White guys wearing shorts when its cold memes always makes me think of Suffer for fashion by Of Montreal . Thanks everyone for reminding me its time for an Elephant 6 listen session.

Personally I was always confused by it. I’m a white guy who loves long clothes and rock jeans whenever I can. My dad would (still does sometimes) wear shorts when its sub 50°F. I would ask why and he said he was from Michigan so I wrote it off.

I had a few friends in middle and high school who would wear shorts year round. I never realized why and they told me they were tough and shorts look cool. After growing up and looking back on their situation they probably only owned a set of clothes for year round use.

Thats why you eat your cookies on Friday and hope you don’t get called in before 10am on Saturday

The magic packet fairies are no different than us. Move the data when the boss is looking, and have some fun when they walk away.

Quick way to turn a 12tb drive into a 8tb drive on arrival.

I just watched Drag me to Hell for the first time in a decade with my wife and siblings in law a week ago. I forgot how funny and over the top it was. I ended up being the only one who finished it.

I got them to watch it by saying it was from the director who did the evil dead. I forgot to say the originals, not the remakes lol

My first “true gaming PC” has been turned into a NAS and small docker host. Its about to turn 15, and I have spare hardware to upgrade it, but I like to see how much I can churn out of it.

Has anyone set one of these up? A friend of mine just found one in a box during their move, and asked if this project was still active.

Tbh I get deep freezes now. Thats why I come to the fediverse for questions lol

Will be placed in an area with a drain. Thanks for clearing up a lot of my questions.

We went camping with some of my wife’s coworkers a few weeks ago and they told me to just cut meat ourselves and get a deep freeze. That started the cascade of getting a deep freeze and ending up with my in laws buying a new one and gifting us thr one we have. I’ll take a look at some vacuum sealers at this point. Any recommendations for bags?

I have noticed frost accumulation in the freezer over the last few years. I believe it was purchased during 2020 lockdown when we had the whole family living in one house, but when my father in law showed me it there was a decent amount of frost inside.

I can check for an anti frost setting, but am guessing it will become part of general maintenance correct? I was planning on redoing all the seals once we get it to help, but I am not sure if that will be enough.

Outlet is GFCI but will need to look into an alarm and generators. Thanks for the advice.

Currently we are doing Costco runs once a month for our meat, but just moved to an area with a decently priced butcher that sells by half a cow. My in-laws are wanting to do that, and seems doable for my household since we host a lot on the weekends.

Still trying to figure out meat prices and what is viable, but growing up in a family that would go in together and split a cow I know its cheaper in the long run. Just trying to make sure everyone else is onboard (splitting between me, my wife’s parents and her sisters)

It is, I will keep that in mind. Thanks

…its that simple? Thanks for putting it in terms I get lol.

I typed it once, I’m not typing it again

Going through a DC consolidation project now and the line techs are fucking clean. I’m slightly excited to overnight patch so I can make this place look good.

I can finally make this mess I walked into look good.

If you can get them to pitch in for a drive for your birthday its worth it. If not, hopefully they watch it before the array starts filling up

I was moving plex from my NAS to a dedicated box this weekend and spend 3 hours going crazy on why my movie library wasn’t showing up. After a break and looking through fstab, I realized “novie” wasn’t a share…

Remember kids, always work from the simplest solution up

I messed around with pills pretty bad back in 2012 and ended up with seratonin syndrome one night. Good things have happened since but nothing ever felt normal since then. Ive never talked to a doctor or psychologist about it (really anyone now that I think about it) but I swear my brain never recovered fully. Mix that in with some concussions a few years before from HS football and I feel like my brain is just broken. It might just been depression, but stuff seemed so much brighter before.

Sorry for my own rambling, but I wish you well and understand where you are coming from.
