Ford v Ferrari, and I really enjoyed it. It had the right amount of corporate backstabbing being out smarted by the main character. Not a feel good flick but it had a lot of good racing scenes and it was exciting.

Also watched the last 30 minutes of The Revenant which I had started but not finished.. that movie is brutal. And as my second watch-through, I'm still not entirely sure what the take away thoughts are. It's just survival and people are awful to each other. I'm not sure there's a lesson or reward at the end. Maybe I missed the whole point.

I love Truenas so much. I'm growing into its capabilities every day.

Low heat alone will help a ton like you said, high heat seems to ruin everything and it's just not needed unless unless it's towels maybe.

I knew that fabric softener would stop towel absorption but I never thought about dryer sheets too. I thought those were just antistatic.

Also the "deli sites" typo made me laugh.

As a child, the house we grew up in had a very large tree in our back yard. I had a memory of burying some skeleton keys near it but couldn't remember where. The house was old enough that we'd find skeleton keys occasionally and also as a kid they are special.

I searched for days, weeks, months... Digging holes all over the yard and under the tree. I recruited neighborhood kids and friends.

For two summers we searched for buried treasure. Never found them. Might have been a dream I had of burying the keys. I still think about it occasionally and wonder. The tree is long gone and the truth is I'll never know for sure.

I'm not a fan of campy, I love the gritty haunted bond we had with Craig.

Austin powers is fun but it's not interesting (to me).

I grew up starting with GoldenEye which was a strange movie, a little corniness but serious stuff too. I enjoyed the transition to a more serious bond from Brosnans.

I purchased a case, SilverStone Technology CS382 8-Bay. Around $200-225.

Bought used parts off eBay:

Asus P8Z77-M LGA 1155 DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Motherboard $75

32GB DDR3 1333 $35

LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-81 IT Mode P20 $35

Nvidia Quadro P620 2GB GDDR5 4x mini DisplayPort $70

I have six 12tb drives (seagate exos), purchased refurb from serverpartdeals.com and had great luck with them and their support. I found that on Reddit data hoarder sub.

I run Truenas. 4 drives for primary. 2 drives for backup of the first 4. And I have a qnap 4 bay dumb raid box for a third backup with old drives I had. My paranoia but not related really to the nas.

Anyway it's possible and I enjoy what I built. Also that case is loud, get a fan controller too.

Where can I find more of your work? I checked your post history and could find no other social media or websites.

No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they "called" it.

I understand your point and this poster didn't excite me either, but Fury road had two famous people in it as well and I consider it iconic.

It may be just a copy cat movie.... Or it may pull a performance from them both that surprises us.

I honestly just don't know what to expect from either actor.

Black-eyed Susan. They grow in big bunches and expand outward each year in a ring where the seeds fall. Just a simple flower that stands out in late summer in my area and lasts through fall. It's low maintenance too.

I want to like mastodon but I don't want to do the leg work of finding accounts. I like the algorithm to some extent, I want help to find things.

I also have trouble deciding how to support the post. Liking doesn't do anything and tooting or whatever puts it on my page. I don't feel part of the community boosting topics I like.

I like voting things up and down.

Maybe I'm doing it wrong but I try and get instantly bored because I have to hunt for everything. I really tried.

Couldn't forward emails until about a month ago.

Their drive app backs up only the computer it's on and other computers cant access that backup. It's like a sectioned off part. Or I can upload files that any of my devices can access.

Their calendar has some problems with compatibility of run into and it's things that the person on either side can't change. Not world ending but it's really annoying.

They literally just added the ability to automatically add holidays to the calendar. And of course I had set it up about a month prior so I manually entered everything.

The proton drive app for your phone doesn't automatically back up anything.

I'm not shitting on proton because I'm an active proton unlimited subscriber and I use a bunch of their services, but I also recognize the flaws and how it's not as seamless as Google yet, which I don't expect it to be.

I also wish they had some better Linux support in preaching to the choir with that.

Love their vpn and the netshield features. Email works great and I love knowing I can read an email and automatically have trackers blocked. Aliases are great but I use their simple login site free with my proton subscription too. So my point is I like them lots, but it's not a complete Google replacement yet.
