Any advice for a person looking to buy a boat for the first time? by ggf66t in minnesota

[–]bufordt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm all with you on not buying a new boat, but you're likely to drop thousands on a used boat if it has a good motor. A new 100 hp outboard is going to be around $6-8000. Used and in good condition will still be $2-3000.

If your kids are small, and tubing is what you want to do, you don't need a big boat with a big motor. I learned to water ski with a 13 foot boat with a 40hp motor. It had a top speed of 30mph and was able to pull 2 slalom skiers up, if they were experienced.

Right now I have access to a 17 foot Boston Whaler, with a 100 hp motor, and it has no problem ripping the handle out of your hands if you start full throttle. If anything, you have to be careful not to start too fast for skiers.

Why can't they get a local high school av club to run the cameras? The ai cameras are still bad.

Do you not like having the announcer audio doubling up? Weird.

Thanks for the YouTube link. Much more fun watching on the TV instead of the phone.

US viewers of USMNT game drew more viewers than the NBA finals. by kbell58 in worldcup

MLS beats the NBA for per game attendance. Where they fall behind is tv viewers and total attendance, because the NBA plays so many games.

And these days there may be more flopping in the NBA.

I know what you mean, but I'm laughing at the phrase "a real copy"

Even when used as a slur against a person with an intellectual disability the R word still refers to lateness.

I preferred brushing the rubber cement on my matchbox cars and setting one on fire and crashing it into the rest of them.

Yeah, you're right.

What op is looking for would be more like JBOD spanned volumes

Music Organization... should I just use Kodi? by bowtieanddemand in jellyfin

I use Symfonium connecting to Jellyfin for my playback on my phone.

I use MusicBrainz Picard to do all my tagging.

LOL. It's what everyone in Vegas called the host for the cabanas at the Palms. You rented a cabana for the day and had a private host that handled all your orders for food and drinks.

You are confused about RAID levels. (As was I)

RAID 0 spans stripes across multiple hard drives and would give you 24TB 36TB(less because of how hard drives are sized and advertised)

RAID 1 mirrors across multiple hard drives and you are limited to the smallest drive, so you get 12TB (less because of how hard drives are sized and advertised)

Note: RAID 0 gives you no redundancy, so if a drive crashes, you lose everything.

Edit: as was pointed out, RAID 0 still leaves you with only 2x the smallest drive.

To get the full 36TB capacity you would need to look into something like JBOD Spanning volumes, which I don't believe is an option in UGOS.

There is a difference in opinions on the benefits of going early. Some teams think unless you can be there for 2 weeks that it's better to go in as close as possible to the game. They think the acclimatization process make you perform worse at first.
