we are blessed here to have the noise in the winter, too. more than three flakes of snow and there’s sure to be a legion of leaf blowers clearing off precious pavement in neighborhoods all over town. the guys that do it at 4-5am are the true treasures.

we aren’t supposed to be taking medical advice from him.

the number of years i’ve run usb->sata adapters and had (up to a dozen or so) bare drives laying around and propped up anywhere i could find a spot…

you aren’t putting a 3.5in in that slimline bay. you might be able to rig something to hold one there, though. that’s where the get ‘‘creative’’ part comes in.

you also have the 2x2.5in at the bottom but you’re missing the rails or caddies for them. should be like 5-6 bucks each or so on ebay or azn. don’t bother with those, though, unless you’re putting in hdd there. sata ssd can just be stuffed in the cage, they ain’t going anywhere.

be careful with whatever mb->sata power cables you have. make sure they’re the correct ones, as they aren’t all the same. you could get away with a 1->2 sata power splitter once on each mb power connection, as the output of each is designed for 2x3.5in hdd anyway.

edit: just looked at a similar model here. removing the slimline optical and stuffing a 3.5in hdd there will obstruct the cpu hsf a bit. might have to swap that for a lower profile cooler to put the drive there… BUT. if you take out the existing hdd (because its caddy thing gets in the way), there is just enough room along the flipout bit between that hdd bay and the 2.5in cage below to fit a 3.5in. would need a little ‘modification’ to the case there to rig a mount for it. but it fits. then the existing hdd can slide back in. (see pic, the ancient seagate hdd is placed in that space)

why we need this? wasn’t muskrat supposed to save like 3x that all by his little self?

we could also do m4a and save that much or more on health care–every two years.

you’re talking the ‘RED’ series inspiron minitower?

iirc there’s only one 3.5in bay adjacent to the slimline optical bay, and two 2.5in bays in a cage at the bottom front.

bays use drive rails which may or may not be present if the bay was unpopulated when originally shipped.

the pc uses 12vo power supply, so the drives are powered off the motherboard. those cables may also not be present if they weren’t needed for the original configuration.

slimline optical bays can often be filled with a caddy designed fit in the form factor, connecting to the optical power and sata, and hold a 2.5in ssd drive.

you will have to get ‘‘creative’’ to securely mount more than one 3.5in hdd inside.

that just means more social security funds they can pilfer.

oh, who am i kidding. like that’ll even be there at all once they’ve stolen the entire fund.

“All we want is for the decree issued by the US government to be complied with,” Sheinbaum said.

“The US government only calls the portion of the US continental shelf the Gulf of America, not the entire gulf, because it wouldn’t have the authority to name the entire gulf,” she added.

this suit pertains to google’s renaming of the entire body of water instead of just the bits over the u.s. continental shelf; or essentially the u.s. eez–which is no more than 200nm from land, less where it runs into another nation’s eez.

that region extends roughly due east from the southern tip of texas to 200nm from flordia’s gulf coast, then south until it runs into cuba’s eez where it’s then split between the two countries.

the administration is under foreign influence, that’s more an ‘invasion’ than the ‘immigration problem’.

my dad’s and grampa’s idea of ‘hot sauce’ was ketchup.

it’s only “embattled” because the far right sees fema as ‘handouts’ that often benefits some ‘brown’ people, and are quite vocal about their hate and disgust for the agency and ‘those people’.

mr. hamilton got the gig after criticizing “biden’s” fema. makes sense. donvict loves those who hate biden or obama or “the libs”.

starts work, sees what the agency really does, how it works, who it helps–realizes that “hey, this shit’s important work”.

tells others what he’s learned.

gets immediately fired for not blindly following the project 2025 playbook of chopping fema off at the knees and privatizing what’s left.

translation: “lol. like anyone’s gonna listen to us anymore.”

hate is a powerful thing. and it’s what binds them together.

they just wanna ‘ask’? and not do the actual dirty work (and unpopular–a majority of that state supports same-sex marriage) of writing and passing a state law that conflicts with obergefell, and then defending that law as it is challenged up the judicial ladder?

face planted right into a big steaming pile.

and the dumb-as-fuck lardass can’t get out of it without stinking of his own filth and shit–so he wants everybody to, yet again, just forget the stupid shit he’s done.

donvict stopped shipments himself over two months ago, shortly after that meeting at the white house. src
