59 hours of usage with 140 reallocated sectors and a failing read error rate - my guess would be the drive has been dropped or damaged somehow, with such low hours of usage and a failing error rate. This would be an RMA if under warranty. Don't trust it for anything important.

Typically I would expect a mechanical WD drive to last for 5 full years of usage - about 44000 hours of run time or more. I've had several reach that age with zero or very few errors.

When all the combos are $10 or more, I no buy the burger anymore

We got along just fine before DHS ever existed so we don't need them anyway.

Nope I would have to triple or quadruple my costs for housing to move to an urban environment. Also then I would be surrounded by other people in close proximity a lot of the time. Currently I pay less than 1k/mo for mortgage, and there's only about 3 or less people per acre of land surrounding me. Costs for 1 car amount to roughly $800/mo including payment, insurance, and fuel.

That's right, I forgot about that. It was 23.1 GB compressed for the "enwiki - pages-articles-multistream" version that includes pictures.

Uncompressed and set up with XOWA viewer it's about 70 GB

What a great health tip from that leathery genius

Not only did she have a stupid "burn book" but she also brought out printed pages showing the search history of Congress members who were allowed to view the secret files, and this was photographed. They monitored, logged, and tagged the searches and documents members of Congress accessed, and she was dumb enough to hold evidence of it in front of press photographers. Now there's going to be a congressional inquiry into that too.

She's probably a big part of the Epstein cover up. She was there in Florida in 2011 as attorney general of the state, after Epstein's first conviction, and while his activities were still ongoing but did nothing about it.

No, the data itself is inherently valuable even when it's a little bit dated. We don't need daily updates to learn about historical events, methods of irrigation, 20th century election results, mineral composition of transistors and diodes, and millions of other well-documented topics. It's an incredible resource of collected knowledge with immense inherent value.

I watched some of it, heard Raskin give her a good lecture.

She refused to answer questions, only responses were insults and Trumptard slogans basically. When she asked Raskin why the Biden admin didn't investigate Epstein etc, he had a great response. Paraphrasing but he said "It's not just the Biden administration. This goes back at least 4 decades into Obama, Trump, Bush, and other presidencies. Your responsibility is the part of it that's happening now."

For the record, to correct Bondi's misinformation that I posted here, there was Epstein investigation ongoing during the Biden admin. Ron Wyden worked hard to trace billions of dollars in wire transfers to Epstein during Biden's term, and also Ghislane Maxwell was convicted and sentenced during the Biden term.

It's a good thing that lots of people have full backups of wikipedia.
I saved a copy for myself at the start of 2025. It took about 23GB of space if I'm remembering right. Maybe I'll burn a blu-ray copy for long term storage

It is not. The pedoligarchs just want us to think that we need them. But the reality is it is them who needs US.

Pedoligarchs don't run the power lines, build construction projects, or work the farms that grow our food. They aren't even the managers who oversee all of that. They are the top fraction of a percent whose sole purpose is to siphon money and power from the rest of us on the bottom of the pile.

Putting every one of them in the dirt would only make society less corrupt, so it's a win-win situation for the majority of the world population.
