And that, kids, is a great use of RAID: under some other form of data redundancy.

Great story!

Is the Maillard Reaction basic food science? Few people are creating recipes, and if you’re just following them, you don’t need to know it to produced good food. Heck, people cooked for millennium before Maillard identified the reaction.

Still, it had a “moment” a couple of years ago when it seems as if I saw it everywhere. Maybe the downvotes are just from fans of uncertainty.

The downvotes imply many people don’t know about the Maillard Reaction.

RAID 1 is mirroring. If you accidentally delete a file, or it becomes corrupt (for reasons other than drive failure), RAID 1 will faithfully replicate that delete/corruption to both drives. RAID 1 only protects you from drive failure.

Implement backups before RAID. If you have an extra drive, use it for backups first.

There is only one case when it’s smart to use RAID on a machine with no backups, and that’s RAID 0 on a read-only server where the data is being replicated in from somewhere else. All other RAID levels only protect against drive failure, and not against the far more common causes of data loss: user- or application-caused data corruption.

TBF, odds are good some of the first in the tank are the same size as the baby. I don’t blame him for being wide-eyed.

The high-gauge cable on the plug is chef’s kiss

I’d be happy to sacrifice a leg to save my wife. Save her and several other people? Win. She obviously wasn’t feasting needlessly.

It’s hard to tell, it’s so out of focus, but the markings look like an Orb Weaver to me. They’re common in the US, harmless, can get big, and can be really pretty.

That’s the most believable.

The cigarette companies will eventually cough up for the cure for cancer that’s being withheld to keep money flowing into the cancer treatment industry, and then smoking will become fashionable again.

That’s Ok; it’s basically a poor suburb of Portland.

Although, the one in Washington (state, USA, Earth, Solar system, Orion Arm, Milky Way, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, Laniakea Supercluster, The Universe) isn’t full of hipsters.

They aren’t documentaries. OP took those with their phone.

No worries. I use “actresses” all the time, and “stewardess”, too, although I think nowadays you’re supposed to say “flight attendants”. The hard part is that some women actors want to be called “actors”, and some “actresses.” You never know.

In my story, it was “actor” because that’s what my wife wanted to use. It’s not a hard rule - it’s a difficult one, but not set in stone. It depends on the individual’s preference.

Exactly. 1, 1000; bot doesn’t care. A human, on the other hand… this is a scheme to promote bot nets, not discourage them.

Yeah, that’s my take. “I’m sorry” is about how you feel. It’s like the OP post: you’re expressing sympathy, or remorse - an emotion. If it’s because of something you did, it does double duty as an apology. “I apologize” gives no indication that you’re sorry about what you did, or concede that it was wrong. It’s merely a recognition that harm was done, and giving a concession to the other person to achieve harmony.

Cat naps.

Community theater is the best, although K-12 can be pretty fantastic, too.

Depends on who you ask. Many people in acting prefer “actor” to be non-gendered.

If you’re anti-PC, then you probably prefer the gendered terms. In my wife’s case, she was a female actor, and I respect that. So, “actor.”

Nope! My observation has nothing to do with murder, but with a tenancy for FS developers to have personality traits - and outsized egos.
