so this chutney would blow your socks off, tickle your feet, and put them back on

I must've peeled 1000 mangoes already

and season is not quite ready

[tidal bronze]

So deadlier than Carolina reaper ?

[steel crag]

I have 5 trees in my front yard

together they are, yes

but not on their own

[tidal bronze]

Wowza

[steel crag]

a Bahamian goat pepper is literally like 3rd or 4th on the Scoville scale lol

[tidal bronze]

I don't want to hit the head with a fire extinguisher, anything else I am game.

[steel crag]

well a nice cold beer usually does the trick

or if you are a small child maybe milk

I have a buddy that can't take the smell of this chutney

[tidal bronze]

I do piping hot tea with ginger after mega Scoville

[steel crag]

but I think he is a baby

ginger is good

but...

lime sherbert

😉

[tidal bronze]

Ah huh

That's an idea

You mean lemon. 🤣

[steel crag]

NOT LEMON

I fucking knew it

lol

I had that ready

to compensate for the internet

lolo

I sent that before you sent yours, just my laaaaaag

[tidal bronze]

Only time I use lime is chimichuri everything else is lemon.

[steel crag]

so you use lemon only in one thing, but lemon in everything else

gotcha

very clear when you put it like that

btw we eat green mangoes with the goat pepper and salt

that's why we didn't have many for the chutney lol

we had to do several buckets worth of mangoes

[tidal bronze]

You will have to bare with me, wine, tequila, mezcal with double apple hooka. So I might be tad bit off.

[steel crag]

im 3 rum and cokes in

[forest edge]

so just another day?

[tidal bronze]

Well yes, but at least today I am not drinking the same wine at 30K ft

[forest edge]

you should switch to mt dew, cherry coke or sweet tea.. even just water lol

[steel crag]

who drinks cheap wine in the air

mt dew contains yellow #5, we can't get cherry coke and I don't like sweet tea

actually gonna grab a coca-cola in a minute

[forest edge]

no cherry coke? you are 3rd world lol

[steel crag]

but I do love some Dr. Pepper

[tidal bronze]

Well they have 2 cabernets, in my carrier. When you do 150 flights an year it becomes cheap 🤣 so I end every flight with double vodka bloody Mary 😅

[steel crag]

I wouldn't say 'no' cherry coke, I'd say not easy to find

[forest edge]

you have to have grenadine

[steel crag]

I have a liter of grenadine in my liquor cabinet whatya mean

I also have triple sec and a few others

lol

ladies like sweet drinks

[forest edge]

here they make something "cherry flavored" with that, don't ask but it's how it's done

it's not as good, but still coke with grenadine is better than plain ole coke

[steel crag]

maraschino cherries prolly

at least that's what I'd do at the bar

with a little grenadine

[tidal bronze]

Wowza. You just lost a little bit of respect

[forest edge]

it's what they typically use for cherry flavored drinks

[steel crag]

if you ask for a cherry coke at the bar I don't respect you at all LOL

the only water I serve at my bar is in the ice

[forest edge]

i would ask for a cherry coke..

[steel crag]

and you would get maraschino cherries, in a coke

with some grenadine

and a coloring book

[tidal bronze]

No cherry Cole for me. As far as cherries, Amarena wild cherries or nothing.

[steel crag]

normally I have great broadband, however due to financial constraints at the moment I'm forced to use the free (read terrible) option

[static schooner]

free?

[forest edge]

he's using some free low bandwith wifi thing

first thing I would have done was set up some antenna for leeching wifi off the nearest hotel

[clever mortar]

Lots of countries do a basic broadband for free/next to nothing

[static schooner]

we have to work for our crappy broadband!

[clever mortar]

You can get 10 Mb/s for £15/month in the UK

[static schooner]

unbelievable:

I can't imagine that they have any customers

lol:

[clever mortar]

That makes the "up to 80 Mb/s" I used to get (which was about 40 Mb/s) look speedy

[static schooner]

I have a much faster option through my cable provider, but that's the only other option

[clever mortar]

I pay roughly that for 500 Mb/s

I think somebody there forgot a decimal point somewhere

[static schooner]

it's probably just people who had ADSL through AT&T 20+ years ago and never bothered to change

[steel crag]

first off, I'm way too far from any good hotels, and secondly wifi is $20 a day in the hotels

[steel crag]

this is actually just an open router someone has setup

and im already using a 1000mW adapter and a 7db directional to pick it up

[static schooner]

and the provider is okay with you using "all of it" for hours and hours?

