Apparently (I have not confirmed it myself) Trump shared this earlier about Bloomberg and then deleted it. Regardless.....not good -- (link) - ty97 Feb 11, 08:39 14
- oh Mike....... -- (link) - ty97 Feb 11, 08:49 1
  - Charlie Kirk is a baby Nazi -- nm - Jovian Feb 11, 09:06
- Probably should have kept that until later in the primary if he wanted to destroy the Democrats. -- nm - Mop Feb 11, 08:49
- I mean, I don't know why this is news. We know he supported stop and frisk and this is and has always been the justification. He has stated that he - pmb Feb 11, 08:42 2
  - It absolutely is news. Yes, we know he supported it, but hearing him defend it in those terms is not something people have generally heard. - ty97 Feb 11, 08:46 1
    - (seriously, I know you like him, but this is capital B Bad for him) -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 08:48
- Saw some chatter about this earlier. Trump accusing Bloomberg of being racist is *rich*. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 08:41 6
  - Doesn't matter what he does. It matters what he says. - Mop Feb 11, 08:50
  - oh of course, Trump is being a huge hypocrite. Trump in 2016 said that stop and frisk as good! -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 08:47 3
    - And a coward by deleting it, to boot. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 08:49 2
      - I'm actually a bit confused why he deleted it -- nm - ty97 Feb 11, 08:50 1
        
        Because he only wanted to signal boost it, not encourage an examination of his own record on the topic. - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 08:52
  - Of course. And implying that he disagrees with aggressive police tactics is just as ridiculous when he yesterday suggested he agreed with executing - pmb Feb 11, 08:44
- And NYT picking it up -- (link) - ty97 Feb 11, 08:40
STIS: shucked a WD 6TB Essentials.. it's now failing less than 8 months into owning. is this a WD issue, or just a one-off issue? Any recommendations - colin Feb 11, 08:23 9
- In my experience, 1 out of every 8-10 hard drives fails during the first year. To be fair, we're hard on them, though. -- nm - David Feb 11, 08:38 2
  - yeah, that's what i figured. never had trouble with others. hopefully i can get what's on this one off of it :-/ - colin Feb 11, 08:44
  - you should convert back to floppy disks. Those things last forever -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:39
- I'm thinking that's a one off as I've slowly created a what should've been NAS collection of WD external HDs - JD Feb 11, 08:33 1
  - ok. just snagged a replacement. i'm running SMART on the disk now, but figure it's good to get a backup anyway. -- nm - colin Feb 11, 08:43
- Probably a one-off? But maybe look into what videographers recommend. (I assume that's the level of RW you're doing, rather than NAS) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:26 1
  - yeah, it's a single drive in my plex server where all the media sits. don't need a NAS at this point. -- nm - colin Feb 11, 08:27
- Depends on what specific type of drive it is, ie. blacks have a better warranty than greens, etc. - Shaun Feb 11, 08:25 1
  - it's under warranty, so it'll get replaced, but i need a 2nd drive while i'm waiting for that process (plus backup). -- nm - colin Feb 11, 08:25
Well, that's a first: I crashed a site just by mentioning I was going to deploy something soon. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 11, 08:22 2
- I hope you use this god like power only for good, Bery -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:58

  - I'm not sure how the Xbox/Switch slate is, but PS has some great titles coming out prior to Q4. -- nm - Shaun Feb 11, 08:20 4
    - I think I only see 1 (maybe 2) in the upcoming months. The Last of Us PT2 and maybe Bloodlines 2 -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:24 3
      - FFVII, Ghost of Tsushima, Nioh 2, Iron Man VR, Persona 5 Royal, plus a nice array of cross-platform titles as well. -- (edited) - Shaun Feb 11, 08:28 2
        
        yeah, I don't see myself playing any of those and Last of Us II may well be the AAA I get before the PS5 -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:41 1

LYC: I'm sure you're all tired of my CC rewards talk but had a question... -- (edited) - oblique Feb 11, 07:33 14
- I'm not tired of the talk. I find it fascinating. churning is a skill. I want to learn it. - Pippy - Janky Jinx Feb 11, 07:58 5
  - i don't churn, but i'll get a good card a time or two a year when they pop up, but it's a lot of work otherwise. - colin Feb 11, 08:19 1
    - other thing to be smart about - put a calendar reminder on for a year from when you get it so you can remember to cancel. - colin Feb 11, 08:21
  - It’s getting to be almost too late - spamlet Feb 11, 08:01 2
    - I don't have the time to be crazy about it, but I do need to increase my benefits. I'm lazy and its a lot to keep up with -- nm - Pippy - Janky Jinx Feb 11, 08:10 1
      - I can’t be bothered. I’ll stick with the 2% back from my Fidelity card. -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Feb 11, 08:16
- If you open more than 5 cards from any issuer in 24 months (rolling) you’ll be auto denied by Chase. - spamlet Feb 11, 07:39 5
  - Also, I just have to time this right. I should finish off the $3k for the base Hyatt rewards and then apply. The next $3k gets another 25k Hyatt but - oblique Feb 11, 07:49
  - Cool. Then we should be fine. I've had my Chase United forever (other than the upgrade which didn't change the card number) as well as Amazon and - oblique Feb 11, 07:41 3
    - It is *any* issuer not just chase so that includes store cards, etc. - spamlet Feb 11, 07:59 2

so, what is Bloomberg's route to the nom? with him not even being on the ballot in places? -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 07:31 13
- With the current horrible choices, he has a chance of winning it. -- nm - Bacon Feb 11, 07:55 9

  - Exactly. I actually made a small wager to that effect two weeks ago. -- nm - Spawn Feb 11, 08:07
  - He won in that little town in NH that votes first at midnight. 1 write-in for a Rep. and 2 for Dems (out of 5 total). He wasn't even on the ballot -- nm - decline Feb 11, 08:00 1
    - That's cool -- nm - Bacon Feb 11, 08:00
  - I was more, if he isn't on the ballots how does he have a chance? or is it just a couple states he didn't get on? -- nm - Beaker Feb 11, 07:56 1
    - the early states he missed the cut off. However, in Oregon we are only seeing Trump and Bloomberg ads here. So I see his play - Bacon Feb 11, 07:59

  - Coincidentally, I'm wearing my UA sneakers today. I actually quite like them, but I don't have your level of expertise. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 11, 07:36 1
    - They're fine for everyday wear, I'm sure. I prefer Air Max 1 or 90s for everyday sneakers. New Balance make some very comfortable yet -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 11, 07:53
