And that's how you get a new Spider-Man villain.

My wife used to get all grumpy with high school kids (and sometimes even adults) trick or treating. I told her, I'm glad to see anyone that still has that spirit and energy. And if they don't have costumes... They probably can't afford them. Worst case, they're doing something better than the trouble they could be up to.

... But fuck those people that take the whole bowl at houses with no one home.

Health insurance is nearly a trillion dollar industry. There is no way to have a middle man that big and somehow save money.

Their goals are 100% opposed to ours. By denying care and charging more, they profit.

We can't even shop around for a better provider because it's tied to our jobs. The entire system is broken.

Abolish health insurance.

Double checked and all of the drives are basic. I'm very confused as to what is different between the disks that readable and the ones that aren't.

I've even tried multiple distros. Same scenario.

It was a good theory, but no luck. I'm perplexed on this one.

How does Joplin hold up with larger files? I've just been using Google docs, which I don't like for several reasons. One of which, is that it gets really choppy when you hit 100+ pages.

With the recent Microsoft garbage, I'm giving Linux another try. I've been running a laptop for a while, no issues. My main rig, however can't read all of my um..?hard drives

A live USB of Mint 21 reads 2 of 5 drives fine. The rest are recognized from GParted, but can't access them. It looks like NTFS-3G is installed.

I've duck duck go'd (which apparently is just Bing) for a solution, but haven't succeeded. Long term, I can probably pick up another drive, copy, and reformat everything to something Linux friendly. For now, I just want access.

I'm lazy and burned out. I don't want to use the terminal- which I did try. I just want to make a few clicks and have access to all of my files.

If it matters, the drives (roughly) show up as: 500 gb, 4 TB NTFS (readable) 3, 12, 16 TB unknown (not readable)

Windows says they're all NTFS.

Is there an easy way to easily mount my drives?

The internet with a proper ad blocker is a game changer. Take the five minutes to figure it out. You'll save more as free time than that on your first day.

Ironically, you could also YouTube how to install Firefox, then unlock.

Everyone laughs like this is obvious, but I really struggle to do this. I'm not sure if it's an ADHD thing, but I just can't make myself go to bed at night. Extremely tired? Nah, I'd better wait until I hit a second wind. There's unimportant stuff I'd rather do.

I still find that insane.

"Russia has been attacking us for 2 years. We're going to attack back." "No, don't do that. That will escalate things." "Oh cool, I guess we'll just keep taking it."

I'm drooling at the thought.

 

My havit KB395L died. It was cheapish, but great for me. I should have bought 3, because they don't make it anymore.

I bought a Red Dragon Horus (k618rgp-pro) with red switches as a replacement. The form factor is fine, and I like the wireless, but the keys feel mushy and I make typos constantly.

So, now I'm looking for something with:

  • Low Profile
  • Blue switches
  • Tactile (feel the bump on a key press)
  • Full size (I guess I could go ten keyless)
  • Backlight Bonus features:
  • Wireless
  • Hot swappable switches

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
