I'm fairly certain this is the endgame goal. Gerrymandering can only get the GOP so far - red states are already badly gerrymandered, there's not a ton of gains there. Populations between states aren't swinging that much to take away electoral votes from red to blue states.

But independent state legislature, now that's got legs. Gerrymandered red states stay red for state legislature, they pick the (no pun intended) "right" electoral college members, boom! No more democrat presidents.

St Louis style is basically sauce and plastic cheese on cardboard.

So here's the thing with massive individual drives. Assuming you're buying multiples for redundancy (say 4 for a 3+parity stripe), you'll probably come out ahead cost wise over a similar total capacity with "normal" sized 12TB drives.

But if one of those drives fail, assuming your consumption is around 60-75%, the rebuild time is going to be massive.

For comparison, I just upgraded from 6TB drives in my Synology 5-bay. It was pushing 90% utilization. Doing a drive by drive swap, waiting for the parity to rebuild as I replaced each one with a 10TB drive - it was the better part of 5 days.

If you are thinking of using it as a standalone drive (no redundancy), your back up plans better be solid, testable, and off to a different system (no relying on time shift to the same drive).

I love cast iron cookware. I have both a Dutch oven and an 18" frypan that both come with me when camping for meals.

I cannot deal with cast iron on a glass top stove (which is what we have at home). I refuse to use gas stoves, the resistive coils are typically really shitty, and induction doesn't work with all my pans (including the cast iron).

I really wish I could use my more reasonably sized cast iron, but most have a casting ring around the bottom, and all of them could break or scratch my stove's glass top.

Man, I miss Western NY.