[steel crag]

I've no clue where this network even is

I'm only getting about 60kBps, I'm sure that's hardly all of anything lol

[primal laurel]

60kB/s... That's painful

[forest edge]

wut? the hotels there charge for wifi to the tenants?

[static schooner]

does he live in the hotel?

[forest edge]

anymore these days most people live close enough to some retail with wifi that I am shocked more just don't leech lol

[steel crag]

so how do you connect to the internet?

[clear ferry]

Directly via a gpon

[steel crag]

yeah, but what makes the physical connection?

ONT? ONU?

[clear ferry]

Yes

[steel crag]

A modem that connects to a fiber optic network is known as an optical network terminal (ONT) or optical network unit (ONU). These are commonly used in fiber to the home installations, installed inside or outside a house to convert the optical medium to a copper Ethernet interface, after which a router or gateway is often installed to perform authentication, routing, NAT, and other typical consumer internet functions, in addition to "triple play" features such as telephony and television service.

it's a modem, thank you for playing.

[clear ferry]

I wouldn't call it a modem, but a multiplexer

[steel crag]

it modulates/demodulates TDMA on the optical network

MOdulate/DEModulate

#the-water-cooler message 🤔

Cubits or GTFO

[steel crag]

ok leagues?

[forest edge]

why does every cyclist in the world have the same damn mentality that everyone else should bend over backwards to accommodate them and that everyone should fork out unlimited funds to improve their experience? I just don't get how that can be so damn universal lmao

[finite atlas]

because thats what car drivers do?

[forest edge]

does that mean walkers are the same way?

just 3 way of hatred?

[finite atlas]

yes, they demand walking streets

running across streets when the light is red

[forest edge]

walkers hate cyclist, cyclist hates drivers and drivers hate walkers.. the circle of life

[orchid rose]

How often do you cycle if I may ask?

or if we're being more honest here, when was the last time you did

[forest edge]

not young enough to "cycle" past the age of 12 and think it's cool

[orchid rose]

old enough to think it's "not cool" though

[forest edge]

when i was younger kids use to ride bikes all the time, they were also told to stay off the damn street all the time. now kids don't ride bikes, only young adults and they refuse to ride on sidewalks

nothing cool about some sweaty string bean in the middle of the road on the other side of a blind hill in a 50mph road

[orchid rose]

Who are those sidewalks for, cyclists or pedestrians?

[forest edge]

both

[orchid rose]

They are incompatible

[forest edge]

so are bikes and cars but atleast bikes and people don't end up with death

[orchid rose]

Bikes and pedestrians would end up with deaths if cyclists were going full Lance Armstrong on those lanes

[forest edge]

pretty much sums up the cyclist mentality right there lol

[orchid rose]

Quite the opposite actually. Cyclists learn to adapt while drivers are generally given the preferential treatment with their own lanes. It's been slowly changing which is nice to see

[forest edge]

learn to adapt? all they do is bitch

thats not adapting

[orchid rose]

"they"

[forest edge]

thankfully it's illegal to cycle on the interstate here cause I know damn well i'd have to use my wipers to clear off the spandex stain off my windshield by now

[orchid rose]

Very edgy. No one is suggesting that bicycles should be roaming around on interstates though

[forest edge]

wrong, the typical cyclist mentality is to replace cars all together and use bikes as main transportation

[static schooner]

it just seems like you built a strawman and then burned it down as ridiculous

🤷

[orchid rose]

No, that's the Twitter cyclist enthusiast mentality that you car nerds tend to strawman every argument with. It's pretty painful actually

[forest edge]

how so? every cyclist argument is the same

[orchid rose]

I don't have a driver's license and I ride a bike regularly (also commute on public transport). AMA

[forest edge]

check out that youtube channel not just bikes. that person's outlook is the cookie cutter of what I hear/read all the time

[orchid rose]

Great channel

[forest edge]

yea see lol

universal

[orchid rose]

I believe they even made a video about my home town which gives them extra points

I don't think it's particularly useful for this argument though

[forest edge]

it's perfectly fine for everyone who shares that view to go live in a town that is built and supports it. another thing entirely to try and force change a town that wasn't

[orchid rose]

Do you see it as a zero-sum system?

