I think the reason may be two-fold.

The first part, in the eyes of most older people, a man is not supposed to be emotional or give into their more “feminine” feelings. This means they don’t want their wives or children to be the ones that hear the things that concern them or probably scare them, deep down. Most of the stances of conservatives seem rooted in fear, not reason.

The second part is that you are another man, a younger man, and because they don’t know you well you are less risky to tell these things to. They can confide their fears in you because you are a young man, with a life ahead of you and you’ll give them an ear even if you don’t intend to. Really they are probably hoping someone will hear them even if they can’t really pour their hearts out.

I hear so many people say people are dumb for backing into spaces, it makes me want to back into spaces more 😈

I doubt many are looking for 8-bay DAS, anything larger than 4-bay you are probably better off with NAS. Many DAS have limited RAID support, which can make having more drives more risky.

Mass produced for the commercial market. F-650s aren’t meant for Bubba to show off to his friends, they’re meant for hauling freight, being tow trucks and dump trucks.

Everyone is capable of grandstanding and shit-throwing. Politics just so happens to bring out the worst in people

How often do you think organized protest goes uninterrupted by force in ~~mainland~~ China?

I wonder how representative the Extreme portable drives are to their SD cards. SanDisk cards have always been extremely reliable. I assume the Extreme drives are fabricated in a different factory or even outsourced to some random Shenzhen plant. Worrying is the idea that they’ve done the same with SD cards.

We’ve learned our lesson from the Hindenburg. Huge bladder of hydrogen bad, little tanks of hydrogen good
