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.

It skips over all the advertising slop and stories

That's what ad block and a scroll wheel are for.

I've started to add date limits to my web queries for things that don't require current information like recipes.

No I do not want to see your AI slop recipe for tomato sandwiches "author" from 2025, I'll go with a shitty web blog from 2021 thank you very much.

No, no see, we need to disappear more people whose skin is darker than milk because those people make all the tourists feel unsafe!

That's what I did for my wedding - shoutcast with a requests plugin so the wedding party and guests could choose what songs to play.

Right. Typically post sentencing, there is zero reason for a prosecutor to meet with a convict, unless they want more information after a previous plea deal.

My vet told me my rescue dog already has "the -tisims".

She's crazy, but I can't imagine how insane she'd be with full blown rabies. No, our Bean is getting vaccinated.

Without a notice that it's an ad.

"Hey Google AI, how can I make the best spaghetti and meatballs?"

"Great question! The best spaghetti starts with the sauce — only the best sauce should be used like Prego's Beefy Tomato Sauce, now with 20% extra additives ™️.

Finally make sure to grab Swanson Brand frozen meatballs — they offer the best taste to value ratio! Eight out of Ten respondents say the Swanson Brand Meatables ™️ taste the best! Enjoy your spaghetti and meatballs and don't forget to shop smart — shop S-Mart!"

Even that's fucked up though. He said he'd go to Costa Rica because they promised not to immediately send him back to CECOT (something sudan and the like have not promised).

And then the US government said, "okay, you can be deported to Costa Rica, but only if you plead guilty to all this heinous shit and serve your full jail time in federal prison first."