I can guarantee that it isn't

[forest edge]

I see it like Jehovah's Witness but instead of knocking on my door they are blocking my way on the road lol

[orchid rose]

What, no, it's the literal opposite of that. You keep the modes of transport that are incompatible away from each other so that all of them can be more efficient. It's not rocket science

You don't want bikes on the road, I don't want cars on the streets

[forest edge]

confused. why do you keep assuming bikes and cars are compatible?

[orchid rose]

on the same roads cars and bicycles are incompatible

[forest edge]

thats the whole thing ...

[orchid rose]

So what's the solution?

[forest edge]

run over the cyclist?

[orchid rose]

I mean that is a solution

[forest edge]

cut the numbers down to 0

[orchid rose]

realistically though

[forest edge]

cycle somewhere else?

cycle on the sidewalk?

cycle in your garage

why should it be the drivers problem to deal with?

[orchid rose]

Have you seen how pedestrians go about? Talk about death risk, I'll rather cycle amongst Americans than pedestrians

[forest edge]

if infrastructure was designed from the start with combing the two then it's fine. but reality is, most isn't so you are basically throwing a wrench in the system

the only good side about it is, it's thier life on the line, not the drivers lol

[orchid rose]

That's a lame cop-out. We can change the infrastructure just fine around here and the US isn't any special in that regard

[forest edge]

and here we go

money grows on trees

another cyclist mentality

lets move entire buildings to widen roads

lets repave entire highways to msoothen the ride

[static schooner]

it's like a whole field of strawmen

[orchid rose]

Who do you think you need to widen roads or highways for? Bicycles? My dude at least try and make an argument for once

[clear ferry]

My wide Volvo disagrees with you

Fuck it's so big, put it back in!

[forest edge]

sorry, spending money is a mute point? how rich are you?

[orchid rose]

Not very

[forest edge]

we have roads here that barely allow two vehicles to pass by one another

when you throw a cyclist in the mix what do you get?

a trail of cars stuck going 5mph

we allow tractors on the road but atleast they go faster lol

[orchid rose]

Those are some very slow cyclists, but the whole point here is that we should keep the cars and cyclists separate. Give them their own space and the whole system will work a whole lot better

[forest edge]

they don't run out of wind on a hill

[forest edge]

and how do you do that? shit out the funds? like i said

you call it strawman cause you can't justify it

[orchid rose]

I think we manage it a lot better than the US does. I think the YouTube channel you mentioned points that out. For whatever reason you see it as some sort of propaganda

[forest edge]

well as i said, when the infrastructure is there it's fine

but the issue i have, is the mentality that somehow when it's not there that everyone else should bend over to make it happen

even those who don't cycle, can barley afford to pay taxes as is etc etc

that just not bikes guy did some video i think recently where he was in NY and said all suv's should be banned lol

[steel crag]

let's be real SUV's aren't an issue, it's the things that try to pass themselves as SUV's that are LOL

How do you think that infrastructure comes about?

[forest edge]

you talking from scratch or from necessity?

are you about to say bikes are necessity?

[orchid rose]

In general mostly. Why is it a thing in Europe while it somehow is impossible in the US

[steel crag]

well, if cyclists and pedestrians paid to drive on roads like vehicles do, then the infrastructure would prolly be lots better

[forest edge]

cause we spend enough money on other shit to piss away even more on something that is mostly a hobby?

[steel crag]

it's $15 to register a bicycle here, one time fee... I pay $195 a year just for licensing for one car.

[forest edge]

wut? you have to pay to ride a bike?

that dosen't even make sense

[steel crag]

if you want to ride it on the public roads, yes

you get a license plate and everything

[forest edge]

I somewhat get what your saying, but that dosen't make sense since children can still maybe one day ride a bike lol

[steel crag]

if you're caught on a bike that is not licensed out on the public roads, the bike is confiscated until you go to the police station with the receipt for it

and if you give any lip about it, you might be confiscated too

[forest edge]

while the majority of the roads/streets and even highways have sidewalks to a degree.. not all of them do and riding bikes in neighborhoods or anywhere where the speed limit is 25mph and below is perfectly fine imo

[steel crag]

we are starting to have sidewalks everywhere now

it used to be just on major roads or none at all

now someone finally figured out asphalt on limestone needs retaining concrete

[forest edge]

blows my mind how lacking the Bahamas is.. i had always pictured stupid rich people would just like flock there and it would be all super nice cause the amount of tourism etc

[steel crag]

there are sidewalks in the rich neighborhoods

[forest edge]

lol

[steel crag]

and drainage too

infact, they have sewers

[forest edge]

oh so they just keep it all to themselves?

your government sucks

[steel crag]

isn't that indicative of rich people?

