  - Does Fox fight back, you think? They still hold his viewers. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 05:01 3
    - They stop giving him airtime right now, so he will depend on OANN and internet to get any attention. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 12, 05:06 2
      - I'm wondering what effect that has on Fox viewers. I doubt they'll lose many. -- nm - loosilu Nov 12, 05:07 1

- You're still in deep professional shit, even if the student is legal age. -- nm - Reagen Nov 12, 04:13 1

I am thinking of getting a 2-bay NAS, like a Synology DS218+. What kind of drives should I put in it? SSD or spinning rust? - Beryllium Nov 11, 18:05 4
- Cost is the biggest issue with large capacity SSD's vs HDD. - Karl_S Nov 11, 22:00
- Hmm, apparently DS218+II is the fastest in that line .. but there's also a DS220+ line. Time for more comparisons ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 18:12
- SSD works just fine. Just understand the wear factors on SSD vs HDD -- nm - budice Nov 11, 18:07 1
  - Though the average person isn't running a data center and I'm not sure that SSD write cycles become an issue for the average drive and to some extent - JD Nov 11, 19:16

I have zero qualms with using garlic powder for most places where I want garlic. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 17:23 11
- Depends on how it was done for me. Freeze-dried has a more rounded taste and the just however it's dried seems kind of flat and bitter. I always have fresh on hand. -- nm* - .👀 Nov 12, 02:22
- It has it’s place, but they’re mostly different for me. In a pinch I’ll substitute powder/dried but they don’t have the same flavour/texture. - mafic Nov 11, 18:31 1
  - I'm not saying fresh isn't better, just that I'm not bothered by the difference most places. -- nm - Reagen Nov 11, 18:41
- I use dry minced garlic all the time and while it’s not as good a taste as the fresh stuff, it suffices. -- nm - kelly Nov 11, 18:18
- Ditto. Plus I tend to end up wasting fresh garlic because it dehydrates before I use it. -- nm - Max Nov 11, 17:35 1
  - This is one of two issues I have with fresh garlic, and something I hope the freeze dried stuff helps with. - Beryllium Nov 11, 17:50
- hmm, disagree. Has only the top notes, not the oily punch. -- nm - loosilu Nov 11, 17:30 2
  - It has earthy undertones, a smooth draw and enough kick to give me the high and the low. -- nm - budice Nov 11, 17:40 1
    - Please don't snort it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 11, 17:49
- I agree. I also think onion powder has its place. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 11, 17:24 1
