Whoa, this is heavy!

I buy Samsung SSDs when I can afford them, Kingston when money is tight. Samsung is faster, especially their NVME drives. Both have been very reliable for me.

How about this instead? We vote for Biden to ensure that former President Orange does not get elected. Then, and only then, do we try to get Biden removed from office for his failure to protect Palestinian civilians.

Allowing Orange to win would make things worse for both Palestine and Ukraine.

Unfortunately, this knuckle-dragger is not capable of admitting, perhaps even understanding, that he brought all of this on himself. Everything bad that happens to him is someone else’s fault. Everything good that happens was his idea.

These are used drives that have about 35K hours (4 years) of power on time.
Good quality drives to be sure, but maybe not as reliable now as they once were.

I’m starting to feel like violence is the answer to this kind of argument. I’m not there yet. But I get closer every time I see this shit.

Rogers primary campaign ad was weird. He said he’s running for the US Senate but instead of talking about how he will work for Michigan, he complained about Joe Biden. So your intent is to obstruct rather than govern? How is that appealing to anyone?

It’s because writing research grants, getting them approved, and publishing papers on that research has become more about getting the money and less about producing quality results.

While I doubt that things are actually more dangerous nowadays than before, Cruz has been very vocal about selling the narrative that things are getting worse. If he feels like his life is in danger, he needs to work to make it safer for everyone instead of just himself!

I am of the opinion that closed-minded thinking is only part of the issue. The other part is there are well financed interst groups who work hard to create and encourage division in order to prevent regular folks from working together for a common cause.

The reason is simple: convince people to fight amongst themselves and they will be too busy to notice how much they are being ripped off by the tiny handful of rich people at the top.

I don’t know what the current pay rate is for that job, but I am certain that if the pay was double of whatever it is now the worker shortage would suddenly vanish!

Completely agree.

No matter what they do the orange man loses. Either they rule against him and he goes to jail or they rule in his favor and Biden takes full advantage of his own “Presidential Immunity.”

5G means Fifth Generation, so I would think that 5.5G is simply an improved version.

Powdered sugar instead of flour on the outside?

Wow! I’m not religious at all. So maybe I am just being an insensitive prick about this, but I really don’t care if someone wants their remains to be on the moon and I don’t care who it offends. It’s the moon.

There is no way in hell I would stop and consider the feelings of any religious group about a planetary body that isn’t Earth.

I also think that sending human remains to the moon is a complete waste of time, money, and resources. The only way a flight like this makes any sense is as a precursor to a manned mission.

Someday in the near future I expect there to be some kind of long term living space on the moon. When that happens, at some point someone will not make it back alive. It seems perfectly reasonable to me if their remains stay there permanently.

I don’t know. Maybe that’s just me. I’m not in a position to be anything more than a single voice. The whole thing seems really kinda dumb.

We have two buildings on our property with mini split heat pumps. Both are very quiet. They can be a bit noisy indoors if you turn the fan above the medium setting. It’s basically silent on the low fan setting. Low is plenty for both heating and cooling.

Depends on local laws of their state, but yes in most states you lose the right to vote while in prison and some places, like Florida, make it difficult to get your right to vote back. Not sure if the prison sentence being for a state or federal crime makes a difference or not.

Best advice I can offer is to ask questions whenever you hear something objectionable.

Child: “You like science too much.”

You: “Why do you think that?” or “Why do you say that?”

Asking them to explain what they are saying tells you more about what is really going on and can help them to consider why they think that way.

This guy is who I have in mind when talking about this subject. https://youtu.be/9gHmhObfbn4?si=xKaMUCh37q_UOxjo