[steel crag]

don't they all by nature?

[forest edge]

thats why the government steps in lol

or should

share the wealth type of thing to a degree

you can't build here without beneifiting the surrounding area in some degree

[steel crag]

let me tell you how bourgeois they are .... they are trying to stop a Wendy's from being placed on the island Atlantis is on because "it makes the place look cheap"

[shadow prawn]

You know they‘re rich people when their sidewalk is heated

[steel crag]

well in gated communities, that's what they do.... benefit the surrounding area behind the security guards at the gate.

[forest edge]

where is this? i would think that is for snow melting

[shadow prawn]

Yeah that’s in Oslo

Yeah i think so too

[steel crag]

here you can tell how poor an area is based on the amount of liquor stores nearby

[forest edge]

so here that would be an expense to the whoever owned that building

[steel crag]

there's 5 within 5 mins of my house and im in a nice area... not rich... just nice

[shadow prawn]

So the poorer the more liqor stores?

[steel crag]

and there's typically a church next door to the liquor store

[forest edge]

i mean the way you sound, especially about your net.. i would drink alot too lol

you actually make the bahamas sound depressing

[steel crag]

lmfao well im not on "my internet"

normally I would have absolutely no gripe about internet

250 down/25 up

but it's not cheap

hence why I'm just gonna wait till they pull the fiber through here

it's $190 a month for my internet, whereas I can get 300/50 for $75 on fiber

so when fiber gets here I will save lots more

[forest edge]

when fiber becomes available they will drop the price of your normal net

monopoly always gouges and competitors force price drops

[steel crag]

it's the same ISP....

I can already get fiber from another ISP but they are terrible

and they have it in all the rich areas already

shocking huh

[forest edge]

not sure how norwegian manages clearing sidewalks but if it falls on the expense of the immediate area than those heated sidewalks will probably save money on labor while reducing incidents. not sure I would call that a "rich" issue

[steel crag]

let's give the guys that were paying $3000 a month a break and screw the little guy

shoot I have seen heated roads in some places

and I'm pretty sure in Dubai I seen them aircondition the street

[forest edge]

heated driveways is not that uncommon

[steel crag]

here your driveway gets heated for free, same as roads

[finite atlas]

Thin wood and drywall is not a house.

[forest edge]

thin? just what are you picturing?

[forest edge]

you just answered your own question, look at the thickness of those concrete blocks and the "wood" studs

[finite atlas]

lawl

[steel crag]

I have on in my office, somewhere

[finite atlas]

our chimney uses thicker bricks

[steel crag]

lmfao that's a house?

[finite atlas]

a american "house"

[forest edge]

to better crush you with?

[finite atlas]

The house is older than your grandparents and has not crashed once.

[steel crag]

I thought it was a stick rendition

we use 8" thick concrete blocks

[forest edge]

german bricks are only slightly larger

[steel crag]

my inner walls are 4" think concrete blocks

all poured columns and belt course

[finite atlas]

Our outer house wall is roughly 30cm thick bricks/stones.

[forest edge]

our hurricane homes foundations are thicker than that

[steel crag]

my foundation is 36" poured slab lol

[finite atlas]

Sonoma is now trying to come up with every argument, how american houses are just plain superior in every aspect.

[forest edge]

one thing you have to keep in mind, we builds homes according to the surrounding enviroment, so homes built near beaches are not the same as one's more inland

[forest edge]

nothing to do with superior, has to do with logical

[finite atlas]

yes yes, sticks and paper houses are logical

[clever mortar]

A lot of modern European construction has moved away from bricks/concrete to timber frame

[forest edge]

better insulation

[finite atlas]

To cut down on costs

[forest edge]

wood has a lot of benefits

[finite atlas]

Like rotting

[clever mortar]

Cuts down costs, reduces thermal mass (which is good and bad), and can be better insulated (or worse)

[clear ferry]

Brick \ concrete frame is usually strange architect houses here

[forest edge]

your joking right?

