And now Robert has been taken out of the starting lineup. So yes, the trade return hasn't worked out...but neither has La Pantera on a team with TONS of protection.

Looks like Robert is back to normal.

Not quite. He hasn't gotten hurt yet.

That’s a good SSD. Unfortunately, AI has also caused the prices for memory and storage to blow the F up to ridiculous prices like all computer hardware was during Covid.

I recently ordered a NAS to set up with my younger son as a fun project and to use it for file/media storage, iPhone backups, etc., but then I found out the current cost of large 12 TB spinning hard drives. And I needed to buy 4 x 12 TB HDD’s. Brutal. Even the used prices are obscene. The NAS unit itself was less than the price of two 12 TB hard drives. Bad timing to build a NAS.

Built a small RAID 1 two 12 TB drive NAS a few years ago when prices weren't stupid. One of the best things I've built. Starting to run out of space, though.

You can help WE with his tech/VPN issues lol.

Not so easy for us troglodytes in mid 50s and I think he said early 60s.

We’ve been bypassed by AI/LLM’s/bots and patiently await Elon’s UBI payments in the mail.

Claude is Monet lol dammit

One of the biggest scouting whiffs I've ever seen. Given his comments on him switch hitting is it possible he really had no idea who he aquired?
