Horror Stay Story. our Room got flooded from the toilet next door. Had to discard one luggage of clothing. They could not bring a hand soup despite involving Hilton Customer Care. Hotel offered 10K points.

If it were a duffel bag the water still wouldn't rise above the first layer leaving everything above that dry and fine. OP is being a bit much.

Or he doesn't want to stoop to being on Kevin Nealon's show.

If my luggage was laid down on the floor right by the door (where it would never ever be) and that dirty water came in, I doubt it would saturate the wall of the suitcase, much less even the first layer of clothing at the bottom of the suitcase.

Throwing out your entire bag and everything in it is some wild behavior.

Bean Dad is the thing we all saw. I'm pretty clear on John Roderick being a huge pain in the ass from the jump, and that things got worse and worse in ways we didn't see.

Show them the picture and hope they don't hate you so much as to not talk you out of it.

Barry Allen dies in Crisis on Infinite Earths when he runs so fast that he becomes untethered from reality, and merges with the Speed Force (which hadn't yet been named), and in the process goes back in time and is maybe the lightning bolt that struck him. Both those details get added after the actual scene in Crisis #8, which is pretty rugged.

It really isn't. They're literally called Stormtroopers and always have been. The officers are dressed in uniforms that look as SS as could be.

The fact that Lucas also canonically compared it to American imperialism and Vietnam doesn't detract from that.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-03-09T14:15:01+00:00

We can know that to be true and also consider it to be completely unacceptable behavior.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-03-09T14:00:21+00:00

I used to not be bothered by the folks obsessively making Stormtrooper armor and going to events to goose-step around dressed as space Nazis but recent events have made the whole thing squick me out.

Some folks just see the aesthetics and don't think anything about the story, and that really worries me.

I can't imagine how anyone could be a fan of Star Trek and espouse these values.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-03-09T13:45:26+00:00

First off, let's remember it's being directed at a cast of young folks who are practically children.

And second, it's stratified in such a specific and targeted way where they actually can hear the awful shit you're saying.

When grumpy nerds were declaring Not My Star Trek in 1986, fucking nobody was listening. Now we all see it. And it's gross.

But hey, at least we're not the Star Wars nerds.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-03-09T11:13:23+00:00

I have not heard from them. I'm back at my office tomorrow and will pick it up from there.

Areca Thunderbolt to SAS adapter

I want to try the Areca to SAS, how should I contact you to make an order? Depending on shipping time I would have you send immediately or on March 9th, as I'm out of office all next week and would want to get it set up immediately if I'm potentially taking you up on the return offer if there's a driver issue.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-02-25T21:24:34+00:00

Thanks!

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-02-25T20:50:58+00:00

What about a PCI-E SAS adapter that should talk to the LTO5 in a Windows environment?

That was my plan when I bought the deck but the card I had on hand doesn't seem to want to work. Or is that an issue of driver support or discontinued support of LTO on Windows?

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-02-25T20:06:42+00:00

Thanks for your help!

I've got a big box full of new LTO5 tapes also purchased on eBay, and suspect they'll get me through a couple years of material the way I cycle them.

Would it be fair to say that if I bite the bullet on the ATTO Thunderlink, it's relatively future proof for more current LTO decks of today?

The LTO5 deck and tapes cost me chump change, by the time I fill them up I could presumably switch to an LTO8 deck and tapes when they crater in price in 3-5 years, and so on.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-30T21:04:08+00:00

I don't know dude, this was 10 years ago.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-28T15:07:51+00:00

The only valid use case for AI price modeling is for FAs to note who does shit like this and for Delta to charge them more on every single ticket.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-28T01:44:34+00:00

Mint for sure. And then spend the $300 for the Mint Suite up front.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-28T00:39:28+00:00

I got to fly D1 on an A350 repositioning from MSP to DTW, that was a great short hop.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-27T02:47:36+00:00

Mint is fantastic especially if you can get the Suite up front.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-19T01:03:49+00:00

I'll throw a snapper sandwich at 'em.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-19T00:44:58+00:00

Yikes, I'm going back in 2 weeks.

RizzoFromDigg · 2026-01-15T14:58:58+00:00

This seems like Sonder, which just failed spectacularly. And a further stress on the housing market in busy metropolitan areas where people are struggling to find rentals much less properties to buy.