[clear ferry]

we have concrete foundation on all houses still

[forest edge]

all foundations are either block or concrete

[clever mortar]

Yeah, concrete foundations are normal here, and outer walls are often still brick/concrete, but sometimes only a single skin with an inner timber frame

[finite atlas]

Our house foundation, basement, outer walls and chimneys are all made with bricks, stones and concrete.

Only the floors are made with 20cm x 20cm wood beams. And the staircase is out of wood aswell.

[forest edge]

sounds humid

[finite atlas]

Besides the basement that has a known issue, its less humid inside than outside.

[forest edge]

yea mold was my second guess

[finite atlas]

The living areas are the majority of the time around 45-55%.

[forest edge]

we are actually moving toward more hybrid materials like insulated concrete forms. imagine in the next 50-100 years most our homes will be mostly some hybrid material

[finite atlas]

The only mold issue is on one of the baths, where a window is badly isolated and thats only a semi problem during winter, 20 days a year. Using another bath to shower instead during those days solves the issue or just opening the window after showering for an hour, but that cools down the bath a lot.

[forest edge]

yea see, we don't need to do any of that

it just works

[finite atlas]

Yeah see, our house is 110 years old and my grandparents renovated it themselves with 0 knowledge.

[forest edge]

my farm house is older than that

but it's made from platers and wooden slats

[umbral cliff]

Is this some sort of dick measuring contest except with house construction

[forest edge]

the side walls are mostly concrete with some shit tossed in lol

@steel cragyour first true local beer only started in 2007? didn't know that

explains why only a few states carry any of it.. florida and texas for some reason

[steel crag]

nah it's not the first true local beer, it's just the first local beer where the brewery is Bahamian owned.

semantics really

Kalik has been around since like 1989

but it's made by Heineken's brewery

[forest edge]

thats what true local means

started, owned and operated fully locally

[steel crag]

well in that case we don't have local anything really

we don't grow hops or barley

or make yeast

[forest edge]

true, but 3 out of 4 is better than 2 or 1 out of 4 lol

amazon mostly caters to american citizens we make up over 2/3 of thier client base. would imagine it's reverse for like aliexpress

as for austria your probably shafted with like some kind customs issue lol

my great grand mothers were both still alive on my moms side well into their 90's

[forest edge]

you don't have to have kids at 16 to see a great great still alive

my great grandmother died maybe 2 years before my son was born

so if I had him at 22 it would have been 5 generations alive

the most we have been able to pull off so far is 4

is there anything to do in the bahamas other than drink and hump?

I wonder if I will notice a speed increase if I switch to ring-necked doves, as opposed to pigeons

[clear ferry]

I suggest adding multiple pidgeons for max link aggregation

and do a suitable load balancing algorithm

preferably l3+4

[steel crag]

this would be a good idea but if I put that many antennas I have to deal with a roof covered in 'discarded packets'

so it would have to not retransmit so much

[clear ferry]

that's easy, implement stateless forwarding

[steel crag]

quantum pigeon processing

where the pigeon can exist in 3 states at once

[clear ferry]

also remember to introduce PoE (pidgeon overly electrocuted)

[steel crag]

that's already accounted for in the protocol... noob

did you even read the RFC?

Yes

Did you see that Stallman came to Norway to actually implement it once ?

[steel crag]

yes

I see there's testing in AU where the pigeon beat both a car, and DSL for a 4Gb upload

setting up the network is what takes the longest

you need good pigeon modem

what's wrong with DOCSIS?

and that was 512K

[clear ferry]

we had it from 97-99

then I got dsl in 00

and ftth in 04

[steel crag]

our cable company was routing most of its internet thru VSAT at that time

and not 'their' VSAT either LMFAO

there was a big controversy

cable company was paying the local TV station for interconnect to TV network, and the cable company started reselling the VSAT link

🏴‍☠️

this is a nation founded, filled with, and run by pirates and their kids

I could have gotten ftth 3 years ago, but it's the terrible ISP

current ISP said Q1 2023... we are almost in Q3....

"no idea when it will be done"

I could have run the fiber myself by now

maybe I will do that actually I have a few hundred feet here, I can run it to the edge of my property ready for them

12 strand should be OK

finished putting my flea collars on my barn cameras. hope they repel the damn spiders

[dusky plank]

how often do you talk with neighbors? besides the casual weather rant?

