Herpes. It’s sexually transmitted, and it’s lifelong. You don’t want it.

Seriously, I popped in just to say this. How fucking hard is it for people to understand the Streisand effect?

I’ve been here a while, but I might need some help here. Everyone left of Biden is a tankie? Am I understanding you correctly?

¿Porque no los dos?

Doing things the “wrong” way is overwhelmingly about service issues, not money issues. I came across the same issues where I live, and decided to take up “sailing” instead.

It’s really hard to accept help sometimes.

Our family went through the ringer the first half of this year and we had an outpouring of people offering support and help. It’s not that I didn’t need it, I just didn’t think I needed it at the time. Looking back on even 6 months ago, I was pretty dumb for not delegating some things that would have taken a lot off my plate that I didn’t need to deal with at all.

If you’re in a new place around new people, one way I’ve found that works sometimes is just asking someone for help with something really trivial, but not something that could easily be done yourself. Something that could just use another set of hands. It’s kind of an ice breaker and the other person might feel more inclined to be able to ask for some help next time.

Anyway, you seem like good people, I wish you were my neighbor. Don’t let people stop you from continuing to be a good person.

Except what? That was exactly my point.

If you’re in Europe, you can cross multiple countries in 3 hours. A 3 hour drive in any direction barely gets me out of my own state.

So I can understand why OP’s asking Americans. We’re pretty much secluded over here on our own plot with Canada and Mexico. Madrid to Moscow is about 4000 km as I understand it. Or 800 km less than it is from NYC to LA.

I’ve been to 44 States, Canada, Mexico and two other continents. Bad shit can happen anywhere. I will say that the best times I’ve had were hanging out with complete strangers from completely different backgrounds than mine and trading stories with them about home.

Thanks! It’s not even a hardware issue for me, I pretty much overbuilt this rig. It’s way more than capable of running 11. For me, it’s more of a “I’m done with MS’ BS” at this point.

I would certainly rather take extra steps to ensure I don’t lose something I need later. Thanks for the reply, I’ll end up doing this.

Perfect, thank you!

I’ll reformat the drives to the suggested ext4, that part’s fine. I was worried about whether or not I’d have to somehow convert all of the files going from the NTFS windows backup to the ext4 drives, but the other comment here said just copying them over would work.

Thank you for the reply!

This bootlicking bullshit is really tiring.

Yeah, this is pretty much what we’re saying.

“We’ve investigated ourselves and found that we did nothing wrong.”

Where does this assumption come from? I grow a garden full of hot peppers every year and spend all summer eating them.

I only put brown mustard on hotdogs, so I think at that point I would just eat a hot dog on a bun covered in Mac and cheese.

I loathe ketchup with every fiber of my being. Other people can use it however they want, but it truly ruins food for me.

Nothing, because if someone puts ketchup on my pizza, it’s going straight in the trash.

This guy was a constant pain in the ass, but that’s not a fireable offense. Spilling liquids without marking it off or telling anyone in a high traffic tow motor area can kill someone, so that is fireable. Honestly him getting walked out made everyone in the plant immediately safer.

I was working at a chemical plant, and had my tow motor license for about a week. We had these garage doors that stayed closed most of the time to keep everything compartmentalized in case of a fire. I was driving along with a pallet on the forks, and some asshole spilled water and didn’t put up the wet floor sign or even attempt to clean it up.

I hit the brakes, went sideways, and absolutely destroyed the bottom 3 panels on this garage door. The bags on the skid I was carrying ripped open and made a huge mess, but thankfully what I was carrying didn’t react to water. My manager went back and looked at the tape recording and found the guy who did it. Then he made him clean up the mess I made, and fired him when he was done. The whole thing was scary as hell.
