Keep everything local is a great strategy until your house burns down or your hard drive or SSD decides to end it's own life.

I'm not saying that you should use one drive. I'm saying that you should have backups. If all you can get is cloud storage, then one drive might fit the bill. Maybe it won't. I don't know you or what you want from a backup.

I back up my files to a NAS on my lan, but I also use one drive and Google drive when I need to.

All I'm trying to say is: one drive isn't necessarily the worst option. Raw dogging a single local storage drive as your only copy of the data you're trying to hold onto, is much worse than one drive.

Other than that, I'll just reiterate: back up your shit. And I want to add, check your bitlocker to see if it's on. If it is, back up your recovery key to somewhere safe. Bitlocker, in and of itself isn't a bad thing. I would argue that it's best practice to have some kind of FDE, and bitlocker can achieve that. Just back up the recovery key, for the love of God.

Pro tip. "Print" the recovery to a PDF, then email that file to yourself. Quick and easy. The option to save your recovery key to a file, will not allow that file to be saved to the drive that it unlocks, but if you print it, you can save it as PDF without the same limitations. Just don't leave it on the encrypted drive. Literally put it anywhere else. A USB drive, a NAS, an email, cloud storage, whatever you like. I'm not your boss.

Save yourself a metric fuckton of work, and/or lost data; back up your shit.

EDIT, some words (auto carrot), also, WTF? I'm being down voted for saying you should have backups? I expect better from lemmings.

Related, I'm a sysadmin, and I work in IT, and I approve this message. Back up your shit.

I will never again wonder how a group like the KKK was able to form, thrive, and persist for so long, inside the USA.

So glad I don't live there. I'm worried about you all.

Good luck.

Same people, I bet.

I call any non-native citizen (anyone not born in my country) an import.

Like beer.

Even with the years he has as a disadvantage, I would not have bet against Tyson.

It was genuinely surprising that he didn't win.

To be fair, it went to the judges, and they decided that Tyson didn't do as well as what's-his-face.... And looking at the numbers, it wasn't by much.

Say what you will about the man himself, but Tyson knows his sport and he's damn good at it.

With all that being said, what a crock of shit to waste so much time and effort so that some YouTube wannabe can match up against a retiree. Tyson won more fights than pretty boy has even officially fought, before that dickhead left his daddy's nutsack. Let me put that another way, there was no time in this guy's life where Tyson had yet to win a championship. He's been a world champion for tube boy's entire life.

As far as I'm concerned, Tyson was in it for the payday. Win or lose, Tyson was walking away on top.

I'm not going to defend people that are too lazy to comprehend words on a sign.

What I will say, is that it took me entirely too long to look up when I was at the grocery store. One of my first jobs was at a grocery store and it took me far too long to notice the signs.

They were perfect "influencers" as far as I'm concerned. Not that what you said isn't true, but I still consider them the embodiment of influencers.

That's truly surprising.

Thanks for sharing.

Oh, I'm specifically saying that the workers do a good job of assembling all the parts to make your coffee.

So I think we're saying the same thing with different terms.

To be fair, I think your wording is more clear.

I recently purchased a blade enclosure.

I might be in this meme.

I hope so, but given that we already know drumph will do a terrible job from.... IDK, four years ago?

..... I think that it's likely that this lesson will ever be learned.

In the most simplest, all I want is for people to look at the platforms and what each party wants to achieve before putting a mark beside their name at the voting booth. That's it.

If you can, with good conscience, vote for someone, knowing what they want to do for the people, then you deserve whatever they do if they win. If you vote without knowing what their plan is, that doesn't absolve you, in fact, you're probably more guilty than if you knew what you were voting for.

Say it with me now: ignorance is not an excuse.