[static schooner]

almost never

[clear ferry]

Two times a week in summer

Once every two weeks in winter

[dusky plank]

such weird behaviour

[static schooner]

usually when there's some shared issue - fence repair, neighbor is renovating their backyard and both needed my sign-off and wanted to use my driveway to get machines in and out

[clear ferry]

Fences are not allowed in my area , it is more related to my neighbour being a music nerd and she has lots of power tools i want to borrow

You need to sign off of neighbours renovating in their backyard?

[static schooner]

HOAs are quite common here, and yes, part of that is getting approval from neighbors when you do stuff to your house when it's visible and disruptive

[clear ferry]

Interesting

I've heard of the HOA nonsense yes

[steel crag]

this reminds me of when they said "great white sharks have no predators" then Orcas were like "hold my beer"

[steel crag]

but won't you need your flea collars? now your cameras won't have spiders but you'll get fleas again

[clear ferry]

TIL US plugs are polarized

[steel crag]

eh?

[clear ferry]

They have one larger leg so you can only fit it one way

[steel crag]

yeah, dummy proof

[clear ferry]

That is not normal i Europe

Ours go both ways

[steel crag]

also y'all don't use 120V

different wiring codes

so why would it be? you Europeans can't even decide on standard plugs

[clear ferry]

We have shuko in most countries thank you

Italy and UK doesn't count

[steel crag]

and spain?

[clear ferry]

Spain had regular plugs last i visited

[steel crag]

and don't you mean Schuko

[clear ferry]

Ja

[steel crag]

and sorry it was France not Spain I meant to say

[clear ferry]

The France one is fully compatible with the rest tbf

Even if the design is strange

[steel crag]

well I can remember having every kind of adapter in our camper van in UK

just for when we went to the continent

[clear ferry]

I only bring an adapter to the UK

[steel crag]

I don't take any of that shit anywhere anymore

I just switch the plug on my laptop charger

[clear ferry]

I do that when I go to the us

Stole a lead last i was there

[steel crag]

I accidentally stole my uncles

it's of no use to me here

just ended up in the bag when I packed

[last cedar]

You have to use converters if you are in Switzerland though, all their electrical cables are neutral

[clear ferry]

Yeah, neutral to neutral, 0v, as normal

Carry on

atx hush before I flash your raid array with HAOS

[clear ferry]

I actually don't have any raid arrays left in my house

[steel crag]

what?

did patrex take over your account?

blink twice if you need help

[clear ferry]

[steel crag]

im sending priority packets to the police, but ala QoS is poor even in RFC 2549

HAOS on Proxmox is best setup

RAID is dead though

oboy one of my HDDs is 20c hotter than the rest.

[clear ferry]

That not normal

Mine currently stay at 40c after i reduced fan speed

Perfection

[prisma briar]

I think it's going out. I'm getting I/O delays from it too.

Nothing in the SMART but the high temperature though.

It's at 58c

[clear ferry]

Yikes

[prisma briar]

It's at 6 years power on time. It had a good run.

[steel crag]

tell it its grounded

if it's a teenager it will disregard anything you say

[clear ferry]

6 years? I have disks with double that

[prisma briar]

I think the oldest I've had in service is 10 years

[steel crag]

my "new" drives are older than that

[prisma briar]

Age-wise I have a bunch of 250GB Maxtor drives that still work.

[clear ferry]

Pretty sure I have 16yo drives in use currently, with at least 14 years on time

600GB ones

They are gonna be replaced with 2TB ssds soon

[steel crag]

I have like 7 of those in a RAID5 NAS as we speak

atx go decommisson the SSD's, tell them enough is enough

[prisma briar]

I don't have anything that small in use anymore. I've got 4x4TB in my server right now and another 24TB of SMR drives in a server I take backups to.

[clear ferry]

Tbf, they have 100 of them

I'm only gonna take 24 or 48

[steel crag]

take 96

strap them to pigeons and lets test RFC 1149

[prisma briar]

I had 40 of the 250GB Maxtor drives at one point, I think I'm down to 20-something now. I've handed a number out to friends/coworkers for free.

[steel crag]

one missing packet would be incredible loss tho

[clear ferry]

I had 8x12 of the 250GB Maxtors

They were all recycled 8 years ago

[steel crag]

I have a shipping crate full of 1TB and 2TB drives as well lol

[agile jewel]

I maybe know the reason why i keep getting banned all the time. 🤔 I dislike someone telling me what to do. So i argue and they then take advantage of their position 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

[agile jewel]

Even when I'm polite
