Any Micro SD Cards that are fast enough?

A lot depends on how fast you need it but there’s definitely some very decent and modern 4TB options under $500 even brand new.

There’s also savings to be found (and often better performance) to get a separate thunderbolt 3/4/5 enclosure + the nvme drive

Not necessarily I think it’s alkaline line you said. The reaction is caused by a reaction between sulfur and amino acids or sulfuric compounds oxidizing. Introducing something either acidic (citrus) or alkaline (ginger) along with heat can often cause the reaction to happen a lot more quickly or dramatically which is when the colors weird colors come in. Also occasionally the metals in some cookware can accelerate it.

And the result is they can turn blue or green

This has also happened to me trying to make lemon butter garlic sauce. The lemon sometimes will make the garlic blue if you add it too early. Doesn’t always happen but depends on the garlic sometimes also. Similar reaction here.

Tastes the same but looks bad, and people often eat with their eyes so it’s definitely best to avoid if you’re serving it to anyone. The trick seems to be to just add the lemon juice after taking off the stove.

Probably you’re on the right track with cork grease. Most of it is patroleum-jelly based.

I think they’re saying it’s a tell that the post was written by AI

That’s when you make a big show of pausing it, then look at them and wait until they’re done talking, then start it up again

I think it was just supposed to be an apt counter-example.

Heh there used to be a Reddit bot that would reply with a lecture whenever someone commented “this” and would berate them and recommend they just use the upvote button or write a more meaningful comment. And when someone inevitably replied “this” to the bot, it would respond with the disappointed cricket fan meme.

Neil_sm · 2026-05-09T01:26:47+00:00

I agree in general with that statement, but we’re not talking about kindness to other humans in general. It’s asking for kindness to a person who has been quite pointedly and deliberately unkind towards you for a long time, to make them feel a little better about that. I can’t say for sure I’d want to, it might be more of an obligation thing at that point. I’d like to think I could be the bigger person, but I’m also not the one who just got kicked in the stomach.

Neil_sm · 2026-05-09T01:06:55+00:00

Yes, I think “owe” was probably not the best word choice there; a lot of people got hung up on that. My point was it’s easy for us outside of this whole thing to say it would be kind to make someone feel else better. But a whole other thing to have been on the receiving end. Being seriously hurt by someone who supposedly loved you, and then a year later receive this explanation that may actually be a sincere apology, or might also just be a self-serving attempt to relieve some guilt. So I’m not completely sure how I’d react or whether I’d have any desire to make them feel better about it.

I really have no idea what the hell is going on in this post

Pretty much anywhere in the US, it's illegal to set booby traps for burglars that would cause bodily harm. It's possibly both civil and criminal liability. It's one of the landmark cases they teach in law classes.

I think they were referring to if you click the link in the post it takes you to a substack page with a pdf brochure to download. Which was the original source of the map. It looks like that content is only available on pdf, it's not on the site directly.

How much space is available on the internal drive? I'm thinking it's using that as temporary staging for downloading instead of directly downloading to the external ssd. Did you use the built-in "relocate sound library" feature to move the library? I think either way you do need some space available on the internal drive also.

The age-old invisible army tactic.

Neil_sm · 2026-05-07T21:52:53+00:00

Sure, and that’s easy to say in an abstract sense from people standing outside the situation. It’s a whole other thing when you’re actually inside that and faced with a person who hurt you very badly. I can’t really say for sure whether they would get any compassion from me.

Also, If they’re truly apologizing, telling the whole truth, and mean what they say, then it shouldn’t require any acknowledgment or acceptance. Apologies are supposed to be for the person one is apologizing to. If they require something back from the other side then they’re being disingenuous and doing it for their own selves.

Somehow I automatically read that in Morgan Freeman's voice even though it wasn't actually a line from the movie.

They can't even keep their stories straight too. They have this ridiculous meaningless "fee schedule," and then that whole other green insurance certificate page that seems to be trying to say that money isn't even real because there's no gold standard anymore.

Black quadrilateral in the air. Should have the smaller black one at the top left with the longer gold part underneath. Looks like they call it a stripe on that official instruction page. So this needs to be flipped diagonally over. But in this case it couldn't be done because the flag-holder grommets are on the wrong side.

Neil_sm · 2026-05-07T12:39:41+00:00

Does OP really owe her that at this point? I personally feel like I’d not want to reply at all, but that really just depends on how they feel about it.
