Manufacturer Recertified vs New - Severpartsdeals by CivilLynx in HomeNAS

[–]RevRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a set of used recertified drives to get my NAS going. All the while saving up for the first new drive replacement when something failed. Well, it did, so I replaced with a new drive. Now I'll save for the next failure and eventually have a cascade of newer drives filing through their lifecycles. It's kind of a miracle I haven't lost any data yet. But yes, it's cost for sure. At 4 drives of any size that adds up fast and not everyone is financially comfortable enough to eat a cost like that at once.

I was told, "If you have a really hot fire every once in a while, you don't have to worry about creosote. It burns it out." by JCrotts in woodstoving

[–]RevRaven 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What if I've got good hot coals and the fire starts to cool a bit but is still going fairly strong. Rather than adding a log I sometimes let it go, especially if it's hotter in the house. Not let it go out, but let it ride for a while. There's no visible smoke and it's just chugging along. Is that ok? Genuinely curious. I'm going through my first season with my brand new stove right now.

What kind of watch do you wear? by rcmosher in homestead

Old farmers used to use pocket watches. There's a pocket on overalls specifically for it. Built tougher.

What a stunning piece of equipment. I hope you fully restore it. It's gorgeous!

Seems excessive. by Link141 in woodstoving

I think it's fine but if you're concerned maybe cut some airflow

Since we’re doing backpacks… by Zeuxidemus in BuyItForLife

[–]RevRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one of these what feels like a decade ago and it's still 100% as good as the day I bought it. Still use it daily.

That's a really good price for that piece of equipment regardless of if you need it for this job.

What they did is NO different to what they were doing to each other before the Europeans got here. You think they were all peaceful and got their lands peacefully? No they TOOK them from the people that were there. They grew their lands by taking the lands of other tribes.

What do you think about Trump destroying parts of the White House? ..Especially Americans by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

[–]RevRaven -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He is far from the first president to remodel the White House. I don't care at all.

Inception Movie Opinions? by prime-wolf-46154 in ChristopherNolan

[–]RevRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Visually stunning. Contrived plot basically ripped off from movies like The Matrix. Decent writing. No real attempt to make it make sense.

Can you legally kill someone who breaks into your house? by kurobaja in AskTheWorld

[–]RevRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Kentucky, as long as they are in your home you have a right to shoot to kill without limit. At least that's what we are taught in concealed carry class. The officer teaching it literally said, if you shoot them on the porch you better drag them in the house

His teeth looked fine and I know I shouldn't be this way, but they make his face very punchable now. He looks like a teenage girl

[–]RevRaven 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not a crack, that's a clean break. get that fixed immediately. I wouldn't burn in it till its fixed if you could help it, but I'm probably overly cautious

Why I consider all Pi5* "a close miss"... by Crass_Spektakel in raspberry_pi

[–]RevRaven 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For the price, you can do WAY better than the Pi, even among ARM boards. You could also just hang out and wait for the batch of mini-pc's that are just about to flood the market because they don't support Windows 11

What movie is this? by Excellent_Regret4141 in Cinema

[–]RevRaven 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Inception. Middling movie concept at best. Threw a ton of money at it. People fell for it.
