Generally because you’re buying cheaper ones that aren’t built as well. Heat destroys LEDs and the cheap bulbs generally use fewer individual LEDs running at higher power to produce a given output in lumens. More expensive bulbs use more LEDs at lower power to achieve the same light output so that they’re not constantly being overdriven and last much longer.
People like this always default to implying marijuana is some mysterious new invention. It’s quite hilarious to read living in a state that first passed MMJ laws 28 years ago and even more hilarious when you learn that people have been using it for thousands of years at this point.
It doesn’t sound like Georgia has anything going on, based on the article.
I live in Oregon in a city of 250k and literally every single independent pharmacy has been driven out of business because they can’t compete against Walgreens and RightAid on drug pricing. These two companies are the only option outside of Walmart and Costco, and have terrible hours and reliability. Walgreens is only open M-F 8-5 and numerous times recently have been inexplicably closed in the middle of the day when I’ve gone to pick up prescriptions for my parents.
On the other hand, we have probably 100 different dispensaries in town all owned by different people. Prices are dirt cheap and availability is great. One is open 7 days a week from 7am to 10pm. Having this shit be handled by some corporate pharmacy would be a death sentence for the entire industry.
So would you consider yourself a “stained t-shirt and sweatpants” person, a Trump supporter or a combination of the two? I seemed to have struck a nerve.
That dude does not look 86.
Nah it’s a counter to statements like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/28/us/politics/biden-speech-economy-chicago.html
Sarcasm or not? Hard to tell
Also Walgreens.
Good luck with that unless you plan on moving to Mars or something.
R7 gang here. Let us keep the dream alive!
Curious what was the model of your drive failure? I have 6 years now on a bunch of 8TB WD Elements/EasyStore drives as well as some 10TB-14TB WD MyBook, Elements, and refurbished WD drives from serverpartdeals in the preceding years. Still no failures yet but I’m expecting one eventually.
I’m currently running mine on Windows and use SnapRAID and DrivePool as my defense against drive failures. I think I have 7 data drives and 2 parity at this point (totalling around 90TB). Beyond that I copy the Snapraid whatchamacallit to a separate backup drive along with my OS drive. This isn’t really a ‘backup’ but in the scenario where I have several failures and no way to restore, I still have radarr/sonarr keeping track of my library and a membership to several private trackers.
I wouldn’t worry too much about losing media files as most can just be downloaded again. I find it more beneficial to make use of all the storage space you can rather than trying to do a 1:1 backup, which gets pretty absurd once you start getting up there in movie/TV count.
I might have offended the “sweatpants and stained tshirt” crowd. I apologize for my callousness in comparing you all to Trump.
Uhh this money is still going to get allocated to someone.
Pretty sure this stuff already exists in some form. /r/datahoarder people would probably be able to steer you in the right direction though you may need to lay out several thousand for enough HDDs to hold it.
I don’t think he means it in the way we think. It’s more likely he means “turn off” like the sleazy guy at the bar in sweatpants and a stained shirt who hits on all the women. I’d say “mission accomplished” Mr. Trump.
It’s unbelievable to see him in Slow Horses and then see him in this article photo. He’s so good at disguising himself.
I just buy a cheap jumbo pack from Amazon. They’re like 15 bucks and last for years which is good enough for me.
